your dog, his coat is almost en-
tirely dependent upon grooming
him a few minutes each day.
On this subject let me say that
most breeds both small and
large, except some very short
haired ones, have two layers Of
hair; a soft woolly or under coat
which is concealed by the longer
coarser hair. Under ordinary
conditions, the under coat is
shed at least once each year. but
in hot climates and steam
heated city dwellings, this takes
place much more often.
It should be noted, however,
that shedding varies with the
individual dog and is generally
determined by his habitat and.
climatic conditions.
Combing and brushing your
pet with the proper utensils, de-
pending upon the breed, is a
most important factor in the
care Of the coat. Toy dogs. such
as the Pekingese, would find lit
tie satisfaction, for instance, in
the kind of a wire brush in
tended for the heavier coats of
larger dogs. Many varieties of
grooming tools are available at

to recommend the necessary
articles. You will find that

find it impossible for me to
say just how often a dog should
be bathed. I will, nevertheless,
make the following observa-
tons: Washing is usually more
frequently necessary in the sum-
mer than in winter and makes
the life Of your animal a hap
pier one. Most dogs like to be
bathed and a bath pleaSeS them
even though they may pretend
not to enjoy it. The natural oil
in a healthy dogs hair gives
gloss to 1t and If fed and
groomed correctly, bimonthly
bathing during this period of
the year will not prove harmful.
I would suggest that when your

skin ailment.

MILE RECORD
seen IN meet
BY LAYTON CARVER

BY LAYTON CARVER
International News Service Sports EdltOI
PRINCETON, N. j., June 1a
G.N.SO San Romani, the
musical miller from Kansas, pre-
diets that late this afternoon an
all-time new world mile record OF
4:O3 will be set at Palmer Stadium
in the annual Princeton invita-
ton meet. Slightly unmodest, he
promises he will set the new rec
ord.
II will break the record for the
mile even if I have to go out and
set the pace myself" he said, and
with that virtually announced
that he will beat the irrepressible
Glenn Cunningham, who will run
against him.
It is quite generally understood
that at this time there is a slight
GOODNESS between San Romani and
Cunningham despite the fact that
they are fellow-Kansans, and the
mile race is expected to be some
thing to behold.
ANOTHER DUEL
But they won't meet only in
that one. They also are SEIZED
uled to run the three-fourthS-mile
race against each other and
against Josef Mostert, who holds
the record for the distance. Mos.
teri is a very fast Belgian who
was clicked in the accepted world
record time of 1904 for the three.
fourths.
In addition to the mile and the
three-fourths event, there will be
a number of features on the pro
gram, including the pole vault. in
which the field is headed by Ear
Meadows. the record-holder: the
IQuarter-mile run: the half-mile run
and the two-mile run.
Every event has drawn top
flight performers, but the mile
and the three-quarters event viii
be the features-with San Roman
and Cunningham fighting it out
in both against each other If the
form holds good.
HEATED COMPETITION
Sam Romani has been here
several days getting accustomed
to the fast Princeton track, while
Cunningham has trained else
where.
San Romani would rather beat
Cunningham than any other mar
in the world and vice versa-anc
thus it is more than a possibilit!
that a new world record will b.
set in either the mile or the three
| quarters.
, The mile standard currentl.
accepted is 4:06.4 set by Sydne.

and bitter experience Of being
knocked out Of the box on 10
pitches.
During the course Of his first
six consecutive throws he was
smacked for four consecutive
singles by Wasdeil, West, Lewis
and Myer. He then pitched four
straight balls to Travis. Auke1
was yanked at that point. The
inning netted Washington five
runs, for Case and Terrell followed
with singles against Jake Wade

 During the past few years, George, as he is called by Nome ties, has been prospecting and developing some very likely pla- cer ground in the Noxapaga sec ton of the Kougarok district, and is expected to return again next spring to further develop his mining ground.
