None eould ever find a victim to be saved, however, and now investigation discloses that the bloodcurdling cries are being uttered nightly by, three male peacocka belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Powell, who live on Powell Lane. Mr.

and Mrs. Powell started raising the birds as a hobby about three years ago. They now have seven, three cocks and four hens. Although the cocks do some screaming at all times of the year, Mrs. Powell says, they are noisier at this time, of the year, which apparently is their mating season, and they make more noise early In the evening, sometimes keeping up their screaming for an hour at a time.

The females are comparatively quiet. 2 TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY 'Tomato" Potato! Tomato! These the replies to what appeared to be a gardening phenomenon on display at The Journal-Gazette office today. The rarity which adorned each potato vine in the garden of Henry Lanman at 1021 Marshall avenue was a cluster of from five to seven fruits resembling small green tomatoes. Upon closer examination of the Inside, the fruit looks like i tomato, but smells like a potato. J.

A. Rue. 1217 Marshall avenue, a gardener for many years, said he has never seen "anything like it." Mrs. R. G.

Riddle the Western avenue road offered an explanation. She said: "The potato and tomato are related. While most potato plants die before the fruit has a chance to mature or the fruit is bred out of the plant, In some Instances the cluster does occur in wild potatoes. In this particular case the clusters may have been produced because of the excessive moisture this season." Other gardeners expressed the opinion that the cluster was formed of potato seeds found on potato vines in the northern states. However, feeling that any garden product that can stump so many local gardeners should have a name, Journal-Gazette reporters concocted "pomato." solely for the lack of a better name.

Suggestions for a correct or more fitting name for will be IN THIRD DEGKQ Wednesday, July 11, M. All Master Mann vaS CI.OSR ATITR.Tl A ITTFRHnONS Come. n.ffnlin... The office of the West Coles ruIIer w- M-: Earl F. Collins, Secy! pf peace feelers of whatever origin.
