ST PAUL, MINM DOG “SAVES FOR A RAINY DAY” A dog which needs the advice often given to human beings, “to save for a rainy day,” is Jigger, a Doberman pinscher owned by Roy Boswell who lives near Green wich, Conn. Four years ago Bos well instituted the practice of go ing away for the summer months and leaving the dog in the care of a neighbor during his absence Boswell paid his neighbor a cer tain sum of money each week as board for the dog. Last year and again this June, as preparatory packing and other signs indicated that Boswell was getting ready to leave for the sum mer, the dog was noticed hoarding behind the garage unpicked bones and all scraps of food he could lay his jaws on. The day before he was to leave this year, Boswell became suspicious of the reason for his dog’s strange actions. A talk with other neighbors con firmed Boswell’s suspicions. The man he had been leaving his dog with didn't feed his pet properly while he was away. He had neg lected the dog and appropriated for his own use the money given him for the dog's care. This sum mer the dog is in a boarding ken nel and has no use for his hoarded food. i I “Saves For Rainy Day” INSURANCE COMPANIES MUST PAY I may be starting a torrent of law suits against insurance com panies, bur I think the following is of interest to all dog owners. A close friend of mine owned a val uable English Setter which was run over and killed by an auto mobile. The dog’s owner, after ascertaining that the owner of the auto carried property damage in surance, entered suit against the insurance company for what was considered a fair value of the dog. The company settled this case ■ I out of court. Had it reached the halls of justice undoubtedly the dog’s owner would have received a verdict in his favor because time and time again the courts have decided that a dog is prop erty. If your dog is killed by an auto the chances are, if the own er carries insurance, that you can collect a sum equal to the value of your pet. * * * SOCALLED 100 PER CENT DIET There are many excellent diets prescribed for dogs by dog food mahufacturers. A dog will thrive on many different combinations of foods. If your dog is getting along nicely on what you are feeding him now, don't experiment, though it is a good idea to vary its diet occasionally. A dog, like our selves, gets mighty tired of the same food day in and day out. I have what I call my 100 per cent diet for dogs. It consists ol the following: 50 per cent of meat or meat substitutes—(cooked or raw meat, milk, raw eggs, or boned fish); 25 per cent cereals— shredded wheat, dried bread, dog biscuits, dry dog meal, etc.); 25 per cent vegetables—cooked to matoes, beets, cabbage, beans, spinach, etc.). These proportions I have found comprise an entirely satisfactory general diet for any dog. WWW “DIE LIKE A DOG” How did the expression “die like a dog” originate? After a little research I think I have learned the answer. Less than a century ago it was the custom in Great Britain and in Europe to put dogs to death by hanging. From this cruel almost universal practice aroset he much-used expression. + * * FORMULA FOR DIP Been asked to repeat formula for dog dip. Here is it: Dissolve three* pounds of sulphur ana one pound of green soap in a gallon of boiling water. After the mixture has been thoroughly dissolved, add two quarts of kerosene. Then place it in a wooden barrel and add thirty gallons of water. This dip may be used frequently to kill such external parasites as fleas, lice, or ticks. I have also found it beneficial in curing some of the common canine skin ail ments prevalent in hot weather. If kept covered, this mixture may be used time and time again, al though at times you may have to add a quart or so of water to take care of a slight evaporation. * * * THE QUESTION BOX Question: Have a new Labrador, whose tail has been operated on can not be shown in regular dog shows?—E. S. Answer: A dog whose tail has been operated upon in any way except dock ing shortly after birth) is not eligible for entrance in dog shows in this country. Question: Have a new L(abrador. Can you recommend a good book for me to buy that deals with this breed?—T. P. H. Answer: “The Labrador Re triever,” by StewartSmith , is a good book on this breed.

WAVES HELP KEEP FLEET IN BATTLE WASHINGTON, July 21.—(*_ Waves are doing a large share o£ keeping the fleet geared to defeat Japan, the navy said today. As its women’s reserve unit pre pares to elebrate its third anni versary July 30, some officers of the regular navy even express a hope—guardedly—taht a small nu cleus of their feminine contingent will be retained in peacetime. For example, some say, the work done by Wave medical specialists means that hospitalized naval per sonnel ashore get trained care while the navy can sent its best male medical corpsmen to sea with the ships. The almost 86,000 members of the waves have been utilized to help meet expansion requirements of the war. Hundreds of the navy womena re perfomring highly spe cialized tasks previously reserved for men. Some naval shore establishemnls freely admit they could not have accomplished necessary wartime expansion without the waves. Oout at the naval research lab oratories in nearby Virginia, in the Photo Science Laboratory and in the Bureau of Ships scores of wav are working on scientific experi ments, engineering and procure ment problems, electronics and munitions—much of it very secret stuff. One whose highly important work can be told is Lt. (jg) Dorothy M. Molnar of Dunnellson, Fla., who heads a laboratory group scienti fically seeking antidotes for tropi cal deterioration of war material. In naval aviation, thousands of waves help train navy pilots, na vigators, gunners. About 80 wave officers are qualified to be navi gators in naval planes, which the navy, says is unique in the mili tary service history of women. Waves are trained and assigned to almost every type of naval avia tion shore job, from parachute rig ging to radio-rada administration. After three years the navy seems willing to say it couldn’t get along without its women’s reserve, in wartime at least. — In both civilian and army circles, strange things happen due to typo graphical errors, but an incident that happened at Camp Davis last week baffled the Personnel Divi sion completely. A soldier based at this post was being discharged for physical rea sons. As is the policy, the reason for this discharge must be enter ed on several forms. This was done, but somewhere along the line someone struck the wrong key on their typewriter. The finish ed form read, “Discharged under 6615-361, Section 3’’This figure was checgked by CWO Frye, a person nel officer, who discovered that the enlisted man had been discharged for “pregnancy.” The report should have read “615-361, Section 1.” HOT '"he Infantry song, “Roger Young” has a line in it that goei . . .“They’ve no time for glory ir the Infantry” . . . and this storj seems to verify that very nicely. For months, members of the 66th Infantry division, held the Jerries penned up in the ports of St. Naz aire and Lorient. When the war formally ended, the “foot soldiers” marched in only to find that one of the ports had already surrender ed to an Air Force Public Rela tions Officer and a civilian cor respondent who had flown in only a few hours before.

TRAVELERS AID HERE SERVED US PEOPLE DAILY DVR1HC 1944 Helping distraught travelers who encounter trouble while journeying in a business which has shown a mushroom growth during the re cent war years, Mrs. Helen Gallo way, executive secretary of the Wilmington Travelers Aid Society, said yesterday. “When large groups of people travel, trouble travels too," Mr*. Galloway reports, and during the year 1944 the Travelers Aid Society here served more than 175 persona per day who were strangers ia Wilmington and in need of help. The Wilmington Travelers Aid Society is a link in the chain of na tional operations coordinated un der the National Travelers Aid As sociation. To illustrate the gnevrlt of the country-wide services of tne Travelers Aid Societies and th« USO Travelers Aid units, Mrs. Uhl laway stated that while in 1941 per sons in difficulty way from home turned to Travelers Aid 861,COO times, in 1944 the Travelers Aid lent help to approximately 37,000,- k 00( persons “on the move.” The Trevelera Aid Society is a refuge for “stranded travelers, homesick doughboys, runaway adolescents, mentally or emotional ly disturbed persons, veterans ol World Wad II, civilians and servica men and women hunting for living s quarters and children traveling alone,” Mrs. Galloway explained. ) -V ] The best way to clean silver is ] with a sponge which is dipped into , sdver polish and rubbed quickly - over the stained silverware to r« I ""V" tarnish in a jif'y.
