Swiss Monks Breed
St. Bernard Dogs,
Famed for Rescues

At one side of a pass in the
Alps, in Southern Switzerland, is
a kind of hotel where travellers
often pause. 1t is known as the
Hospice of St. Bernard. and it is
managed by a group of monks.
For centuries the monks have
taken care of the dogs which
have come to be known as "St.
Bernards." They are large ami
mails, some being almost feet
high at the shoulders and weigh
ing $50 pounds or more.
The fame of the st. Bernards
has come chiefly from their work
in saving persons who have fallen
on the mountain slopes. They
have a sense of smell no less keen
than that of a bloodhound.
If a man is lost or injured the
dogs usually can track him to the
place where he waits for rescue
A powerful st. Bernard may catch
the clothing of an injured man
with it's teeth and drag him to
safety.
Many travellers have purchased
st. Bernard puppies and have
taken them to their homes in
other lands for the delight of
young sons or daughters. This
breed of dog makes an excellent
pet, faithful to it's master and
other members of the household.
It does not show the fierce nature
which sometimes is displayed by
German police dogs.

Shoes Give Clues

1 believe that you can judge
person by his or her shoes. AS
sit on a bus or streetcar I look at
peoples shoes. Take person
with shabby, dirty shoes. although
he may have a beautiful suit OF
clothing otherwise, you can bet
that he's probably messy and care
less.
OF course, some one with neat,
sensible shoes is most likely neat,
sensible person with a good, level
think-tank and his feet on the
ground. Some one in unusually
high heels, whose ankles Wobble
slightly, is most definitely young
girl. Loafers mean teen-agerS and
nigh button shoes. in these days,
would mean an eccentric person.
Such shoes are characteristic OF
certain age groups.
Some one who lets his heels run
down is most likely lazy and IL
responsible. The shoes that are
extra shiny are good. indication
of a f1ashy dresser tmaybe some
one from California;. Lifts in
shoes indicate a person who likes
to impress people. Working boots
would mean a farmer. Cowboy
boots need no explaining. Those
types are very distinguishing. Un-
usual shoes show originality-and
so on.
Although I may misjudge some
people terribly, it's fun to try to
tag a person by his shoes.

he was an owl. This, too, may
have soured Henry's outlook on
life. Marshall says he caught a
catfish in the river and gave Henry
his first meal after the rescue.
When they got him home, at 3219
First street North, Arlington, Va.
they found that he was a real
sparrow hawk, which is related to
the falcon.
Thereafter, they fed him horse
meat and scraps of other meat
and for two months Henry lived a
luxurious life at the Barrys. But
Henry wanted to try his. wings
and he flew away twice. The Sec
ond time he tangled his tether in
the limbs of tree and nearly
hanged himself. Marshall rescued
him again and returned him to
the house.
Henry doesn't want a regular
perch. He sits on the Barry dra-
peries or else on some ones head.
A little leather strap and string
keep him from flying away. For
the first week he was afraid and
bit everybody. but he is tame now.
One time he flew straight at Mrs.
Barry while she was carrying a
cup of coffee from one room to
another.
His flying escapades have led
the children to believe that Henry

ably will be Zoo guest in a little

Dazzling against the blue.

Reflected in pools upon your lawn.
