DOCCONE

What the eternal happenings has struck us? I hope that my tail never curls if this isn't Tues day but not one of my human pals packed up books and cheerfully started for school. And what a morning too, for a nice run and bark bark. And when I go to the gate and yelp to be let out-nothing doing. I have to stay right in the yard or the house and play and wool, how l would like to stretch my legs. What has come over us?"
 Thus whined Sport, Towser, Mike, Kim, Spike, Scoops, Curly, and scores of other purps in Juneau this morning.
 Scoops would not even leave the yard to go out on the highway to chase an auto. The kids were all at home and he was afraid they would duck and he would not be in the ducking. He could not understand why they were home.
 In other parts of the city the dogs didn't want to fight even, and just looked at each other, walking stiff-legged and growing out: What is this infant-ill par alysis anyhow?"
 Not only is there a dirth of dogs running around but the children are keeping off the streets too, accord ing to regulations and it is hard to say whether the children or the bowwows feel the health campaign worse.
