Well. the guinea pigs settled down in our
cellar and one afternoon found the cellar
floor literally covered with pets.
In those days my heart was smaller than
it is now and was able to love, at most.
no more than 80 or 40 guinea pigs. was in
a quandary. Did you ever spend an after
noon in quandary with 96 guinea pigs?
Sell them, my brother Harpo suggested.
IF that" I replied. lis all you have to
say. you ought never to bother to speak
again"
And to this day Harpo has remained
silent, and I can't tell you how pleased I've
been.
Sad Decision
ANorEER brother, Chico. came into the
cellar and he, too, said, Sell them" (When
l suggested that he, too, remain silent from
then on. he compromised by offering to
speak in broken English, which he, too. does
to this day.
Anyway, being overruled. went out with
Chico to nearby pet shop and offered to
sell 96 fine guinea pigs for 20 dollars.
"I1l do better than that, the dealer said.
.'IT give you 100 guinea pigs for nothing"
For good, all-year-round pet, I don't
believe there is anything to compare with
a simple, unpedigeed chorus girl. Like the
Maltese cat, the chorus girl becomes at
tached to any man who feeds her. But there
the resemblance ends.
For, whereas you can take the Maltese
cat to the basement for saucer of milk,
the chorus girl insists on eating on the roof,
where there is dancing and SO cover
charge.
Not a poor mans pet, the chorus girl.
But am saving my money.

IS A DOG IA 4

Well, to help you decide. might point
out that dog already has fur coat 1t
lasts lifetime And if you and your dog
ever split up. he doesn't go to court and
ask for 10 bones week more than you earn.
Only once has dog disappointed me.
That was the time l took Alonzo, a big
St. Bernard, home from the studio. He had
been working in picture. earning IL dollars
a day, and he seemed lonely. would have
been even happier to get dog with the
spirit of the late Rim Tin Tin who used to
bring home 800 bucks week.
However, Alonzo was very intelligent
beast and his habit of running off with our
brandy was, supposed, typical of st. Ber-
nards, although many of my two-footed
guests have done the same thing.
was a little annoyed when Alonzo re-
fused to eat our food. preferring to take
his meals at a nearby delicatessen. CNot
that the food at our house is good; don't
want people to get that idea.) But kept
my trap shut. After all. Alonzo was earn
ing IL dollars day, which was IL dollars
more than was getting at the time.
After he. had been with us week, had
the shock of my life. On a Saturday night,
just as got through marking the liquor
level on my brandy bottles. little man
stuck his head out of Alonzo's skin and
asked for his salary - IL dollars day
OF course I should have suspected that
something was wrong the day my wife came
into the living room with the cat. Instead
of chasing the cat as dog should. Alonso
chased my wife.
Possibly it was this incident which gave
rise to the ugly rumor that was not dog
lover. People stopped inviting me to their
homes - just as they had once before
Q907 to 194O); ladies walked by without
troubling to curtsey. and even my barber
cut me. That hurt. Nevertheless, to me it
was enough that my dog kept faith in me.
MY OVERWHELMING affection for dogs does
not mean. of course, that have no love
for other pets. All my life have had ami
mails of one kind or another around the
house. even if it was only small distant
relative or termite.
Once when was child, was given
pair Of guinea pigs which, with only little
difficulty. l learned to love like brothers.
Learning to love my brothers wasn't easy

Domei gave this account of To-
kio under air attack for the first
time in its history:
In the downtown districts of

Street financial center of Toxic, re-
spectively) business flowed on as

Toxic. Yokohama, Nagoya and Kobe,
except Osaka, the Chicago-Pitts-
burgh Of Japan, with a population
of 100000; nearby Kyoto, popula-
ton 100000, and the naval bases
of Yokosuka, Kure and Sasebo.
None of these bases is mentioned
in the Toxic broadcasts, but Yoko-
suka, greatest of them all, might be
considered included In the Toxic
Yokohama district, being only 20
miles from the latter.
There can be only speculation as
to the points from which the raid
ers came until Washington chooses
to tell its story, which will not be
until our command is sure that all
the planes are back that are COM
ing back.
These are some of the possibih-
ties: Naval planes from a task
force" which moved under cover Of
the North Pacific's April fogs down
upon Japan from the Northeast
with big ships and destroyers pro-
tecting aircraft carriers; 1ong-range
bombers based at Dutch Harbor or
elsewhere in the Aleutians, although
such craft would have little chance
Of reaching safety, Dutch Harbor
being nearly 5000 miles from Toxic;
land planes based at secret fields In
the Philippines; land planes from
somewhere in Eastern or Central
China.
The apparent ease with which the
raiding planes reached Toxic unde-
tected suggests that Japan has sent
so great a proportion of her fleet to
the Southwestern Pacific and the
Indian Ocean that her eastern ap-
proaches have relatively little naval
protection. If this is true, the raid
may have far-reaching strategical
consequences.
1t may remind the japanese COM
mand that the Pacific is not a Jap
anese lake, that the air arm of the
United States has a long reach and
a mighty punch and that some of
those battleships and aircraft car
riers ranging the Bay of Bengal
might better be used nearer home.

been diSpelled by victories.
The reminder that the United
Nations still can strike clear to the
heart of Japan came as the Satur-
day crowds were filling the streets.
We can forget Domei's picture of
unhurried lunchers. On the other
hand we would not be justified in
assuming that the result was panic
or widespread dismay. The Japanese
have been toughened up for this
war pSychologically just as they
were prepared to the utmost indus

been told they must expect bomb

the flimsy homes.
But when the incendiaries fall it
must have a chilling effect on count
less japanese spirits. All but the
youngest generation know what
scourge fire is when it breaks loose
in their closepacked, light wood
houses.
Homes Are Tinderlike.
Midtown Toxic has many modern
steel and concrete structures, but
nineteen-twentietns of the city,
especially the industrial slums,
is made of tinderlike materials. 1t
was on another Saturday noontime
when the holiday spirit ran high
that the great earthquake of 1923
struck, setting fires that leveled most
of Yokohama and nearly all Toxic.
Considerable sections of those cities
still consist of Jerry-built structures.
Many government departments
still are housed in flimsy. wooden,
post-quake barracks" as the Japa-
nese call them. There was no money
for building when a new Army and
Navy was being built.
If We accept the Toxic accounts
and read bit between the lines we
can conclude that the raiders wasted
little on secondary targets. Their
course seems to have run down the
southeastern coast of the main is
land, where the six greatest cities
are concentrated within less than

Government under single head
move which has been the subject
OF intense behind-the-scenes con-
troversy for months-the President
directed that the present labor divi-
sion of the w. p. B. should be re-
organized into a Labor Production
Division directly responsible to Mr..
Nelson.
Importantly affected by the new
setup are the 100000 men from
as through 64 years of age who are
to register April 27. Selective serv-
ice was given authority only to reg
lister them, since they are not liable
for military service.
Through selective service, occu-
pational questionnaires, providing
an inventory of skills, are being sent
to the men previously registered.
The questionnaires are also supposed
to go to April 81 registrants.
The QUESTIONABLE contain a sec
ton to be forwarded to the United
States Employment Service. already
under Mr.. McNutt, and another sec
ton for the national roster of scien-
tific and specialized personnel. The
third section of the questionnaire,
duplicating the information on the
other two, will be retained by Sc
lective service.
Several Agencies Transferred.
The Presidents order also directed
several transfers of existing agen-
cies and functions.
The apprenticeship section Of the
division of labor standards of the
Department of Labor and the train
ing functions of the w. P. B. labor
division were transferred to the
Federal Security Agency. The la
Dor supply functions of the w. P. B,
labor division, the national roster
of scientific and specialized person
mel of the Civil Service Commission
and the Office of procurement and
assignment in the office of defense,
health and welfarce services were
placed within the framework of the
new commission.
The order specifically provides
that the apprenticeship section and
the national roster shall retain their
organiZa tional entities despite their
transfers. In addition, it was pro-
vided that personnel of all the af-
fected agencies shall be transferred
unless the number is in excess of
needs.
In defining the precise functions
of Chairman McNutt, the order con-
tains six subsections.
First of these directs him to form
ulate plans and to establish basic
national policies to assure most
effective man power mobilization.
Power to issue the necessary direc-
tiveS is specifically given.
Man Power Estimates Required.
The second calls for his estimates
of man power requirements for in
dustry and a review of other esti-
mates of military, agricultural and
civilian man power needs. This Sec
ton further specifies that he may
direct the, Government agencies ''aS
to the proper ALLEGATION of available
man power"
The third provides for collection
and compilation of labor market
data by Federal departments and
agencies.
The fourth authorizes the chair
man to establish policies and pre-
scribe regulations governing all Fed
eral programs relating to the re-
cruiting, training and placing of
workers.
