Dear Mister Whitney: NY hus-
band brought home a pair of bull
terrier puppies. They have all the
personality that we could ask for.
and when he is around they behave
like little gentlemen, but when he
leaves. and I am alone with them,
there are serious combatS. Though
they are only five months old they
will fight like demons. Can you tell
me how to stop them? Mrs. L. P.
Tenn.
Dear Mrs. P: Now to be truth
full. doubt that there is any way
to stop them fighting permanent
ly and still have them truly repre-
sentative Of their breed. The same
might be said of terriers of all
kinds. If they aren't good fighters.
then they aren't good terriers. For
all the time that these breeds have
been bred they have been selected
for just the kind of thing that some
people want them not TO do.
A male by itself is a wonderful
dog and an excellent companion.
but it is hard work to keep two of
them together. This is because they
both become jealous of human affec-
ton, and being bred for fighting,
they naturally turn to that, Just as
naturally. in fact, as a bird flies or
bee stings when disturbed.
Only by breaking the spirit of
one Of the dogs. by always taking
sides with the stronger, can you
stop it. And in the case of other
dogs which only fight over food try
feeding food with less of the smell
of meat about it and there will be
less fighting. wouldn't attempt to
feed raw meat from a single pan to
group Of dogs, either male or fe-
male.
Do you reason scientifically re-
garding your dog problems? Next I
am going to tell you why you should.

riment to Athletics in
Press Survey.
By United Press

81 HifG6 PTeSR
NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-T'he effect
of repeal on sports in 1884 was con-
sidered beneficial, according to a
nationwide poll conducted by the
United Press.
OF 302 sports editors voting, 129
said that legal drinking helped
sports; lie said it had no bearing on
athletics generally, and % others
found it a detriment. Thirty-f1ve
were undecided.
1t was interesting to note that
during the year following repeal ap-
proximately 1913 100000 gallons of
liquor were consumed at a cost of
2,530,000,000.
AS a result, according to the vote
of 228, there was more drinking at
sporting events. Only 16 said there
was less.
Those who voted repeal beneficial
to sports pointed out that:
Increased drinking stimulated in
terest.
Betting increased on sports events
10-fold.
Drinking made sports events more
Of social event.
Increased prosperity in the liquor
industry enabled more persons to
attend sporting events.
Drinking added to enthusiasm of
crowds, and made converts of new
corners.
Those editors who saw no effect
as result of repeal pointed out
that there always had been drink
ing at sporting events, and if there
was any increase in attendance it
was not because of repeal.
Those who viewed repeal as detri-
mental dwelled particularly on in
creased rowdyism.

The Cooks Goldblumes posted
their second 300 total of the week
last night in the Fountain Square
Recreation, reaching 1888 on games
of 998, 1855 and 1105. Falls City
Hi-Brus also we're in good form,
connecting for a 2970 with the aid
of a 1854 game, while the Coca
Colas, with a 1904 and 1899, totaled
1857.
Frank BUD Argus, who had the
leading individual total of the city
during the evenings league SeS-
sions, needed a double in the tenth
frame of his nightcap game to put
him over the 700 mark, but after
getting his first strike he left the Al
up and wound up the evenings pas
timing at 695. Nine other indi-
viduals passed the 600 mark during
the evenings bowling, John Fehr
placing second with his 29th 500 to-
tai of the season, a 663, and Freddie
Schleimer with 651, placing third.
Others over the mark we're: Ed
Striebeck $50, Ed Stevenson Sal, Don

Fox GIG, Hank Shriver SIT and Tom
Quill COL. Pritchett's honor count
brought his seasons total up to "a,
keeping him we'll ahead of kegelers
who have been plastering the naples
for 900 totals.
The Goldblumes, with their ire
mendous scoring, had no trouble in
taking three games from the Weber
Milks. Falls City Hi-Brus, led by
Argus and his leading total,
swamped the DIX Gasoline team
three times. Coca-Colas grabbed a
trio from the Polar Ice and Fuel,

 TEXTILE THREAT
That Boards Holds the Key in Challenge of 6OO,=
 900 LabOrerS

Washington, Aug 25-UP)- The national labor relations board. hard hitting tribunal of industrial disputes, today held the key to the question of whether 600,000 work men will drop work at the looms of the textile mills. The board which has established a record for quick action in the few weeks of it's operation was designated by Francis J. German, chief spokes- man of the United Textile Workers, as theonly agency which can pre- vent a strike. With the board in- dicating nothing of what action II might take, strike plans were pushed with vigor. The union plars q walkout shortly before Septem- Der 1, unless an acceptable answer to demands, is received.
 Union officers met today at Char lotte, N. C., Providence, R. l., and other large textile centers to per feet details of the strike.
 The groundwork for the strike which, if called. will be the largest the new deal has seen, is being laid like plans for great cam paign in war time. Regional head quarters are being established in all textile centers. Special commit tees will supervise the various spheres of strike activity. Cor man said his committeee was pre-. pairing to call the strike September 1 "or earlier if necessary" The exact time willu not be announced until the last minute in order to give the strikers 8 tactical advan- tage

 Eight coast guard cutters and numerous picket boats swept the seas off the Jersey coast in quest of suspicious craft on which the holdup men may have made their getaway. They were especially alcr. for q gambling ship, which Sam Davis, . prisoner at White Plains who is wanted in Detroit on d murder charge, said was being operated by remnants of the notor- ious Detroit Purple Gang" New York police investigated Davis story although Police Inspector William Collins of Detroit characterized it as obviously fantastic" Collins said "all members of the original Purple Gang have either gbeen jailed or disposed of"
