"To reach this degree of perfection says the trainsr, "one must take the greatest care to avoid even the ap- Eearance of brutality toward the pupil; the dog must never be frighten- ed whifa he is learning his duties. The ambulance dog must seek. rather than trail. the wounded men and the regulations governing their use have been found to be deficient as thei. de- velopment has proceeded. The rules prescribe for instance, that the dog must be taught to bring back the cap of the wounded man he has found. Wounded men, however, in a great many instances no longer have a cap when they are discovered; they may have helmet with the iuglar under the chin so that the dog cannot get it eff. The intelligent dog. fo. tunate- ly. when he has finished the training period understands what is wanted Of fim and that the bringing in of cap is only a detail; in ths absence Of the regulation cap he seeks anything else belonging to the man he has found.
 "The most approved method or training now is summed up in the words, Fetch. F.teh and seek wound ed. Seek wounded and fetch.' At the end of three months of training Il th, order the dog understands j. lat ne is 70 look for ana that h. is to make his master understand that he aas found someone, whether it be by an object brought back in his mouth 1r by any other manifestation that his intelligence suggests.

 Another mistake in the regulations was the requirement that the adog be trained to return to his master in a straight line. The good searcher ope. ates in zig gag course and it is natural for him to g5t back by the same route."

DOGS PLAYING BIG
 PART IN GREAT WAX
Serve as Sentinels, Rear Dispatches, Seek Wounded and Do Patrol
 Duty.

Paris, April 22.-(Correspondence Of The Associated Press )-Hunting dogs make poor war dogs, according to one Of the specialists who have been training these animals at the front. Another development of the experi- ence of year and half is that the female is superior to the male.
 The French dogs are now divided into five classes: 1, dog sentinels: g. patrol dogs; 3, dispatch bearers; 4, ambulance dogs; ), draught dogs.
 For all but the draught dogs French breeds are now preferred. They are most recruited from the region of the Beauce, good rustic shepherds that know all the secrets of the ground, and mountain dogs from the Pyrenees, used to roughjng it over difficult country. These breeds are about the only ones that continue eff ctive through all the transformations that the first line of defense undergoes. To get the most out of them it is neces- .Sary to SD: cialize them, the all round war dog existing only in the imagi- nation.
 Stories have been told of dogs tn l have been taught to growl signals into a telephone and to ring bells on the approach of a cloud of suffo- eating gas. What the dog has really learned to do is sufficient without at trbuting to him fantastic attainments.
 Ignore Shells and Appeals.
 Dogs have carried messages be- tween post three miles apart arriving infallibly at their destinations and returning to the point of departure, fearless of shells and deaf to any appeals made to them en route. Not even the frequent upheavel of .n: ground over which they have once passed and the confuslons of trails can put them off their course.

DIFFERENCE IN LUNG POWER
Woman's Voice Requires Far Less
Force Than That That Must BE
Expended by a Man.

According to a scientific theory q
woman can talk longer than a man and
may do 80 because she uses less force
by large percentage than a man
does. German professor has proved
by actual and very delicate measure
ments that the baritone singer uses
far more energy than either tenor or
soprano
This professor declared that the
range of voice differs greatly, SO the
percentage varies to the same extent,
but as general result II was proved
that tenor uses only from one sew
enth to one-sixteenth of the lung
power of the baritone or bass The
difference in the force used by the con-
tralto and soprano is very marked. and
the contralto who sings in very deep
tones uses at least ten times the force
of the soprano
The explanation is so simple that
1t Is surprising that IL was not thought
of long ago II has long been known
that the tenor or soprano brings the
vocal cords together and keeps the
edges vibrating only by the emission
of air The bass or contraito leaves
the space between the chords wider
open, and has to vibrate much more

indians Keen Barpainers.

Most people consider the American
aborigines to have been easy victims
of the sharper-witted whites in mat
tiers of buying and selling. A book
about THE Original John Jacob As
tor" however. declares that the In
dian was great bargainer," and says
that Aston needed all his resources to
get the better of the Indians in an
exchange of commodities. He is said
to have been the first fur dealer to
become really proficient in the Ian
guages of the Mohawk, Seneca and
Oneida tribes, and this ability to talk
TO the Indians in their own tongue
gave him great prestige among them.
