are loyal citizens and serve their
country. and their masters, with
devotion that would do credit to
any human. Not every dog can
qualify: he must. for instance. be
under fve years and over one: he
must be physically and mentally
sound, and while he doesn't have
to be pedigreed. he must be obedi-
ent. In short. dog Of character.
II you have an eligible dog Of
army age and want to enlist him,

branches within reach from prac-
tically everywhere. and they will
give him the necessary training. II.

way unsuited or unequal to his new
responsibilities and way Of life. he
will be returned. q better and wiser
dog for his experience. If he proves
himself obedient and intelligent
and worthy Of service, he serves for
the duration and is. on dismissal,
your dog again. At least you have
first claim to him.
Some Not Suited
The War Department wants dogs
for sentry duty, but has other uses
for them. Great Danes. Newfound-
lands. st. Bernards. the larger
breeds. also boxers. Dalmatians.
collies, airedales and shepherd
breeds are all eligible. unless they
have been so pampered and petted
that they have completely lost an
instructive distrust Of strangers.
We are all familiar with the res
cue work st. Demands have done
in the Alps and in other places.
Who. as child. hasn't treasured q
picture Of one of those great shaggy
rescuers. complete with barrel tied
around his neck. blowing through
deep snowdrifts to reach the side Of
the perishing?
But such work Is not the only
province Of the dog army. In Po-
land dogs are used to lay telegraph
wires, and everyone knows the high
efficiency to which the German
shepherd and police dogs have been
trained. Germany has not only
trained dogs for its own use. but
has supplied dogs to Japan as well.

diately after Pearl Harbor that

nance q canine militia until It was

army. It develops. however. that
the army has taken over most Of
the training.
The dogs keen sense Of smell Is
one of their invaluable qualiflca-
tions. In fact. q dog Is needed to
warn Of. rather than to attack, the
stranger or enemy. It's his masters
business to carry on at the first sig
nal from the dog, who Is the pro-
tector. the Waterman or sentry.
Knowing the deep love Of boy
for his dog, It Is not difficult to i'm
agine the affection the man gives
the dog who Is his companion and
protector, his second eyes and ears.

Keeping
Ahead of

BY Mary Moore

If you can embroider at all, sit down
and work your monogram or one single
initial on your best shirtmaker frocks.
Make them huge and scrolly. Gives
them that individual look. Many of
the girls are embroidering the Victory
symbol W.. on their pockets or
sleeves.
One manufacturer has put on the
market lovely rayon dress crepe in
soft pastels printed with the "V &. :"
theme in contrasting colors. Very new
and timely.
The most remarkable discovery of
modern dermatology which removes,
without pain, unwanted hair from
face, limbs or body is now being dem
onstrated in some of our foremost
beauty salons. Because the root is re-
moved with the hair, relief may be
had for several months and re-growths
are noticeably weaker and thinner
with each application. 1t has the ap-
proval of the medical profession and
the strictest chemical laboratories A
single application renders skin ala
baster smooth for weeks.
Do you clean your jewelry regularly
to make it glisten and sparkle? You
can buy jewelers. cleaning kits or
make your own. Lay pieces to be
cleaned in ammonia for few minutes.
Rinse in clear water and dry by roll

mind and attention off pigs and cows
