Pomeranian Dog Believed
German Province Native

Pomeranians were not always
diminutive dogs. These wee bits Of
dog flesh, however, had sturdy fore
bears back in the dim past. The
historians of the breed would have
it understood that Pomeranians
were bred down from husky dogs of
the northland, namely, Samoyedes,
Norwegian Elkhounds, Keeshounds
and Schipperkes.
The origin Of the Pom, as it is
popularity called, is a bit vague,
writes George Butz in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. A popular belief is
they were first whelped in a German
province, Pomerania, many years
ago, and hence their name. The
dogs that resemble our Pomeran-
ians are called Spitz in Germany.
They are much larger.
Pomeranians are one of the shin
ing examples of dwarfing in breed
ing. Years of cross and in-breeding
have reduced them to a tiny, perky
canine that has a fox-like head and
is clothed in an abundant coat of
two layers.
Despite the fact Poms have been
transformed into toy dogs from one
that weighed about 9 or 10 pounds,
they are just as durable as much
larger dogs. Unless they are PAM
pered these little fellows are real
frisky and can endure all kinds of
weather. Poms have a question
able air, they are very alert and
prove to be good house guardians.
The head of the Pom bears
striking resemblance to fox. Real
perky expression is due to brilliant
eyes and ears that stand erect at
all times. The Pom's face hair is
fine, but the body is heavy in coat
for such a small animal, especially
the standoff frill around its collar.
The hair through the body is so
thick it gives the dog a much larger
appearance. Serving like plume,
the tail arches gracefully upon its
back.

Shrine Founded in ITO

Entering the deer park Of Nara,
you pass through a great tori, or
front gate, of red wood and stroll
past many stone lanterns and wis
taria-festooned trees. Finally you
reach the vermilion-painted Ka-
suga-no-Miya, a Shinto shrine which
Fujiwara Fuhito founded in ITO. It
is dedicated to the original ancestor
of the Fujiwara family, who was not
far removed from the sun goddess,
and is one of Japan's most ancient,
venerated sanctuaries. A good ex-
ample of primitive Japanese archi-
lecture, the Kasuga shrine has often
been rebuilt like most Shinto tenn

England Has Plenty of Fish

Fish is the only ''home-produced"
food of which England has enough
to export, even though the average
Englishman eats IS pounds of fish
each year. English hook fishers
sometimes set out a line 8 miles
long, carrying over 5000 hooksl In
1870, says the Washington Post, a
group of English net fishers caught
"a, 900, 900 pilchards in one haul. So
heavy were these fish that they
spoiled before all were removed
from the net, and eventually had
to be sold as fertilizer!

The word "spider" may be cor

The web,. with its symmetrical
lines and circles, is one of Natures
wonders. The spider selects the
site, fixes a few stays and guy
ropes, then constructs from 20 to 30
radial lines, all proceeding from a
common center like the spokes Of
wheel. Working from the center,
she goes round and round, fixing
circles of web to the spokes until
she reaches the outside. A line is
made from the center where she
sometimes remains to sun herself,
to her lair, which may be two feet
or more away.
This line will carry a message to

Tapeworms Cut Profits

Tapeworms are spread by an inter.
mediary host, like flies, grasshoppers,
earthworms, and slugs, which start the
incubation of ripe" tapeworm seq
ments, and then transfer the segments
to the bird which eats them. Tape
worm troubles, therefore. are always
closely associated with insect time,
and are worse in late summer, fall, and
early winter. Tapeworms fasten
themselves so tightly to the intestines
of the birds that getting rid of them is
really difficult problem. The best
known drug for combating tapeworms
is kamala. Purina Tapeworm Kernels
are yellow corn-shaped kamala tablets
which are easy to administer A good
flushing of all birds before they are
dosed is good practice. Kernel treat
ment for tapeworms should be given
on a full crop. One-fourth pound of
baking soda in drinking water for 100
birds, given two days before treatment,
Is advised.

Mr. AnearnS saga OF sorrow
started yesterday afternoon at the
commission offices when two of
the Supernumeraries were turned
down. Goldie had to dig up three
new fighters to fill the vacant
spots and it was with some fear
in his honest heart that Goldie
watched the boxers and the near,
est exist in case the fight was
bad.
Even the presence Of Gary
Cooper, movie star, failed to shake
Ahearn from the doldrums. You
see, the house was bad.
"The gate it's terrible"
mourned Goldie. Maybe this
guy Cooper should feel at home
with these wide, open spaces in
the bleachers, but me, I'm sick"

day is seriously threatened by q
blocky little immigrant from
Italy who proved he could toss
punches as dextrously as he
scrambled adjectives.
Saverio Turiello, who detoured
through II countries before he
finally came to the United States
took another step down the one
way street to Barneys title by
outpunching, outgeneraling and
outgaming Johnny Lucas, OF
Camden, N. j., in the feature 10
rounder at Turner's, Arena last
night.
PLENTY OF LEATHER
Turiello displayed blindin g
speed and a style that gave vet
eran boxing observers nostalgia
for the good old days of Johnny
Dundee, the famous Scotch
Wop." Saverio fights like Dun
dee - even to the old rope
bouncing trick. Lucas found an
elusive target and time and again
was turned off balance by Turf
ello's feint. Johnny just couldn't
hit the bobbing Italian, and it
appeared at times as if Lucas
would need a road map to locate
his foe.
The Jerseyite started like a
sprinter, but finished like man
walking in quicksand with iron
boots. Lucas was game and took
enough right-handers to blow
over a heavyweight. The spade
nosed, black-haired Turiello was
old man perpetual motion and
fed the balG-headed Lucas a diet
of leather for 10 rounds.
Turiello captured seven rounds,
Lucas one and two were even.
After the bout, Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearo, between tear drops
at the poor turnout Of 1,400 fans,
said he planned to have TurieIo
box Phil FUR.
COOPER ON HAND
The biggest attraction on the
card was the unscheduled appear
ance of Gary Cooper, big strong
man of the cinema. Gary took a
bow like a real professional and
did more side-stepping than the
fighters in trying to avoid the
autograph pests.
Turiello, sweat pouring from his
chunky carcass, called Lucas one
of the toughest men he has met.
"EIe come in, all elbows" said
Saverio. "I try to hit him.
Boom. get head in my face. Or
maybe arms, from elbows up,
slap me. Good boy. Tough. I
fight here maybe again. I show
better next time"
Bob Wilson found that the
comeback trail is slippery-eSpe-
cially when time has worn the
resin off your ring shoes. Bob,
who has been absent from the ring
for year, lost a siX-round en-
counter to TootS Bernstein. The
kindest thing that can be said of
this fight is that both boys had
nice, new shoes. They were
pretty. But the boxers? They
weren't really mad at each other
anyway.
In the other bouts, Bill TemeS
