"FRANCON1A, Va.

Dear Sir:
Since coming to Virginia moro than
two years ago I've read your column
aloud to my two small sons. All three
Of us are interested In birds and animals
so really enjoy the daily articles.
I'm q recent article you treated the
feeding of animals quite well, but I
think perhaps I can help dog owners
especially.
"A little over year ago we were given
very expensive Sealyham dog because
the owner could no longer keep him In
an apartment In D. C.. He had been
raised on milk and a daily ration OF one
half pound ground beef and that for
five years, so his tastes were well set.
Nov my husband Is butcher but we
felt that too much for dog. So have
him bring scraps, kidneys, the piece re-
moved from the knee OF lamb legs,
tongue, or even hearts-any meat not
usually eaten by the average person,
yet suitable and good for base for dog
food.

fat, as base, I add diced carrots, onions,
celery tops, spinach and any vegetable
leftovers or odds and ends even
shredded cabbage-also barley pearls as
glutinous filler and make q delicious
smelling stew for the pet
1T has some salt added to bring out
the flavor and really smells good enough
for any one to want. have found II I
soak the kidneys, and two will do for a
weeks supply. overnight, the odor Is not
so bad cooking"
AFTER the stew is done I shred the
meat and pour the stew into quart Jars
usually two and pint-and seal while
hot. Then when cool I keep them in
the refrigerator.
"A cupful a day of this food and a
bowl of milk have kept this dog in ex-
cellent condition and never once have
purchased meat that Is now rationed.
feel people are complaining too loudly
over nothing. Fresh fish could be sub
stituted and used for cats If the animal
Is offered the food and nothing else, it
will eat sooner or later and learn to
like the food.
Il have had cats that I have mixed
food like this for, and they apparently
enjoyed their meals.
"As you say, a little ingenuity is
necessary but II the animal is worth
having he or it is surely worth spending
an hour a week preparing food that is
healthful for the pet Any one who sits
back and means about how terrible it is
going to be on the animals now that we
can't use can opener any more
shouldn't have pet is my outlook.
Sincerely yours, p. K. M"

you are betraying me-" she will say
as plain as words.
Here thought had q good home
with you. with plenty to eat, and now
all I am offered is kidney!
Surely there are millions Of salmon In
the streams.
What has become Of all those nice
round cans filled to the brim with de-
Icious salmon?
"And surely you do not mean to tell
me that there are no more lambs?
1T is difficult to believe.
I have always had better than
reasonable suspicion that you are per-
sonally responsible for the rainy day.
which do not like, but did not think
you would go back on your old friend
Penny by trying to starve her to DEATH"
This speech will be accompanied with
oe1t switch OF striped tail, which In
Itself will speak volumes.
The last can Of salmon Is on the shelf
shall we take 1t down, now, or save It
to future day?
1t might as well go now II there is
to be no real cat food hereafter, we
might as well get 1t over with.
Here you are. Penny, some Of your
favorite food
That's pretty good, eh? We will invite
11gey In of the back porch He is huge
this fall. If we are to believe his size
and the layers of fat upon his solid body,
this is going to be tough winter. Surely
there would be no other reason for him
being so fat. 1t will be interesting to
see how the months turn out.
Ingenuity. such as displayed by our
| correspondent, will be necessary, If car
nlverous pets are to be supplied and
kept In good trim to guard homes and
catch mice and other vermin
The trouble will come when everybody
rushes to get kidneys, hearts, etc.
| Whatever ingredients are used, the
formula must be- as suggested, in three
main parts, protein gluten and vege-
tables.
| 1t will be found that flavor has a
great deal to do with food for animals
as for human beings. The necessity
however, is for the incorporation of
plenty of protein In some form or other
Thick pea soup has been suggested
Lentils, stewed with scraps of meat, make
a dish liked by most dogs and some cats
The difficulty will come with the cats
Dogs will eat what is placed before them
because they will want to please their
masters, but the cats will eat only what
they like, because they please only them
selves at all times.

in which he said he was never baf-

from the way things are going in

petty dictators in whose qualifications
the public has had no reason to have
confidence. They have seen the New
Deal fading away under the attacks of
Republocrats like Tydings and Byrd. I
know of Democrats who voted the Re-
publican ticket for such reasons. They
were poor. not rich.
Although the poor probably know that
they could expect no better treatment
from the Republicans, their votes were
dictated by resentment rather than by
hope, and that resentment will probably
increase in the next two years unless
some effort is made to return the Gov
eminent to the people.

Continues Discussion
OF History in Schools.
To the Editor of The Star:

With respect to the neglect of Ameri-,
can history in many school systems, the
modest observations of this former peda-
gogue have brought comments from
sundry sources. I quote part of a letter
from prominent attorney who is chair
man OF selective service board in a
Virginia city. He writes: TT is pretty
obvious that for long time the tend
ency has been to teach civics and the
social sciences instead of history in the
public school systems throughout the
country. This tendency exists not only
in the teachers college and as natural
consequence in the public school sys-
TENS, but seems to be equally true in
the endowed colleges and institutions
throughout the country. 1 have had
occasion to see quite bit recently of
men going into the service. They not
only do not know American history and
the background on which this war is
based. but they have lot of carefully
nutured false ideas which tend to unfit
them for the realities of life"
From another State comes the follow
ing 1ndlctment by leading education
list" which holds out the hope of reform
in our teachers colleges: During the
depression we demanded that the school
build a new social order. Now we are
requiring that our school children solve
the economic, social and political prob
lens which the wisest men of the past
have failed to solve and which few If any
Of the teachers Of our children are
capable of solving"
Consulting school files" or quoting
any observer of the class observed" Is
not the only way to find out what is
going on In the classroom. The better
way. or certainly the complementary one,
IS to question the pupils out Of school
who are not asked questions In school.

sumer Now the farmer is getting SO
cents. This is the best share he has had
since 1920, but at one time during the
last war he was getting so cents out of
dollar. The reason. the Department of
Agriculture statisticians say, is that while
actual food prices have gone up the
cost OF marketing, if anything, has de-
clined. 1t has been on the decline for
the past four years due they explain
largely ito the development of the super
market. This establishment, with it's
high rate of turnover, self-service and
large average sale has reduced labor re-
quirements and inventory costs in han
ding food. Super markets handle a
substantial part Of retail food sales and
their competitive influence is felt
throughout the field Of food retailing"
They have little idea, however. that
this happy state will continue indef-
initey. The super market has depended
largely on the automobile to bring its
customers to 1t. It usually has been
established in the outskirts OF a city.
With more and more family cars going
out OF use for the duration more ex-
pensive methods Of retailing will come
into vogue. In the past month or so
there have been signs Of a coming up
ward trend.
An important factor, they say, IS that
wage rates Of market workers have risen
only slightly in spite Of the competition
OF industry. Thousands are leaving to
enter factories and only substantial ware
increases, probably inevitable In the
next few months. can hold them behind
the counters. These extra wages must
b tackled On the families food bill.
