Does the Government defray the
cost Of the burial of repatriated SOL
diers, sailors and Marines killed
overseas and brought back by the
Army's Graves Registration Service?
Yes-but only up to SIS. However,
the Government pays the entire
transportation charges, right to the
place of burial, chosen by next-of-
kin. The Government also supplies
the headstone, or marker, and an
American flag.
However, if the next-of-kin want
burial to take place in one OF the 10
national cemeteries all expenses are
paid. The SIS limitation covers only
burial in a private cemetery.
Next-of-kin must make applica-
ton for the SIS refund, and the time
to do it is after the burial has taken
place. Here's where to write for the
refund of burial expense, and you
should pick the nearest place to your
home. Send your letter to Distribu-
ton Center, American Graves Reg
istration Service, at one of the fol-
lowing addresses:

be by the time this gets in print.
At any rate, retroactive to April l,
they are $210 (for veteran with no
dependents), $270 for one depend
ent) and $500 with more than one

hut If we take the same water to
mountain top it will boil at lower
point. People who go to camp amid
mountains find that it takes longer
to cook food when they place 1t IN
boiling water.
Five thousand feet above sea
level the boiling point is 203 de-
grees. Denver is at just about that
level and that city's housewives
have made much use OF pressure
cookers. These vessels sometimes
called Denver cookersD add steam

Air Pressure Is Cause.
Difference in air pressure causes

Over the earth is layer of air and,
whether we realize it or not, this
air has weight. The weight OF the
air gives a pressure of about 141a
pounds to the square inch at sea
level. On a mountain top the pres
sure is much less.
The boiling point of water also
can be raised by adding sugar or
salt to the water. In making slrup
or peanut brittle so much sugar is
used that the boiling point goes up
to 300 degrees. Water from the
ocean will boil at higher point
than fresh water because Of the
salt content.

Next In Importance to perfect

ing else is as necessary in training
as to teach dog to heel" I mean,
teaching him to walk close to his
masters heel or at his side, and to
remain there until . second COM
mand allows him to run ahead. II
you will stop to consider the perils
Of traffic, ETC., you will understand
the stark need for this. He should
be taught the trick while he is
young: It is one Of the simplest Of
his lessons.
Take him out on q long leash.
Many times, during the walk say
heel over and over again, in q
firm, quiet voice, and at the same
time draw (not jerk the leash
steadily back toward you until he
is where you want him to be. Then,
if he tries to run forward or to lag
back, repeat often the word "heel'
and accompany 1t by that same
drawing Of the leash. When he has
learned the meaning Of the order
and usually he will learn 1t quick
ly If he be well taught-try him
without the leash; using simply
the word of command. Praise and
pet him for obeying it.
knowledge of heel" may save his
life.
You don't have to worry about
your dog getting too much exercise.
The endurance! Of dog is almost
unreasonable. I have seen fox
hounds chase after a fox for "A
hours without a moments rest. OF
course, the average dog couldn't dc
that without the proper training,
but the average dog can run 10
or Is miles without becoming seri-
ously fatigued. Let your dog run
as long as he wants to. Instinctively
he will know when he has had
enough.
Have you ever been offered advice
on what to and what not to feed
your dog2 Have you been told not
to give your dog starchy foods, be-
cause his digestive system, unlike
yours, cannot handle starch or
sweets? To a certain extent, prob
ably, this is true, but If q slice of
bread or cake or a scrap Of cooked
potato finds its way into his food
dish, now and then, it's not going to
make him die in agony. It is not
even going to hurt him.
Ordinary table scraps form q first
rate diet for any dog. But always
eliminate from these table scraps
cooked poultry bones for they will
be fatal to him, sooner or later.
Chop bones, too, are dangerous be-
cause he can chew them into brittle
splinters that cut his throat or
stomach or intestines. No other
normal table scraps in moderation
are likely to harm him.
Q. Could you please tell me If a
dog should snap at a person when
1t is eating? My dog has mango
and I was wondering If that was
causing it. He is a cocker spaniel
4 months old.-P. w.
A. It is natural for q dog to try
and protect his food. If you will
take his dish from him two or three
times in row, always returning II
to him promptly, he will quickly
learn to let you come near him
when he is eating.

wormed shortly after birth?-H. L. B
A. No. Pups should not be
wormed until they are at least 4

Campaign Director Says Boy
Can Learn to Swim in Six Days
First Lesson Based
On Overcoming Fear
OfWoter, Leader Soys

It is possible for a boy to learn
to swim in six days, according to
Fred D. Carl, director Of the Learn
to Swim Campaign sponsored by
the YMCA and The Star.
Even fla boy doesn't pass the
5o-foot swimming test at the end of
the six-day course, he will have
overcome fear of the water, and he
will know simple water safety
measures" said Mr.. Carl.
The first step in teaching a
youngster to swim is to get him to
duck under the water. A dunking
helps overcome fear-the greatest
obstacle in learning to swim. This,
as we'll as holding the breath and
floating on the back and stomach,
is taught during the first hour-long
class during the campaign, March
20 through April 8.
The second day includes kicking,
breathing and crawling on the
hands and knees in Shallow water.
A review of the previous days les
sons is held at the beginning OF
each class.
Actual launching occurs on the
third day, when students combine
the sled, or stomach, float; kicking,
and crawl stroke they learned the
day before.
The fourth and fifth days are de-
voted to smoothing out swimming
style. Then the boys are ready for
the test, in which they swim 30
feet.
Last year 80 per cent of the 500
trainees passed the test. During
the campaigns SO years, $4,000 have
taken the instruction, 10000 have
Learned to swim and 1000 have gone
on to pass lifesaving tests.
One boy in each class who shows
the most improvement during the
six classes will receive years free
membership in the YMCA. Thii
will entitle the boys to use OF
bowling alleys, gamerooms, ping
pong and billiard tables, and te
enjoy movies, hikes, Photographic
clubs and all of the other facilities
of the YMCA. ....
Boys from 8 through Is who can
| not swim are eligible for the free
