Strength Apparent
The strength of those supporting
the measure was apparent from
the ease with which they beat
back the amendments. And at the
end, a motion by Rep. Holifield
(D-Calif.) to send it back to the
Foreign Affairs committee for
changes were shouted down. Holt

wear down his teeth. There are
many dogs whose teeth todav
are worn down practically to
their gums because some ill-in-
formed owner thought bones a
necessary part of his pets diet.
Bones will not keep a dogs

1t you desire from time to
time, give your dog a bone but
purely for pleasures sake. New
er give him a cooked bone, be-
cause they have a tendency to
splinter. When purchasing a
bone for your dog, get a good

YOU CAN'T SLANDER A DOG
According to a recent cour de-
cision handed down in Cali
fornia, you don't have to be
afraid of being sued for SANDER
| if you make some degrading re-
mark about your neighbor's dog.
A Mrs. Emily Woodruff entered
a SANDER suit against one Roger
Price for statements Price was
alleged to have made against
Mrs. Woodruff's dog "Bing."
The plaintiff claimed in court
that she showed her pet in dog
shows and that some of
Mr.. Prices remarks might tend
to prejudice the judges. She con-
tended that Bing's reputa-
ton was damaged to the ex-
tend Of about $500 and was
suing Price to recover that
amount.
After grave and lengthy delib-
GRAFTON the court ruled that a
dog has no Islander status" in
the law and dismissed the case.
So the next time someone makes
derogatory remarks about your
pet, grin and bear it, unless you
want to take him seriously and
challenge him with a duel. Then,
you will probably find yourself
in court as a defendant, not as
a plaintiff.

NEW YORK, Oct. Al R-A
laboratory curio that lay idle for
"a years has become one Of the
top thermoplastics in the raw
plastics field.
This is polystyrene, a color
less lastic from which radio
cabinets, refrigerator shields,
television lenses, flashlights,
kitchen accessories and kindred
units are manufactured.
Technically, polystyrene is an
off-shoot of styrene monomer, a
key ingredient of synthetic rub
ber.
It was first isolated in 1893
by Johann Eduard Simon, an
obscure Berlin apothecary who
died in poverty in 1856 without
realizing the significance of his
discovery.
Simon believed that poly
styrene was an oxidation prod.
uct, but in 1845 two chemists
whose names were Blythe and
Hoffman (first names and ma
tionalities not listed) proved
that polystyrene was a poly
merization product. Polymers
are compounds identical in com.
position but varying in colecu
lar weight.
In 1911 DR.. S. e. Matthews
of London was granted a paten'
on styrene monorner for use a!

the dog would stop and glance
back to make sure he was being

Joe led the fireman three
blocks and then stopped at the
foot of a large tree. Looking up
he began to bark. Perched on a
limb high above the ground was
another cat. Joe in his canine

although barking and jumping at

BONES ONLY FOR PUPS

The average dog owner thinks
that bones are good for his pet.
But from a health point Of view
it is absolutely unnecessary to
give bones to a full-grown dog.
Dogs can digest either cooked
or uncooked bones, but the nour-
ishment is of comparatively lit
tie value.
The only advantage a
bone has for a dog is when he is
a young puppy. Gnawing on one
helps a pup to strengthen his
Jaw muscles and is an aid in
removing his temporary teeth.
Many dog owners believe bones
keep their pets teeth in good
condition. After a pup gets his
permanent teeth, forget about
bones. All an excess bone diet
will do for an older dog is to

A Dogs GAIT

Dogs like horses have differ
ent gaits. A dogs general gait
movements are walking, pacing,
trotting and galloping. The next
time you see a dog running
down the street observe in what
sequence he moves his feet -
though it is difficult to tell exact
ly without a slow motion cam
era.
When dog is walking, the
hind foot follows in a straight
line with the front foot and sets
on the ground just back of where
the front foot had been. In walk
ing, the left front foot goes for
ward and the left hind foot fol-
lows.
A dog PAGES just like a horse,
that is, both feet on one side
are in the air at the same time
and touch the ground at the
same time.
Trotting is an increased walk
ing gait, but when a dog gal
lops he actually jumps. Both
front feet move up and forward
at the same time followed by
both hind feet, which also leave
the ground together and
by which most Of the propelling
power is furnished.
