"Cracker breaks up the race for the

pedal cranks of the machine, and this
is turned by the operator, who can then
keep the hare" yard or two in front
of the leading dog all the way up the
course.
My own dogs are fans of semi-me-
chanical hare racing. My collection is
varied in breed and galloping capacity.
so race them on handicaps. Starting
with the longest handicapS, we have
Susan, the andy-hindlegged sealyham.
She is not flyer, but what she loses
in pace she makes up for in determine
ton, and any dog that passes her has
to run the risk of leaving mouthful
of his flesh with her. Next we have
Turps, the rough-haired dachshund, and
then Bogey, my er-er terrier; Cracker,
the full terrier that Anna May Wong
loved on account of his Oriental eyes,
follows, and last of all comes the Ibiza
hound, Quixote. A race with this motley
field is always amusing, exciting and
dangerous for the operators at the
finish
Having arranged my pack on their
various handicap marks, each Is held
by strong acquaintance ready to take
the risks and run with them. Some
times they are turned loose when the
starting gun is fired. This method is
more unsafe for the operators at the
bicycle wheel, and always ends in the
machinery becoming hopelessly mixed
up, the "winder" and hare snatcher"
being taken to hospital, while the hare
itself is completely chewed up at the
winning post.
| DO not advocate this method for a
mongrel dog show. 1t is not often
allowed in my own home unless have
very powerful and husky friends willing
to take these risks The hare Snatcher"
that is, the man who snaps up the
hare to save its life after the winning
line is passed-has the most perilous
job. The "winder" can bolt and leave
his machine, but the "snatcher," If he
does his work, runs with my pack, thirst
ing for blood, at his heels!
If Susan cannot get the hare she
bites the legs of the "snatcher," and
If the "snatcher'' can keep the hare
from Cracker, wherever he puts it, he
deserves burial with military honorSl
For those of us who have kept bull
terriers I need not explain the reason
for this-for those who have not, I
give it.:
Cracker is a dog which has never
been known to lose his temper-but
when he sets his heart on a thing
no human being, fence, tree or i'm
passable mountain can stop him from
obtaining it.
The galloping hare attached to the
end of the fishing line is one of the
things he invariably sets his heart on,
and it is quite impossible to turn him
aside, once he has started. It takes
two or three strong men to hold Cracker
on these occasions, and his yells Of
defiance drown every other sound for
miles.
Cracker when in love is just the same.
Ne locks, doors, iron railings or chains
can stop him going out to court the
lady of his choice; but that, dear ladies,
you will all agree is as it should be.
Cracker is one of the worlds great low
ers. Likewise, no Carnera can hold him

CURBS
AUTO SALES

NEW YORK. June 19.-The ef-
fects Of the spring drought on
leading industries are summarized
as follows, by the Standard sta
tistics Company, of New York:
Railroads few granger roads
will move less wheat, although
those tapping the far west grain
producing areas should show i'm
provement. Moreover. the indi-
Gated rise in total farm incomes
suggests expansion of inbound
shipments, particularly by some
Of the southwestern roads.
Retail trade-SaleS Of distrtbu.
tors limited to the drought area
have been curtailed, and these
companies cannot be expected to
experience their usual late sum-
mer and fall volume expansion.
Leading mail order houses, how.
ever, with national distribution,
should be affected relatively little.

questionably being accentuated by
crop damage. Total farm income,
however, is the major determinant
of sales volume and collections on
receivables, suggesting that the re.
cent recession will be no more
than temporary.
Automob mobileS-Drought affected
regions normally contribute about
80 per cent Of total Car sales, and
are particularly important to fan
volumes. Markets for used cars
and low priced new cars will be
restricted substantially during the
remainder of the year in the
drought area.
Meat packing-unuSually heavy
marketingS of livestock are en-
abling meat packers to accumu-
late inventories at relatively low
prices. A shortage is likely during
the late summer and fall, Sug-
costing higher prices and subStan-
tial inventory profits for the
packers before the end Of their
fiscal years.

FISHERS INDEX

Scoring the largest advance for
any week since the middle Of last
July, Prof. Irving Fishers whole
sale commodity price index Jumped
ahead LIS to another new recov'
cry high Of TIA in the week ended
June Is.
The large Jump in the commod.
ity index brought an even larger
numerical drop in the purchasing
power Of the dollar which reached
a new recovery low as it dropped
2.7 to 129.1.-
The price index has advanced
now for seven consecutive weeks
Starting at 1871 on April 81, it has
since then gained 4.3. The depres'
sion low was $50 on March 8,
1888.
The British index Of wholesale
prices failed to continue the gain
reported last week and receded to
64.5 from 64.7 q week ago. It is
now just equal to the average fig
ure for May. The current figure
compares with the recovery high
Of 66.4, and with the depression

SAYS JONES

Control Of credit has been trans
ferred from New York to Wash
1ngton, Jesse H. Jones. RFC chair
man, declared in addressing the
George Peabody College for Teach
ers, In Nashville.
Pointing to the many emergency
measures passed by Congress.
Jones said that both President
Roosevelt and Congress are de-
termined that people in this
country should not go hungry or
lose their homes, or be without
credit with which to acquire new
homes. He added:
"SOme Of these activities also
preSage that the necessities Of
nfe, such as those furnished by
public utility corporations, must
be made available 1T fair rates;
that the day Of pyramiding and

With the completion of the sew
eral large projects now under con-
Struction for generating electricity
from Government-owned water
power, the Government will be in
q position to protect consumers
from extortionate charges for this
service, Jones said.
Declaring the main purpose Of
the RFC has been to store credit
and to reconstruct banks, Jones
asserted there was no desire on
the part of the President or the
corporation to continue lending
any longer than is necessary, and
when credit is actually being ex.
tended, the RFC will gladly give
way to the banks and other lend
ing institutions.
