Dogs Sixth Sense
By BASIL ToZER

A FRIEND Of mine who lives
"A in third-floor apartment
overlooking a road has a terrier
whose conduct tends to the belief
that dogs possess some sixth sense
of which we know nothing.
The windows Of his apartment
are much too high above the floor
for any dog to be able to see out
Of them. All day long a stream
Of motor and horse-drawn traffic
passes along the road below the
windows, and the dog pays not the
slightest attention. But now and
again a horse and cart goes by
which, though apparently he can
only hear it, stirs him into a par
oxysm Of fury which lasts until the
cart is once more out Of hearing.
There may be some reason for
his fury which we know nothing
about, but how does the dog know,
even when the windows are shut,
that that particular cart is pass
ing? For invariably it Is the same
horse and cart which has this ef-
feet upon him.
The same problem arises in the
case of a dog Of my own which
lives in the front rooms of my
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-06

house. At the back there is a
garden which cannot be seen from
the front; yet the moment a car
or a dog comes into the garden
my dog, in the front rooms, knows
that the strange cat or dog is there
for he sets up a loud, angry bark
ing which continues until he is let
out, when he rushes into the gar
den to drive away the intruder.
Another friend of mine owns a
bull dog. If anybody whom the dog
does not know pushes a latchkey
into the lock o fthe front door at
any time of the day or night the
dogs back instantly bristles and he
prepares for attack with threaten
ing growls. But if his master or
anybody whom the dog does know
pushes in the latchkey the animals
attitude is entirely different. Yet
obviously the dog cannot tell by
the sound of the key being pushed
into the lock whether the person
outside is a stranger or a friend.
It would be interesting il some
body could throw light on this
mystery or advance some plausible
theory to account for the singular
power.

Keep Your Feet Strong
By ALICE MARTIN

should be begun in the morning.
Most people take cold shower baths
upon rising, rub their bodies Wig
orOusly for a few moments, and then
dress. In a way, while they are
nurtUring their skins, they are neg
lecting their feet. If they will take
luke-warn foot bath early in the
morning, and then take your cold
shower later. the results will be
gratifying. The warm water. cleanses
the skin thoroughly and soothes the
tendOns Of the toe, while the shower
acts as an astringent.
While you are dressing, manage
TO spare a few moments for exercise.
This exercise, however. is not very
formal or strenuous. Merely stand
on your heels, your legs six inches
apart, and wiggle your toes. DO
this with the right and left foot,
alternately, for about five minutes.
If you do this conscientiously, you
will feel the blood circulating rap
idly through your toes. After this
morning fOOt-treatment you will find
that you feel exhilarated and strong
enough TO walk miles.
The position Of your feet, as you
walk, is Of vital importance. 4
decade ago it was quite "the thing
% turn the toes out and away from
side 70 side. This position is now
recognized by health experts to be
detrimental 70 the body, and has
been superseded by the Indian walk.
This gait is one whereby your feet
form right angles TO the bottom Of
your leg. They are neither turned
in nor out-Wbich is an advantage,
since IL does not impart a grotesque
appearance TO your movements.
II you take daily foot-baths-in
the morning and again at light
you will keep the skin soft and flex-
lble so that your shoes fit snugly
and give only when you walk: II
you remember, every once in a while,
TO take the exercises outlined above,
and if you keep your toes pointed for
ward when you are walking. your
feet viii be healthy, graceful and
strong. And these are essential as
sets 70 the modern woman.

amt no place you can have fun, like

Well, you know how it is, the
nearer we come to home the more
excited we got, and whenever we
seen a mile post, why, we would all
yell oh Jockey, only seventy five
miles more and we'll be home, or
whatever the miles was.
Well, finally after a while we ac-
tually come in sight Of Dinglewood,
and there was the dear old post
office & picture theater and every
thing just the same as if we hadn't
been away two whole weeks. And
then we slid into Maple Ave. around
the corner through Elk Street, and
into Minnow Street, and there, &C.
tuaIly, was our house.
Well, says Geo. as we stopped in
front Of it. III say It may not be a

good to me. And I says oh George,
it is a darling, you just know it's

it's our own lovely peaceful little

ways to find anything cutter! And
Junior says oh Ma I wanner get in
my toy-bo1, gee, I pretty near for

crazy to see my stuff again! And
then we all piled out the car and
walked up to the front porch.
SUCH A MESS!
But could we get in? And how?
The whole entire porch looked about
like a rags, paper & bottles con-

through it, and at once I got tine

while there amt any ice here right
now, if a person is to judge by the
dampness, either there had been a
lot of rains lately, or the Meltfast
Ice Co. has favoured US with a Sc
lection every day we been away!
Well, we cut a path through the
rough wilderness Of our front stoop
and got to the door, and there, when
we opened it, Of all things If the hall
