DOG OWNERS
GIVEN ADVICE

AS a part of the observance of
Be Kind to Animals anniversary
this week societies for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals every
where are offering advice to animal
owners as to how best their pets
may be kept healthy and happy and
suffering be averted.
Here is some of the information
given by SPCA veterinarians with
regard to the care of the dog:
No definite diet can be prescribed
for all dogs, but it is we'll to observe
carefully what foods the dog Graves
which of them is good for him and
to feed the dog accordingly. The
young puppy should be able to feed
alone when he is five or six weeks
old. From that time until he is
three months old he should be fed
at least six times daily. From the
age of three months the number of
meals should be gradually decreaS-
ed until at full maturity but two
daily meals are necessary.
Under three months of age the
puppy should receive bread and
milk, puppy crackers, raw eggs and
milk, soups and broths. to which
are added a little toasted cubed
bread. He may also have small
quantity of raw meat, the amount
to be increased as he grows older.
Remember, say the experts, that
the dog, large or small, when he
grows older, is a flesh eater. While
he may digest vegetables and cer-
eals occasionally, his diet in the
main should be meat, raw or cook
ed, boiled or roasted.
Suggested vegetables are peas,
spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, tur-
nips, string beans, onions, garlic
and carrots, thoroughly cooked.
Emergency foods recommended are
canned corned beef, prepared fish
and wheat, soups such as oxtail,
mutton, lamb broth and beef broth,
and dog biscuits such as high grade
pet shops and department stores
carry.

stills of your own.
.'I will,' said Susie. But when
she tried to make a pair of stills
she couldn t. Girls aren't very
good carpenters. So Susie went to
Uncle Wiggily and said: "Please
help me make a pair of stills. -
"All right answered the rabbit
gentleman. 81 used to be very
good stilt walker when was a rab-
bit boy. I'll teach you to walk on
stills and you can beat Sammie. 4"
"Oh, joyl' laughed Susie. Uncle
Wiggily made two pairs of stills,
one for himself and one for Susie.
Then they went out to practice and
something happened. And if the

couldn t do. Sammie was a good
jumper, as are all rabbits. One day
he made a big jump across the
meadow brook, which was very
wide because of the April rains.
Over the brook jumped Sammie.
AS he jumped he called to Susie:
Hi, you can't do this!o
Didn't Jump Far Enough
Sammie thought he was going to
jump all the way across the brook.
But he didn't know quite how wide
it was, so he didn't jump far
enough, and into the water and
mud of the bank he splashed,
"Ho! Ho!' laughed Susie. ~

she did, leaping all the way over
the brook and landing safely on the
far side without getting her paws
wet. -

ly, 81 wanted to splash in the water.
My paws were hot and cooled

"Hol Ho! You could not!" laugh

Sammie felt just a little bit
ashamed of himself and he thought: !:
II must find something very hard
to do-something that only a rab-
bit boy can do-and then I'lli!have
the laugh on Susie when she tries
it. Now I wonder what stunt I can
do that Susie can't?"
Just then Sammie saw Billie
Wagtail, the boat boy, walking on
stills. You know what stills are
long sticks with little shelves for
your feet-and when you walk on
stills you are as tall as some giants.
But it ism t easy to walk on stills.
Hurrayi" shouted Sammie.
'This will be something Susie can It

And she II try it and She II stumble

BE KIND TO ANIMALS-ALWAYS

In addition to being observed as Pub
lie Schools Week, this is also Be Kind to
Animals Week and is therefore doubly
deserving of public attention
Of course being kind to animals should
not be restricted to one particular week.
and it should not be necessary to have a
week set apart to urge such considera-
tlon for dumb beasts, but man being what
he is, it has been found necessary to call
his attention to the wickedness of being
Intentionally cruel or unintentionally ne
glectful to animals
Generally speaking, the week is dedi-
Gated to the welfare of domestic animals.
Considering it from this angle it is no
compliment to man to have to be remind
ed that he should be kind to the animals
who serve him so faithfully in so many
ways. As they cannot care for them
selves as they would in their natural
state, they must of necessity depend up
on man to care for them. They need food
and shelter and attention to their injur-
les and they should not be abused or ne
elected
Those owning animals as pets, are in
the main considerate of them and give
them the care they require. Their eff
forts should extend beyond this, how
ever and should include proper regard
for the rights of their neighbor who may
be injured by the depredations of their
pets, which, to the neighbor, may not be
considered pets at all, but downright
nuisances But even though the neigh
Dor may consider the animals as nuis-
ances and may suffer somewhat from
their visits to his property, this does
not justify him in being cruel to them,
His redress can and should be obtained
by other and lawful means.
The faith dumb animals place in their
human friends, the loyalty with which
they serve them and their devotion to
them through thick and thin and all 9TH
er conditions, should gain for them the
consideration they merit not only this
week but throughout the year.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-If you
feel inclined to make envious re-
marks about the $4,000 salaries
which congressman receive, don't
let Mrs. Charles F. Mclaughlin,
wife of the Democratic represen-
tative from Omaha, Neb., hear you.
She can and will expostulate at
length on the subject of where a
congreSSman'S money goeS-eSpe-
cially how much of it goes for rents
in Washington.
The McLaugnlins brought their
two children here, but no furniture.
They decided furnished apart
ment with three bedrooms was
their minimum requirement. Mrs.
Mclaughlin told a housing confer
ence about their trials in finding
one.
The first place they tried was
offered at $3.50 a month on a two
year lease or $3.50 month for six
months.
The next objected to children. A
house was offered furnished for
$3.50 a month. Another house had
rooms so dark that Mrs McLaugh-
lin said they made "the black hole
of Calcutta look like a sun porch"
In still another house offered for
$3.50, "the china was conglomer-
alton of remnants from nine sets
broken by previous renters"
Finally the McLaughlin's select
ed place which costs them 5000
a month.
Of course not all congressman
rent furnished houses. Many have
smaller apartments. and a check
shows that 30 senators and 1874
members of the house live in ho-
tells. But with the capitals entire
housing situation crowded by the
new deal' influx, hotel suites are
not cheap either.
Some congressman say that they
use sizeable parts of their salaries
entertaining constituents from
home who come here to see the
sights or do business with the gov
ernment.

MAKING 1T A FOURSOME

Instead of the triumvirate of Long-J Ohm
son and Coughlin, Percy l.. Gassaway,
the cowboy congressman from Oklahoma
is willing to make it foursome, count
ing himself in on the newest game of
"gassing the public.
Representative CIassaway has offered
to lick Huey Long In any style the latter
prefers to be licked Thus far he has re-
Trained from any challenges to General
Johnson or Father Coughlin.
In discussing Long last night Congress
man Gassaway likened the senator to a
"tom-tit," a small bird and harmless
one, without apologizing to the tom
tits
He berated Long for grinding the
working man down to a measly $4,000 a
year" as proposed in Huey's "share-the-
wealth" program, and asked how Huey
can maintain a home in New Orleans,
another in Shreveport and luxurious
quarters in Washington on $4,000 a
year budget, though Huey's is bigger
than that.
This is the congressman's first term at
Washington and his ability is not known.
However, he does seem to have good
sense of humor, for his heckling of Huey
has been along the lines of irony and rid
icule which, in the final analysis, are
the DeSC WedpOIlS against Tic Ming lioAi'
Not even "kingfish" can withstand rid
icule perpetually.
The congressman's entrance into the
hitherto three-cornered scrap is more or
less welcome The other three have been
taking themselves so seriously in their
efforts to "save the country" that fell
low with a sense of humor is needed to
keep the rest of us from taking them all
too seriously.
As far as we are concerned the Okla
homa representative can live up to his
name literally and gas away as much as
he wants. For that matter, that is all
the other three have been doing.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND SUSIE S
Stills

Susie Littletail was a rabbit girl
but in some ways she was like a
rabbit boy. One reason for this was
because she had a brother named
Sammie and Sammie was a rabbit
boy.
Many times Sammie would say to
his sister:
Hi, Susie. you can't do thisl"
Then he would stand on his head
or turn a back Somersault or may
be try to jump over his shadow,
which is very hard to do. Try it
and see.
Susie would watch her brother
and she was so much like boy
rabbit that she could stand on her
head and turn a back somersault
but she never could jump over her
shadow. Even Sammie couldn't do
that.
Sammie was always trying to
think up hard things that he could

John V. A. Weaver, poet, drama

has added a dissenting voice to the
almost universal accolate for the
talents of Katherine Cornell. He
finds her tedious and boots the
idea she is first actress of her time.
But if box office standards prevail,
Miss Cornell remains the biggest
drawing card. The only actress
likely to run away with the Cor

an importation who had many dis
