Mg!*.' <, hf iisFiiiiii Jlliiil? - ** V- Everyone who has read Homer remembers how Ulysses’ old hound Argus recognized Ulysses beneath his disguise when he re turned to his native Ithaca after 20 years absence. Your own dog could pick out your garments from a whole pile of miscellaneous clothing. Ever wonder what it is about you that gives you such individuality to your faithful friend? Your voice, of course. And how you look. But it’s also your *• scent, most specifically that given off by your sweat glands, particularly in your hands and feet. And your dog’s nose is marvelously adapted to picking up that scent So says Dr. James E. Corbin, director of the Purina Pet Care Center. A man’s own sense of smell lies in what we might call olfactory folds in the upper part of his nasal passages. Man, like a cat, Seagram’s ' ■ f L ACrourn “““ •"'“““'■U o *** on OHO twot« mo 11* mm until mi . —.— ■■— ' ■"'■ ■■ "■» r1 11 I _ I il H tf»T* I* i^Ti WjthpurchmrtMJCWJA ■ YOUR DOG’S KEEN NOSE has a short nose and, therefore, has only three or four of these folds. An ant-eater, on the other hand, has a tremendously long nose and ten such folds—and a corresponding acute sense of smell. A dog also has a long nose and thus his sense of smell is far keener than yours. It’s as if you had a nasal structure about a foot long. But let’s get back to you and your scent. How would a dog track you, for example, if you were lost? Man’s track consists of tiny scented particles left by his clothing rubbing against high grass and shrubs, by his leather shoes crushing plants when he walks, by his hands touch ing objects. How does this work? A man loses about two pounds every 24 hours through sweat, chiefly from the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet. Sweat is almost 99 per THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, IMS. cent water but there is a very distinctive mark car ried by the fatty acids and other metabolic products from the body in the re mainder. After a while, your clothing becomes im pregnated with your char acteristic scent which your own nose may not even be able to detect. Leather shoes, for example, become subtly permeated by perspiration and a tiny, tiny quantity of the scent will be squeezed out on the ground at each step. It is the hand that leaves the most lasting and hear tiest scent. And consider ing how many things we must touch in the course of a journey, it would be hard for a man to escape from a dog that had been trained in the art of track ing. Similarly, experts re searching the most appe tizing pet foods have found that the dog’s keen sense of smell calls for a subtle blending of aroma. The 500 dogs at the Purina Pet Care Center include a 100- dog taste panel that does daily “taste-testing” to find the foods they like best. The result' says Dr. Cor bin, is that not only do to day’s dogs get a better bal anced diet than many peo ple, but their sense of smel), is pampered as well. Taylor Theatre EDENTON. N. C.

T Youthful Driver Will Receive Special Attention RALEIGH—The youthful driver, and especially his affinity for speed, will re ceive very special attention from the State Highway Patrol in the future. Coming off one at the worst weekend death tolls in recent months, the Pa trol called its top field commanders to Raleigh Tuesday to tell them to stop the young highway speeders. “We know,” said Lt. Col. Edwin Guy, Patrol execu tive officer, “that all young people are not violating the traffic laws. In fact we believe most young people who drive do obey the traffic laws. “Facts are facts, and when there are 23 persons killed over one weekend in North Carolina and 12 of , these are in the age range . of 22-year-old and less we must take positive action.” i The troop commanders from the Patrol’s six troops , were instructed to initiate programs at the local level aimed at the youthful driver. “Regardless of whether they want our help,” Lt. Col. Guy said, “we are go ing to help them stay alive. Our job is not to be popu lar. Our job is to save lives on the highways.” Thq Patrol officer point ed out that 736 persons in the “young person” cate gory were killed on Tar Heel highways during 1967 out of a total of 1,744 fa talities. “We experienced reduc tions in both December and January in highway deaths,” Guy said. “How ever, we have exceeded the death count of the previ- Tips Tell How To Modernize Is a bathroom remodeling project on the agenda? Here are some tips. 1. In addition to the con ventional three fixtures oi tub, lavatory and water closet, more and more bathrooms are including bidets. This per sonal hygiene device, pro nounced "bee-day,” is in stalled next to the water closet. For more information, write Plumbing Fixture Manufac turers Association, 1145 19th Street, N. W., Washington, D.C. 20036 and ask for free bidet flyer. 2. Top-quality bathroom fix tures are stain- and acid-re sistant, easier to keep clean, maintain luster longer. For information on how to recog nize quality, the Plumbing Fixture Manufacturers Asso ciation (address above) has a free flyer entitled, "What You Should Know about Plumbing Fixtures for Your Home.” 3. Don’t have space for a bathroom? Investigate the possibilities of a compact pow der room. Most older homes have such space in a closet, under a stairwell or at the end of a hall. A powder room can be in stalled in a space as little al four-by-five feet, says the Plumbing - Heating - Cooling Information Bureau.

Charles Speed and Major John Laws, who heads the enforcement di vision, called on the field commanders to continue their campaigns against the wilful violators the speeders, the drinking driver and the reckless driver. Major Law noted that arrests with the Patrol’s new speed-timing device, VASCAR, had risen stead ily over the three months it has been utilized for ar rest purposes. Drunk driv ing arrests are also up. He said arrests for speed ing with VASCAR in De cember, the first month it was used, totaled 414; Jan uary, 908; and the first two weeks of February, 709. Driving under the in fluence arrests in January total 926, an increase of 41 over the same period a year ago.
