cent of this must be animal pro- tein. There have been hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on dog foods in peace time which have had less than z per cent animal protein in their content. The most important thing is to choose a quality food, to buy it in sufficient quantity in order to get a reasonable price and to store it where it will be safe from mice, and mildew. One method of safe guarding the diet balance is to save all the vegetable juices, meat trimmings and gravys adding them to the regular meal. The amount of kitchen gleanings will vary with the size of the family, and their portion of the diet will depend on the number and size of the animals to be fed, but one thing is certain, these gleanings will add to the variety of miner als and vitamins taking care of any shortcomings which the basic food may have.
 The answer to the question, Does my dog get enough of the right things in his diet?, can be answered by one thing only, his condition. I would rather see dog too fat than too thin, but just right is best and looks best.
 Oldtimers object very strongly to feeding dogs starchy food such as bread or potatoes. About this I'd like to say that dog cannot thrive on nothing but starchy foods, but starchy foods in reason able quantities added to a good diet can do no harm and can add bulk. Let me repeat, the other essential foods must be present.
 With the shortage of raw meat it will be we'll to feed an occa- sional bone. The dog will get a great deal from it including the marrow. Make sure, however, that the bone is so large that he can not crush it into sharp splinters. Such splinters might puncture his intestines. Never let a dog have a chop, chicken or fish bones.
 And while we're talking about meat We might tell the one about the fellow whose butcher told him he'd shoot his dog the next time he caught him pinching meat. The fellow replied that if his dog steals anything like the meat the butcher sold him the dog wouldn't have to be shot.

service.
 A we'll known dog breeder, who had given one of her pets to Dogs for Defense," entered the ring and did her utmost to lure the dog from the side of it's sol- dier owner" Her calls, whistles end pleadings were in vain, how ever, as the dog remained stead fast by the side of his companion ir arms. Not until the soldier handler gave the command did the dog go bounding across the ring to lavish his boisterous af- fections upon his mistress.
 The boys at Trumbull Airport have a new mascot, and are they thrilled. They are now the proud possessors of the Harlequin Great Dane puppy which until recently lived on the grounds just south of the Victory Yard. The 10 months pup, weighing 132 pounds, was given to the aviators by MT. and Mrs. G. R. F. Gay who have mov- ed to Washington. The pup should find the new life easy to take as he was used to spending 8 great deal of time with the boys from the anti-aircraft unit quartered in the carriage house on the estate. One might say he has graduated from his basic to his pre-fight training.
 There has been a great deal of concern about feeding of late. I do not believe that there is need for alarm, however, as the new regulations provide maximum of per cent protein content in pre- pared dry dog foods. Seven per

Dear Editor:

It seems to me that concern over the health and safety of the FEB Co. workers waxes on hypoc- risy. No one seems to care what happens to our stomachs a year or two from now so long as we don't hurt our eyes or hands and thus slow up construction now.

Hea+ing Plant
By H. C. Gardner

Remember, I told you that there were symptoms that Frank Della porta and his men were getting a new American flag? Well, old Glory, glorifying the maintenance boys, made it's initial appearance on the breeze over Delaporta's new headquarters, Feb. 20. The honor of raising her, first time, went to one Frank Panucci, but honors ac- crue also to each of Franks squad who contributed his share toward the purchase of the flag. Hurrah for all of them!
 Two fires in a single day is rath- CT more than enough, but the blaz- es in question were mighty short lived-showing that we have fire fighters here that know their stuff. The day, February 20. The places, the storehouse and wet dock. We're all glad, I'm sure, that these fires died young; and so let's render thanks and all due homage to the able men and means that killed them.
 The other day, a Pyrene fire ex- tinguisher was found missing from it's wooden case in a nearby build ing. Nothing remarkable in this. No. Such instances are not un- common. What is rather remark able, though, is that no fire of any kind was reported, detected or hinted. Strange, too, that anybody with no fire to quench, should go so far as to unscrew the glass front of the case containing the extiu- guisher, and remove it in this man. ner. Usually they simply shatter the glass, and make no bones about it. The work of genius, this, plain ly with ambitions to become safe- cracker.
 Is MT. Rennie, our esteemed vet eran blacksmith, qualified First Alder? We were under that inn pression, until it developed that the badge with the decidedly yell low color that he wears ain't all it seems. True, the badge is yellow enough to be bilious, but this is be- cause MT. Rennie continually is giving first aid, by way of forge and hammer, to our business of boat-building here ill the year. That's all. The heat of the forge, you see, in MT. Rennie's place nat urally turned a perfectly white badge to a sickly yellow-and there you are.
 The computation of income tax es is a vital topic overhead here abouts at this writing. To borrow an apt quip heard on the radio re- gently, the predominating tune is Deep in the Heart of Taxes" Not many of us can cough up at one sitting the entire tax for the year just passed. Indeed, who can? It will be a quarter of the amount, March 18th, as a starter, and vari- ous means are being discussed as to how to raise the dough for this first quarterly payment. One man is contemplating setting up a few skunk traps in spare time, as the season is right, and doubtless a few s)cents would be raised this way. Another man figures that he may have to shoot his wife and collect the insurance money. We don't go so far as to recommend this. (Mr. Herbert White please note the last sentence.) All very perplexing, but we do hope that murder won't be done to anybody, by anybody.

Kiska Island Cove
AGAIN Bombarded
Main japanese Comp Hi
By Light Surfoce Units

The Gertrude Cove on Kiska Is
land and the main Japanese camp
area OF Kiska Harbor were bonn
bsrded by two American light sur
face units yesterday, the Navy an
nounced today. As on most previous
occasions the enemy did not return
fire.
The Navy also disclosed that jap
anese planes Monday bombed the
American air base on Funafuti. in
the Ellice Islands, in the South Pa
cific.
There was no damage to materiel
or installations and no injuries to
personnel, the communique said.
The Jap attack in Funafuti was
carried out by squadron Of three
bombers. The planes are believed
to have come from the Japanese
naval and air base at Tarawa, in
the Gilbert Islands, which are 695
miles to the northwestward OF the
Ellice Island base.
1t was the second attack on the
base reported by the Navy. The
first was on April % and it was at
that time that the Navy disclosed
for the first time that the American
forces had been on the island for
some time and had a base there.

Hit With 5OO-Pound Bombs

SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA.
July 81 up. Mitchell bombers
blasted the air strip, ammunition
dumps and installations over the
Madang sector yesterday with one
of the largest loads of pound
bombs ever showered on that Jspa-
nese base.
A heavy fighter escort screened
the medium bombers on the mission
ITO miles up New Guinea's coast
line from Salamaua. The Japanese
put up slight antiaircraft defense.
but attempted no aerial intercept
Iion whatever. r..-
All the American planes returned.
Meanwhile. another B-25, on re-
connaissance, dropped 500-pound
bomb from an altitude of so feet
within Is feet of foot bridge across
the San Francisco River south OF
Salamaua. Much of the narrow sus-
pension structure was blasted to bits.
The bridge was the principal
means of getting ammunition and
supplies on foot into the Komiatum
sector, where Australian troops are
advancing against enemy patrols.
Three main Japanese trails from
Salamaua into Komiatum and Mas

Nozi Ability to Aid ItoIy
Is Doubted in London

LONDON, July 81 R.-Military
and diplomatic circles today ex-
pressed the view that If the pur-
pose Of the Hitler -Mussolini meeting
Monday was an italian plea for ad-
ditionai help, II Duce probably did
not get very far.
Since Germany's war resources are
strained already, these sources said
they doubted that Hitler could rush
very strong reinforcements into Italy
even II he wished.
They also noted that Axis COM
muniques reporting the meeting
made no mention of decisions being
reached and failed to sound the
usual note on "cordiality" of discus
sions and "unanimity" OF decisions.
1t was considered significant, too,
that Hitler flew to the meeting-in-
dicating perhaps that it was called
hurriedly.
The Moscow radio, in q broadcast
by the Soviet monitor here, said the
Bulgarian Parliament met in ex-
traordinary session yesterday and
that all army leaves had been can
celed and soldiers already on leave
had been ordered to report to their
units Immediately.
The Moscow radio also reported
that the governor OF the Banja Luka
region in Yugoslavia had been killed
by guerrillas, and Tass, ofIlcial Soviet
news agency, quoted an Istanbul
dispatch as saying that the assas-
sinatfon had resulted in the declara-
tion Of state OF emergency in the

T. A. M. Craven, a member of

occur at the FEC which he and
other commissioners know moth
ing about.
The oficial admitted he was taken
strictly by surprise" on learning
that the FEC had 80 representatives
in the North African war zone,
whereas he believed the number was
four.
My understanding was that we
had four men In North Africa to get
information. he declared. Il had no
knowledge that the Federal Broad
cast Intelligence Service a unit OF

hsh a listening post for Axis broad
casts. The number of employees we
had over there never came before

Of these people?' asked Committee

Piled
At one point, Mr. Craven said he
knew of no authority in the 1894
communications act for operation by
FEC OF listening posts abroad, al
though he said Congress had ap-
propriated funds for the Foreign
Broadcast Intelligence Service,
which mans the posts.
He suggested the Army should have
jurisdiction over such activities in
theaters of operation and proposed
that the communications act be
clarified by Congress to define the
duties of the chairman and its MEM
bers.

Mr.. Craven, who rose from chief
