Frothy Fuddle. The frothy fuddle with which he drops this kind of offbeat remark is the essence of Morgan's radio character. He is never at a loss for a sly ad lib. or a vocal innuendo. As a comedian, Morgan can shoot through the yolk of a new-laid egg "without making the hen get up." For this arch archery he gets $3,500 a week-$1,500 less than Comedienne Brice. He also manages to make several pictures a year for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. But when his own show is airborne, he will cost the sponsor...
Last week a group of Stanford University scientists announced that they had found a far more virulent poison in a species of salamander, Triturus torosus, which is abundant in California. The venom occurs in the egg yolk, in embryos which have not finished eating the yolk, and in egg-carrying adult females. When some of this poison was injected into a cat, the cat lost muscular coordination, collapsed, went into convulsions, suffered respiratory paralysis, died in 20 minutes. Quantitative tests showed that one gram (1/28 oz.) of Triturus poison is enough to kill 75,000 mice or 600 monkeys...

...good stained glass, covers eight typewritten pages, can "go wrong in 40 ways," comes out striated with layers of green and white beneath the red. To approximate the colors with which pious artisans glorified God at Chartres and Poitiers, Artist Saint has cooked up messes of egg-yolk, hollyhock, calendula and portulaca. To get a certain yellow, Mr. Saint boiled a cow's hoof, as a medieval manuscript directed. So noisome was the process that Artist Saint had to yell for his sons to carry the bubbling hellbroth away...
