A well-trained dog is a much more
agreeable and amusing companion
than the harum -scarum, trough
neck" dog that has never been taught
the niceties of canine etiquette, says
the Gaines Dog Research Center,
New York City. Dogs are not born
with good manners any more than
are children. A badly behaved dog IS
reflection on his owner.
One of the most common faults of
dogs is jumping up on people Usu-
ally the dog does this in an over
exuberance of friendliness. But no
matter how sociable the dogs inten-
tions are, no one wants clean cloth
ing smeared with dirty paw marks.
The best time to start training against
this habit is when the puppy is three
or four months of age. Every time he
jumps up, he should be pushed away
with a sharp-toned command of
mo"
There are two good methods for
training older dogs out of this habit
One system is to grasp the dogs
front paws when he jumps up, hold
them firmly, and at the same time
reach out with one foot and step
slightly on the dogs back feet. If this
procedure is followed every time the
dog jumps up, he soon learns to asso-
ciate discomfort with jumping on
people, and abandons the practice
Another cure for this habit is raising
the knee just as the dog jumps so
that the dogs chest will be hit, and
he is thoroughly Jared and perhaps
even toppled over backward The
knee should be raised and lowered
as quickly as possible so that when
the dog regains his balance and looks
up, he sees you standing quietly as
though nothing had occurred.
Either of these two methods, fol-
lowed consistently, should stop the
most persistent jumper. It will serve
no useful purpose, however, to cor
rect the dog on one occasion, and pet
him the next time he filings himself
joyously upon you The procedure
must be followed every time the dog
jumps up. 1t is helpful if your friends
can be persuaded to follow these
same methods, then the dog soon
learns he must not jump on any one
at all, as he gets the same handling
from everybody.
Sometimes a house-dOg will decide
the floor is not comfortable enough
for him and will start using the
chairs, sofas and beds for resting
places. Once a dog has acquired the
habit of sitting on furniture it re-
quircs a good deal of firmness and

THE NUMBER 1 RULE

In an editorial on Fire Proven
ton Week, which was observed
early in October, the Portland Ore
CONAN said: Zone wonders that
people haven't yet got very smart
about preventing fires, though there
has been great progress in fireproot-
ing and firefighting. Since 1900,
about 22,000,000 fires in the United
States have destroyed $l5,0O0,0OO,-
900 worth of property and burned
to death $4,000 perSons-almost
twice the number of Americans kill
ed in the last war
1T is the number l rule Of
fire prevention that a clean house,
store or factory seldom burns =.
That rule should be kept con-
stantly in mind A "clean house
in this case has little to do with
dust on vanished tables. 1t means
a house free of those useless litters
which seem to be an American in
stitution-old clothes stuffed in
closets, attics loaded with furniture
and boxes and odds and ends which
will never be used, and easements
TANNED with abandoned news
papers and magazines. And it also
means a house where reasonable
care is taken of such potential fire
breeders as heating plants, electri-
cal appliances and -fnfIammabie
liquids and paints. How about
cleaning" your place now?

will spring the trap, making loud
snap, which will not harm the dog in
the least, but will startle him suffi-
GENTLY to cause him to lose all in
terest in any place where he has this
unpleasant experience.
Dogs that bark and howl when
ever they're left alone often are a
problem. The best way to avoid
trouble of this sort is to commence
training when the dog is young. Start
out by leaving him closed in a room
by himself for short periods. If he
barks, 60 to him, scold him and give
him light slap or two on the rump
with folded newspaper. Do not go
back more than once, though, or the
dog will get the idea he can make
you come to him by barking. The
periods can be gradually heightened
until the dog becomes accustomed to
being alone and realizes he is not
being permanently deserted by his
owner whenever he finds himself
without company.

Niggling Dopes Who
Heckle Authors
In the course of 20 years Of
writing such things as books,
magazine stories, articles, criti-
cism and a newspaper column, I
received several thousand letters
of this and other quibbling sorts.
Each one usually goes to an edit
tor first. Editors dislike errors
writer's do sometimes make them
but the result Is often q tart,
umjustified order from editor to
writer to make amends. I have
had to spend more than enough
time to write q whole book In the
egregious business of CORE
spending with dopes who were
engaged either in niggling over q
point not worth discussion or in
a fallacious attempt at correcting
me.
There was, for example, a gen.
tleman who said I had used the
wrong common name for d fish.
This cost me q trip to the library,
several phone calls TO learned
persons, two letters, and consider
able irritation, before I could
prove to his and the editorial sat-
isfaction that / knew my stun
and he did not. There was gen.
tleman who wrote me five letters
from Texas over the alleged fail
ure by me to use the subjunctive
in a contrary-to-fact condition. I
wrote, was; he said it should
have been, @were." Even when I
summoned q famous English pro-
fessor to the Judgment and when
he decided in my favor, the self
appointed Texas purist kept on
writing! Whenever I publish q
book, know that I win soon be
showered with missives, both cute
and bitter, from the spelling and
punctuation correctors. These
people as often as not assume I
set the book in type myself and
hold me to blame for every print
er's error as well as trivial blum
ders of my own. And legion Is the
number Of individuals who have
both the energy and time (not to
mention the egotism or the neu-
rotic compulsion) to write four or
five pages of disagreement over
