Two small shelves on opposite sides
of the room hold two stuffed dogs.
One of these, a splendid white SpitZ,
is wearing a muzzle now regarded as
legal, of the so-called basket type,
while the other, a handsome black
police dog, wears the one e-strap muzZle,
which is neither effective nor legal
within the meaning of the law.
A IL this points to what on the face
of it looks like a somewhat
strange situation. Here's a man, pre-
sumably charged with sending stray
dogs on quick trip to puppy heaven.
who really loves the animals. So
much so, you later learn, that at
home he has complete set Of books
on his favorite subject. And on his
desk you now see snapshot showing
Mr.. Smith walking along the Wild
wood, N. j., Boardwalk with a Great
Dane in tow. Yes, even on vaca-
tion this surprising chap has to have
a canine friend on hand.
When the poundmasters through
phoning you inquire: What's the
mad dog situation in the District
today? Mr.. Smith reaches into a
desk drawer, takes out well-thumbed
little booklet and you read some fig
ures showing that Washington has
been virtually free of the rabies since
1881. Ever since 1920, when there
were 79 cases, there has been a steady
decline in the number of persons bit
ten by rabid dogs In 1921 the number
dropped to So; in 1922 to 81; there
was a single case in 1884 and none so
far this year.
Revenues from dogs-including IL
cense fees and pound fees from the
sale of canines-have gone steadily
upward since 1920. The figure in that
year was over $4,000. Last fiscal
year-July, 1888, to July, 1934-the
revenue was almost exactly three times
this amount.
Is the poundmaster permitted to use
this money for purposes of expansion
or improvement? Not single penny.
Everything earned at the pound goes
! into the Golfers of the Federal
Treasury.
Well, then, how does the pound
meet expenses? Congress annually ap-
propriates certain sum for the Health
Department, of which the District au-
ditor apportions about $1,000 a year
! for the pound
Mr.. Smith has surprisingly small
staff. Besides himself, there are only
five others on the job-colored labor
ers. You soon decide that a staff
double the present size ought to be
employed. For all day long people are
streaming in and out, making COM
plants, purchasing dogs. asking all
manner of questions, or just looking.
Evening star., 1935-07-14

However, practically every known kind
has found temporary residence here
some time or another.
Really, Mr.. Smith explains. his
establishment is laid out very simply:
THE present structural arrange
ment. built some 20 years ago, is COM
posed of two main wings, north and
south, the whole thing inclosed by
brick walls with connecting, open-air
sheds between each wing.
My Office is in the south wing, or
main building, which also contains
boiler room and 80 pens for healthy
dogs. The connecting sheds are used
to house a number of open-air ken
nels. The north wing contains IA ken
nels where biting dogs are kept under
observation for 10 days"
And now the poundmaster con-
ducts you on a brief tour of all these
sections. When you enter the main
kennels for healthy dogs. located
across the court from his Office, your
nose knows that you're in canine
apartment house. However, every
things spick and span. for, as MIR.
Smith takes pains to explain, all pens
are inspected daily with the utmost
thoroughneSs.
In these main kennels you see about
80 animals-police, collies, shepherds,
terriers and just plain NUTS" Each
pen, inclosed by strong wire screening,
has a number painted on it and room
| for five to seven average sized dogs.
Right now pen Is contains only
| four CANNES, all less than a year old.
They are: A chow with really beau
tiful maroon-colored fur, handsome
Belgian shepherd with the character
| istic black-and-w white markings on
chest and back and tan on legs and
around the mouth, a frisky Airedale
with heavy brown hair and a black
fellow of mixed breed, possibly bird
and hound.
En- route to the di5temper kennels
Mr.. Smith offers an exceedingly
learned dissertation on the we'll
known ailment. He explains:
"DiStemper Is contagious, catarrh-
| al fever that is a common and serious
disease among dogs. 1t is thought the
germs float through the air and are
inhaled. Pure-bred puppies, quite a
number of fine adults and just plain
NUTS, are subject to it on about an
/ equal numerical basis. Fortunately
one attack seems to give immunity to
! future attacks.
"The disease is brought on with a
chill that may last an hour or more.
It it followed by a high fever. In
some cases there are nervous symp-
toms shown by jerking of the head
and twitching of the muscles. Dis
temper runs its course in 10 to 80
days. There is no medicine that will
Evening star., 1935-07-14

interfere with its course All the treat
ment should be directed toward max
ing the sufferer comfortable and keep
ing up its strength so that it may re-
sist the disease"
A TOGETHER at the pound there
= are three distemper pens located
on the outside of a small court un-
derneath a small shed where there's
plenty of sunlight and fresh air. Only
four young sufferers, each year old
or less, are on hand right now and
each has his own separate pen.
Not a one, to your inexperienced
eve, gives definite indication of ILL
ness. But Mr.. Smith soon sets you
right on this point. See that thor
oughbred police pup in the extreme
left kennel?" he says. watch his
right leg" Sure enough, every couple
of seconds it starts to twitch.
All the members of this emergency
ward look like valuable house pets.
They include wee log on the order
of toy collie, mostly white with tan
markings; yellow and white hound"
of doubtful heritage, ana a well-bred
collie.
Only a couple of feet away, in the
same outside court, are the three ken
nels set aside for treatment Of NANCY
dogs. You are surprised to learn that
all three of the present inmates are
theroughbreds. First to catch your
eye is a really valuable red chow
only about eight weeks old and picked
up somewhere in Anacostia. On his
tiny right shoulder is bad case OF
the disease. You feel mighty sorry
for the handsome little brute. But
you needn't. Mr.. Smith chuckles
He'll be all right before get through
with him"
And this boast turns out to be cor
rect, you discover a few days later,
thanks to the potent effect on the
puppy of new mango cure, secret
Evening star., 1935-07-14

And every few seconds the phone rings.
Every morning around $50, Mr..
Smith says, he jumps into his dilapi-
dated bow WOW wagon cat least five
years old and patrols one or more
sections of the city. The average
mileage is about SO miles day. Com
plants are looked into and all waits
gathered in with the aid of enormous
nets. Around about O'Clock the
canine catchers return to the pound.
The rest of the day is occupied with
clerical and inspection work and the
care of sick animals.
Honestly, it's little short of amazing
that with such f1fth-rate equipment
and inadequate personnel Mr.. Smith is
able to maintain his consistently high
standard of efficiency. Last year 1852
Evening star., 1935-07-14

animals were handled at the pound
Last month GA were handled. How
many of these are made into useful
members of dog society?
ONCE more Mr.. Smith whips out
his wee record books and peers
intently therein: Our sale OF dogs
has averaged about As per cent of the
total number handled. We've had tc
destroy only 35 per cent, and these in
every instance were animals Of nc
value-old, vicious or diseased"
At the time of your visit there are
80 animals in the pound. Today, the
poundmaster says, the police dog pre-
dominates among the "transients," and
next in order are the mixed breeds, like
collies, Airedales, Scotties and bulls
Evening star., 1935-07-14

! His phone conversation finished,
the man says to you:
Can I be of service? am w. r.
! Smith, poundmaster."
/ You state your business. Mr.. Smith
opens the screen door, offers you a
( chair beside his desk and you're in
a dog pound, maybe for the first time
in your life! Evidently the pound
master senses this fact. For about
! Is minutes you don't need to ask a
single question. This fellows verita-

been in charge of the pound for Is
years. Previously, for a like period
he was in the inspection service,
Health Department, following three
years on the Washington police force.
Born on farm in Loudoun County,
| Va, close to Leesburg, Mr.. Smith first
became interested in dogs when his
dad started breeding fox hounds on
a large scale. But that's another
story.
Certainly the poundmaster is unique
| in at least one important respect. He's
the only man in Washington, so far
as is known, vested with police au-
! thority as a direct result of special
act of Congress. None other than
Senator Royal S. Copeland achieved
this for Mr. Smith on April 80. 1890,
the immediate occasion being couple
of unwarranted attacks on the pound
master.
Right after telling you this Mr..
Smith once more is called to the
phone, thereby giving you chance
to look around a bit more thoroughly.
Two entire walls are covered with
snapshots, commercial pictures, ar

every kind of dog known to man.

JOB
AGENCY NEED
STRESSED
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Need of centralized personnel
agency, operating similar to the
Civil Service Commission, that
would aid in solving the employ
ment problem of every emergency
unit in the District, has been
brought to light by the recent
petition to Harry L. Hopkins by
organized workers of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration.
At present the temporary and
emergency employment situation
in the Capital resembles the big
parade. When the layoff comes
through, the typical procedure is
to trot up to the Hill for some
more letters, then alternately burn
the soles walking the streets and
cool the heels waiting some ap'

With the total of Federal EN-.

mark, and more due when the
works relief program starts at full

rental regulation are anticipating
hearings, this week, on the rent
control measure sponsored by
Rep. Henry Ellenbogen CD of
Pennsylvania. A subcommittee of
the House District committee,
headed by Mr.. Ellenbogen, is ex-
pected to hear testimony of var

Discussing the question, an Of
