Il said I thought that the bu-
reau of alcoholic therapy Of the
City of New York of which Ed
ward J. McGoldrick Jr. is direc-
tor, was allied with the much
publiciZed Alcoholics Anony-
nous. have a letter from Mr..
McGoldrick in which he says
/ am seriously in error" and
that his bureau has absolutely
no connection with the other
outfit.
He terms the Alcoholics
Anonymous a private organiza-
ton and says his bureaus ap-
proach to the problem il an
entirely differene one. He also
denied that the bureau Of alco-
holic therapy has any connec-
tion with Alcoholics Rehabilita-
ton Center which I also men
toned and which he says is an
other private enterprise.
NIADYA OLYANOvA., secrs-

McGoldricks denial as far as
that organization is concerned.
He says Alcoholics Rehabilita-
ton Center. Inc, has no affil-
alton with either Mr.. McGold-
rick's bureau or Alcoholics
Anonymous. He says the ARC
Is an independent organization
and It's inception the result Of
a sincere, whole-hearted desire
on the part of an ex-alcoholic
TO help other active alcoholics.
I have not heard from the
Alcoholics Anonymous but will
assume that IL concurs in these
denials and. since the purpose Of
each organization seems to be
the salvage of the sot, I would
say that they are all okay,
though why a number Of diff.
ferent set-ups for the same pur-
pose are deemed necessary, I
do not know.

one came out offering TO divorce

I have known some men who

the gadget at his last press

The third side said: "Scram."
The President kept on toying

the gadget one more turn and

WHETHER in time OF war or

lem that needs prompt solu-
ton. Probably the greatest
cause for absenteeisn Is the or

the most part occur during the
colder weather. but there are
times, even during the summer
months, when epidemics Of
colds seem 10 get started and
sweep through large groups OF
people. .
In Industrial plants there
are three kinds OF measures
which are needed 10 keep epi-
demics OF colds from occurring.
First, there should be proper
working conditions and services
for safeguarding the employees
health. Second, the employees
should receive proper instruc-
tion in protecting themselves;
and third. the employees should
do certain things 10 help main
tain their health and well
being.
LOR example. the manage
i ment can provide properly
heated and ventilated work
rooms so that there will be no
unnecessary exposure 10 either
cold or excessive heat. Then,
too. there can be protection
against drafts.

vOf course. any one engaging IN
the handling of or the prepara-

should also have properly
heated locker rooms where they
can change their clothing at the
end OF the working day. This
will, of course, prevent 10 some

Completing DOG

Just outside OF Muncle, Indiana,
is dog Id like to own. Here
why:
First, he is a good family pet.
Second, he is the only corn-picA-
ing dog I have ever heard about.
and the corn in my garden is at
its ripened height. The dog is All
English Setter named Max" and
is owned by John Hughes. Hughes
states that last summer Max &C
compan;ed him on many trips to
his victory garden and, toward the
end of the season, began to de-
light in pulling ears of corn from
the stalks.
This year the dog has started
again to pick corn, but entirely or
his own. Hughes reports that al
most every day Max trots to the
garden, picks an ear and brings 1t
back, depositing it on the back
porch. After picking five or six
ears in this fashion, the dog starts
barking to call attention to his
feat. The most interesting angle
to this whole performance IS
Hughes claim that Max picks only
corn that is fully ripened. Quite a
dog!
DOG FIGHTS
No matter how well trained a
dog is, he will perhaps at times
get into fights with other dogs.
However, few male dogs will at
tack a female dog, nor will large
dog often attack smaller one
When your dog runs up to strange
dog on the street, do not call hin
away too quickly. If you do, the
other dog is likely to think youl
pet a coward and attack him as
he walks away. When trying te
separate two fighting dogs, never
whip them, as it only encourages
them to continue fighting.

is to choke the offending animals
by placing a strap or chain around
their necks. Care should be taken
in doing this, as dog in the tur-
MOL of battle may unknowingly
bite his master. Another method is
to throw water over the dogs. In
stubborn encounters add small
amount of spirits of ammonia to
the water.
Sometimes one dog will get hold
of another and reuse to let go
even when the other dog has
stopped fighting. In extreme cases.
particularly when dogs life is
in danger, you might resort to the
following in order to make 3 dog
loosen his grip: Hold lighted

THE "FOR SALE" TORTURE
If you have the gas and the In
clination, take a long ride through
the stiflingly hot countryside. Al
one spot after another, in spite Of
the curtailed motoring conditions
you will see small and shadeless
wire cages. In them are wretched
puppies. Often their water dishes
are empty. Sometimes in the cor
ner of a cage is sun-rotted milk or
other food Sometimes there is ne
food or water at all.
The miserable pups are offered
for sale to motorists. There they
stand or sit or lie. day after day
in torment from heat and thirst
on the chance that someone may
pay few dollars for one of them
and take it away-to possibly q
worse fate.
They may be diseased. They may
be too weak, from their long or.
deal, to live. They may or may
not be worth the small price asked
for them. But, when you notice
group of pups in such misery, yol
will be doing them favor by no
tifying the local S. P. c. A. OF
