frankfurter is as streamlined as the
World of Tomorrow-and it doesn't
need the assistance of any Trylon or
Perisphere, either!
The packer has taken his best
grade of hot dogs and f1attened EN-

those surf mattresses that one sees

The flavor is the same, and only the
shape takes on new interest-but
privately we are given to wonder a
bit If our Nation is not becoming
somewhat enfeebled when we can
no longer be trusted to restrain a
frankfurter from rolling off its bed.
Sounds pretty sissy to us!

Memorial Day, more or less, Off

the opening of the picnic season.
Therefore, the markets are streSSing

of saying in company with ants,

galore, including such delicacies as
pork and cheese loaf, bologna, liver

There are potato chips and shoe

Joe noticed that from 7 to every
morning harasSed and hurried men
appeared on the streets with a dog
on a lead, giving Fido his morning
workout before dashing for the
office. And these same men ap-
peared around dinner time in the
evening or just before bedtime for
another canine constitutional
That gave Joe an idea. He way
laid several Of the men one morning
and offered to walk their dogs for
them twice each day for any fee
that suited them. Three of the four
men practically fell over themselves
in their eagerness to accept-and
Joe had business.
Before long he was forced to get
couple of helpers. He made a
regular schedule for all his dogs,
and as the word got around he had
more business than he could han
die. Soon he learned that by pick
ing the .pooches carefully he could
walk two at once-which doubled his
profits without increasing his
mileage.
Fees ranged from ST. to $3.50 per
week, depending on the dogs dis
position and the owners bargaining

Boarding Pets

Another doggy money-making idea
was worked out by Hazel H., who
lives in small Southern town. Most
of the solid citizens in the COM
munity take long vacations to escape
the heat. Hazel has a dog of her
own, and a well-fenced yard. She
offered to take care of some of the
neighbors pets while they were
away, charged less than standard
boarding kennel rates, and had from
three to five dogs on her hands
during every week of the summer.
She fed them according to in
structions left by the owners, Shelf
cred them in small houses built by
her brother, and kept them well
groomed and happy. BY dividing
the yard with wire fencing, she was
able to keep pugnacious pooches
apart, and she didn't have a serious
fight all summer. The owners were

Asparagus is very inexpensive now,
and some markets are selling it by
the pound rather than by the bunch,
which makes it nice for some one
who keeps house on small scale
and gets tired of looking at bunch
long before she is able to get it all
eaten up.
The first Bing cherries are with us
and are most welcome. Peaches,
surprisingly, have also put in an
early appearance; they are full of
flavor, but for the time being will
be better stewed than eaten raw.
Cantaloupes from California are de-

Dorothy Dix Says
Nothing So Pitiful as Middle.Aged
Woman Trying to Be Youthful

Dear Miss Dix-My wife and are
both nearly 43 years of age and our
marriage has been a grand success
except for two things. My wife re-
fuses to be her age and insists on
dressing like a f1apper and acting
even younger than a debutante. Also,
she tries to initiate the younger set
in the matter Of drinking and show
that she can keep up with those who
aretabout IS years her junior. How
can 1 diploma tically show her that
she is only making herself conspic-
'uous and embarrassing our good
friends as well as myself?
r. M. w.
Answer:
Goodness knows. I don't. When a
woman gets the perpetual youth
complex, it is virtually incurable, be-
cause she never sees herself as she
is, but always the way she would like
to be.
You would think that with mirrors
on every side of her she would see
that a hat that looks ravishing on
16 looks like-well, you know the
place am thinking about-on 40
odd; that knee-length skirt turns
her into a figure of fun instead OF
something to follow down the street.
But she doesn't. She is blind to her
fat or her bones and nobody On
earth could convince her that she,
herself, is the only person fooled
by her. dyed hair.
When she tries to act young, her
guardian angel must turn its head
aside and weep, for nothing is so
ludicrous and pitiful as middle
aged or elderly woman ogling men
with poor, old tired eyes, and trying
to be gay and f1irtatious and teas
ing herself about her conquests.
Age has dignity If it is accepted and
lived up to and it has charm of
its own, but mother dancing the
Lambeth Walk with her stiff old
joints creaking has nothing from
which we do not turn away in horror
and disgust.

so few people that you can tell
them beforehand in which of the

Job Of Moving Huge SnowmobiIe
Across State Fails to Daunt Cons

BOSTON, Oct. 10. CUP)-Slightly
self-satisfied state police ended a
conference today with the an
nouncement they could move Ad-
miral Byrd's snowmobile across
Massachusetts without hitting a
barn-by using an airplane, scores
of automobiles and motorcycles and
a two-way radio.
With but ten days to prepare for
their task, the bluecoats called
state officials and traffic engineers
to cope with the problem of mov-
ing the 19-foot 8-inch wide vehicle
over roads that at some points are
but 20 feet wide.
Anticipating over 100000 spec
tators, special police squads will
guard areas where the 55-long polar
pullman will overlap narrow high
ways, hoping to prevent curious
from being moved down.

difference between the appropria-

vices would be $1,500,O00 for a two

Need for the refuge, as outlined
by government men, hinges on
what is known as feather edge
along the Seas rim which results
in thousands of deaths among wild
birds each year.
Feather edge as I understand
it, is where the Sea has risen and
then subsidized, leaving sections of
drowned plant life to petrify. Ducks
that feed in these spots are poison
ed," Hewes said.
Regardless of any possible federal
offers, the district, which owns
most of the region in mind, will
not be in a position to deal for
several years, Hewes indicated.
I'VE don't know-can't know
what problems the next few years
will bring nor what demands will
be made for outlets into the Sea
AS soon as the drainage and waste
water system is more clearly out
lined we will be able TO discuss the
matter more intelligently," he said
Federal men had considered build
ing dikes at point beyond which
they felt the Sea would not recede,
thus protecting the shoreline from
occasional innundation. Beyond
the dikes feeding ponds could be
arranged and land put into duck
feed.
A large section already has been
made into a game preserve at the
southend of the sea, but the pro-
posed project would greatly in
crease its scope. The district now
holds many thousands of acres
