YOUR DOGS TAIL is A
RUDnER

what good is your dogs tail.
~ isn't Just a part of his body
that he wags when you pat him
or when he is happy. Incidental
ly, a dog will sometimes wag his
tail even when he is in pain-so
a wag OF his tail doesn't always
denote h~applness.) But the dog has
other uses for his tail too.
Even though it may seem of lit
tie importance at first sight, L you
watch a dog closely you will see
that the animal makes use of mis-
tan as a sort of air rudder or
balancing pole. I have noticed that
II seems helpful in making sharp
turns while a dog is running. Also

have lost their tails through an
accident late in life, often appear
unsteady for a time. Naturally, q
dog whose tail was locked when
he was a puppy never learned to

THE QUESTION BOX

Question: Do dogs suffer from
tuberculosis?-C. r. N.
Answer: This disease is very
rare in dogs. When it does occur
it can readily be recognized by
wasting, a l tered respiration,
cough, etc. In fact the same
symptoms as in other animals,
and the treatment must be on
similar lines also.
Question: What do you recon-.
mend in the treatment of chorea?
II. N. B.
Answer: Chorea often either
gets worse or it slowly improves.
l have found the best treatment
for it to be Fowler's Solution Of
Arsenic. But l strongly recon-.
mend that it be given only under
the supervision and direction of a
veterinarian.

DOG NOTES
By Peter Boggs

were given individual lectures by
the highest priests. When a dog
was considered to have absorbed
the teachings of the priests he was
either placed in a private home
or turned at large, At present
there are over 1000 dogs in the
reservations maintained by Bud
dhists in Kiangtu and Changshu.
HEATED OR UNHEATED?
Keep your dog in either heated
Or unheated quarters during the
cold months, but never mix the
two. This doesn't mean that a dog
kept in the house shouldn't be al
lowed to u out-of-doors or that
the dog kept in an unheated kennel
shouldn't be allowed in the house
occasionally. The danger lies in
keeping the animal in a warm
room one night and then in an I'M
heated one the next. Serious and
often fatal colds may result if this
is practiced.
Providing a dog is protected
from dampness and drafts il can
Withstand almost any amount OF
cold weather. 1t doesn't make
much difference whether the ari-
NAL is kept in warm or cold quar-
tiers, but remember, don't keep
changing him from one TO the
other.

EAR MITES

The majority of ear troubles can
be cured by wiping out the ear
with soft cotton soaked first in
preoxide. Then dry the ear thor
oughly with dry cotton. Don't
probe too far into the ear.
If your dogs a is caked with
a black material in the ear canal
and he keeps scratching and shak-
ing his head the chances r he
may be suffering from a mites.
To cure this, clean the a as sug-
gested above and then apply g two
per cent yellow oxide ointment.

this.

A DOGS

From time to time, a dogs toe
nails require attention. If they are
allowed to grow too long, there is
danger of them breaking and split
ting and thus becoming very pain
full to the animal.
A dog running about requires
little or no attention to his toe
nails, for he keeps them worn
down by continually tt aveling
about. However, a dog kept in a
kennel is, liable to have toenails
requiring attention. 1t is best to
allow a veterinarian to clip them,
as he has the proper instrument.
/ don't advise an owner trying to
Clip the nails himself. Without the
right instrument, it's practically
impossible without causing the dog
harm and pain. You can keep the
toenails trimmed down at home
by using a fine wood rasp or file,
Care should be taken not to file
the nails too short.

Australians Routed

Opposes TaIbert
By tho Associated Press

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. 22.-
After doing their widely separated
shares in the complete routing OF
the Australian Davis Cup forces, last
years National Doubles champions
Gardnar Mulloy of Coral Gables,
Fla, and Bill Talbert of Wilmington,
Del, will meet as rivals in semi
final match today at Longwood.
They split up after gaining their
third doubles titles, Mulloy teaming
with Frank Parker of Los Angeles,
and Talbert joining up with Bill
Sidwell of Australia. And the de-
cisive victories those teams turned
in yesterday brought the 1916 win
ners face-to-face with the net sepa-
rating them.
Talbert and Sidwell, playing to-
gether for only the third week,
stunned the quarter finals gallery by
defeating Australia's crack doubles
tandem, Jack Bromwich and Colin
Long, 6-3, Ga, 8-6.
Those teams had taken over the
grandstand court after Mulloy and
Parker, who have been re-appointed
to the defending United States Davis
Cup team had surprised about every
body except themselves by racing
through the other half of the Aus
tralian forces, Geoff Brown and
Dinny Pals, for a 6I3, Ga, 6-3
triumph.
The American Davis Cup aces,
Jack Kramer, Los Angeles, and Ted
Schroeder of Glendale, Calf, will
oppose Francisco Pancho) Segura
of Miami, and Enrique Morea of
Argentina, in the other semif1nal.
Kramer and Schroeder, who have
had an easy passage thus far, elm
mated Jim Brink of Seattle, Wash,
and Dick Gonzales of Los Angeles,
6-3, 53, 81. But Segura and
Morea qualified the hard way. They
spotted Seymour Greenberg of
Chicago and Vic Seixas of Philadel-
phia, the first two sets before pulling
out a 1-6, 3-6, Ga, Ga, 10-8 win.

Swim Meet Start
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. ga "hot hun
dred" between defending champion
Brenda Helser of Los Angeles and
San Francisco's Ann Curtis, who
holds every other freestyle title in
the book, today sends the 32d Ma
tional AAU women's outdoor SWIM
ming meet off to a boiling start.
The three-day aquatic carnival at
Washington Parks 50-meter pool
has attracted SO American mer-
maids, all anxious to stamp them
selves 1948 Olympic prospects, plus
the sensational Holland importa-
tions. breaststroke ace Nels Van Vliet
and backstroker Creme Roster Van
Feggelen.
The Hesler-Curtis showdown, a
four-seaSon sprint feud that has
collegiate flavor since stately Ann
now is a University of California
coed and glamorous Brenda belongs
to Stanford, comes in the 1OO-meter
race which starts the days four
event program.
Miss Curtis, defending champion
in the 400, 300 and $500 meters
freestyles, elected to skip a title de-
Tense in the latter long distance
grind to 60 after Miss Helser's 100
meter crown.
The fast Washington Park pool
may be more to Miss Helser's liking
since she holds the American 100 =
meter record in a 50-meter tank,
while Miss Curtis owns the Ameri-
can mark for 100 yards in a 25-yard
pool.
Miss Van Vliet, who rates the
worlds best breaststroker at this
reading, is expected to hand re-
sounding trimmings to returning
champions Miss Merki at 200 meters
tomorrow and Jeanne Wilson of
Chicago at 100 meters on Sunday.
Mrs. Van Feggelen is accorded a
better than even chance in her only
of the meet to dethrone
Miss Zimmerman in the 100 meter
backstroke tomorrow.

Speedboat Race Card
For Presidents Cup
Regatta IsCompact
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Eric Greenleaf, chairman of the
powerboat section of the Presidents
Cup Regatta, is putting the finishing
touches on a two-day card that
promises to give racing fans all they
could ask for.
There will be no parsley on dishes
being prepared by Greenleaf and his
committee. It's strictly a week end
for the boys and gals who like their
racing without a lot of trimmings.
This is the program for September
20 and 81 as tentatively set up by
Greenleaf:
Midget class outboards will start
the show at 1870 am. on Saturday
with their first heat. At Commute
intervals, Glass A, B, c and F out
boards will 60 off for two-heat races.
The outboardS will wind up around
2:40 pm.
This is a departure from the past
when outboards had a Friday to
themselves. However, crowds didn't
show up on a work day in any great
numbers and it was decided to lump
them in with the inboards. Accord
ingly, some events were Topped off ,
but it will be just as we'll. They often
were only numbers that failed to
hold the interest of spectators.
ALI Outboards Race Together.
Another innovation is the plan
to run both professional and ANA
teur outboard drivers in single
race. Winners will be determined
separately. This means bigger
starting fields for most events.
At $50 pm, the big, fiashy 225-
cubic Inch hydroplanes will start
the inboard events. This is the first
heat for the John Charles Thomas
Trophy for class championship. It's
a four-lap 10-mile grind.
Scheduled next are opening heats
for 81, 1876 and ISL cubic inch hydro
planes and Pacific l Designs, second
heat of 225s and a womens free
for-all.
The first qualifying Presidents
Cup heat for the big Gold Cup boats
and those 225s that dare to. beard
the lions denis slated for 4:40 p.m.
Saturday, providing there are more
than 10 boats. The second qualify
ing heat will be at $40 pm. The
upper half in each heat will be
eligible for the second and third
heats on Sunday.
Sunday Show Opens at PM.
Sundays show would begin at l
pm. with first heat for class E
racing and service runabouts Other
events are: Second heat for 225s,
1:20; All-Washington Sweepstakes,
1:45; all-inboards except classes E
and K. 2:05; final heat for 91s and
PODS, 3:2O; finals for 1855 and isis,
$40: finals for inboards, 4:35;
American speedboat championship,
SPIN, and chance cruiser race, $40.
Second Presidents Cup heat is set
for 2::30 and the final at 4:05.
Some $500 have been earmarked
for cash prizes to professional
drivers and over 81 500 in silverware
will be awarded.
Midway in this week end, the first
postwar regatta ball will be held.
It's planned for the Statler Hotel
September 20, starting at 9 pm.
Tickets for this event as well as
races will go on sale to the. public,
soon.
Big Time for Sailboats.
September 13 and IA will find SAIL
boat shippers from many sections OF
the Eastern seaboard, and perhaps
farther away, racing for The Eve
ming Star trophies. Two races are
planned for Saturday and one Sum
day.

Although we have had no reports,
we strongly suspect that recent
violent thunderstorms will have well
muddied nearby Potomac waters and
put crimp in prospects for small
mouth bass fishing for this week
end. Better check water conditions
in any area you plan to fish.
Maryland sportSmen are UP in
arms over the new hunting regula-
tions promulgated by the Fish and
Game Commission. Although a
hearing was given sportsmen after
proposing the changes and those
attending the hearing protested
strongly and with good reason, the
commission proceeded to make the
changes into law Immediately after
the hearing without apparently CIV
ing protests any thought whatsoever.
1t was pointed out to the commits
sion that while their reason for
shortening the squirrel season to
Is days might be necessary in view
of the small squirrel crop, the period
chosen of September Is to 80 was
one in which greatest damage would
be done, inasmuch as many young
still were in the nests at that time.
Curtailing shooting hours during
dove season merely penalized the
great majority of hunters of this
migratory bird, it was pointed out.
The shorter railbird season also
came under the fire of sportsmen,
Maryland hunters being penalized
again in this case, whereas hunters
in neighboring States would enjoy
the full season.
