SIC I'M, WALTER
THAT'S THE WAY TO TALK TO THIS WATCHDOG GANDER
BY CAROLYN VANCE BELL

WASHINGTON, Auril i.--All the shin
ing lights Of Ancient History classes
win remember the cackling geese who
saved Rome.
Well. the great grandson, about i've
million times removed. OF one of these
geeese has been discovered In the cap
ltal.
His name Is Walter and he performs
Me duties Of a watchdog fer Mrs.
Helen Dunsworth Of Washington.
Anybody who tries TO enter my
house from the rear is taking one ter
cible chance" she said, walter IS LA
Bile to chew EN- an up"
Walter leads somewhat Of a Jekyl
and Hyde existence. While at night he
IS a ferocious Watchdog during the day
time he is a loving little pet-for Mrs.
Dunsworth.
Hes such a dear" she said, she rs
three years old and / have raised him
by hand. He is living now with the
chickens In the back yard. He is very
ohedient =gentle-wlh me-"
From that you may well judge that
Walter Is not a SILLY goose" at all and
has a keen idea on which side his
bread Is buiiered.
The instincts Of the geese who lived
outside the gates of Rome and cackled
whenever an enemy approached giving
the Romans time to fly 20 arms IS
strons within Walter. He can bite Just
like bulldog
