also reported that fighting men will
get more food in the next three
months but that civilians and for
eign relief agencies will get less.
Republican Congressman charge
that the Government is shipping too
much food overseas.
The Senate War Investigating
Committee said that in an investi-
cation of surplus property dispos-
al it found "a number of cases OF
foodstuffs which had been permit
ed to spoil" The committee plans
a trip to Atchison, Kans., next
week to investigate reports OF
spoilage in that area.
On the brighter side, the biggest
single shipment Of hogs sent to
any U. S. market in years was I'm
loaded at the Kansas City livestock
exchange. And southwest Kansas,
the country's biggest breadbasket,
was reported to be raising the lar
gest wheat crop in history.
Bowles' meat subsidy announce
ment came after he had spent two
days defending OPA price policies
against bitter criticism of Repub.
licans and packers. They charged
that packers are going broke and
that only a price increase blocks
a large boost in meat supply.
The additional subsidy will be
based on amounts paid by slaugh.
terers for live cattle. 1t will be
computed on the basis Of the
amount paid by the individual
slaughter in excess of the floor
established for live cattle prices.
1t will reach the maximum Of Sc
cents a hundredweight when the
slaughterer pays ceiling prices for
cattle.
VIM told the committee that
both slaughterers and packers are
losing money under present OPA
regulations and that the subsidy in
crease would not help.
He said there are more cattle or
the range than ever before but thai
OPA price ceilings are preventing
an increase in the beef supply
would be great help in overcom'
ing the pork shortage, but that
this was not possible under pres
ent regulations.

900, 600 more than it got last year
He said the boost is necessary be-
casue of growing inflationary
pressures and a decrease in the
supply of civilian goods.''
The increase in poultry prices is
expected to be announced by Eco
nomic Sterilization Director Viii
liam H. Davis, perhaps before thu
end of the week. It probably will
be for a little more than one cen
a pound.
The overall U. S. food supply
will be distributed during April
May and June as follows:

essary.
Many members had talked Of
keeping teen-age draftees out of
combat until they had been train
ed a year in this country. They
still may seek to write such pro-
vision into the bill on the house
floor.
Such a restriction, said Major
General Idwal Edwards, assistant
chief Of staff in charge OF train
ing very definitely would be
harmful to the orderly system OF
furnishingfighting men.
General Edwards disclosed to
the committee the present train
ing program by which a man can
reach a fighting front five months
after induction. He told OF one
man who was a combat casualty
Give months and nine days" at
ter entering the service.
The average training for
green recruit, he added, is about
six months for a man going into
the European theater and seven
months for a man who will fight
the Japanese. That time includes
a furlough before embarkation
and a short waiting period abroad
prior to assignment to combat
unit.
Edwards told the committee
the Army never intended to give
IL months of home training to its
combat troops. Any impression
Congress had received to that ef-
feet during discussion of the teen
age draft bill, he said, was based
on a misconception Of the testi-
mony.
While an earlier policy restrict
ed the use of 18-year-old induc-
tees, Edwards testified, war de-
velopments, including the German
winter offensive of 1874, upset
a good many plans"
Major General Henry, assistant
chief of staff in charge Of per-
sonnet, testified that to meet the
needs for requirements, draft
calls up to June would approx
mate 100000 monthly for the Ar
my and $4,000 monthly for the
Navy, with substantially replace
ments thereafter.
Following the defeat Of Ger
many, Henry said, the Army
plans to release the men who
have been abroad the longest, and
who have been subjected to the
severest hardships."

magic touch on the final nine holc-,
won the $4,000 Canadian Open
tournament today with a scorching

who ripped off the lowest score of

BIGGEST SUMMER
SPORTS PROGRAM

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 4.-WH-Re-
turning servicemen, legislative pro-
visions, and indirectly, the racing
ban early this year, have precipi
tated a summer sports boom N
Florida which shows every pros
pect of blending with the winter
scene to present year-round state
sports program.
The racing edict slapped on
Florida tracks on Jnuary 3 this
year, with it's resultant loss of
revenue to the state, helped legis-
lators make up their mind to ap-
prove laws permitting out-of-sea-
son dog racing throwing open the
doors to major summer sports
events.
Greyhound tracks are operating
now at Miami Beach and Tampa,
for the first time in the history of
the state after May 81. The holloy-
wood track is expected to open
shortly Large crowds are flock
ing to the summer dog tracks and
sets are soaring as high and higher
than those watered during the wiz
ter months.
With only % days of the 40-day
Miami Beach Kennel Club meeting
gone, 81,095 persons have showed
$2,7$8,417 through the mutel WIN
dows, which compares favorable
with winter standards. The 40-day
summer program at Biscayne track
in Miami saw 138,048 persons bet

The richest Hambletonian since
1882 will be raced over Good Time
Parks triangular track Wednesday
with Titan Hanover the outstand-
ing choice to whip the pick of the
sports three-year-old trotters.
If IA horses face starter Steve
Phillips at 3 p. M, Eastern War
Time, for the first of the mile
heats, the light harness horse rae
ing classic will be worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000. 1t hasn't
been worth that much since the
Warehouses took down the major
share of $50, 1886. 900 in 1882.
Although the race has been prac-
tically conceded to the fleet son of
Calumet Chuck owned by Cap
Elbridge T. Grerry high ranking
polo player in pre-war days, and T.
Roland Hartman, where is ex-
pected to be a wild scramble for
the other five money spots.

way deadlock with Craig Wood,

Goggins, White Plains, N. Y, who
later slipped badly. The money
player that he is, Nelson shot par

ing his victory squirt with a birdie
on the 18th.
He picked up $4,000 first prize
money to run his winnings for
the year to an unprecedented $47,-

last year.
Furgol, who has been in the
professional ranks only A month,

MAYBE HE NEEDED A BAT

MIA DE- ne NGGDGD "A DA
The police of Shreveport, La,
received call from a Mrs. Cecil
Watson reporting that her five
weeks-old foxterrier puppy was
missing. The police promised to do
what they could to find the ami
NAL. In spite of this Mrs. Watson
decided to enlist as much help as
possible herself.
When the postman called with
the morning mail she asked him
to look for the pup on his route.
Then her larndryman stopped by
and she asked his aid. Both prom
ised to be on the lookout for the
missing canine.
An hour later the laundryman
called Mrs. Watson on the phone
to report he had found her pet.
After returning to his plant he dis
covered the dog tied inside Mrs.
Watson's laundry bundle.
A FLEA'S BILL OF FARE
This is August, the flea season
for dogdom. II you should get rid
of your dog, the animals deserted
and hungry heas are likely to seek
members of the family rs their
next victims. Fleas enjoy feasting
on dogs far more than humans.
When the dog has gone away they
tackle his owner, or other humans,
as the next most desirable object.
A few well-fed fleas produce a
great many eggs. These eggs dis
lodge themselves from the dog S
coat and often drop on furniture
and rugs. Then the eggs hatch. AS
l said, flea prefers a dog for
food, but in the absence of their
preferred diet they will take to
humans instead. Regularly every
year I get appeals for help from
members of households fr m
which dogs have been removed.
Your dog stands as a protector
between You and the heas. So, the

THE QUESTION BOX
Question: Why does my dog, a
collie, shed her coat continually?
She leaves hairs on all the chairs
in the house. What should I do?
e. G.
Answer: First keep the dog out
of the chairs. Then don't worry
about anything being wrong with
your pet. Many dogs, especially
those kept in the house, seem to
shed all year round to some ex-
tent.
Question: How long have dog

must do the scratching.
ALL DOGS ORIGINATED
IN AMERICA
According to a statement re-
leased by the New York Zooloei-
cal Society, all the worlds dogs
had their origin in America.
After much research it has been
claimed that nearly 80 million
years ago there were thousands OF
dogs roaming the western portions
of the North American continent.
They were the first dogs to exist,
in all the world. Thus America is
the fatherland of dogdom, the
birthplace of all present-day dogs
original ancestors.
In some manner, packs of these
prehistoric American dogs found
their way to the eastern hemi-
sphere-presumably via the Ber-
ing Straits or over an ice field
or isthmus which bridged the
Straits-and in this way Europe
and the rest of the Eastern Henri
sphere apparently acquired it's
canine population.
It has been found from the study
of + o S ii bones that the early
American dogs were of two gen
eral types; one massive and the
other smaller and swifter. Man is
supposed to have originated in At
RIGA but the dog is 100 per cent
American. If this is so, our dogs
were here long before we were.
DOG NEEDN'T BE A FIGHTER
Rid yourself of the idea that
your dogs excellence or lack of
excellence depends on his ability
to thrash some other dog. That is
not true. If we lived in a time
when a dogs battling ability was
the only barrier between his own
er's safety or peril, the situation
would be far different. But we
don't.
Your dog is loyal and wise and
friendly but, because he does not
care to fight, you needn't despise
him. A dog is a pest and men
ace if he is always itching to get
into a fight-just as man is, if
he always seeks a chance to punch
his inoffensive fellowman or to
kick friendly children.
Courage is splendid quality but
courage can be displayed in hun
dred better ways than by flying
at the throat of everyone we meet.
The same applies to young dog.
don't try to make fighter of
him.
