Backward Boy Makes Good Zippy Sketch of Zilch
BY J. PONTIUS WEST
An excerpt from "People You Think You Might Like to Know, but Wouldn't."
Zilch, E. A., b. 1880, d ... Father: Some confusion here.
Mother: Jessie A. Zilch. Born in Upper Queens, New York,
April 29, 1880. Famous as the Founder and Patron Saint of the
New York Daily Peep and Bleat, the discoverer of type lice,
and the man who first discovered what makes the light go out inside refrigerators.
Minds in the Making
In early boyhood, was considered somewhat backward, but came out of it nicely at about the age of 14 when he began to walk and enunciate simple words such as "dice," "beer," and "blonde." His formal education is believed to be somewhat sketchy. He attended several small exclusive schools, but interest in education with a little persuasion from various long suffering headmasters.
After receiving no degree from any institution of higher learning, he traveled widely between Forty-second and Forty-third streets in New York, and later published a widely-read travel book entitled, "Variations in Wine List Prices in Various Pubs in the Vicinity of Downtown New York." For this work he expected the Pulitzer prize, which, however, at the last minuteailed to materialize.
Blues in the Night
At about the age of 35, he married Minnie LaRue, a well known diva on the New York theatrical stage, who later left him on charges of extreme neglect. After his unfortunate marriage he turned to the newspaper world and founded, in 1920's, the Daily Peep and Bloat, nat famous New York newspaper. At the last report, Zilch was wanering in the wilds of Tibet gathering material for an opus entitled, My Lama Done Tol' Me."
Old Feline Canvas On Block For $7
Philadelphia — (UP) — The portrait of one of Philadelphia's most mous cats has been unearthed in an auction room and a former friend of the feline has purchased the canvas r $7.
"Tix," angora toast of the city's ninety fashionable Green's Hall, has been dead 40 years and every one had forgotten that Ben Austin, artist, had painted her portrait. Insurance Broker Walter Linn found the picture in an auction house, instigated and found his hunch was it—it was the painting of Tix. Linn, who 44 years ago was a cub porter on the old Philadelphia homes, remembered the cat from the ys when—if he could scrape toher 50 cents for a deluxe dinner at een's—he could find her stalking justically through the lobby, din-room, or wherever else she wanted go.
Mahlon W. Newton, owner of the hel, liked angora cats. Tix was one he owned. Tix stood 16 inches in the floor to the tips of her ears I had a tail 15 inches long. The's mother was valued at $1,000. Her 18th birthday Tix died. A spencer and decorator made a silked casket. Hundreds of Philadelphians called to pay last respects. Tix was buried with ceremony in yard of the Newton homestead at odbury, N.J.

The topic will be "American Students Look at Post-War Planning," and is a program like a broadcast 2 weeks ago which featured foreign students discussing the same question.

Gas Stations Turn To Other Items
Youngstown, Ohio — (UP) — Profits from "extra items" are fast taking the place of proceeds formerly received from the sale of gasoline and tires at filling stations in the Youngstown area, it was announced by Lloyd Jugenheimer, executive secretary of the Independent Gasoline Dealers' Association.
They will rival the corner drug store as a place where you can buy almost anything.
Some of the new articles added to the regular stock are flashlights, candy, fire extinguishers, and one dealer has put in a line of garden and flower seeds. The latter dealer expects to have plants before long.
"Garden seeds and plants are some of the many extra items added to the regular stock," Jugendheimer said. "People will be taking to gardening, and the station owners can use the extra nickels derived from their sale."
Many gasoline dealers in rural districts are putting in grocery items that people used to drive to purchase at the big supermarkets.
Spencer Burtis, college junior, was appointed editor of the Jayhawker yesterday. Duane Smith, a college sophomore, was appointed business manager for the second time. Appointments are made by the Jayhawker advisory board.

Billions for Allied victory . . . or for tribute to dictators? There is only one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds and Stamps.
Students in the University high school gave a tea at 3 o'clock this afternoon for their supervisors, practicing principles of food planning they have learned in a nutrition course sponsored by the Red Cross and the University department of home economics.
Nutrition Students Prove Their Skill
The course is an attempt to utilize the stimulus provided by the war, to emphasize the need and value of proper nutrition, Miss Olga Hoesley, associate professor of home economics and director of the course, said today. Special attention is being paid to dairy products, whole-grain cereals, fruits, vegetables, and meats, she said, since these foods are most valuable in maintaining health.
The class meets twice weekly and will run for seven weeks, at which time an examination over the course will be given. Those who pass will be given a Red Cross nutrition certificate.
Evans, Harris Appointed To Teaching Positions
Dick B. Evans, class of 1941, and Eleanor Harris, college senior, have been elected to teaching positions by the Teachers' appointment bureau, H. E. Chandler, secretary of the bureau, said today.
