livery dog lover believes that his dog is the
II most intelligent in existence. and cat owners
have taught their pets to perform almost mirac-
ulous feats For every sort of pet there's an
owner to insist that his pet is the smartest of
them ALL
Imagine then, what fun the western division
of the American Pet Fanciers Association has
during its conventions each year, when delegates
from many states argue out the question at
length-and display pictures to prove their con-
tention.
Are dogs smarter than parrots squirrels,
or ROSTERS?
This much debated puzzle has been answered
or as nearly so as such controversial ques-
ton can ever bet-by Photographic evidence
favoring the widely assorted pets of Mrs. Joseph
Watson. The only possible conclusion is that
Tt all depends upon the pet" And as evidence
of this there are a number of candid camera"
studies of extraordinary goats, white rats.
SQUIRRELS, crows parrots, ponies and dogs.
One of Mrs. Watson's dogs thinks nothing OF
carrying stick erossways in his mouth, while
a huffy-tailed squirrel sits on each end. If he
gently twists his head from side to side, the
trained squirrels have an amusing game of see
saw But they hang on and seem to enjoy it.
These same squirrels, which scold and chatter
necessarily when in the mood, were taught to
talk" over a toy telephone to a parrot at the
other end of the line. There was a small dis
crepancy, when the squirrels talked into the
receiver and the bird squawked into the trans
mitter-but it made good picture.
Do pets make good musicians? Certainly!

For over a year Howard Ramsey. former South

strange looking pair of goggles especially in
vented to aid his recovery. His eye specialist
has fitted him with paig of glasses that have

strapped over his eyes to shut out all light from

goggles have discs of aluminium Only one tiny
