authofess Margaret Halsey. gives
some suggestions 10 Junior Hostess

ing with Negro Servicemen at the
Stage Door Canteen." She tells the
girls among other things, "You un-
consciously. but very srrogantly as
sumo that no male Negro can so
much as glance ut you without
wanting TO get you with child The
truth Is, that while you are an ex-
tremely attractive group Of young

tsey adds, The real basis Of preju-
dice against Negroes is economic

Ofttlmes, large projects grow from
small beginnings. Mrs. Harry
Frantz has been working for some
years on an idea wrich gives prom
Use of being in that class. 1t all
started with acquaintances in for
eign countries sending gifts to Mrs
Frantz'S young daughter Jean. BY
arrangement, these gifts became
dolls, often quite rare ones.
From this collection of dolls, Mrs
Frantz derived the idea of a mu-
scum for children in which all in
formation would be presented, at
tractively and painlessly, through
the medium of dolls. There would
be curator who could use the dolls
to illustrate the answers to the
childrens' questions.
Mrs. Frantz first sold the idea to
her husband. The. details of the
plan may have changed somewhat
as time passed, but with her hus-
bands aid she has attempted to
realize her dream.
At one time Mr.. and Mrs. Frantz
even considered making their home
into the museum while they went
elsewhere to live. Unfortunately
there proved to be good reasons why
this could not be done. They next
interested a wealthy citizen in the
plan, and the future looked bright
indeed, but the patron died before
he could make the necessary ar
rangements. -..
At present, Mrs. Frantz,s scheme
is being backed by the Dollology
Club. The Research Committee OF

The rabies situation in the Dis
trict and nearby Virginia is proving
more serious and more annoying
than any recent outbreak. There is
no doubt that there have been a
number of cases of this disease re-
Gently, but that is no sign that every
dog found wandering the streets and
painting from heat and lack of water
has rabies. There is no reason for
crying mad dog" every time an un-
accompanied dog is seen. 1t Is a
reason for keeping your own dog
in his own yard or his own house,
unless he can be accompanied by a
responsible adult or older child. The
District law states that no dog may
be turned loose unless muzzled or
on leash. The dog on leash may be
controlled or put out of harms way
when danger threatens. The poor
muzzled dog is at the mercy of any
rabies-infected dog that may cross
his path. He cannot even sell his
life dearly.
This may be the very time when
all local dogdom may derive great
benefits from evil. The evil is the
current rabies situation. The pos
sible benefits may be with the CO.
operation of the citizens of this area
and the law enforcement agencies,
the cleaning up Of the stray dog
problem which has so long vexed
downtown Washington and all its
suburban areas. This is the time to
pick up all stray dogs, all unlicensed
dogs, all unwanted dogs. If you
have q dog that presents more prob
lem than pleasure, 1t is up to you,
now. to take him either to the pound
or the Animal Rescue League. II

Water Panic'.L
To Most DroWninos
By ID. II, ELSOM.

1t is a pathetic fact that most of
the persons who drown each sum-
mer lose their lives on account of
water panic"
: Almost anybody can keep his head
above water, even though he cannot
swim stroke if he will lie quietly
on his back, keep his lungs full of
air, hold his head we'll back and keep
his hands under water. The water
may come up over his chin and may
splash into his ears with a frighten-
ing sound, but he will not sink as
long as his lungs are we'll filled with
air.
The trouble with most people who
cannot swim is that they become
frightened If they find themselves in
deep water. They begin to shout
and yell, which exhausts the air
from their lungs, and as soon as
they go under the surface, the water
rushes into their open mouths. Then
they throw their hands up in the
air, which forces their heads still
deeper under water. This is the
way that water panic" leads to
tragedies.
The pity of it is that it is all so
easy to avoid. Even if the person
in the water has not the slightest
idea of how to swim, he can stay
above water by floating on his back
quietly, keeping his lungs expanded
and padding gently with his hands
under water.

News From Dogdom

there Is a dog in your neighborhood
that is apparently ownerless, it is
your civic duty to report him to the
proper agency. If you have a dog you
value, it is up to you to see that
he is properly confined at all times.
Once he is picked up by the dog
catcher. in these days, it is going
to be much harder than it used to
be to get him back. Also, the dog
catcher is-and should be-much
more vigilant than ever before.
A number of nearby kennels have
indicated an interest in securing the
