entirely from what you should
feed him in the winter. During
the cold weather he was more &C
tive and his body felt two active
needs: The maintenance of enre.
gy, and resistance to the cold. Ac-
coruingly his digestive system has
accepted and utilized all the food
supplied him, though some of the
food given him might have lacked
the elements most essential to
him as a c%arnivorous or meat
eating animal.
Oatmeal is a fine food for your
dog in the winter as it has a
heating tendency. 1 often feed it
to my dogs in the cold weather
months and mix it with raw meat,
but it snould not be fed to dogs
during the summer. The same
might be said of a steady diet
of the so-called cereal dog foods
that are On the market today. By
these l refer to the kind you mix
with water or milk before feeding.
They are very good as a dog food
but I do not recommend them as
a steady and sole diet in hot
weather. Use them four or five
times a week as a base with
which to mix raw meat and fresh
vegetables, but do not use the
cereal dog food alone.

ion.
If your automobile does pass
inspection-and some of them do
you take the road test, in which
you may be asked to park between
two cars, go through several in
tersections, or use a side road to
turn around correctly. You may
be told to stop suddenly-and if
you are, please remember to give
the "Stop' signal.
If you successfully complete the
road test, as well as the previous
parts. your examiner will charge
you two dollars, write a receipt,
which serves as your license until
the permanent license can be
mailed to you-and then lets you
drive home.

TRAFFIC REPORT
MADE PUBLIC
Col. H. E. Boyd, City Traf-
fic Manager, Enroute
To Meeting

On the eve of his departure for
Miami to participate in a Florida
port rate case involving all of Will
mington's export and import
rates, rules and regulations, Col.
H. E. BoyG, city traffic manager,
yesterday made public the closing
report of the activities of the Will
mington Port-Traffic association
for the six months ending June
80 when the city took over its
work.
The report owelt at length on
the Miami case, but also review
ed other activities of the group.
In the Miami case, the Traffic
Association Of Tampa and the
ports of Miami. Everglades, and
Fort Lauderdale filed q formal
complaint with the Interstate
Commerce Commission attacking
the export and import rates from
and 10 Wilmington and other
South Atlantic ports.
The complaint charged that the
defendant carriers publish rates to
and from Florida ports involved
that are prejudicial to the Florida
ports and preferential to Whining
ton.
The Wilmington association in
tervened 10 protect the port here,
and a hearing was started at
Tampa last June. After a week
Of testimony, it was adjourned I'M
til next Wednesday at Miami.
Florida ports belong in what is
commonly known as the Florida
group, and their rates are differ
entially higher than the rates ap-
plying through South Atlantic

DRIVERS - The current cam
paign for resonance of automobile
driver licenses has brought forth
many questions about the status
of person suffering physical
handicaps. %Illiterates can obtain
license if they can pass the oral
examination and road tests. Stand
ardized signs make it unnecessary
for the driver to be able to read
since the shape of the sign de-
notes its purpose. Deaf persons
can qualify for license if they pass
the other tests. The law also
makes provision for licensing per-
sons with one arm or one leg,
or victims of other handicaps,
upon successful passing of special
tests provided. Serious defect in
vision is one Of the hardest i'm
pediments to be overcome. Re-
ports from over the state indicate
license examiners are kept busy
and that resistance of driving
permits to persons whose names
start with A o. B is going along
according to schedule.
SPACE-One of the chief prob
lens in most communities is find
ing a place for the examiners to
work. At Raleigh and several
other points local motor car deal
ers have rendered use Of their
showrooms, which are not now
crowded. Since the re examina-

LEAVE DOGS ALONE ON
HOT DAYS

On a hot day little annoyances
often upset you. The same is true
of your dog. In warm weather a
dog normally Of ever disposition
may become a little unruly and
snap at anyone who attempts to
tease him. 1t is wise to instruct
children not to torment a dog on
a hot day. In fact, during the heat
it is indeed wise to heed the old
saving, Let sleeping dogs lie"
THE QUESTION BOX
Question: What auses rlckets

Answer: Ricketts, is caused by a
deficiency of bone salts. Contribu-
tory factors are worms. improper
feeding insufficient exercise, abb
sence of exposure to sunlight,
damp quarters, or anything that
hinders a pup in absorbing lime

Question: My dog is suffering
from very sore foot pads. Could
you suggest some method OF treat

for three or four days. If the pads
are infected, daub them with

and upon paying the license fee
he led his liberated pet home.
The following day Pony was
gone. His owner went to the pound
to inquire. Sure enough? There he
discovered the animal. For some
mysterious reason Pony had found
the dog pound to mis- liking, and
during the night made his way

TO CURE CHICKEN KILLERS

Certain dogs have a mania for
chasing and killing chickens. A
dog might go for years without
b%otnering these fowls and then
suddenly start molesting them.
And once a dog starts this habit
there it trouble. They don't just
stop, you have to break them of
the habit.
Here r two methods you might
employ if your dog is killing your
neighbors' hens. One is to fasten
a large piece of freshly = killed
chicken to the Gog's collar and al
low it to remain there for a week
Or so in order to make the odor
of chicke4 forever after loathsome
to the animal.
Here is another method that 1
recently tried out myself with
good results. Tie the dog in a hen
yard for two or three days. Then
unite him but allow him to re-
main in with the hens for a few
hours. Watch him when you first
release lin and if he goes after
a hen, tie him up again. for an
other day. 1t is strange, but after
a dog is removed from the hen
yard he will, in the future, avoid
molesting chickens. E tn he
loses his fascination for them or
he has become tired of seeing
chickens and more chickens.
CITY "PAW PRINTING" DOGS
