The President Harding took office on March 1 last one of his first official acts was to nominate, confirm and place in office forthwith an ebony hucd messenger of the White House staff. one Wilson X. Jackson. as Mas trr .oI the Houuds.' Jackson was then given full charge with authority ra train and care for the new prnst dents prize AirodaIo pup "Laddi" Boy"
 Jackson. despite his stature of near lv five feet. has long head and he Immediately grasprd the possibilities of the situation In looking over his charge he solcmnly decided that a proper diet was absolutely necessary for Laddic Boy if the pup" was to grow up to be credit to the boss and himself.
 Armed with his new authority he boldly invaded the White House kitchen and regarded the possibilities of the new cook As result of this inspection the new Ma ster of the Hounds proudly announced several days later that the particular dish which Laddie Boy craved as matter of necessity was hot waffles."
 Later a white bird pup was added to the White House kennels and chris tened "Oh Boy" As there was some doubt as to how the two dogs would get along Oh Boy was given a proba- tionary period at the White House garage before becoming a member of Jackson's entourage. Recently, bow ever. he was brought over to the White House and his training entrust- ed to Jackson. Jackson studied the dietary needs of his new charge as carefully as he had with Laddie Boy.
 What does Oh Boy crave to eat most?" he was asked recently by one who remembered Laddie Boys pen chant for waffles.
 He don't care nothin' for walfles, replied that individual, but he added solemnly: He certainly has got a large appetite for watermelon"
