NOW THEY HATCH COLORED
CHICKS, FEATHERS WILL FADE
Some two dozen chickens hatch-
ed at Vineland, N. J. are right in
the spirit of the Easter season.
Instead of the usual pale yellow
or black, their downy loats are red,
areen and deep yellow.
It's the result of experiments
made by Mrs. Aya Mary Kiss, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who inoculated 50
eggs with government-approved
dyes. About 27 of them produced
chicks with other than the normal
colors.
The chicks were hatched at the
