All Dogs Should Have
Special Care i'm Summer
To the Editor Of The Star:


Many persons who have pet dogs
do not know how to take care of them
in hot weather. Every Summer there
are many poor animals killed as mad
which are only suffering from the
heat, due to Indifferent care.
In hot weather dogs that are al
lowed to run at large or are COM
PEELED to stay out in the heat will
often have running f1ts or convul-
sions, sometimes foaming at the
mouth That Is not at all the sign OF
a mad dog. A mad dog with rabies
according to veterinarians, shows a
Stringy gray substance around his
jaws and runs ahead in a straight
line and will not turn out of his way.
Dogs with convulsions are usually III
from the heat. When q dog is found
in such a state the procedure rec
commended by authorities is to get him
into a cool, dark room or cellar,
throwing a blanket around him, II
necessary, to avoid bites, and leave
him there with a pan of cool water.
If he does not recover In a reasonable
time, then call a veterinarian or the
humane society.
All pet dogs hould have special care
in Summer, particularly in such a
climate as we have in Washington.
In hot weather they should be turned
out only early in the morning and
late at night. A cellar or basement
Is the best place for them during the
heat OF the day, and one should never
forget that they need drinking water
more than ever In hot weather. One
feeding a day is enough and 1T should
contain green vegetables and milk as
well as meat. Buttermilk, too, will
help to keep a dog in good condition
during the Summer. He should have
no starches or sweets, which are apt
to cause fits. If dog is properly fed.
kept clean and has proper place to
sleep and stay during the heat of the
day he will cause no trouble.
One other thing that many persons
forget Is that their pets do not have
shoes to protect them from the hot
pavements and streets. Many times
have seen dog owners walking Down
town, with the temperature In the eos
and waves OF heat rising from the
streets, with small dogs on leads
obviously suffering from the contact
with the hot pavements

Public Opinion Credited With
Crushing the General Strike

derry government IN America by con-
demning the unionistS who took part
IN the sympathetic strike and by
commencing those who have gone
back to work. as most Of them have.
Those sympathetic strikers of San
Francisco blundered into grave error
and by no means all the blame can
be laid on the Communists"
The Richmond News Leader thinks
that, in the settlement, "the modera-
ton displayed is the kind which will
preserve American institutions" and
the Chattanooga Times concludes;
Throughout the country there must
be deep qualification, not only among
the public generally, but also among
the majority of the members OF or
ganized labor, that the San Francisco
strike is over. It win not have been

Few persons realize that in WASH
ington there II a system of tubes
in use connecting the buildings in the
Capitol group including the Library
Of Congress; also a vast network Of
tunnels carrying transmission lines
from the Capitol power plant to the
Government buildings. A tube under
Pennsylvania avenue connects the
Treasury Department with its annex,
and an appropriation has been au-
thorized for another to connect the
White House and the State, War and
Navy Building. A number of private
subterranean passages are scattered
throughout the city, including George
town, and one was accidentally dis
covered recently in excavation work
near the Octagon House used during

Many of the principal cities of the
world have subway systems, among
which are the following: Berlin, Bos-
ton, Budapest, Buenos Aires, Glasgow,
London, Moscow. New York, Paris and
Philadelphia. Algiers and Rio de
Janeiro have started to construct sub
ways. A large number of cities have
vehicular tunnels, and Chicago has an
extensive network of underground
freight lines. 1t is interesting to note
relative to the subway in Moscow that
the people at present are donating
their time in its construction. Pas
sengers in the subway in Berlin are
being entertained with vaudeville given
by unemployed artists, who buy a
ticket and after a performance pass

washington Is becoming the seat

population Of approximately 100000
In the metropolitan area of the Ma
tional Capital. The construction of
a subway system offers the best solu-
tion of the trafic problem here and
merits careful consideration.

An aroused public opinion Is cred
tied with ending the San Francisco
general strike before there was any
serious test Of strength between the
constituted authorities and the
strikers who sought To take over con-
troll of the city.
when the strike was called of, it
was only q record Of an accom-
plished fact says the New York
Times, while the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette records that the audacity Of
any non-governmental group, in at
tempting to tell the people of large
area what they might not do in carry
ing on their private activities brought
a quick reaction" The Salt Lake
Deseret News AYERS that "this threat
at the Golden Gate was so full Of
dangerous possibilities that it aroused
the Nation"
The phenomenon Of strikes at this
unprecedented time, when the whole
force Of the worlds greatest country
is bent on giving labor more than
labor has ever asked, Is one Of the

in the opinion of the Charlotte News.
Termination of the threat is appraised
by the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette
aS "a victory for labor, a victory for
capital, and a victory for democracy
and recovery"
The Long Beach (Calif.) Press-Tel-
egram declares: with an aroused
public sentiment in San Francisco
and throughout the State, and with
many sources of evidence Of Commun-
ist activity under alien direction,
Californians generally will indorse
Gen. Hugh Johnson's advice, Let's
rid ourselves Of them, and will hope
for success of Gov. Merriam's appeal
to President Roosevelt for campaign
to deport those Subversive individuals
who are subject to deportation.
The Grand Forks IN. Dak) Herald
condemns a situation under which
''an entire population was deprived
Of food and transportation, and the

as a conflict in which multiplied
thousands Of innocent people were
made helpless victims"
The Brooklyn Times Union sum-
marizes: Sentiment all over the Ma
ton was hostile, and the strikers final
ly realized the position in which they
had placed themselves. The arro-
gance of the committee in charge
Of the strike in attempting to take

opinion Of the court:
THE Constitution unavoidably deals

Ambassador May.

Washington diplomatic corps is so
integral, important and interesting a
factor in the life Of the National
Capital that the passing of one OF its
shining lights is always an event that
casts shadow OF grief and sadness
over the District of Columbia. In the
death OF M. Paul May, who came to
the United States as the Ambassador
Of Belgium In 1880. the diplomatic
corps loses one Of its most dis
tinguished members and the people Of
America a proved friend OF many
years standing. Washington extends
10 M. Mays bereaved family, all Of
whom arc favorites in ofiicial society,
and TO the government which he
served so long and faithfully very
genuine sympathy.
Ever since Belgium's plucky fight
against the German invader exactly
I
fAdeless memory. the ties between that
gallant little country and the United
States have been bonds of deep affec-
ton. They were destined to become
firmer as q result Of the Belgian relief
expedition conducted mainly with the
aid of American funds by Heroert
Hoover and his associates. When the
late King Albert and his consort
visited the United States after the
war their majesties were left in no
doubt that Belgium and her people
had an uncommonly warm place in
the hearts Of America,
In such an atmosphere of friendli-
ness and good will M. May took up
his mission as Belgian Ambassador
1t was not his maiden assignment on
the Potomac, for he began his diplo-
matte life here as a young secretary
Of legation in l896-the start of what
was destined to be an outstanding
career and to take him to posts of
duty in many parts of the world, in
cluding Japan, China, Turkey, Mexi-
leo, Sweden, Brazil and Great Brit
ain. To be stationed in this country,
M. May once publicly testified, real
lied his highest ambition. He said
that he looked upon the Washington
Enthusiastically as the most eminent
honor that could be conferred upon
him.
M. Mays friends knew that the
trials and HciSsitudes incidental to
the Belgian-American debt negotia-
ton weighed heavily upon him. His
demise came at the early age of
sixty-two. Secretary of State Hull,
who mourns the loss of M. May as
that of q friend, always found the
suave Belgian envoy the personiica-
tion of tact, loyalty and sincerity.
Graduate Of oxford and a master Of
the English language, conspicuous
example Of Old World culture and
polish, he fitted ideally into the role
in which his life work cast him. Bel
gian-American relations will ever be
the better for the courteous and sea-
soned hand which Paul May, states
man. diplomat and man of the world,
consistently applied to them.

Lawns, private and public. are look
ing much better these days. following
the application to them Of much water
from hoses.
This sudden attack on the effects of
the drought followed directly on the
pointing out in this column Of the sad
appearance Of so much Of the grass
everywhere.
It was with great satisfaction that
we noticed far flung hose lines, and
sprinkler systems. in full operation on
almost every public park on the route
home.
Whether this column had anything
to do with It or not Is scarcely Of
moment, what concerns all Is that
people everywhere, including ofncials
in charge OF parks and public grounds,
decided to water when artificial water
ing was badly needed.
1t is a curious thing how masses
Of people do the same thing In waves,
We can recall several years ago when
the entire city applied too much water
to lawns.
Every day every householder had
the old hose unlimbered. and poured
some millions Of gallons onto lawns
that did not need 1t very much.
This year there seems to have been
q real public apathy to the question.
II was seldom that the observer saw
a hose working.
Many persons have stopped us on
Cd tgrla
and proclaimed their adoption of the
lawn watering method, as If it were
something totally new.
Perhaps this attitude is due to the
different types Of advice poured into
the home gardening ear.
For q long time now 1t has been the
custom to speak against the free
watering Of lawns, on the theory that
such attention is not needed, in the
first place, and. in the second. 1t
tends to cause free root growth near
the surface, which suffers first In 8
drought.
This advice, Of course. is good as
far as it goes. 1t may be negated,
however, by periods of unnatural dry
ness, or dehydration, as some like to
call it, and also by continued watering.
II one persists in watering, forever
keeping those surface roots moist, no
harm will come to the grass from such
continued attention, at least during
Summer and Fall.
When Winter comes, however, that
is another question. Lawns we'll
watered all Summer go unwatered,
and the cold kills the same rootlets
which would have suffered from dry
ness.
Since this has been found to be
true, it is not to be wondered at that
countless persons who have observed
this sad effect have come to the con-
clusion, along with the experts, that
watering the grass is bad for it."
If a lawn can get along without
artificial watering, so much the better
for 1t, undoubtedly, but the sad truth
Is that the great majority of grass
plots cannot get along so.
They need help when they need it,
the same as mice and men.
And they need it badly when an
extended dry spell dries out the
ground for distance of several feet
below the surface.
One must not be fooled by the
moisture which collects in the grass
blades overnight. This is merely sur
face moisture condensed from the air,
and does the grass no good, other
than q slight temporary freshening
whose value, as garden procedure, is
almost Mill, even If it does make
mower quite wet.
