RUN YOUR BIRD DOG

The bird hunting season will
soon be here. To those who own
bird dogs this is just a remind
er to start getting them into
shape. In the cool of the even
ing give your dog a short run,
gradually increasing the length
so that on opening day he will
be in condition. Many a hunting
dog has been lost for the rest of
a season because Of a too siren
uous opening day. You can't ex-
pect a dog to run all day if he
has spent ten or eleven months
sitting around the house or ken
mel.

THE QUESTION BOX

Question: What information
could you give me about a hunt
dog that I could use for both
pheasants and rabbits?-
Answer: A Springer Spaniel is
the dog. These dogs when brok-
en- to hunt close to the gun are
excellent for all kinds of game.
They are also capable retrievers
on both land and water.
Question: Is there any time
limit in which a dog must win
it's championship points?-A. N.
Answer: There is no time liml-
tation. A dog can win points as
a puppy, and win the final points
during his maturity.

HOW LONG DO DOGS LIVE

The question Of how long a dog
can live is one Of constant inter.
est. The av~lage length of a
dogs life is between nine and
eleven years, but there are
many, of course, who live to be
much older. From time to time
l have attempted to locate and
substantiate the cases of dogs
that died at twenty or over. Re-
Gently in New Orleans I learned
of a dog that not only won a
cup for staying alive but that, I
think, also held the record as
the country's oldest dog.
In 1886 "Teddy," a poodle
owned by Carlin Jervais of New
Orleans, was entered in a local
dog show to compete for a sill
yer cup to be awarded to oldest
dog present. AS is often said in
sporting circles, Teddy won Gin
a walk" He was twenty-eight at
the time and his owner produc-
ed proof that showed him to
have been born during a New
Orleans visit of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The pup was
named Teddy" in honor of the
event.
Teddy lived for more than a
year after he won the cup for
longevity and died at the age of
twenty-nine-and-a = half. Other
dog owners have claimed their
pets have lived to be over thir-
ty but these claims have never
been proven by documentary
evidence. Teddy Of New Orleans
is the oldest dog I have ever
heard of whose age was attested
to by reliable records. Do any
Of you readers know of an older
dog?

WHEN CIGARET BURNS DOC

Accidents happen in the best
regulated families. And, SO they
happen to the best regulated
dogs. One accident that happens
quite frequently to a dog is that
of rubbing against a lighted Gig
aret. l should say the cigaret is
rubbed against the dog, for a
dog has an uncanny instinct in
avoiding flame or. anything that
is hot.
Ordinarily the burn a dog re-
ceives from a cigaret is painful
but cot serious unless it is on
the animals eye. If your dog
should receive an eye burn pat
a solution Of very strong tea
and castor Cl on it and then,
by all means, let a veterinarian
see the injury All that's neces-
sary for small burns other than
on the eys is tc rub a little but

ers has various jobs for different boys
to do, such as tearing down tables,
and repairing different things.
Practically all the machines are in
use during the day, but the boys may
not use them unless given permission.
They are supplied with nails, paint,
screws, etc.
New Machines
OF all the nineteen machines located
at the shop, the lathe and the shaper
are by far the most valuable. Besides
being more expensive, the parts, if
broken, are very hard to replace.
At the end of the period, each class
has "clean up" committee. All boys
caught loafing at the moment are
mustered into it. Each boy is in charge
Of putting away and cleaning tools
and machines he has used.
Several classes have combined their
talents in making workbenches for
the shop as a project. There is no
competition between the boys making
different projects since Mr.. Growth
ers believes Haste makes waste"
AS a whole, the boys enjoy their
industrial arts classes and are getting
much personal satisfaction out of the
fact that they are making really use

Nine classes are taking this course
and with all the new equipment the
boys find their work enjoyable and
comparatively easy. Each class is di-
vided into two sections, wood shop and
steel shop. Boys are appointed to each
class by Mr.. Crowthers and each term
they are alternated.

NEW YORK UD- The fighting
Irish of Notre Dame and Michi-
gan's mighty Wolverines ruled
as mythical national collegiate
football champions in 1947 amid
much glaring and grumbling be-
cause they couldn't settle the
issue.
The South Bend steamroller
had some satisfaction, however,
as it took the luster off the Rose
Bowl by betting Southern Calls
Pacific Coast Conference Cham
pions just four weeks before
Michigan's Big Nine titlist went
west for the Jan. spectacle.
In a season spiced with the
usual number of upsets-includ-
ing Columbia's unexpected
smashing of Arny's long winn-
ing streak-Notre Dame, Michi-
gan and Penn State wound up as
the three major titans who went
all the way unbeaten and united.
Penn Ivy champion
Pennsylvania, winner of the
ivy League title, and Southern
Methodist, and Southwest Con-
ference king, stood on the thres-
hold as they missed perfection
with one tie marring their rec
ords. Penn was held to a II
deadlock by Army and SMU, in
its finale, had to come from be-
hind to exc out a tie with fight
ing T.C.U., 1919. Kansas, the
Blk Six winner, was tied twice
The Army jugge1naut which
for three years had dominated
the gridiron finally groaned to
a complaining stop at Baker
Field as the Columbia Lions,
trailing 20 to 0, roared up in the
last half for a 21-20 conquest.
Until then, Army had gone
through 80 games without defeat
slowed but twice in 1916 dead
lock with Notre Dame and
scoreless bout with Illinois early
this season.
Once Columbia turned the
trick, Notre Dame did the same
and Army wound up with two
losses, two ties and five wins
