four to five times the known petro-

for more than 80 years at the

produced from oil shale In Scotland.

division of conservation and natural
resources for a number of young
pheasants to put In 1 a cloth house

<h* aoil used for the planting beds
often contained unhatched eggs of
gresshoppers, cutworms and other
Aumagtog worm* and bugs, and it
was his idea that the pheasants
wwuld consume the unwanted vis-
itors.
The division men were intrigued
by the proposal and 10 young pheas-
ant* were loaned for the experi-
ment. The birds were kept to a regu-
lation pen installed within the cloth
uactoture for a few days, then
given the run of the entire place.
The result* were excellent — all

The dipper* are aggressive and
ctive, a* would be expected, and
they did not wait until evolution
gave them webbed feet and other
characteristic* generally assumed to
be necessary to aquatic birds. The
dippers screwed up their eyea so
that they could see under water—a
real task for a land animal—and
now the dipper* are to be found
walking and flying (that’s right, they
flap their wings under water) on the
bottom of rocky streams. With con-
siderable training the eyes have be-
come adjusted to under water seeing
and now the present-day dlppera
have only their eyes, adapted to
amphibious seeing, to help them find
enough to eat under water while
they evolve webbed feet and other
accouterments considered essential
to aquatic birds.

Ci Delicious Meat
Extension nutritionists suggest a
delicious meal built around hot meat
and onion snndw'ehes. For such a
meal, the large, mlld-flavored
Spanish onions are excellent. To
prepare the sandwich, cook one pint
of sliced onion until tender to about
three cups of meat broth or water.
Thicken slightly with flour mixed
with cold water, and cook several
minutes longer. Stir to one pint of
cut-up left-over or canned meat and
heat thoroughly. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Add celery salt,
catsup, chill sauce, or parsley if de-
sired. Use as filling for sandwiches
with bread or hoi biscuits and pear
hot gravy over the top.
