Charlie Complains
About Bergen's
Acting Ability

HOLLYWOOD -H- Excernts
from a letter from Charlie Nc.
Carthy:
There is an ugly rumor going
around that Bergen has turned
legitimate and that I am through.
They also say I've worried nv
self so thin can sleep in a
pencil sharpener. Let me say I'm
enjoying dandy health and ar az
happy as the day 1 killed by frs
woodpecker.
Now as for Bergen's acting,
that's a long story-and a dirty
one. Some say it's out of this
world. I say keep it there.
However, it is true that he i:
doing a straight role in I Re-
member Mama He was chosen
to play the dopey Norwegian un
dertaker after it was turned dowr
by every other actor. I understand

ness is often merely a sign that
they are frightened and upet.
Here is a curative method that
u have found to be successful in
9 out of 10 cases.
Place your dog in your car,
while it is parked in the yard.
Leave him inside only for a short
while. During part of this remain
with the dog, patting and speak
ing softly to him. Repeat this
several times and then take the
dog for a vry short ride. but not
too soon after he has eaten. While
he is on n of these short rides,
pet him and make him feel you
are enjoying his company.
Gradually increase the length OF
these training drives. Soon you
will find that the dog, his car
sick days over, will make every
effort to have you take him with
you.
THE QUESTION BOX
Question:: What is the best way
to make a dog understand that
he belongs to nobody but me
want to make a one-man dog out
Of him?-H. G.
Answer: Allow nobody but your
self to feed and exercise the
puppy. Play with him as much
as possible yourself and try and
have him depend on you fo1
everything. Do not teach him to
be cross with other people. Re
member that a good one-man dog
is at least civilly polite to the
rest Of us humans.
Question: How soon afr. a
puppy is born is it safe to take
him from his mother? A friend
Of ours has a litter Of pups and
has given us one. We are in a
hurry to bring him home but
don't want to do so until the pro-
per time.-L. S. D.
Answer: Under normal condi-
tons you can safely separate a
puppy from its mother when it is
six or seven weeks old.

Last year Harold Diyle had !;
very successful vegetable gardel.
This year he decided to have a
even bigger and better one, 81
right now he wishes he ha
never planted it. Almost ever.
morning and practically each SUI
day since early spring Doyle nat
spent working in his garden plot.
A few weeks ago the vegetables
were coming along in great shape,
but today the garden is almost a
vacant plot of ground.
One Sunday, not so long ago,
Doyle took the family dog, Jock,
out with him as he weeded part
of his garden. After pulling and
hoeing the weeds-Doyle deposited
them in a neat pile on one side OF
a tool shed. Returning home from
work the next day Doyle noticed
that the additions to the pile were
not weeds but vegetable plants.
Mrs. Doyle explained to her
husband how it had happened.
Arriving home from a shopping
trip she found Jock very busy IN
the garden. Perhaps the dog
thought he was helping his mas
ter weed but actually he was pull
ing up everything he could find
and carrying it to the pile by the
shed. Mrs. Doyle had been On an
extended shopping trip and there
wasn't much left to the garden
when she returned home. Doyle
says Jock is a good Scottie and
pet but a very poor gardner-that
is until he can learn to tell a
weed from a plant.
SALT GOOD FOR DOGS
Few dog owners realize the
value and the many uses of Or
binary table salt in the care OF
their pets. Salt is excellent for
cleaning the teeth and helps to
remove tartar stains. Dissolved in
water it makes an ideal eye
wash.
Because iodized salt contains
iodine it is very useful in reducing
any tendency a dog might have
towards developing goitre. w e /
known dog breeders tell me that
it helps to lessen a tendency to-
wards miscarriage and advise
giving salt to all dogs that are
expecting a litter of puppies.
I am a great believer in mix
ing a pinch of iodized salt with a
dogs food at least once a week.
Too much salt is bad for him,
but a pinch or so once or twice
a week will prove very beneficial
to any dog.
DOGS FEET GET HOT
We all know how hot sidewalks
and streets can become after the
sun beats down on them for a
few hours. If you find it necessary
to exercise your dog along city
thoroughfares, remember that
your pet doesn't have shoes to
protect him from the bolling-hot
pavements. Walk him on the
shady side of the street.
During the warm summer
months dogs should be exercised
in the cool of the evening. 1t will
keep them from coming in con-
tact with hot pavements. Also re-
member that dogs suffer from
heat prostration and sunstroke
almost as readily as do humans.
Too violent exercise on a hot day

FEDERAL employees

Authorizes Salary
Difference

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-lR)
Back pay to all federal en-
r1oyes who were eligible but did
not receive automatic promo
tions for efficiency since July l,
1945, was authorized today by the
Civil Service commission.
The difference between salar-
les these employees would have
received, had they been promot-
ed, and the salaries actually re-
ceived will amount to from 500
tc $3.50 for each affected worker,
a commission spokesman estima-
ted. He could not say how many
would be affected, but said there
would be several thousands.
All government employees with
efficiency ratings of good" or
better are entitled to a promo
ton within their grade of work
and an accompanying salary in
crease every IL or IS months. The
18-month period is for those in
upper grade jobs.
The commission said failure to
promote employees on schedule
was caused by errors and delay
in compiling efficiency ratings.
