Every dog should be taught to
come when called. The best
method I know of is to place the
dog on a leash or rope 10 or
20 feet In length. When the
animal reaches the end. call his
name softly and tell him to come
to you, at the. sape time gently
pulling him toward you. Reward
him with a kind word when he
complies or better still give him
a bit of food when he reaches
your side. After a few such
lessons on the leash, he should
come when called without being
pulled.
In training in this or any other
lesson. remember not to make
the training sessions too long.
Dogs, especially puppies. tire
easily. Best results can be OBJ
tanned with lessons Of short dura-
ton. but given frequently.
I received a letter from Nevada
in which the writer states that he
has a 5-month- old cocker spaniel
puppy who has coughing spells
and a dry eczema. His hair is
coming out in spots, and every
time he goes into the cellar, the
puppy picks up some pieces of
coal and eats them. The writer
then adds that the dog has been
Wormed, and cites a good diet
which the animal is receiving.
This letter is typical.
Although the owner writes that
his cocker has been wormed. it is
my opinion. judging from the
above facts, that worms are caus-
ing the cough, loss of hair, and
the eating of coal. Many people
think that if they give their dog
one or two worm capsules he is
rid of worms forever. There are
many different kinds Of worms
that infest a dog and each kind
requires q different type of
medicine to effect a cure Some
times it is necessary to administer
medicine twice or three times a

at first Mr.. Smith was little
frightened at our mud hole out in
front Of the house.
I finally quieted him down and
then walked through the mud
hole, just to show him it wasn't
as bad as it looked. With that
demonstration, he drove into the
yard and got out of his car.
What he wanted to do was to
brag little bit about the Valley.
Fine country" he said. AL

when the ground was soft, and
then take a tractor in and pull it
out when the ground was frozen.
What Mr.. HesSe didn't think of
was that getting that disc out
meant work, and we have been in
a resting mood so far this year.

week or 10 days apart, to expel
all the worms and eggs.
Even if a dog is rid of worms
it is possible for him to be in
tested with them again in a
month or two. If you notice any
thing wrong with your dog it
would be advisable, if you suspect
worms. to take sample of his
stools to a veterinary and allow
him to determine the type of
worm your dog has. He can also
prescribe the correct kind and
proper amount of medicine.
Black tongue, or sore mouth as
it is called by many, is not a con-
tagious canine disease. It is not
caused by germs, but is of a
dietary origin and can be traced
directly to improper feeding. This
disease is common in the South
where dogs are fed on corn meal
and bread with little or no meat,
fish or milk. Dogs fed a liberal
amount of meat or fish will never
suffer from black tongue.

Life in the Country:
! A Patient Hen Is Rewarded
By Jones BirchfieId
We have the most patient hi

We have the most patient hen
I have ever seen.
She set for eight weeks before
getting q family-first she was
four weeks on five goose eggs
which were taken away from her
just at Matching time. one week
on an old light bulb just to keep
her on the nest, and finally three
more weeks on IL hen eggs.
We were going to take the
chicks away from her. but de-
cided it would be a shame. If any
one ever deserved a family, she
does.
It was so cold the other night
that We brought her and her
brood into the house, and settled
them in a box near a radiator
First thing we knew, the chicks
were jumping onto her back,
peering at the world from over the
box top.
You can always tell when eggs
are Matching under a hen by the
way she clucks. When the eggs
start to hatch, a different note
enters her voice. It is more
urgent, and when the chicks get
strong enough to venture out of
the nest she will talk" them into
their first meal-pecking and
clucking until they learn to pick
up the feed.
We had visitors the other day

the Valley of Virginia. They don't

PER CENT ADDED
70 THE PROBABLE OUTPUT

one eighth in 1860 will still need
improved diets. If every person
in the country were to get an ade-
quate diet for balanced nutrition
it would cost we'll above $38 8,000,-
900, 900 in 1850 and more than
$41 900 900 900 in 1860.
We spend more for clothing
jewelry and personal care than
for anything else save food and
shelter.
About II cents out Of the aver
age dollar we spend goes for
clothes and personal care. Some
81 900 factories. with more than
2 2,O00,O 900 workers, supply us with
the clothing, cosmetics and other
adornments that we use. In the
trade are more than 10000 whole
sale firms, more than 100000
retail stores and more than $780,
900 cleaning, repair and service
stores, beauty and barber shops.
Looking toward the next 10
years or so we are likely to con-
tinue to spend about IA cents OF
Evening star., 1949-10-09

our average dollar for clothes and
personal care, just as we did in
the years Immediately before
World War II. This would mean
total expenditures of considerably
more than $22 1000. .000. 900 in 1860.
Our physical capacity to pro-
duce clothes is more than enough
to supply every person living IN
this country If we can keep up
high enough levels of production
and jobs it should be possible to
provide minimum standards OF
clothing or better for every last one
of us. II we did that would mean
additional expenditures of close
to $1,000, 100000 for 1860. Such
are the clothing needs Of the
American people and the size of
the market that would be created
If all were adequately supplied.
Great Housing Need
Some kind of house or home IS
a primary need for all human
beings. Here we Americans have
our difficulties as well as our
achievements. As a people we are
generally regarded as the best
housed, in living space and equip
ment, in the world. We have. of
course, millions upon millions Of

and overhaulS as we'll as new

year. During this same postwar
period Canada has been selling
ships, both new and old. to for
eign countries. The. value of Ca
madam ships sold last year was
$82, 900, 900. Deliveries in the first
five months of this year amounted
to $25, 100000.
In 1888 Canada paid $50, 900, 900
to other countries for shipping
services. Half of this went to the
United Kingdom. Canada in re-
turn received some payment from
other countries for shipping serv-
ices, but there was a net drain.
Now the situation is reversed.
Although Canada. is paying the
United Kingdom slightly more for
shipping services than she did be-
fore the war, she is selling her own
for nearly three times as much.
Subsidy Unlikely
On a basis OF straight trade in
normal world. this situation
would be highly satisfactory to
Canada, who would naturally like
to have powerful merchant ma
rine. The assistance to ship
building" which the government
had in mind earlier this year al
most certainly included direct
financial help designed to encour-
age private orders to Canadian
yards. It is now doubtful whether
anything of the sort will be pro-
posed. Shipping and shipbuilding
are fields which have always been
considered reliable dollar learners
for Britain, and the Canadian
government probably will be un-
willing to subsidize an industry
which would be delivering such a
direct blow at Britain's dollar
earning efforts.
| But there is no suggestion that
the government will stop using
Canadian yards to build the ships
it needs for its own purposes: and
it certainly cannot make Canadian
shipping lines buy ships from
British yards if the lines them
selves find prices too high.

prices.
Perhaps we won't do it. Past
trends indicate that we shall
probably fall about Is per cent
short of the goal. But there,
again, is a great need for the
American people. a challenge and
an opportunity for American en-
terprise in both Government and
business.
One fact is crucial. We must
expand. We have made our prog
ress up to now because we have
had an expanding system. We
are constantly starting new busi-
nesses, turning out more goods,
new products. We build new fac
tories, schools, hospitals, mu-
seums. We provide new services.
more leisure.
Can we keep on growing? Some
pessimists doubt this. They say
our opportunities to make needed
and profitable investment are
drying up; we can no longer ex-
pand. They point to danger in
boom times and cry our doom in
depression.
In part they are right. Our sys-
tenn is strained by our tendency
to 60 too far and too fast in boom,
to drop too swiftly and too deeply
IN bust. But we are aware OF tie
danger. We are making efforts
to level out the ups and downs OF
our business activity.
Strength for Long Pull
For the long pull we can see
that both boom and bust are
passing phases in the steady
record of our long-term advance.
That is a fundamental lesson of
these pages. Wherever we may
stand at any given moment in
boom or depression-or at any
point in between-we should re-
member our tremendous underly-
ing strength. We can expand.
The Twentieth Century Furd
survey explored our expansion pos
sibilities in detail. The new illus
trated summary, U. S. A.: Measure
of a Nation, gives these specific
examples:
l. BY 1860 we shall have oppor-
tunity to put at least $45. .000, ,000,-
600 q year into needed capital
goods. On the basis of our best
sustained record in the past, dur
ing the 1920s, we would be likely
to put in about $39. .000, 900 900.
The extra $4,000, 10000 is q
measured margin. of our ability to
absorb huge additional investment
funds, the frontier on which our
system can grow and expand in

{ on how close the detecting instru-
ments would have to be.
Mr.. Reed said the new de-
tectors-or seismographs-weighed
less than 1000 pounds each and
could be carried by airplane to
any spot in the world.
He said they were:
/. cat least as sensitive as the
stationary seismographs now used
in universities and conceivably
would aid in the study of earth
quakes.
2. Much more sensitive" than
portable seismic equipment previ-
ously used to make certain studies
of the earth's crust.
Delicate Measuring
He said that for certain uses
such as prospecting for oil de-
posits by means of man-made
earthquakes-the new equipment
offered no advantages over exist
ing portable equipment. But he
said that in other uses-such as
making "soundings" Of the earth's
crust and seeking to determine
the depth of various earth-layers
the new instruments should
prove more useful and accurate
than older types.
The latter appears possible, he
said, because he declared older,
type instruments are subject to
background noise" within their
own systems which affect the de-
tecting mechanism. He said the
new instrument produces no such
background noise.
The device works on an elec-
tronic principle involving vacuum
tubes. In stationary seismo-
graphs in universities q purely
mechanical principle is involved,
while in previous portable instru-
ments a combination electrical
and magnetic system has been
used. =
In preliminary tests, he declared.

a stick placed in the ground at
a distance of 100 feet from the

Britain MayLose Canadian
Market for Ship Services
By MichoeI Borkwoy

Britain is in danger of losing
the Canadian market for one OF
her traditional exports-ships and
shipping services. Canada, since
the war, has acquired merchant
fleet which is actually earning
dollars from Britain, and at the
same time she is building her own
ships.
This is one of the many cases
where British exports are failing
not because of competition from
the United States, but because o1
the development of Canadian
manufacturing. Canada built ship:
during the war because she hae
to. The shipyards and the skilled
labor having been established. il
seems to most Canadians gooe
sense to continue using them.
At the beginning of the las'
parliamentary session in Febru.
ary, the government promised "as'
sistance for the Canadian ship
building industry" The Minister
of Transport announced recently
that the government expects tt
spend $60,000,000 on building
ships in the next five years. Hal.
that amount already has been al
located for building lighthouse
tenders, ice breakers and othel
vessels for the department o1
transport. The figure also pre-
sumably includes three submarine
chasers which the navy has or
dered. They are of new desigr
incorporating both British anc
United States features. Details
are secret: the orders have beer
divided between shipyards on botf
coasts.
Builds Smaller Ships
Ships being built in Canada ar
of the smaller classes as no yard
are equipped to handle really BIZ
ships. But the change in tn
shipping trade since before tn
war is very striking. Between 1872
and 1930-the last boom period Il

Further, American goods are

European goods.
If and when that happens fac
tories in this country may sell
less, and there is threat thai
some American working people
will lose their jobs.
Sees Downward Trend
The most conservative econ
omist to whom this reporter talked
"a representative here OF big
business-thinks our whole price
range will slip downward this next
year.
Most of the other economists to
whom this reporter talked think
lower prices will hit us only in
spots, and will not affect our gen.
eral high level of trade.
Here are the American good:
most likely to be hit by European
competition: Autos, woolen ane
cotton textiles, electrical equip
ment, china, mems clothing, TO-
bacco, fruits, coal and grain.
Washington experts though
textiles, mems clothing and china
may be hit here in our home
markets by switch in American
buying.
Autos and electrical equipment
are likely to take their bigges'
loss in other world markets where
they may have to compete with
lower prices of European goods
The farm products-Americar
wheat, tobacco, fruits-may bs
bought in smaller quantities by
other nations.
Most of the economists think
we are more likely to be hurt by
competition in other world mar
kets, than we are by the sales OF
foreign goods here.
World Market Reacts
There is already news from
Detroit that foreign sales of autos
has dropped, at time when
Detroit is turning out more cars
and trucks than last year. In July
last year, Detroit turned out 474,
$50 autos and trucks and solo
4O,624 of them abroad. This July
Detroit turned out 579,048 autos
and trucks, and sold PLATO o1
them abroad.
Most of the economists think
that if American producers woule
figure out some way to cut theil
prices, this whole American mar.
ket could absorb not only what
we turn out, but also what the
Europeans will probably try te
sell us. They think American
manufacturers and farmers alike
could probably cut both costs anc
prices by more efficient produc.
ton, and perhaps by being sat-
isfed with a lower profit.
