is easily made by mixing either
bordeaux powder or paste with
linseed oil. Use only fresh bor-
deaux mixture.
Where the black color of asphalt
is undesirable 1t is possible to do
a reasonably good job with spar
varnish. After. the wound is dis
infected and dried a coating Of
paint may be applied and the
paint covered with spar varnish.
The whole process is simple
seal the wound as quickly as pos
sible with shellac: sterilize with an
effective agent and then coat with
some long-lasting material. Some
of the commercial tree products
combine these materials in one
product, apply it quickly and Pc
riodically inspect to see that 1t is
in good condition.
Same Steps in Tree Surgery.
While this is directed primarily
to the treatment of wounds
caused by pruning or cutting, the
same steps are followed in tree
surgery, that is, after the decayed
diseased wood is removed the
entire surface is disinfected, shell
lacked and coated. This should
be done whether or not the cavity
is to receive any further treat
ment.
The use of a good tree dressing
will have little value unless the
cut is made properly. In other
words. all of this assumes that
the wound or cut is properly
smoothed. all rough edges
trimmed and. if the result of re-
moving limb, the cut was made
flush with the trunk or large
branch.
Stubs do not heal over, but
smooth cut flush with the trunk,
no matter how large, will heal
(callous-ove) in time.
In removing a heavy limb it
may be wise to remove it in two
sections, in each case making an
upward cut first from below to
prevent splitting back and peeling.

I have been taken sharply to
task by many dog owners who
claim that sweaters and blankets
are absolutely necessary for short
haired dogs in cold weather.
Perhaps they are, but I don't
believe it. If 1t were true. then ]
think Mother Nature would have
endowed them with such cover
ings. If you keep your dog NOV
ing briskly when he Is out of doors
and away from fireplace or radia-
tor while in the house. I doubt II
he will catch cold or be the worse
for your failure to pile blankets
or woolen sweaters on him.
1t is surprising the number of
dogs that are accidentally shot
while out hunting.
A dogs gunshot wounds seldom
become infected and sometimes it
is wiser to leave the little pellets
in the dog. First, Of course, take
your dog to a veterinarian. He
will be able to microscope or
X-ray the animal and determine
whether the shot should be re-
moved. Sometimes the shot Is
|imbedded too near a vital spot or
muscle and its removal might cut
an important tendon that would
cripple the dog for life. sss,
Many people think it necessary
to heat a dogs food before giving
lit to the animal. 1t is better for
a dog to have food too cold rather
than too hot. Cold food Is less
harmful to the dogs mouth,
stomach and gullet. However. 1t
is we'll to remember that In cold
weather food that Is too cold will,
on entering the dogs stomach,
take some Of the heat from the
stomach membranes and thus
lower the general body tempera-
ture of the animal.
If possible have all food at room
temperature before giving 1t to a
dog. Do not take cold meat from
the refrigerator and feed 1t to your
dog until you have first allowed
1t to warm up a bit.
A crossbred dog is one whose
parents are purebred but Of diff
ferent breeds. For example, II a
purebred collie and setter were
mated the resultant puppies would
be crossbreds, not mongrels. A

Auto Sales ProbersFaiI
In Move 10 Get Action
On Subpoena Evasions

A last-minute effort to get the
House Public Works Committee of
the Both Congress to take action in
the case of alleged evasions of
subpoenas in its auto sales inquiry
failed today.
Representative Macy, Republican,
of New York, who was head of the
Questionable Trade Practices SUBJ
committee, made the 18th hour
effort to get action from the old
Public Works Committee, but in
sufficient time remained before the
new Congress convened at noon.
One of the cases involved a sub
urban automobile distributor who
is said to have gone out of town on
a trip when he learned that agents
of the Macy subcommittee were
seeking to subpoena the company's
books in connection with its in
vestigation of abuses in automobile
sales here.
Two other cases, committee men,
bers said, concerned Chicago steel
companies whose officers did not
respond to subpoenas but sent an
attorney who challenged the au-
thority Of the subcommittee to issue
such subpoenas when Congress was
not in session. These were the Sun
Steel Co. of Chicago and the M. S.
Kaplan Co. of Chicago, both headed
by D. G. Kaplan.
The cases were left for possible
action by the new House public
works group.
Representative Wilmington, Dem
ocrat, of Mississippi, who will be the
new chairman, said he had no COM
ment to make except that he per-
sonally believes that ANY man in
contempt of the House Public Works
Committee ought to be punished.
He said he had not formed any de-
cision as to the case cited and was
merely expressing general opinion.

Brief Selling Furry
Sends Stocks Down
Fractions 10 s.
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. "a sharp but
brief selling furry swept through
the stock market today leaving
prices down fractions to more than
a point.
A few issues were off as much as
3 points. Here and there some
stocks resisted the trend and held
small gains.
During the selling wave the tape
dropped a minute behind actual
transactions on the floor of the
stock exchange, but it ran clear
within three minutes.
Industrials and rails were hard
est hit with others trailing along
the doWngrade. Utilities by and
large held an even keel, although
prices were mixed.
The slide came after a mixed
opening market in which prices
moved in a narrow range with a
tendency to seek higher levels.
Trading activity centered in the
railroad issues with steels and
motors taking their share of the
selling.
Among those going lower were
Nickel Plate (off 8 points at one
time), Allied Chemical (off as much
as 212), Illinois Central, Santa Fe,
Southern Railway, United States
Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Youngstown
Sheet & Tube, General Motors,
Studebaker (Which announced price
increases on new models, United
States Rubber, Sears Roebuck,
Electric Power & Light, American
Smelling, DOW Chemical, Du Pont,
J. c. Penny, Owens Illinois Glass,
Standard Oil New Jersey, Texas
Co., American Broadcasting, and
Eastern Air Lines.
Prices were lower in the bond
market and activity increased some
what after quiet opening in which
prices moved narrowly. United
States Government bonds in the
over-the-counter market were quiet.
There were a number of explana-
tlons in Wall Street for the down.
ward movement. Business statistics
for some weeks have not been what
the street regards as good, and the
year end forecasts published widely
today were more cautions in their
tone than most had expected.
