bark very little, except upon those oc-
casions when the primitive nature Of
the beast comes uppermost.
One such very we'll known occasion
is the fight, but there is another and
less easily explained. 1t happens some
times when one dog, for no easily dis
ceraable reasons, begins to bark.
Dog by dog takes it up by turn until
the ancient pandemonium reigns
A listener might think well-developed
"dog fight" in full operation, but it is
nothing of the sort. Although there
may be some scuft1ing, dog with dog, in
the main the beasts are simply barking.
A well-intentioned admonition out the
window will silence the pack, usually,
sending them on their rounds again.
Mostly these spells come when group
of three or four meets up with another
small group.
Surely these early morning pedestrians
on four legs revert slightly to the pack
This is shown not only by their band
Ing together, but even more by the
silence they maintain in the main.
They are on the trail.
Just what they are trailing they do
not know themselves. The early world is
filled with delicious scents, known to
dogs far and wide. The friends of dogs
everywhere in time come to recognize
some of these and have full sympathy
with their canine friends.
On the morning tour three or four
friends will take the same old path
morning after morning. Usually there is
leader and the others follow after him.
1t will be difficult to determine on what
basis of fact or fancy the members of
the little pack decide to leave certain
estates alone. Apparently old habits
play the largest part, along with GER
tain percentage Of chance. Whatever
attracts the dogs to one driveway in the
first place operates ceaseleSsly there
after.
After the morning jaunt another lure
begins to get in its work
1t is no less than hunger.
Each dog becomes willing, at last, after
a half hour Of roaming or maybe an
hour, to return to home base.
There will be waiting the pleasant
platter of food and, it may be hoped in
passing, that it is good fresh beef and
plenty of it. More dog ailments are
than perhaps through any other depriva-
ton.
Latest researches on the feeding of the
common goldfish in the small aquarium
tend to show that as long as the fishes
have plenty of vitamins and minerals
not the same by any means-they may
eat as much food as they want, whereas
If the foods fed are lacking in these
essentials the fishes are very easily killed
by ''overfeeding" as it is called
In other words, good food food filed
with elements Nature put in it. is one
thing, but food deprived of these ele-
ments is quite another.
The dog fed ON good foods will be
full of pep when he goes with his
buddies on that early morning ramble
which evidently is such delightful
part Of suburban dog life.

portions of the surrounding fluid and
lnclose them as globules within the cell.
The globules move centrally, the con-
tents are digested and the fluid then
dif1uses out of the cell In the course
of few hours cell may drink several
times its volume. In this manner cells
take in complex substances in solution,
such as proteins which cannot diffuse
into them. They probably play an i'm
portant role in maintenance of the body
fluids in proper condition. for there is
good evidence that within the body they
are continually drinking in, digesting and
thus modifying the tissue fluids which
bathe most of the cells of the body

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEVELL.

Morning journey of group OF sub
urban dogs Is a solemn affair leading
into selected yards, sometimes ending in
. fight, or just simple barking spree.
One morning the group may start a
rabbit. What sport! Not even a cat
offers so much inducement to extend q
fellows legs.
Fortunately for the wild bunny, there
are plenty of hedges through which it
may dart.
Then the dogs whimper. They have
lost the trail, sad thing in q dogs life.
Enhancing odors watt around in the
early hours. just after dog is let out
for his morning constitutional.
Sandy, Scotue; Bozo q red chow,
and Billy, an American foxhound, meet
at the end of the block
They exchange greetings.
Where is Sport, the other chow, this
morning?
Sport Is queer fellow, so we'll trained
that even when a stranger speaks to
him he minds" at once
Often the quartet reaches the mouth
OF certain driveway where cats reside.
Dogs are not wanted there, but there is
very fine shrub
GO home, sir!"
Sport turns around Immediately, starts
for home without backward glance.
To be told to go home" few minutes
after one has left it is rather discon-
certlng, to be sure, but Sport knows the
voice of command.
Probably it is just rs well that he is
not present this morning. Sandy and
Bozo and Billy, with much appreciation
! OF the cool morning air, stream along
the sidewalk one after the other on ad-
venture bent

in earnest to be ridiculed. He knows
the struggle with which the younger
generations are faced and understands
the need for their skilled and efficient
preparation for the winning of the
battle. The ancient spelling match Of
New England and the pioneer West he
probably appreciates generously enough
for its period-a day infinitely less pic
ture-minded than 1887; day when
books were rare and expensive; 4 day
when schools were few and far between;
still undreamed. He wants to be up to
date, and the public which looks to
him for guidance desires that he should
be. If more effective techniques OF
teaching are available, the American
people demand the advantage OF them.
There can be no debate about that. Few
citizens would defend an old method
simply because it was old. Yet neither
are they prejudiced for new methods
merely because they are new. A clue
to a solution of the problem possibly
might be found in recognition OF the
truth that children differ. Some may
learn more readily by an experimental
system; others by that measurably sue

Meanwhile DR.. Studebaker's opinion

lines:

Wishful Thinking

Despite repeated and categorical White
House and State Department assertions
that President Roosevelt is not thinking
OF taking the initiative in calling an in
ternational conference on economics or
any other subject, Europe persists in
attributing such purpose to him. From
London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels and
other capitals intermittent suggestions
have reached this country for the past
month to the effect that various powers
yearn to bury the hatchets of trade
rivalry, raw materials and disarmament
at round table, If only the American
President will issue the invitations.
Time and again administration spokes-
men have branded these stories as the
'inspired" products of interested Eu-
Sopean quarters, governmental or jour-
nalistic, or both. But they continue to
cross the ocean. AS politely as possible,
Washington indicates that such tales are
purely the Pigments OF Old World imagi-
nation.
They are bolstered by three specific
at Large Davis at the London Sugar
Conference, Belgian Premier Van Zee
lands forthcoming trip to the United
States and the visit of former British
Labor Leader George Lansbury to Chan
eellor Hitler, the latter having evinced
platonic interest in any meeting sum-
moned by Mr.. Roosevelt. On the
strength OF these several facts, the news
cables depict European economic au-
thorities" as now confidently predicting
a new and this time successful economic
conference" to be called by the United
States. The cold truth is that all and
eundry OF this welter of recurring rumor
and report belong to the realm of wish
ful thinking.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
maintain their interest, rs do the whole
American people, in feasible plans for
bringing order out of international
chaos and removing the danger of war
which oppresses the world. But the
United States does not believe the hour
ripe for conference to accomplish
those ends, and very particularly does
not think that this country should take
the lead in bringing one about.
For the moment Uncle Sam is con-
eentratihg on single project for i'm
proving international relationships
reciprocal trade agreements. Within the
scope Of such pacts this Government
discerns not only the brightest prospect
Of world economic readjustment, but
also OF paving the way to disarmament
and peace To that line the United
States will hew until conditions promise
some speedier and better approach to
the problem. An observation in a late
London dispatch to the Associated Press
gives the game away. mo European
statesman" it says, wants conference,
which he calls, to be branded failure,
but they are all willing to let President
Roosevelt take a chance" There could
hardly be a more candid confession of
trans Atlantic eagerness to have Uncle
Sam hold the bag. Happily, there is
no prospect that that wary old gentle
man has any thought of playing the
role Europe would thrust upon him.

Her Mirror.

Her MIRROR.
When a beautiful woman falls i'll,
A long, devastating attack,
1t is hard to look into her glass
And see what the mirror gives back.
But Time is kindly old scout;
He repairs what himself has destroyed;
And some day her glass will reflect
Once again the fair looks she enjoyed.
The eyes will grow brilliant once more,
The contour Of face will return
And she'll not need a quicksilver glass
Her dear vanished charm to discern.
