 Senator Danaher, of Connecti- cut, asked McKellar if he had ever heard about Sergeant Ber- nard Early, of New Haven, and his part in the. York heroisn. The man from Tennessee had never heard of Early but Danaher promises that he will and that Early,s part in the episode will be printed in the Congressional Record. Maybe we can get MT.

He Doesn't Pick
 August to GO Mad in
RY LuTHER EYANs

N 0A AO ANAGW HWANB
 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Rye, N. F., Aug. 7--We're in the dog days"--those hot, sticky days that "get you down." They call them "dog days" because once 1t was popularly believed that muggy August is the period when dogs are very likely to go mad. Most people know better now, and, when they see a pup running around with a little froth on his mouth, don't scream for cop to shoot him.
 MAD DOG PERIOD" IS A MYTH
 The truth is dogs seldom go mad. But when one does kick over the traces in hot weather, it is usually because an minimizing master has forced the animal into too much exercise and over -exertion. That's the opinion of Russell Openshaw, who manages the largest Scotch terrier kennel in the country, the Relgalf Kennels on Mrs. Jean Flag Ter Matthews estate here.
 After 30 years of kennel operat- ing, Openshaw has yet to have his first mad dog case. So his list of cautions for dog owners carries the banner of success.
 Openshaw first emphasizes that dogs are subject to heat exhaus- tion as are human beings and

VISITING NURSES
 CHECK NUTRITION
Many Foods Contribute to Health, Growth of
 Family

An opportunity to teach what foods contribute to the health and growth of all members of the fam fly and to help them establish good eating habits is offered the public health nurse each time she visits a home, Hazel V. Dudley, director o1 the Bureau of Public Health Nurs- ing, and Elizabeth c. Nickerson, nutritionist, brought out today in the regular weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health over WTIC.
 Good eating habits and an inter- est in the right foods should be cultivated early in life. When ba- bies are ready for splid foods, the nurse shows how to meet this new situation so the child will accept and eat the food given as matter of course. Older children are dis couraged from eating candy and other foods between meals. It was emphasized that sweets should be given children at the end of the meal after they have eaten theii share of the important protective foods. Eating between meals dulls the appetite and interferes with inc terest in the next meal.
 Wise parents set a good example for their children by approaching lAealtine internationally, eating the right foods themselves and expect ing their family to eat what is served. They check the actual nutritional value of different foods against the cost as some of the in- expensive foods are most beneficial When cooked properly these foods are also, very tasty. Another means of cutting the food bill is to main- tain family garden and can the surplus. This means good eating for the family all winter at low cost.

sDOG DAYS" IS A LIBEL ON POOR EDO
Master Who OverwOrks Him Is Often to Blame


 Owners are prone to overfeed dogs In the summer, starches should be cut down in the dogs diet and raw meat substituted Raw meat tends to keep the coat in better condition, in addition to aiding the dogs health.
 If your pet seems to be panting too much, a little salt added to his drinking water will help. The water should be kept fresh put not cold.
 It is usually harmful to walk a dog too much in the heat. Best time to take the animal out for exercise is early In the morning or late in the afternoon. Bulldogs, especially, should not be exercised much as they gem erally have weak hearts.
 KEEPING A DOCS LIFE COOL
 Openshaw questions shaving or clipping dogs. The coat affords g certain amount of protection for the body, he points out. Nature usually takes care of thinning out the dogs coat in the summer. { There are dips which can be purchased at any drug store which aid in keeping fleas to a minimum and help keep the skin and coat healthy. A tablespoonful of the dip,. mixed with gallon of water, should be applied about once 8 month.
 If no other means are available for keeping the dog cool" Open- shaw smilingly adds, "the owner may put 8 chunk of ice in a tub, then turn an electric fan on it. That combination will air condi- ton the room satisfactorily for both man and dog"
