A dog should have regular exercise
in the cool of the evening during hot
weather. Remember, your dog doesn't
have shoes to protect him from the
broiling pavements. Just place your
hand on hot sidewalk and you will
see lust how hot it can become. II
YOU find you must walk your dog
during the heat of the day, try to
stay on the shady side OF the street.
I have been bombarded by a mass
of worried letters asking me how to
keep dogs from destroying gardens.
Most of this could be avoided by
the use of simple common sense. A
sprinkle of paprika-if red pepper
seems to you too strong-will keep
the average dog from digging into
new-turned earth. So will certain
LIQUIDS which your dogs hate and
which won't hurt the plants.
Better still, a fairly high fence
of almost invisibly thin chicken wire
around the beds and borders Will
keep dogs out. The price is very
slight and the wire is not visible
except from a very short distance.
There is plenty of room in the
world for both dogs and gardens.
I have read many scientific
treatises which seek to prove that
dogs are color blind. I have never
believed this, though my disbelief
doesn't prove it untrue.
Lately, however, experiments
have been made by experts which
tend to prove I am right and that
dogs have as clear a sense OF the
various colors as we have.
A few years ago I saw dog
whose owner has taught him to dis
tinguish one color from another. The
dog is shown a red flag and is told to
select rag of the same color from a
heap of varicolored rags before him.
Always he drags a red rag from the
heap, a rag of the same shade as
the flag which has been shown to
him. He does the same no matter
what the color or the shade OF the
flag and he never makes mistake.
This dog is one of 20-odd who
have passed the same kind OF
test successfully, so I'm sure I'm
correct in saying dogs are not
necessarily color blind.

A dog usually becomes car SICK
because he is frightened when rid
ing. Dogs, like humans, have ner-
vous system, and car sickness Is
often merely a sign that they are
upset due to fright.
The best curative method Is to
place the animal in the car while
it is parked, leaving him inside Tor
a short time. During part Of this

assault, but it could never reach

"Excellent!' Alexander Blan-

desk. Wonderful" he said, and
his little eyes began to glow. who
would have dreamed of such a
thing? No one but Perault, as old
as old man Noah in the Ark.
Marvellous! The blue pigeon. No
doubt one of Perault's breeding
birds. In his breeder cote" Blan-
don was chuckling noisy triumph.
What a perfect hiding place"
'YoU will have trouble, Blan-
don, getting in there without being
seen. The doors to Perault's pig
con cotes are heavy teak and they
are always locked" Martin Lin
gard didn't look at Norma. He
didn't dare. Not now. Had he
touched some flaw in Blandon's
armor? His voice was quiet. His
eyes were fast on Blandon's, but
the pattern of the wall racks at
his back was vivid in his mind.
He was sorting them. He was
placing them in proper order. A
weapon was there!
He judged the distance to it,
knowing if he missed it there
would never be a second chance.

in his tone was convincing. II ex-

and his cleverness, he backed off
slowly for the settee. Over there
he stopped. Only for a fraction of
a moment his obese frame, bend
ing down, took its eye from Mar
tin Lingard. In that instant Cap
tain Lingard sprang erect. His
arm flew backward. His fingers
touched old Perault's wall rack.
Would the thing he reached for be
where memory and calculation
placed it? There it was! Exactly!
His fist closed instantly upon the
heavy hand lead of the Mason
Hall. In one taut- flashing move
ment he hurled the fourteen
pounds of cone-shaped lead.
HE rest went swiftly. Blandon's
Luger roared. He fired off bal
ance, and the shot went HARM
lessly splintering through the rat
tans. Almost in the same moment
the heavy weapon struck him.
Before Lingard reached him, Blan-
don was an inert, senseless heap.

gard cried. Quick! l think old

pigeon. There are dozens of blue
pigeons out there, Martin. You
know that. Dozens! Poor Gran
pere Perault will never be able to
tell US where it really is. Not now"
HE DID tell US, Norma. Alex
ander Blandon was right about
that. But Blandon, you remem-
Der, was no seaman. He considers
sailors to be fools. DO not fail
to tell Martini old Perault said
to you. Why? Because he was
sure a sailor would understand
exactly what he meant when he
said, lie pigeon bleu' Perault
didn't mean the blue pigeons in
his breeding cotes at all"
Captain Martin Lingard

sea rover's hand lead he had
thrown, examining its base. The
hollow there, which seamen smear
with soap or tallow when the
sounding casts are made, to pick
up samples of the oceans bottom
- the hollow there was sealed
with heavy wax. Lingard pried
at it with his pocket knife. Some
thing dropped into his palm.
Norma Perault gasped. There
it was! A large and perfect sap
phne, Siamese, cut en- cabochOn,
scintillating with blue points of
cobalt fire where the lamplight
touched it,
"Y OUR inheritance, Norma"
Martin said with gravity. Your
wedding gift. From old Perault.
He kept his word. He spoke the
language of his youth. He knew
if you told me what he said, I'd
understand. Because on the fish
ing banks off Newfoundland,
Norma, a vessels hand-casting
lead is called the blue pigeon by
seamen. 1t is called nothing else"
Norma stared in unbeief at
what she saw in Martins hand.
Perhaps she was thinking, in that
moment, of sturdy old Perault, of
his steadfastness and fortitude.
The brightness of it touched her
wide gray eyes. 1t was there when
she looked up. Martin Lingard
saw it, and he understood the
meaning of that, too.

Reading Habits of Wartime
Spur Use of Library Here

in what the Economic Cooperation
Administration is supposed to do
and how. a. E
The most notable increase in sub
ject interest come in the books
which help people do their jobs, the
library reports. 70.
These "how-to-live" and 3"Fow-
to-save" books relate to the home,
the family and multitude of
things touching on home life and
economy. Calls for them come from
study groups as we'll as individuals,
especially in these days of expen-
sive living, information on family
budgeting is widely sought.
Because the specialized schools
are overcrowded, many would-be
students come to the library for
books to study at home on subjects
ranging from radio construction and
refrigeration to the techniques of
art, writing, acting and the movies.
Topping all interest in informa-
tional books are the "how-to-do-i it"
kind-how to repair an auto, how to
fix the radio or refrigerator, how
to paint house or a car.
OF course, there are other factors
contributing to increased reading
in the District. For one thing, a
new crop of child readers comes
up every year. But the fact re-
mains, the reading habits intro
duced during the war are not easily
thrown off.
