Billy first learned to heel-that Is, to
travel with his head at the left knee
of his handler always; then to sit, to lie
down and finally to stay in one place
until called.

The toughest customers are those dogs
who like to chew each other. Some
brave, but foolish airedale will make q
pass at doberman and may have his
throat cut. Temperaments in the same
breeds differ. Most doberman pinschers
learn quickly. attack readily. but few
Of them sulk for week If they get q
hard jerk.
A 2-year-old dog takes training best,
says Hall. Those first simple lessons are
easily applied to any house dog. The
twirling end of a rope leash which dips
a dog on the nose when he presses for
ward; a gentle step on his back feet
when he surges past the knee, or a
walk along fence with the animal
nudged repeatedly into it If he presses
ahead, are methods of teaching him to
heel.

A pull on the leash and pressure from
fingers on a nerve center on the dogs
back Just In front of the hip bones, to-
gether with the command, condition him
to sit when ordered.
Each command. preceded by the name
of the dog, should be one word If pos
sible, says Hall. War dogs learn TO
respond to heel, sit, down, out. and
come and the degree of urgency Is
transmitted in the handlers voice.
Dogs for sentry, guard and attack duty
come mainly, says Hall, from such
breeds and their crosses as Belgian
sheep dogs. German shepherds, collies,
doberman pinschers, Dalmatians, stand
ard poodles airedale terriers, Kerry
blues or Siberian huskies.
Poodles? The standard poodle is a
bigger dog than most folks think. Bigger
than Dalmatian, for instance.
Sentry dogs usually operate with
man; guard dogs range on their own
about such things as war plants and
equipment; attack dogs are what the
name implies-they are attached to at
tack units
intruders, or just to growl, not bark,
warning and let the man do the fight
ing; guard dogs may not attack when
they first go on the job, but usually learn
to do so on their own.
Teaching to Attack.
Larger and more vicious terriers make
good attack dogs, the smaller, which can
raise plenty of vocal cain, are liked
especially by the Navy as watch dogs
about its wharves.
Hunting dogs-pointers and settlers, ex-
cept those trained to birds and thus likely
to stop in the execution Of a command
to point quail-can be taught to at
tack, and make good search dogs: ITO
ferret out spies, find wounded men, or
aid in locating people In an area which
must be cleared" says Hall.
Big, powerful, heavy-coated animals
like Labrador retrievers and Chesapeake
Bays, who don't mind water that is bitter
cold, can be taught to attack, be sent
into water to hunt of shore, or into
marsh lands where movement by boat is
difficult.
Bloodhounds and foxhounds are trail
ing dogs which can smell out escaped
prisoners. or some stranger passing
through section where he has no busi-
ness They also can be taught to attack.
Greyhounds are great for messengers.
A soldier trained to shoot man isn't SO
good at an elusive target like dog. Rus
sian wolfhounds and Afghan hounds also
make good messengers.
Breeds like Great Danes, st. Bernards
and Newfoundlands take the spotlight
as pack dogs. Hall says that with equip
ment which has been developed one man
can take 30 such dogs on battlefield
and bring in 80 wounded, as many as so
men could bring In on stretchers.

Wide World.
DALLAS, Tex.-A white -fanged. snarl-
ing dog, IS pounds OF fighting fury,
lunged at the half-crouched men who
menaced him.
The dogs mouth was agape, his teeth
were reaching for his enemy. Only the
tight leash in the tight grasp Of a soldier
held him of. He was a white frred
devil.
Six weeks ago, that same white collie
dog was considered something of a sissy.
But that was before he became a war
dog, while he still was pet named
Billy. living in Dallas apartment with
his owner, Miss Elma Love.
Then he came to the Texas recruiting
station of Dogs for Defense, Inc, and
in group including at least eight other
breeds, went to school to learn how to
help lick the Nazis and Japs.
Now, after tutelage by Sergt. Lionel
Turcotte of Rumford, Me, and Pvt.
Sidney Grossman of New York, whose
role was usually that of the well-padded
antagonist, he's real Army attack dog.
Billy and the others started their
lessons under Civilian Forest Hall-who
has been handling dogs more than 40
years since he trained stag hounds to
chase wolves while he was a boy on q
Wyoming horse ranch.
Army Needs Dogs.
Before they were half through the
eight-week course, the Army was asking
for 1000 dogs. and the quartermaster
general, Maj. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory,
finished survey showing the armed
forces could use 5000.
Dogs for Defense, Inc. a non-profit
organization, was formed after Pearl
Harbor by dog owners, breeders and
trainers, with the approval OF the Amer
ican Kennel Club, to accept donations
Of dogs for war training.
There were men in the Army who
knew what dogs could do. and what the
Germans and British were doing with
them. They found the idea good, so
good, indeed, that Billy and his group
were the last to get full training as
war dogs under Hall at his Dallas ken
nels-the Texas recruiting station.
Until the Army really got It's teeth
into the thing, his station received dogs
from several Southwestern States.
Now, under the expanding program,
there will be dogs for defense recruiting
stations in each State, and Army -estab-
Ished reception and training centers
throughout the country.
Such recruiting stations as Hall is
administering with the help of volunteer
trainers and detail of soldiers, now will
give the canine rockies their basic train

BY Frank I. Weller,

The Treasury tax man who dips into
your pockets once in while keeps his
hands in his own pockets practically
all the time.
1t is a characteristic habit of Randolph
E. Paul, tax adviser to Secretary Nor
genthau, to stick his hands in his coat
pockets while propounding before him
weighty revenue conferences. He's had
them in there, almost night and day, for
six months now while Congress has con-
sidered his 1912 tax proposals.
Paul is the Treasury's new general
counsel. too, bringing that Office directly
into the tax-advice business for the
first time since 1885, when Herman
Oliphant, then general counsel, suffered
the sings and arrows aimed at the
much-cussed and discussed undistributed
profits tax.
So far the Hackensack (N j. man,
now 50 years old and looking younger
every birthday, has asked Congress for
more tax money than any man in history
Paul wanted an additional $S,7oo, 900 900
written into the new law, but the House
held the increase to SC, 300 600, 900, which
would bring the total Federal tax bill
to $4,000 100000 for this year Some
say the Senate may give him less than
the House voted.
Genius of Taxation.
Now, ordinarily, that puts Treasury
tax man on his high horse After all,
he is the one who burns the midnight
oil figuring out how much new revenue
is needed, what the country can stand,
and where the dough may be picked up
with the least squawk.
But not Paul. He presents his
proposals to Congress, argues for them
with a skill and understanding rarely
seen in congressional tax debate, and
promptly shuts up If they are turned
down.
He learned this from experience OF
his predecessor, John L. Sullivan, who
always fought back. Sullivans classic
clash was with the late Pat Harrison
chairman of the Senate Finance Com.

When the City of Tacoma and Tacoma school district
