 WILLKIE'S DANGERS
 Those who accompanied Wen- dell Willkie on his trip round the world are still kidding him about the oriental dance staged for his benefit in Baghdad.
 When willkie and his party ar rived in the ancient Eastern city, one of his advisers, Gardner ("Mike'') Cowles, associate pulp fisher of the Des Moines Register Tribune and of Look magazine, inquired what there was to do in Baghdad. It is city of pie turesque oriental charm, and history which goes back to the days before Christ. However, its possibilities for entertainment did not seem to be varied.
 Someone told Cowles that one thing not to miss while visiting the city were the Dancers of Baghdad".
 Later, one of the local officials came to call on Mir. Willkie to inform him of the arrangements in his honor. This included gala dinner, at which there were to be speeches, distinguished guests from the government, and all the cut and dried routine usually laid out for visiting dignitaries.
 After this program was out lined, Willkie was asked: And what would you like for enter tainment?"
 What about the Dancers of
 Baghdad'?" suggested Mike
 Cowles.
 "Yes," said Willkie, what
 about these dancers I've been
 hearing about"
 In Baghdad, the officials of lraq aim to please. especially when anyone so important as a near president of the United States wis., its them. So, after a long, state ly and rather dull dinner, MT. Cowles, who sat beside the wife of the British Minister, was bit surprised to hear the announce 'ment:
 I've now present the Dancers
 of Baghdad,' at the request of
 MT. Gardner COwies, Jr."
 The wife of the British Ministex immediately turned disapprovS ing back. During the entire per- formance, she continued a con- cersation with MT. Cowles on versation with MT. Cowles - on archaeology.
 MT. Cowles is not an archaelo- gist. But he listened politely with little opportunity to watch the Dancers of Baghdad," whose performance he had inspired. CAPITAL CHAFF

 In view of the increased living costs and the shortages in some foods, it seems rather surprising that the demand for dogs is increas- ing sharply.
