WALKER FOR CHILD.

(From Mrs. II. X. B., Washington. J
For Mrs. v. S. c., Manassas: I
was about to purchase a walker for
my seyen-month-old baby just re-
Gently, but since he is heavy and
active child I was cautioned against
it. Instead I purchased a new design
stroller which I've found better for
these reasons: (a) Folds easily for
placing in trunk of car; (b) back
lets down for child to sleep ESQ
helpfulD; (c) handle reverses Sc
you can regulate the way the sun
shines in the face; Cd ability to
attach wire basket to handle for
carrying packages out of baby

mine for SIG in large Washington
department store on upper Seventh
street. There are more expensive
models, but I found them too heavy

DOG NANCE.
(Fron, Mrs. G. w. c., Washington
Answering Mrs. A. L. M: You can
get accurate information about dog
mango If you write to the Geological
Division, U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry, Washington Is, D. c., re-
question their bulletin on Parasites
and Parasitic Diseases of Dogs.
Mango can be cured, but 1t takes
time.
1t is my belief, since you mention
your dog caught it last summer and
lost it through the winter, that your
dog doesn't have mango but what is
called summer itch. Scientists
haven't found out for certain what
causes summer itch which drives
both dog and owner almost crazy
every summer. One theory is diet,
which I personally don't believe, as
nv dog gets it and has the same
diet winter and summer. Another
theory is that f1eas cause the DOG
to scratch and the LESSONS produced
open the way for a fungus on the
grass to get in and cause the intense
itching. My own theory is that some
insect like chiggers bites the dog,
and any one who has been bitten by
chiggers knows there is no end to the
scratching. Veterinarians can try to
relieve the itch so long as the dog
doesn't scratch, but the cause Is
hard to remove. One scientist, who
doesn't work along that line but
experimented on his own dog, touno
that the itch was relieved by rubbing
his dog with baby oil and that the
dogs hair coat improved. You might
try that. I'm going to as soon as
nv dog starts scratching this sum-
mer.
(Fron, r. S. B., WdShington.)
In answer to request by Mrs'
A. L. M, Washington, concerning
dog mango. 1 have been very sue
cessful in treating my dog for mango
or summer itch, as I call 1t, WIN
SULPHUR ointment or salve. Buy II
at any drug store in tube or jar
Rub it on the bare spots well: IL
will not harm the dog should ne hck
1t. Two or three treatments snoulo
be enough, but use as often as you
feel it is necessary. Soon the hair
viii start growing back in again.
Before I started using the sulphur
ointment had one dog treated by
a veterinarian who immersed the
dog In sulphur solution. One
treatment was enough for the sea-
son. Both treatments are very gooo'
It would also be helpful not to IN
clude so much starchy or greasy
foods in the diet. hope this WORKS

Expansion Of Service
Center 10 Be Topic at
Final Legion Session

Expansion of the District-spon-
sored Veterans Service Center is
among issues to be taken up today
in the closing session of special
District American Legion conven-
tion in the Commerce Auditorium.
A resolution, up for action in the
final day of the meeting, declares
there is increasing need for coun-
selling of veterans, preparation and
filing of claims with the Veterans
Administration and "such assistance
as can be rendered only by compe-
tent personnel when funds are
available"
The proposal, asking an additional
$1,000 for operation and expansion
of the service center, also would
name a committee of five past de-
partment commanders to discuss
the matter with the District Com
missioners.
At the session last night Carl
Kuldell, chairman of the Resolu-
tions Committee. reported that the
committee took unfavorable action
on a resolution for a full-tinae
claims specialist at $4,000 a year and
a secretary at $2,400 with an addi-
tional $500 for office expense. To
accomplish this it would have been
necessary to increase the annual
dues from 81 to $1.50 per member
annually. The claims specialist
would come under the Department
Welfare Director. The convention
also rejected the resolution.
