Nose Printing Adopted
To Assist Dog Owners

Rose, who is occupied in dog breed
ing, decided that in the future. when
litter of pups arrived, each would be
nose-printed, and the photograph Of
the nose dots would be placed in =
corner of the pedigree card. Thus
the following result will be establish
ed in case a dispute regarding the
dogs antecedents or ownership
arises in some future time:
The dogs owner will simply show
his pedigree card with the nose mark
as proof of ownership. The dog will
be called into court and a print of
his nose taken. If the animal in ques-
ton matches the nose print, the dis
pute is solved without further delay.
One handicap faces the present sys-
TEN. The prints cannot be classified
as human finger print can. There
are no whorls. or loops. or arches or
deltas to allow classification as in the
hngerpEint alphabet. When a stray
blooded dog is picked up, it cannot be
identified Immediately.
The classification OF nose prints
may be worked out in the future"
Mr.. Sandberg declared. however. We
may be able TO discover some means
of segregatipg and classifying the
dots. We are working on that now
and may have something to announce
before very long"

As Joe tells it, he nursed the gar

spending the long summer evenings
there with his hoe and rake. Mean
while, Joe had been telling the

he did post plain white cloth atop
