Jr. Barrymores
Have In-Law Woe

HOLLYWOOD Up - The John
Barrymore juniors say they had
mother-in-law trouble, but no mari
tai spat, at the windup of their
Palm Springs honeymoon last
week end.
Mrs. Barrymore, the 26-year-old
actress Cara Williams, said they
invited her mother, Mrs. Florence
Williams of Los Angeles, to their
Palm Springs hotel for the week
end.
Mrs. Williams, said her daugh-
ter, announced that 81 don't ap-
prove of this marriage" and 81
don't like your husband" How
ever, they took her to dinner and
drove her to another hotel.
The second phase of the week
end which led to rumors of a
honeymooners' squabble had to do
with a cut on young Barrymore's
arm. His bride said he was posing
for some shots for a photographer
friend, did a handstand but lost
his balance and fell through win
dow. The arm cut required five
stitches.
Barrymore, 20, son Of the late
"Great Profile" whose domestic
difficulties made numerous head
lines said, Eve had no fight at
all. l love Cara with all my heart. !"
The couple was married Dec.

NEW YORK R-PriceS of farm
products are skidding again. II
even shows up in lower prices on
some items at the grocery.
The reason: Huge supplies.
Almost 80 per cent more wheat
on hand than a year ago. Corn
supplies up almost one-tenth. A
record number of cattle fattening
in the nations feed lots. Farm
stocks of feed grains 10 per cent
bigger than last year.
So, many farmer is wondering
if the history of the EOS is to be
repeated. Back then the farmer
had his own private depression be-
fore it started for the general pub
lie.
That's what is back of all the
ruckus now in Congress.
Some congressman from the
farm belt want to raise the level
at which the government supports
farm prices.
Others think the government
should start now buying up food
stuffs to bolster the prices.
But if farm prosperity goes sour,
little by little it might spoil the
boom for all the economy.
City folk think the price of food
is still too high. So firm is this
conviction that it has little effect
to tell them--as all connected with
the food industry are constantly
doing-that the cost of farming, OF

sing and packaging food, of dis
tributing it, and Of selling victuais
at the grocery. all have gone IN
in recent years. The city man still
thinks he pays too much to eat.
The farmer, on the other hand,
is well aware of the rise in his
operating costs. He knows how ex-
pensive modern farming is--the
machinery, the fertilizers, the
sprays, the labor. He also knows
the spread between the price he
gets for foodstuffs and the price
the consumer pays at the store
And with the present weakness
in farm prices, be sees his income

First to feel the effect Of this

wings at rest may be marked on
their inner margins by a white

year are almost indistinguishable
from the adults except for their
smaller size. The very young NAV
show a browniSh crest and many
of the feathers have white shaft

Shelled, luSterlesS, creamy eggs,

is more largely insects than is the
case with most other quails and
may be up to % per cent animal
matter. About so per cent of the
total food is weed seeds and the
remaining part is fruits.
Apparently the recuperative
power of the Scaled Quail is such
that with reasonable management
its numbers may be maintained
in the area where il is normally
found. 1t is with the determina-
ton of what these management

In years when the rains visit
the usually arid Southwest of the
United States, little covcys of blue
gray quail may be reasonably a.
bundant except where ovcrgrazing
may nave cancelled out the ad-
vantaSes brought by the rains.
These quail range from western
Oklahoma, western Texas and
southern Colorado south through
Arizona and New Mexico TO south
ern Sonora and northern Chihua-
hua. Scurrying must well be de-
lihcd as the way in which these
pleasing animals get over the
ground. They may move slowly
Tor few initial steps, but when
they decide that il is best to be
elsewhere they move and move
rapidly.
Scaled quail are to be found in
two varieties: The Arizona Scaled
Quail. whose range is much as
described: and the Chcstnut-belli-
ed Scaled Quail. whose range in
the United States is limited TO
southern Texas but which is more

generally thought OF as a Mexican

These quail are typical of the
desert country though they are
often the commoneSt quail around
ranch houses and associated Guilt
waited lands. In the fall months
they are likely to be found at
slightly higher elevations than is
the case during the nesting season.
However, a covey may spend its
entire lifetime within a relatively
small area. The abundance of the
quail varies definitely with the
nature OF the season. In dry years
there may appear to be no young
BIRDS, while in more favorable sea-
sons there may be a number of
broodS and plenty of young to be
seen.
The Scaled Quail are also called
blue quail and "cotton-tops"

NEW YORY - The great lessons
OF the economic ineptitude of gov

These plans would call for gov

ployment reached the 2.5 million

the danger point in l949. (The Ko-

TAX is REPEALED - Florida

away from special taxes aimed at
cham stores. A law repeating its

tive June 80.
This makes fifteen states which
have done away with measures
aiming special taxes at chair-storc
organizations. The Florida law.
passed in 1888, graduated the tax
according TO the number of stores
chain operated nationally, not
just in Florida. Only three states
retain such graduated taxes.
Altogether there were 20 states
that experimental with legislation
aimed at taxing chain stores spec
lfically. The trend away from SUCH
tax programs resulted from oppo-
Sitlon by many groups. Farm Or
