Have Friends In High Places.

DOGS always have had loyal cham
pions in high places. The White
House never has been without them.
Kings and princes often have thought
more of their dogs than of their sub
iects-and so have the dogs of the
ks and p's, to say nothing OF the
subjects often agreeing with their
rulers and thinking more of the dogs,
too.
But, be that rs Il mAy-it be-
gins to get very involved-dogs
always have had their cham
pions In Congress.
I do not know what the occasion
was, but on February 8. 1928, Repre-
sentative Harry B. HAYES OF Mis-
siouri made q speech about dogs
which was q real tribute to his canine
friends. His remarks on dogs In gen.
eral show a real knowledge and un-
derstanding Of dogs. I believe that
this speech was instrumental in get
ting the Government pamphlet on
dogs published.
