patches accessible to my dogs.
Long, narrow blades of tender
Bermuda grass seemed to rank
first. However, it was interest
ing to note how some dogs nosed
about until they found just the
type they desired. Often this
particular grass was complete
ly passed up by another dog
also eating grass at the same
time.
Grass is beneficial to your
dog, so don't try to keep him
from citing it if he so desires.

does not really want. This same
mental disease affects our dogs.
A hungry dog who grabs a
lump of food can be classed as
a thief, but it is surprising how
many canine kleptomaniacs
there are.
These are the dogs, and there
are thousands Of them, which
find something they don't desire

TO CURE TIMID o

Here's a tip for curing a dog
of timidness. For the timid and
nervous dog, not the shy dog
(as shy dogs are such usually
so by heredity and often are in
curable), try friendship and
rough handling. First win the
complete confidence of the dog,
then play with him roughly;
seize him by the skin; throw
him on his back; pat him vigor-
ously, while speaing to him in
a kindly tone of voice. When
you approach a timid dog, dc
not reach for him downward but
always bring your hand up to
his face.

FALLACY

Calico, contrary to popular
opinion, did not invent the tele-
scope. He was the first to use the
instrument for astronomical pur-
poses, however, and made many
improvements. But the first tele-
scope actually was made in the
shop of a Dutch lens maker, Hans
Lippershey, and, curiously, was
inspired by a toy made by an up
known boy apprentice.

it may be a sign of some minor

instances the dog does It pure

Eating grass does one or two

MAY Soon Have Tail Lights
Placed On Canine CHARGES
BY PETER BOGGS
Authority on Dogs
SHALL TRAINS STOP
o DOGS?

Boon you may have to buv a
ta1l-light for your dog or teach
him to bark before crossing
railroad tracks. Recently a a
PRECIOUS legislator in a southern
state proposed a bill to compel
dogs going about after dark to
sport tail-lights. Another Dart of
the proposed bill required that
all dogs in the state were to
bark at railrod crossings be-
fore proceeding cross the
tracks.
Now there might be some
value in having a dog wear a
tall-light at night but even if
you trained a dog to bark at
railroad crossings I fear there
might be difficulty in training
engineers to stop at crossings
whenever they heard a dog
bark and wait until tn dog
crossed.

Radio Time

Action was taken by dele

day meeting to demand free
time on the air from Radio
Station WSPD in order to an
sWer US. Representative Homer
A. Ramey who has used free
time given him to make false
and misleading charges against
Toledo unions and labor leaders.
The action contained in a reso-
luton which was unanimously
passed stated the belief of the
union in free speech and called
attention to the requirement OF
the F e deral Communications
Commission that radio stations
donate certain amount of their
time free of charge 'in the

Stating that Congressman
Homer A. Ramey had been
granted free time by WTOD
WTOL and WSPD, the resolu-
ton charged that Mr.. Ramey
had used his time on several
occasions to make false and
misleading ch argos against
unions and labor leaders and
asked WSPD for free time to
reply to the charges.
The resolution pointed out
that WTOD had discontinued
Mr.. Ramey's speeches and that
WTOL had given Toledo labor
free time, "as a public service. "
1t urged WSPD to do likewise
or charge Mr.. Ramey "the usual
political advertising rate"
The resolution was presented
by Ollie ecord, managing
editor of the TOLEDO UNION

"WSPD gives us nothing but
excuses" Pecord said that WSPD
