DIR. FOWLER IN ROLE OF JUDGE
PUTS KING SOLOMON TO SHAME
Whereas Biblical Wise Man Decided Percentage of
Infant, d. G.. Health Officer Chose Between
Claimants of German Police Dog.

District Health Officer William c.
Fowler was Unexpectedly called upon
today to enact a role similar to the
one that made King solomon famous
in his day.
The wise old King very discreetly
and without the aid Of psychological
methods and modern blood tests de
clded to his satisfaction the mother
Of a much-disput"d infant. But DIR.
Fowler was confronted with an even
more difficult task. He had to- use
his wisdom in determining the master
OF fine, well bred German police dog.
And furthermore. the dog had four
persons claiming him, while the babe
in the King solomon case had only
two women tcstifying TO his parental
lineage.
The dog strayed aimlessly from it's
owner and trailed some good citizen
home one recent afternoon. Walter
K. Smith, District poundmaSter, was
notified and took the homeless canine
to the pound.
The poundmaster was convinced the
homeless animal had a fine breeding
and should not. If there was any way

choloform chamber. All owners of

them in the last few days We're urged
