Christian Science Text
Is From Ezekial, 1923

Everlasting punishment was
the subject Of the Lesson-Sermon
in all Christian Science societies
on Sunday, May 6.
The Golden Text was from
Ezekial 1928, Have any
pleasure at all that the wicked
should die? saith the Lord God;
and that he should turn from his
ways, and ive?'
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible: III
thou, Lord, shouldest mark in
iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
Let Israel hope in the Lord: for
with the Lord there is mercy, and
with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from
all his iniquities' psalm 1870:
3, 7. 81.
The Sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: God never Furnishes men
for doing right, for honest labor,
or for deeds of kindness, thought
they expose him to fatigue, cold
heat, contagion. ST man seems
to incur the penalty through mat
ter, this is but belief of morta
mind, not an enactment Of wis
dom, and man has only to enter
his protest against this brlie1
to annual it. The great fact tina
God lovingly governs all, never
Furnishing ought but sin, is your
standpoint from which TO advance
and destroy the human fear o
sickness" pages 1884, 412).

human body, but I do know we
perspire more or less through all
of them. Your dog can't do that;
his pores do not give out perspira-
ton like ours. The only way he
san perspire is through glands in
and around his tongue. When he
is hot or tired or nervous, he
pants; it is his one means of get
ting rid of perspiration.
That is why it is cruel and dan
gerous to strap a dogs jaws so
tightly shut with a muzzle that he
cannot pant-it is torture to him.
If you must muzzle your dog, see
to it that the strap is loose enough
for him to get his mouth far
enough open for a certain amount
of painting.
The moment you take him off
the streets or back into his ken
mel yard, remove the muzzle and
see that he has plenty Of cool,
fresh water to drin. The chances
are he will need the water, and it
is certain that he will need and
want the muzzle taken off.

ter Dave" Before going off to
war Morton saw to it that Dave
had an automobile and an allot-
ment check.
The first thing this soldier did
to assure his pets happiness and
well-being was to arrange with an
Albuquerque kennel to board the
animal. Then Morton left instruc.
tons with bank to mail a check
each month to cover the dog $
board bill and any other Incl
dentals. Then he drove his car into
the kennel grounds, parked it near
Dawes kennel run and left instruc-
tions that the dog be allowed to
sit in the familiar auto while
each day.
Just before he sailed Morton ar
ranged for his insurance to be paid
to the bank in case of his death,
If that should happen the bank is
to use the proceeds of the insur-
ance to pay Dawes board bills for
as long as he lives. In his will
Morton has bequeathed the auto
to the dog thus the animal is well
provided for and protected while
his master is overseas.

ROME, May 6.-U.D Allied head
quarters disclosed the inside story
of the surrender in northern Italy,
tale as fantastic as ever appear
ed between the covers OF Work
Of fiction.
It detailed two months OF secret
negotiations carried on by German
commanders unbeknownst to Adolf
Hitler and introduced daschund
named "Fritzel' and midnight
train named "the Cloak and Dag
ger Special as elements IN the
real life story of international In
trigue in wartime.
The 10000 word announcement
entitled THE Story Behind the
German Surrender" revealed that
the late Benito Mussolini, during
his last days, was lied around by
the nose" by his late mistress,
Clara Petacci, and that only as late
as April 10 did Adolf Hitler begin
worrying about his future.
Mussolini, it said, wanted to die
hero's death in battle but was
prevented from doing so by his
mistress. One Of the Germans who
participated in the negotiations
said "Mussolini is being pulled this
way and that by the women around
him."
The account revealed that the re-
placement of Field Marshal Albert
Kesselring as commander in Italy
by Col. Gen. Heinrich Won Vieting-
hoff almost upset the plans for
surrender but that Gen. Mark w.
Clark's thunderous offensive which
started April 9th did the trick.
Heinrich Himmler learned that
SIS General Karl Wolff, command
er of SIS forces in Italy and Aus
tria had been to Switzerland and
almost halted the negotiations with
telephone call. Flying weather
was precarious and negotiating
German generals almost we're kill
ed several times by Allied planes.
But in the end the surrender was
signed at Caserta, near Naples,
last Sunday.
The negotiations began when AL
lied agents in Switzerland report
ed they had received feelers in
February from a highly-placed
Nazi military commander Head
quarters here simply watched the
backdoor maneuvering until March
2 when the Allied agents reported
two German officers had arrived
at the Swiss frontier and were
DESTROYS of establishing communi-
cations channel with the Allies.
One Of those Germans said he
would return March 8 with Gre
dentlals and definite proposals
after consulting with Wolff at Fa-
sano, Italy. AS a test Of his ability
to produce results, the officer was
asked to release certain Italian pa
trlots held by the Germans. He
did.
On March 8 Wolff and two Off
GERS arrived at the same Swiss
border town and Allied agents re-

DID HIS DOG
COMMIT SUICIDE?

George Macdonald was ex-
tremely worried when his English
Setter. Minnie gave birth to a
litter of six puppies. Macdonald
didn't know how he could afford
to keep them but, when he at
tempted to sell the pups, no one
seemed interested in them. He
even tried to give them away but
still nobody wanted them. Mac
Donald decided the only solution
or him was to destroy the lit
tie fellows.
To make it easier on the mother
dog, once each day he would take
one small pup away and drown it
by placing it in a cloth bag with
a heavy stone and throwing it in
to a pond near his home. When
the last pup had been disposed Of
in this way, Macdonald felt re-
ieved but Minnie was detected.
For two days she kept looking for
her missing pups; then she disap-
peared.
The next day her body was found
floating in the same small pond.
Undoubtedly she discovered where
her puppies were and perhaps
drowned in an attempt to reach
them, or maybe she committed
suicide in her grief People close
to the tragedy believe Minnie COM
mitted suicide. Knowing that dogs
have sometimes been known to do
this. I, too believe she may have.
Once before in this column l re-
ported like incident. This is the
second one to come to my atten-
ton within the last two years.
Yes, dogs will under certain cir
cunstances commit suicide.

WHY YOUR DOG PANTS

I am sure you are aware that
your dog does a lot of painting.
Perhaps you have noticed that a
brief walk with him which does
not fatigue you often leaves him
painting. 1t isn't that he is ex-
hausted or even out of breath-he
is perspiring.
l haven't any idea how many
thousand pores there are in the

FEEDING WATCH DOGS

Many a man going off to war
has given his wife dog to serve
both as companion and as a
protector in his absence. Hundreds
of these wives left behind wouldn't
remain alone at home if it wern't
for these dogs. Here is a little
tip for these women regarding the
feeding of their dogs.
Any dog kept principally as a
watch and guard dog of a place
at night should be fed on differ
ent schedule than that employed
for an ordinary house pet. House
pets are usually fed in the late
afternoon or early evening. Watch
dogs should have their main meal
in the morning. A dog with full
stomach isn't as alert as a hungry
one. Feeding a watch dog In the
morning will insure the animal be-
ing alert at the time when he is
required 70 bark a waning to any
night providers or intruders.
DON'T FEED THESE TO PUP
Here is a list OF some foods that
never should be included In pup
py's diet: beans, peas, potatoes,
cake candy, salt pork, fresh white
bread, or ham. A dog under four
months of age has a digestive
tract that Is not equipped to con-
vert these materials into food for
his use.
THE QUESTION 30
Question: What is fair price to
pay for a stud fee? Our female
fox-terrier is now two years old
and We wish to breed her.
Answer: Stud fees vary accord
ing to the estimated value Of the
stud dog. $25 is a normal fee, but
dog with many show wins known
to have sired winners naturally
commands a higher fee.
Question: What can We do to
ria our cog OIL lice!
DIN.
Answer: Brush the animal daily
with brush that has been dipped
in naptha or aniseed oil. Wash out
his kennel or sleeping quarters
with the same solution. Regular
canine lice powders can also be
recommended.

Navy Newspaper

Returning from 10000 mile tour OF the
Pacific as special investigator for Secretary
of Navy James V. Forrestal Charles S.
Thomas of Los Angeles has announced that
he will recommend the Navy sponsor news
paper to be published at Guam for the bene-
fit of the naval forces.
Men in forward areas, he says, are hungry
for news while it is still fresh. Home papers
are ancient history when they arrive, and
reports Of current events they receive are
too fragmentary to be satisfactory. The need,
he points out, is for live newspaper which
would not only publish actual day-to-day &C.
tvities and particularly what the Navy is do
ing but devote reasonable space to the prob
lens of the Navy In other words, the paper
would be the naval equivalent Of the Army S
Stars and Stripes.
There is Washington rumor that the Navy
will not look askance at the proposal, which
is gratifying. If plant can be set up on
Guam and news service provided there ap-
pears no good reason why the Navy should
not have its own publication.

The Battle In China

China's counter offensive near the Shensi
Japanese forces have been compelled to with
draw deeper into Honan province. Although
information concerning the operation is in
complete it would appear that the Chinese
are conducting a three-pronged drive against
a double enemy attack and achieving notable
success.
Two aspects of the offensive are to be en-
phasized. The opening of the Burma Ledo
road for the transport of supplies and NUM-
tons from the south is one. By this means
Chinese forces are being provided with h e
tools needed to meet the Japanese invaders
The other is that through the influence of
General Hurley and other American advisers
Chang Kai Shek is at last willing to send
his armies into the field against the enemy in
great strength instead of continuing the wait
ing policy which has characterized his regime
so much of the time. Both are heartening
signs of a new order in Chiang's sphere of
influence
At the same time it is reported that the
japanese are preparing for three separate
drives in central China, one at Chinas rice
bowl and two at United States air bases at
Chihkling, western Honan province, and Poseh
in western Kiangsi. 1t is to be questioned
that Chang has sufficient trained military
forces to turn them back. 1t is also apparent
that with the major drive of the Allies against
Japan taking more definite form daily Allied
troops cannot be spared to come to his as
Sistance.
Chiang's most reasonable course, therefore,
would be to stop his political war with the
communists in northern China and accept their
aid.

Time Presses

The time for entering the race for City
Council membership is rapidly drawing to
close. but time remains for other candidates
to file.
In this intervening time it is highly desir-
able that additional Wilmington citizens OF
proved ability and vision take the step that
will make them eligible for place on the
Council, lest undesirable elements seize con-
troll and with the power they gain wreck
Wilmngton's future.
OF equal Importance is the duty OF all per-
sons entitled to vote in the forthcoming cleo
ton to register and throw their influence at
the polls into the scales for progress and
development by electing the men best fitted
by business experience and standing in the
community to guide the city through the
troublous period following the war.

wonderful and fearsome things In

refuge in the assurance that Thou
art dealing with us as with sons.
We confess that our manifold and
piled-up sins merit Thy chastise'

aroused to consider Thy ways with
Thy world, and our hearts melted
to repentance and obedience. Make
us aware Of the spiritual slgnlfl'

Awaken our dormant intelligence
into effort to read Thy will in Thy
providences. Arouse our imaglns
