Atom Scientists
Win Nobel Prize

biologist, for fundamental re

EGGED ON
Two men—one a youth named
j Thomas, the other an elderly fel
] low, Ackerman—operated grocery
| stores in the same neighborhood.
I Quite often, the two engaged in
! price wars, with eggs the usual
! weapon. At the start of the latest
| battle, Thomas lowered the price
I several cents a dozen. The next
■ day Ackerman met this price, so
Thomas dropped another cent.
This went on for a few more
days until finally Thomas visited
the older man and unhappily said,
“I quit. We’ve both been selling
eggs at a loss for so long.”.
“Oh, no!” laughed Ackerman.
“Not I. I’ve been buying my eggs
from you.”

‘Whatnik’ on Roadside
Proves To Be Fakenik
LOS ANGELES, UP>—Now about
that “Whatnik” with the Russian
lettering:
It’s a fakenik, comrade—a good
old American practical joke.
The Whatnik, three feet long
with fins and a spinner, was
found Monday alongside a moun
tain highway by a motorist. He
turned the gadget over to author
ities.
Lettering on the Whatnik’s side
was translated as Russian words
for “Russian Government.” How
ever, the Air Force checked the
object and reported that the parts
of the Whatnik were as American
as the comer war surplus store.
