FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

PROFIT: Although steel mag
nate Henry c. Prick spent mil
lions on his art collection, he
was at all times a businessman
who insisted on getting full value
for every dollar spent. To deter
mine such value in a work of
art. he sometimes employed un-
orthodox methods of computa-
ton.
In 1910. he bought for $400, 900
Spanish painter Velasquez' i'm
mortal portrait of King Philip
w of Spain. Prick began to
wonder If he hadn't oyerpaid
for the picture. After all, King
Philip in 1645. had only paid
the equivalent of 600 American
dollars for it.
Prick began to compute how
much 5000 at 6 per cent inter-
est compounded semiannually
would yield in 265 years. The
figure he came up with relieved
him immensely. 1t proved To
him conclusively that instead of
overpaying. as he had feared,
he had bought the picture at a
bargain price!

DR.. M. @. Candau, director
general Of the World Health
Organization, said the rapidly
developing science of nutrition
has now established how much
of different kinds of food is
necessary for health.
THE lack OF the right foods
for health is an even greater
difficulty than shortage of
staple foods" he said, for 1t
involves not only assuring nee
essary supplies, but also bring
ing the community to under
stand and accept the advantages
of using them

practically no wild fur-bearing
animals are taken by quick and
painless methods" In the United
States in particular, it says, the
animals are caught in "cruel
steel traps which hold the crea-
ture for hours-often days-in a
pressure SO intense that the VIC
TINS gnaw their limbs off to
escape the torture, leaving the
shared portion dangling in the
trap"
Painless Death on Farms
The defenders added, however.
that the animals produced on fur
farms are usually well treated
and killed painlesSly."
The organization actually got
its start about 1915 when the
late Navy Comdr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Brock of Massachusetts or
ganized the Antisteel Trap
League.
After Comdr. Breck's death in
1920, Miss Lucy Furman OF Ken
lucky carried on. In 1947 the
group reorganized and took its
present name.
Throughout the year it inves-
tigates cases of cruelty brought
to its attention and keeps in
touch with roadside ZOOS and as
many fur farms as possible.
Most of the youngsters in the
group are Boy and Girl Scouts.
Some rs were present last night.
The program included talks
by Mrs. Herb Grisler, who, with
her husband. is a nature pho
tographer for Walt Disney; Miss
Catherine Hammett of New York
City, nature program director of
the Girl Scouts Of America. and
Mrs. Dorothy Richards, owner of

the only group in the United
States which devotes its efforts
exclusively to the cruelty
harassed and rapidly diminish
ing fur mammals"
An independent, non-profit
organization, with local Offices
at 2140 P street NV, its OBJ
jectives are to promote. through
education and research, the
curbing of cruel traps and all
other painful methods of cap
turing or killing wild fur-bearing
animals, and their protection
and conservation.
Its current drive is aimed at
wildcat" trappers.
Method at Issue
While the program last night
included the modelling of fur
fabric wraps. the group, headed
by conservationist Delos Z. Cul-
yer. isn't asking that fur pieces
per Sc be outlawed. Its COM
plants, for the most part, are
leveled at the method in which
the pelts sometimes are acquired.
1t is so disturbed about what
1T says is the widespread use of
steel traps that it's conducting
"a drive to encourage manufac-
turers the only use animals
raised on farms under ideal con-
'ditions to so label their coats.
That way, it figures, the wild

the traps will be forced to change
their ways.

bought them if they knew what
those creatures went through"

who asked you?" replied Mr..
Muzzy.
Mr.. Heinsite barged right
ahead. Bidding and dummy
play are routine, but you recog-
nize a real player by the way he
defends. You've got to have
imagination and initiative"
please tell me more" said
Mr.. Muzzy. Give us just one
more hour of these fascinating
remarks"
Mr.. Heinsite shrugged re-
signedly and picked up his hand.
He glowed inwardly when he saw
1t contained no less than 10
honor cards. He elected to open
the bidding with one club and
Mr.. New responded with one
diamond.
Here Mr.. Muzzy asked for a
review. Learning that Mr.. Helm
site had indeed bid clubs he
went into a huddle. Finally he
decided they were not going to
keep him out of the bidding
and he came in with one spade.
Mr.. Heinsite now Embossed his
big guns. Two no-trump," he
said loudly. Mr.. New suggested
that diamonds might be the best
spot with a call of three in that
suit. But Mr.. Heinsite was not
to be talked out of playing his
hand and he went back to game
at no-trump.
Mr.. Muzzy appeared confused
by these developments, but after
some thought he said, II think
I'll double"
Mr.. Heinsite's tone was mock
ing. II think I'll redouble," he
chanted.
Whether Mr.. Muzzy remem-
bered it or not, the double in
this situation strongly suggests
that partner lead the doubler's
bid suit and Mr.. Dale dutifully
led a spade. Mr.. Muzzy won with
the ace and carefully and slowly
ratified off six club tricks to put
the contract down 1000 points.
Mr.. Dale congratulated Mr..

ultimately guided him into the

REPORT DIXIE
BOYCOTT OF
"SATCHMO,
OTHER ARTISTS

ATLANTA - (ANP) - Here
in this major Southern capital
city, reports are rampant that
Dixie boycott Is being directed
against Louis "Satchmo" Arm
strong and other Negro artists as
reprisal for their criticizing Of
the handling of the Little Rock
school indignation dispute. Arm
ltrong, meanwhile, is beng es-
pecially pegged for his Withdrawal
from a State Department SPONSOR
ed tour Of Russia and for blast
ing the treatment Of Negroes In
the South.
In Hattiesburg. Miss, a disc
jockey announced that he was
refusing to play records by Arm
strong, Eartha Kit, and Lena
Horne because they endorsed
"Satchmo's" criticism.
His announced campaign Is
similar to others being conducted
a subtle manner against Negro
stars In other Southern cities.
For instance, luke joints In
Birmingham were plugging up the
slots Of all records by Negroes,
while In Atlanta, selections by
Negro performers have been re-
moved.
Disc jockeys in Memphis, Little
Rock, Jackson, Miss, Charleston,
S. c. and Nashville also indicated
they would not play records 10y
the Negroes.
Other Negroes not involved in
the controversy but still mention
ed as victims Of the boycott are
Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey,
Fats Domino and Louis Jordan.
