 An astonishingly large number ot people seem to believe that .Salva- tionists have no homes of their own, but live all together, on a sort of community basis, in large barracks This is probably a relic of the early days when the Army halls, or meet ing places, were known as bar racks" in line with the military form of organization.
 Salvation Army soldiers-that is, members of the organization who do not give all their time in service lead the life of the average Ameri- can citizen, engaging in their daily occupations, and living in their own homes wherever they are ap- pointed.
 Two young women, appointed to a crowded slum district, live among their people. Their quarters may be only two rooms but they are spot less, simple, and fragrant-a con- tinual example of what can be done with ingenuity and the least pos- sible amount of money.
 Missionary officers appointed to little village, miles from civiliza- tion, bring out their few pictures and books and a cushion or two, and suddenly the strange, bare native hut is "home."
 Field officers, who are moved from town to town every year or two, not only can call their present abode home, but can call to mind many happy days spent in their various homes in different parts of the country.
 Salvation Army officers own no furniture. When they leave one home for another, furniture and household effects remain behind as

BOY WILL TRY TO
 GET HIS DOG BACK

Cleveland, May 18-(UP)- Ten year-old Roger Halvorsen was ready today to go to court and fight for the custody of his dog, Spot. Ac- cording to the young owner Spot is a good dog but every time SC sees Patrolman Barney Suchan, a neigh bor who works nights. He howls. Aside from that bad trait, which has aroused the neighborhood, Spot is "just about the swellest dog in the world" Roger said.
 Complaints from neighbors brought a letter from authorities to Rogers father, Andrew Halvorsen, ordering the dog removed or destroyed. He was taken to the Animal Protective league. But Halvorsen revealed to- day that he planned to get his sons dog back by court action. Suchan complained that Spot howled "so blamed loud and long that I lost 12 pounds in a few weeks, not get ting any sleep during the day" Other neighbors said that Spot just turns his sad eyes toward the sky and moans."
