Wren Had Last Laugh
On Critical Councillors

Sir Christopher Wren, builder of
st. Pauls cathedral, and many
other famous churches, was part
ly responsible for the Town Hall
of Windsor, in 1886, but the good
councillors had misgivings about
his work.
They complained to him that the
big hall had no pillars to support
it, and despite Wren's assurances
that it had been designed that
way and was safe, demanded that
supporting pillars be placed in po-
Sition.
Wren agreed to do so, and had
four pillars erected. But some
years later it was discovered that
the pillars came one inch short of
reaching the ceiling.
How the famous architect must
have laughed up his sleeve. He
was quite sure of his own judg-
ment, and time has proved him
right.

without having seen it. Yet the
bark of dog is not merely a
bark. 1t is language which the
dog lover soon learns to understand
the bark of alarm, of joyful greet
ing, of pain, pleading, protest, and
a dozen more.
Among themselves, dogs plainly
have language, MISUNDERSTOOD
means of communication. How
many times have you noticed your
dog, lying quietly at your feet while
a neighbours dog barked steadily,
suddenly prick up its ears at a
subtle change, a new note in the
distant barking, and rush out to
look into the matterl
To a dogs amazingly sensitive
hearing even the sound of a partic-
ular automobile is easily recogniz-
able. A dozen cars may enter the
driveway in the course of the day
and the dog takes no notice. But
let the masters motor turn into the
drive and the dog is on his feet,
ready to greet him.

World War Mercy Army Remobilized
AS Red Cross Speeds Aid to Europe
BY KATHERINE LEWIS

WASHINGTON. = Knitting
w needles are clicking and
sewing machines are hum
ming. From every corner of
America come children's
clothes and hospital garments
for wounded, all bearing the
symbol of mercy that recalls a
similar era % years ago-the
Red Cross label.
Today this army of mercy
brings relief to stricken pop
ulations of European belligerents,
especially Polish refugees and
French evacuees who have taken
refuge in rural areas.
Sewing in chapter rooms, in their
homes, church parlors, women's
clubs and especially fitted sewing
rooms provided by cooperating
merchants and property owners,
volunteers are giving their services
to Red Cross chapters. They're
making garments and surgical
dressings for war zone operating
rooms, to be shipping in space do
mated by American and foreign ships
leaving our ports.
Utilize World War Experience.
Today's crisis capitalizes on the
experience of 1914-18, the drouth of
1930-31 and numerous other Red
Cross experiences. But there's a
cheerier note in the use of bright
colored yarn for sweaters, socks,
caps, mittens and muff1ers, replac-
ing the drab khaki and blue wool
used during the World war. Dresses
are also being made in any of eight
special patterns, made from bright
colored cotton flannels or other wash
materials. a.
The Red Cross wants its clothing
to bring not only comfort, but pleas
ure too.
Fast production and efficient or
ganization are traditions of the
American Red Cross. In 1930-31 a
total of 100000 garments were
given to distressed neighbors at
home. In the World war some 8,000,-
600 women volunteered their serv-
ices. It is a matter of national
pride that Americans always re-
spond to the plea for help, nor is
the present crisis an exception.
Without sacrificing its domestic pro-
grams of accident prevention edu-
cation and disease prevention, the
Red Cross is taking its new job in
stride.

Other Silent Dogs.
Other dogs are silent while in ac-
ton, though perhaps for different
reasons. The fighting dogs of the
old English dog-fight pits-bull ter
riers known as business dogs"
among followers of that brutal
'game-fought to the death without
an outcry. 1t seems logical to think
that this characteristic was devel-
oped for efficiency. While it is not
true that "a barking dog never
bites" it is impossible to do both at
the same instant. The dog that
barked instead of biting lost its hold
or its opening, very likely its life.
Speed is the greyhound's special
ty, and here, too, the bark seems
to have bowed to efficiency. Grey
hounds and whippets will bark be-
fore the start, but if they bark while
racing they are looked upon as hav-
ing some alien blood in them.
These slender speedsters, like
whiplash in action, run by their
legs and eyes and not by their nose,
as do other hounds; and every
ounce of breath must be turned into
speed, not noise.

claim its pleasure aloud on discov-
cry of the scent.
Foxhounds Enjoy Work.
There are few sweeter sounds in
all outdoors than the music of a
pack of foxhounds in full cry. You
can tell the hounds are enjoying
themselves. This is the work they
love; this is what they were bred
fort Their stirring cry, ringing
through hill and dale, tells the
skilled huntsman the story of the
chase, though he may be long way
off. Individual voices are recog-
niZed.
"Hark to the Marmaduke!" cries
the huntsman. 'Hark to Hannibal!
Hark to Valiantl Hark to Sorcer-
essi"
English foxhounds, and those used
by hunt clubs in this country, too,
are generally given sonorous,
notwithstanding names, often
times of three syllables. They are
effective, too. Think how much
more ear-filling it is to hear clark
to Marmaduke!" than clark to
Bod!" or "Hark to Jim!"
In the choir of the hounds, If all
could be running together, the bass
would be the deep-throated bay of
the bloodhound and the otterhound.
1t is impossible to express that
deep, booming, resonant note on
paper.
Voices Reveal Traits.
Next in order come the baritones
of the pack: the French hound, the
old English barrier, and the Amer
lean foxhound. Their voices reveal
that all have some bloodhound in
them. The American foxhound is
descended from the pack of French
hounds brought to this country by
Lafayette and presented to General
Washington.
These hounds, of Norman blood,
were bred with English foxhounds,
such as those brought here by Lord
Baltimore of Maryland and other
sportsmen of colonial days.
English foxhounds, their voices a
bit higher pitched, might be ikened
to the tenors in the choir, and the
beagles, with the highest note of all
the hounds, are up toward the So
prano end of the scale.
