Suburban Home
Is Wanted for
Shepherd Dog

Duke, a German shepherd
about 20 months old, needs an
other home because his present
owners feel that an apartment
residence is not fair to him.
Duke needs plenty of space to
satisfy his love for outdoor
life. A dandy home for him,
says his master, would be in one
of those suburban places where
there is someone home during the
day.
Not a children's pet is Duke
because he is only accustomed to
being with adults, but he will
make a splendid dog. His health
is perfect.

President Roosevelt has decided I.

q trip across the continent to Seattle
Wash. with a number of stops
particularly in the Northwest Sec
ton Of the country. and visit Il
Yellowstone National Park.
The President will leave Washington
tonight for his Hyde Park home, where
he will remain until Wednesday after
noon, when he will start on his journey
In announcing this. the White HOUSE
stated that it was definite unless
something unforeseen happens in the
meantime"
The details of the Presidents
itinerary have not yet been worked
out definitely. but it. is his intention
to spend not more than two DAYS in
Seattle. at the home OF his daughter
Mrs. John Boettiger. whose husband
Is publisher of the Seattle Post Intel
lirencer, and TO be back in Wash

The President will be accompanied

Mrs Roosevelt, Secretary Marvin H.
Mcintyre. Col. Edwin Watson, White
House military aide; Dr. Ross t. Nc
fntire, White House physician. and
Miss Marguerite lie Hand. the Presi-
dents confidential secretary.
War Unsettled Plans.
The President has had his trip to
the West Coast in mind for some
time, but during the last week or so
the Sino-Jspanese war situation. in
addition to unsettled affairs in Eu-
rope, became so serious as to suggest
the possibility OF the President
abandoning the trip or postponing it
10 as to keep in close touch with
the State Department in Washington.
After carefully studying the situation
and following frequent conferences
during the last week with Secretary
of State Hull and representatives OF
the State Department. the President
decided it would be safe to make the
Western trip without fear of serious
developments while he was away from
Washington. Facilities aboard his spe-
eial train will make it possible for
him To keep in close touch with
Washington.
Since the announcement some weeks
ago that the President intended 10
make this trip. which will take him
through all Of the Northwestern
States, there has been much news
paper speculation as to whether he
would take this occasion to rally the
people beneath his banner in his fight
10 reorganize the Supreme Court, and
at the same time deal out reprisals
against the little group of Western
Senator's whose opposition to his court
plan brought about its defeat in the
Senate.
Impromptu Talks Expected.
Although the President has no set
speeches In mind. it is understood that
his itinerary will include a number of
stops along the way which will pro-
vide an opportunity for him to make
rear-platform appearances and possi-
big extemporaneous talks in addition
30 receiving aboard his train the local
Democratic leaders.
The President, either in going to or
returning from the West Coast will
have his train routed so as TO inspect
. number on the larger New Deal
projects. including the mammoth
dams being built at Bonneville, At Fort
Peck and Grand Coulee.
