Morgan of Pas, Canada, has one of the most talented of the many hitchhiking dogs which have broken into print during the past few years. The dog’s name is “Mike,” a Spaniel. When Mike was a puppy he start ed teaching himself to travel from place to place with the least amount of effort. When he wanted to go to some specified destina tion, he would trot to the nearest corner where there was a traffic light. There, on the stop signal, he would hop on the running board of some car and ride as far as he chose. Then he would continue his trip from the next traffic corn ner. Soon Mike’s hitchhiking took an aquatic turn and he learned to board river steamers as they cast off from their docks and to debark at some distant stop, then return home by the same means. The- next step in his career was a study of railroad trains. He would board one of these at the local station, make friends with the train crew and ride as far as he cared to. Jimping off at some way station, he took the next train back home. There are hundreds of hitchhik ing dogs. Why they decide on such a career and, often, how they pur sue it is one of the thousands of canine mysteries. *■ * * THE PRICE OF PUPPIES When you make up your mind to buy a puppy, the price asked by a reliable breeder may stagger you. .However, there is something to remember before stamping the breeder as a "crook.” It is this: There is more risk in raising dogs than in trading in margins on Wail Street. Sometimes a big •‘He’ hop on the running hoard of a car”. litter will be born and all its mem bers will live and thrive. Again, just as large a litter may be born and every puppy in it will die dur ing infancy. In the latter case, the breeder must pay for the dam's food and for her care for a whole year and often must pay a large stud fee, and get back not one penny of his investment. Add to this the feeding cost and the occasional veterinarian fee for such pups as live, and you will understand that the breeder is not a crook at all. The pups he sells must pay the “overhead” on those which die and on the upkeep of his whole kennel. Unless the breeder is raising dogs just for the fun of it, he must ask and receive a good price for his pups if he is running his kennel as either you or I would run a business. * * * ELBOWS AM) AGE If you are at a loss to figure out a dogs’ age, there are one or two signs to guide you. One of them is the condition of his mouth. There is an old saying, “A dog is as old as his teeth,-’ yet I have known youngish dogs with worn or decayed or missing teeth and old dogs w’hose teeth are white and strong and perfect. So the condition of a dog’s teeth is not really a re liable index to his age. However, here is one for making a shrewd guess at it: Study the elbows. Many years of lying down and getting up will leave their traces on the patch of gristle which marks canine elbows. The older the dog, the larger and lumpier and more pronounced is this patch of elbow skin. * » * AMERICA’S FIRST WAR DOGS We hear and read a lot about the exploits of war dogs these days. However, this isn’t the first war that this country has been engag ed in where dogs were employed to lick the enemy. The first World War wasn’t either. When Van Buren was President the war with the Seminole Indians was at its height. (Incidentally this country is still technically at war with this tribe of Indians, a formal peace treaty or armistic never having been signed.) Van Buren was persuaded to try bloodhounds in tracking down the Indians in the Everglades. At an extravagant ;ost a considerable number of hese dogs were imported from Cu 3a for the task. For some reason the dogs could lot be induced to pursue the In lians and this method of carrying in the war was abandoned. All sorts of theories were advanced for :he dogs’ failure. Some said it was he swampy ground, others that the Indians had an oder different from the people the dogs had been rained to track. Regardless fo the reason the experiment failed, oringing ridicule and censure on President Van Buren and General raylor, the army officer who had so strongly advocated the use of the dogs. These dogs were the first war dogs ever employed by a Unit ed States Army. " • • • USE POINTS FOR STEW BEEF In spite of rationing and the high point value of meat some dog own ers are buying mgat for their dogs. Stew beef is the best type of meat for a dog. Finely ground hamburg er tends to pass too quickly through the intestines and often has a tendency to ferment there. While no particular harm will be caused by feeding a dog hamburg ers, stew beef not only contains less fat but is actually better for the animal. * * * THE QUESTION BOX Question: What can I do to rid a seven-months-old puppy of lice'.’ He has a lot of them. —T. B. Answer: Brush the dog daily with a brush that has been dipped in naptha or aniseed oil. Regular ca nine lice powders also recommend ed. Question: My son is bathing our new puppy, a three-months-old Col lie, once a week. Not only does this mess up our bathroom but I am wondering if it is good to bathe the dog so often? —D. P. C. Answer: Not only is there great danger of your dog catching cold, but it is harmful to his coat to be bathed so often. Have your son brush the pup once each day with a good stiff brush. That will keep him clean and be helpful to his coat. -V Grew. Hints Liberation Of Austria May Be Near Washington, March 10.—(^—Ac ting Secretary of State Grew hinted today that the beginning of the lib eration of Austria may be very near. He issued an appeal for the people of that Nazi-conquered country to join in the campaign for their own freedom. - The appeal was in a statement which Grew issued on the anni versary of the beginning of Hitler’s “conquest of Europe’’ with the invasion of Austria on March 11, 1938, Grew cited the big three de claration at Moscow in November 1943 in which Austria was told that she. had a responsibility to join in the fight against Hitler’s Germany and “that in the final settlement account will inevitably be taken of her own contribution to her liberation.” EASTER SERVICES!
