BY Milton A. BOsIey, D. V. M.
The Norwegian elkhound is one
of the most ancient and sporting
of dogs. Little change has taken
place in this type of canine since
he reigned supreme in the days Of
the Vikings of Norway and Swe-
den, when he was used in hunt
ing for boar, bear, deer and elk.
The background of the elk
hound is the Arctic Circle. He is
eligible for the canine social reg
lister of the Land of the Midnight
Sun, which includes such famous
families as the huskie, eskimo,
keeshound and Samoyede.
In Norway and Sweden heavy
specimens of this breed are not
preferred, for massive animals
cannot run their prey long dis
lance.
The disposition Of this hound
is remarkably gentle. and suggests
a dog with a human smile.
Although not well known in
America today, it is likely that
the breed will soon be destined
for a greater share of public at
tention in the near future.
An altogether desirable dog, ap-
proximately As pounds in weight
and around 20 inches in height.
1 believe that there is no more
regal specimen of dogdom present
ing such uniform contour and
Symetry.

Hope that this years Christmas
Seal Sale would reach the figure
attained year ago was renewed
this week, when officers Of the
Anti tuberculosis League Of King
County learned that patients at
Finland Sanitarium had raised the
sum of $S45.
This boost from those who
know what it is to have tubercu-
losis win make us work all the
harder to protect our citizens from
learning the same lesson by exper-
ience," Newman H. Clark, league
president, said. Experience is too
bitter teacher for US to risk any
ones life in learning the lesson
that Christmas Seals prevent tub
erculosis. Tuberculin testing in
our schools now being conducted
by the league with the cooperation
of public health authorities, if it is
done on a wide enough scale, viii
enable US to find all ,ases of tub
erculosis in time 70 insure recov-
cry and viii help us find many in
time to prevent Illness" he con-
cluded.
The sum brought the current
seal sale returns up to about thir-
teen thousand dollars, only about
three thousand dollars below the
total received last year. The $845
was raised by selling seals to for
mer patients, employees Of Fir
land, to friends and relatives, and
by the purchase Of seals by the pa
tents themselves.

400 Negroes on Relief

Continued from Page u
staff, Of which "a are case work
ers and $50 teachers.
Around 9s,5OO Of the states
47s, 463 Negroes were on relief IN
1885, Allen revealed. This was 25.4
per cent Of the total of 393, O52 Civ
en- aid, almost a hundred more
than received aid in 1884 With
whites averaging TAG Of those get
ting relief. the prof ortion as to
race in Arkansas shows Negroes
receiving over / per cent less Of
relief funds than in their ~ per
cent Of the whole population
Hit Hard In Country
Ruralites Of color have been the
hardest hit by far. Eighty-two
per cent Of Arkansas colored po-
pulation are found on the farm,
and these are IS per cent Of Ne
groes seeking relief. Only 1901
of the 89,162 city dwellers Of the
race are on the rolls. Allen ex-
plains this by saying the urban
ties embody most of the educated
and skilled workers who are not
dependent on cotton farming for
their livelihood.
Negroes have shared without
discrimination in the $50, 920. $780,
SO spent by the us, on relief, the
official declares. Eight districts
administer the WPA. with Arkan-
sas itself aiding through the state
welfare commission. Negroes have
been employed in white collar pro-
jects and on WPA wnicE hires all
eligIbles at fixed federal pay
scales in both skilled and unskilled
types Of labor. Percentages by
race are not known, Allen asserts.
Excess In Education
In expenditures for education,
Negroes came out far ahead be-
cause of the higher percentage of
illiteracy. There were $50 colored
teachers and 627 whites, all re-
ceiving the same salary basis.
During 1934-s5, there We're 5000
Negro adults taught to read and
write. Altogether. 20,153 colored
received instruction in addition to
the nursery and public schools.
All of the states Negro public
schools were operated under the
educational program along with
whites and for full school periods
something not ordinarily done
because of interference with the
cotton crop in rural areas.
The oldest man taught to read
and write is Elijah Hookes, "a, and
the oldest woman is Mary Bass,
104. At the other extreme, the
nursery schools, there were equal
Accommodations with the us. pro-
viding an initial $3.50 for starting
and $40 monthly for upkeep, ac-
cording to Allen.
Very little change is seen in
farming and manufacturing since
relief has been given. Everything
is dependent upon cotton. Lumber
ing, which once provided seasonal
jobs, was practically terminated in
1928-29 Before the depression,
sharecroppers, etc, could get off
season work by helping repair the
plantation but hard times put a
stop to this.
The floods and droughts since
1927 caused many rural people to
receive practically continuous dis
