SHREVEPORT, La.--If, during a bird hunt, the game should decide to take to the trees. it would be o. k. with Don, a bird dog belonging to A. F. Davis.
 Don. thoroughbred pointer climbs trees with lightning speed. He can be up the trunk and out on a limb Is feet from the ground in less time than it takes to tell about it.
 When Davis announced he had a bird dog that climbed trees, no one believed him. So that there might be no misunderstanding he invited a photographer to make pictures of Don in action.
 It all started when Davis used a rubber mouse to keep his dog in shape during the off season. He hid the mouse; Don would find it. Once he put it up a tree, thinking the dog would not be able to get It there. But he was mistaken = Don went right up the tree.
 Now it's easy for the pointer. A swift spring from the ground takes him almost six feet up the trunk of a tree. He lands climbing and his claws dig in.

NO SKI TRIP ON SUNDAY, RACERS

Heath Succeeded in CCC Duty by Chipperfield
 of Admiralty

Because of the desire of most Of the skiers to utilize the fine pow der snow blanketing the slopes. for this week lend to get in some prac- tice runs over the new downhill course in the Douglas Ski Area, the trip along the ridge from the cabin and basin which had been planned has been postponed, it was an- onunced today by Irvine Noble, race committee chairman.
 for tomorrow by the Juneau Ski Club
 Winds sweeping the upper reaches of the trail also are cause of post ponement, as it is thought they may make the higher slopes uncomfort- able for travelling.
 With at least one, possibly two, races set for the new course. within the next few weeks, most of the more enthusiastic mountain sliders are training their sights toward choosing their course for the races. The events are to be run point to point with. each competitor being required only to start and finish at the designated spots at the top of the new hill and by the shelter cabin at the Treadwell ditch. The route to be run is open to the indi- vidual choosing of the skiers, bases upon their own beliefs in their ab- ilities to surmount the interven- ing hazards.

MODERN CONCERT IS AppLAUDED BY
 LARGE AUDIENCE
Clever Musical Presented Last Evening by School
 Music Department

Tn a setting of Deep Purple" the Juneau High School band. under the direction of Robert White, instru- mental music instructor, displayed splendid talent last evening in pres entation of the Peter De Rose vel our musical pattern, which was said to have been inspired by the blaze of rich colors of the rainbow.
 A modern theme was carried all through the musical. presented by the High School Music Department in the Grade School Auditorium, which was filled to capacity by a large and appreciative audience.
 Following the first group of sell ections by the band, Manhattan Serenade" was played as piano solo by Miss Maxine Hostrand, whose rendition of Louis Alters modern number received prolonged applause.
 One of the outstanding presenta- tions of the program, and worthy of much praise, was Schubert's im- mortal, Unfinished Symjhony." the first movement of which was ex- cellently interpreted by the High School orchestra. Song of India" was another selection of the even- ing's musical, beautifully sung by trio composed of Miss Ruth AL len, Miss Charlene Arnold and Miss Idabelle Dobson, while the orchestra formed background as a perfect accompaniment for the singers. 'Malaguena' by Ernesto Lecuona, also is deserving of mention, which selection ended the orchestral group.
 Harry Watkins, accompanied at the piano by Miss Maxine Nostrand, played a trumpet solo, My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." which was well received by the large audience.
 As closing selection, "On the Trail from the Grand Canyon Suite" was presented in an appro- priate setting which was flashed upon a transparent screen behind which played the High School band. providing a perfect effect for the number. "On the Trail" tells story of a cowboy, astride his horse with his burros, en route through the Grand Canyon. Throughout the sel- ection the bray of the burro is heard as he plods along, the bray being schoed by an answering call from other burros as yet untamed.
 Last evenings concert was one of the most outstanding musical pres entations of the Juneau High School, music in the modern mode being superbly given, with excellent tim ing and interpretation developed by the players, under the direction of Robert White.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

In a recent State Board of Health
survey, prices of cereals ranged from
three to forty-five cents per pound.
This price range does not correspond
to any similar range in food value OF
the different cereals.
Cornmeal, oatmeal. and rolled
wheat are the cheapest cereals in
Delaware at the present time.
Bulk cereals are cheaper than
small packages. Five pound quanti-
ties of cornmeal. rolled oats and
rolled wheat can be purchased from
your grocer or feed dealer. and are
usually the cheapest cereals avail
able.
Some home-cooked cereals are more
expensive than some ready-prepared
cereals. In the list which was in
cluded in the Board of Health sur
vey there were six home cooked and
two ready-prepared cereals which
cost fifteen cents a pound or less;
four home-cooked and seventeen
ready prepared cereals which cost
from fifteen to thirty cents and one
home-cooked and five ready-prepared
which cost more than thirty cents
per pound.
Figure out what price you are pay
ing per pound for the cereal you buy.
The weight is always included on the
package label.
If you are paying less than fifteen
cents per pound. you are buying eco
nomically. If you are paying from
fifteen to thirty cents a pound. you
are not economizing. II you are
paying over thirty cents you are not
getting your moneys worth.
Dark cereals have more iron and
more vftamins than refined cereals.
The less refining that there is. the
cheaper is the manufacturing pro-
cess. For these two reasons dark
cereals are usually more economical
than light cereals. They contain
more food value per pound and usual
ly cost less.
Since cereals are used most ex-
tensively by low-income families. it
is essential that these families study
their cost carefully.
