Judy’s Column
ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN I
Dear Judy—I am a boy 17 years
old, and there is a girl in my life.
I like this girl very much but she
doesn’t recognize my love for her.
How am I to make her realize that
I love her. She doesn’t talk very
much and thus I have a hard time
keeping a conversation with her.
She is very affectionate to all her
friends and even me but this mere
friendship is not enough for me;
I want all her love and I am will
ing to settle for even a small por
tion of her heart. When I see her
I am tempted to take her in my
manly arms and give her one of |
my tender kisses. Do you think
that I have a chance with her ?
Please advise me so I will know
what to do.
Thank you
Signed ? ? ? ?
Dear Fellow Companion:
I am in great sympathy with
you, your problem requires my spe
cial attention. After due consid
eration my advice to you is to
win her confidence and let her
know that she is the only girl in
your heart. Show her a good time,
I being a girl, know that if you
carry out my advice I’m sure you
will succeed. Let me know by
next week how you made out and
with your love life. Please answer
my questions, How old is she?
What school does she go to? Does
she like to go to shows? Is she
the type that runs around with all
types of boys ? Have you ever
kissed her? If so, how did she
take it; did she faint or did she
ask for more? I have to know
these questions so I can advise you
further.
Signed Judy.
If you have a problem about your
love life, please write me and tell
me about it and I will try to
soothe the pain.

Longer Days Spur Robins*
Flight North, Tests Show
If the robins come north, it's not
because they know it’s getting
warmer here, as the myth says.
They return because changing day
lengths on their wintering grounds
have altered their whole physiolog
ical condition and because they
had stored up a supply of fat suf
ficient to provide energy for the
spring migration to their breeding
grounds. Dr. Albert Wolfson, in
structor of zoology at Northwestern
university, concluded from a series
of experiments.
Though some scientists believe
that the increased light acts direct
ly on the pituitary glands of the
birds, producing hormones that
change their condition, Wolfson be
lieves that the problem is somehow
related to the changed ratio be
tween sleep and wakefulness. His
experiments, conducted in Califor
nia over a five-year period, proved
that an artificial increase in day
lengths could induce migration in
January, causing the birds to arrive
in the snow-covered north far ahead
of schedule.
Some scientists believe that a bird
migrates when its reproductive or
gans have reached a particular
stage. But Wolfson’s studies show
that this is only a part of the gen
erally changed psychological condi
tions that cause migration.
New Chemicals Prolong
Life of Materials
There are new chemical com
pounds which aid in the dyeing of
materials so that they become more
permanent to light and laundering.
The old problem of gas fading will
disappear, and the materials used
for interior decorating will stand up
against prolonged exposure to sun
and heat without fading or disinte
grating.
Moth-proofing of wool will become
permanent. It will do away with
the trouble of carefully storing win
ter blankets and clothing and will re
lieve us of the worry of moths in
floor coverings and upholstered fur
niture. Wool will also have its
shrinkage cut to a minimum, which
will prevent matting and scuffing
and make it crease-resistant.
The little silverfish which thrives
on rayon will meet its match, for
rayon can be given a bug-proof fin
ish. This finish also gives rayon a
lasting crispness and stability and
increases its number of uses. Flame
retardant finishes have been devel
oped for war use and will be avail
able on postwar fabrics for our use.
Mildew retardants have also been
developed for war use and will pro
vide us with shower curtains, out
door furniture fabrics and awnings
that will be safe from that destruc
tive mold called mildew.

Drawn Poultry Constitutes
72 Per Cent of Weight
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has answered the question of
how much drawn poultry can be
obtained from a thousand pounds of
good fat live frying chickens. The
experiment was carried on with
well finished White Wyandotte cock
erels.
Flesh constitutes 60.99 per cent;
giblets, which includes heart, liver
and gizzard, account for 4.49 per
cent; and the bones of the body
alone, which are included in the
drawn weight, account for 7.42 per
cent, making a total of 72.9 per cent
of the original live weight. This con
stitutes what food purchasers call
the “yield” from 100 pounds of
live poultry as purchased. It is em
phasized that these were well fat
tened White Wyandotte cockerels of
good market type, averaging about
5% pounds live weight.
Other data that may be of inter
est are that the blood, which was
collected, amounted to 3.57 per
cent, feathers 8.97 per cent, intes
tines 6.78 per cent, head and feet
7.78 per cent of the live weight.
