A most useful command IS "Watch," which is intended to teach the dog to stay by a certain article left in his care till It's owner returns.
 TO begin, take some article be- longing to the owner such as ms coat. hat or shoes. Tie the dog to A. peg or other object so that stranger can be used in the in- rtruction. Place him with the ar- ticIe command Watch" pat him on the head and walk away a short distance within his sight. Then let a stranger come to the dog and move to take away the article.
 The dog barks, the owner re- turns at once and, in play. pushes away the stranger. The perform ance Is repeated with the owner go- ing farther and farther each time, but returning each time the dog barks.
 A child Is now left In the dogs care and the stranger approaches. Here the dog learns one of the greatest services he can render to his master--auarding a child even at the cost of his life. All dogs, large or small, should be trained to bark and fight when a stranger aDproaches or attempts to take away the object guarded.
 Causes of failure to secure obe- dience from q dog after weeks of training may be put down as two. The act has not been repeated enough times, or 1t has been re- peated too many times on the same day.
 Do not shout at your dog. When you shout q command in troubled or uncontrolled voice, your voice is one of punishment and the dos fears that he is to be punished.
 Never punish a dog unless he knows what he Is being punished for. He only knows that when cer- tain soundk are spoken in a certain

WOMEN OPPOSE
JURY SERVICE

SILVER SPRING, Md, Feo. 16.
The bill introduced into the
Maryland general assembly by
Marvin harrington, Of Chevy
Chase, delegate from Montgom-
cry county, providing mandatory
jury service by women in Mary
land, is apt to have rough sled
ding, it was learned yesterday.
When the Women'S Democratic
Club of Montgomery county, at
its meeting at Manor Club last
week, went on record as opposed
to the mandatory provision of the
bill. attention was so focused
upon that feature that conSid-
cradle opposition is being worked
up against the measure, it was
learned. This group of county
women is willing to see the bill
become law if the jury service
is made optional on the part of
women.
The bill as it stands has been
indorSed by several civic bodies
and womens organizations in the
county.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 G.N.S).
A new problem today faced diplo-
matte and Coast Guard officials
as II men from the crew of the
Canadian ship Algie were held
here.
The men chose the chance of
arrest rather than death when
their ship sprang a leak and
foundered in Long Island Sound.
Coast Guards rescued the crew
after they sounded an SOS but
shortly after arrested the men
when they claimed $500 cases of
liquor was found on the ship.
The liquor was estimated to be
worth $75,0G0.
The Canadians demanded their
release as survivors of wrecked
vessel. The captain of the
boat claimed he was bound for
Bermuda and steamed toward
New York only when the ship
started to leak,

Daniels Approves Action
Dropping Butler Trial

there is almost as much fear Of
what he will do as Italians felt
about Napoleon Bonaparte when
that mighty warrior made EN-
pires quake and emperors and
kings tremble.
The question whether the Benito
Musolinsi sort of government is a
blessing or a menace was &C
centuated and emphasized by the
order for the court-martial Of
Gen. Smedley Butler, distinguished
major general of the Marine
Corps.
To show why he regarded the
italian enemy of parliamentary
government as a menace to peace,
General Butler repeated a story
he had heard that Mussolini, rid
ing with an American and driving
his own car, ran over and killed
a child. In a word. he was called
a hit-and-run driver. The address
seemed not to have caused much
interest. Few Americans heard of
it until the Italian Ambassador
made it an international incident
Incident Into Issue
Secretary Stimson sent an apol-
ogy to MuSsolini. That was re-
ceived in Rome and the press
published that the italian govern
ment regarded the matter as
closed. Then came the order for
the court-martial of General But
Ter by the Navy Department. Moth
ing has happened ir. years that
created so much interest. The
Secretary of the Navy evidently
believed, if he acted without
White House direction, it was his
duty to act in his official ca
pacity, not regarding the Secre'
tary of States apology as closing
the matter. Right or wrong,
many believe he thereby raised an
incident into an issue. Certainly.
even if it was graver than an in.
cident, there is difference of opin
ion as to whether an officer with
a distinguished and honorable
record, who spoke unwisely, should
have been ordered court-martialed.
The better way was to have been
reprimand, if the Secretary of
States action was not sufficient

FARM
Z. BOARD IN
+. SHAKE-UP
President Faces Task Of
Finding Successors to Legge
and Three Other Members
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

President Hoover faces the diff
ficult task of almost completely
reorganizing his Federal Farm
Board during the next few
months.
Alexander H. Legge. the plain
talking chairman, around whose
head has swirled much of the
controversy that has attended the
boards policies, is retiring after
March 4, to return to his 100000,
a-year job as head of the Inter
national Harvester Company.
Retiring in June
Samuel r. McKelvie of Ne.
braska, wheat member of the
board, who has shared with Legge
the criticism of the boards acti
vities in wheat. will retire in
June.
The terms of two other com
misSioners, C. c. league, Of
California. and William F. Schil-
ling, of Minnesota, also expire in
June. They have not announced
whether they will accept reap
pointment.
MY Name Kentuckian
The impression obtains in
Washington that President Hoover
win name James C. Stone, Of
Kentucky, to succeed Legge in
the chairmanship. Stone is now
vice chairman.
He represents the tobacco
growers on the board and is con-
sidered one of the foremost au.
thorities in the country on CO.
operative methods of growing
and marketing.
The necessity for virtually re
making the board has aroused
considerable speculation here as
to it's entire future. Before ad
journment on March 4, Congress
is expected to vote the board an
additional 100000, which rep
resents the last of the $500, ,00O,
900 originally authorized for Mr.
Hoover's plan of farm relief.
1t is unlikely that Congress
will vote the money without at
the same time indulging in some
frank criticism of what the board
has accomplished with the other
$4OO, 100000.
Almost from it's inception, the
board has been the center of hot
controversy over it's wheat and
cotton policies. Prices for these
commodities are the lowest in a
quarter of a century, which has
led agriculturists to denounce the
whole far-flung plan as a failure
To this criticism, Chairman
Legge has replied that even
though prices are the lowest in Il
years, the American farmer is still
getting from 20 to Is cents above
the world price.

The action OF dismissal OF the
court martial ordered for Gen.
Smedley Butler as result of his
speech about Premier MuSSolini,
of Italy, Is approved By JoSephuS
Daniels, Secretary of the Many
under the Wilson Administration.
The manner in tDhich the repri-
mdnd UdS administered By Secre-
tury Adams is criticised by the
former Secretary. Mr.. Daniels
opinion about the incident, as pub
HShed in the Raleigh NetOS and
Observer yesterday tollotOS:
The country did not approve
the order for the court-martial Of
Gen. Smedley Butler, though they
disapproved what he now calls his
"indiscreet" remark. There was,
therefore, wide and general ap-
proval when the Secretary of the
Navy accepted Buffers letter of
explanation and confession of in
discretion and replaced it with a
reprimand. Even then, the aver
age citizen thought Secretary
Adams would have been wiser if
he had contented himself with the
simple reprimand and refrained
from his harsh lecture as to a
schoolboy in saying the Navy De.
partment expects that this Incl,
dent will have q salutary effect
upon your future conduct in mat
terS of this character"
A Happy Ending
Happily, to the satisfaction of
everybody, including the Italians,
who did not relish world discus
sion of the charge against their
Fascist autocrat, the affair is
brought to a close. And honors
are even. The explanation and
reprimand ends what promised to
be a trial of sensation which
could have resulted in no good.
1t might have done lasting harm
to the Hoover Administration as
we'll as to international relations
and to General Butler.
