make him lose his confidence in
you or what?"
Dogs very seldom lose confidence
in their masters whether they be
good or bad, rich or poor. 1t isn't
for fear Of that happening that
I advocate not losing your temper
with a dog. 1t is mainly because
it confuses the dog. A dog under
stands commands not by words,
but by the sound and tone of your
voice. 1t is born in a dog to want
to please and do what his master
wants him to do. He can't do that
unless he understands you. When
you lose your temper you not only
brighten the animal. but nine
times out of ten he doesn't know
what you want him to do.
@. Sent away for q beagle to be
used as q hunting dog. When 1t
arrived, I discovered 1t was bow
legged. Will this hurt its hunting
ability?-J. r. M.
A. I don't think the fact that
your dog is bow-legged will in any
way be a hindrance to his hunting
ability.
@. You told me through your
column that cod liver oil was a
good thing to feed a 7-week-old
pup. i have forgotten how often
or how much I should give my dog.

A. Mix one teaspoonful in his
main meal every day for a month.

Stop to visit along . county
road In Northern Virginia, and
the first thing you know you have
a gathering, and perhaps an ad-
venture.
1t was like that last week when
we stopped to visit with w. G.
Welsh, who lives back behind Pur-
cellville. Mr.. Welsh hadn't quite
finished lunch when he came out
and sat for a while under a big
maple that shades his lawn.
He is building q new addition
to his dairy barn. and soon will
increase the size Of his Guernsey
herd. His old barn, he said, was
built in 1907-he found the date
on a piece Of tin taken from the
roof-and this Is the first time
1t has had to be enlarged. Could
be a sign that Mr.. Welsh Is doing
better on his 100 acres.
While we talked, along came DR..
John Piggott. q dairy inspector
for the District Health Depart
ment, on his way down to George
Harrison's to get Mr.. Harrison to
hive q swarm of bees.
DR.. Piggott was about to get a
hive for free. 1t seems the bees
swarmed and came, cross coun-
try. to the Piggott farm where
they clustered on a hay rake out
by the barn.
Doc believes in the old saying
that "A swarm of bees in May is
worth a load Of hay" and was
going to keep them If he could.
Although he is q veterinarian, he

times Of the year and actually. I
cannot discover that the season Of
their birth made any difference
in their health.
Pups born in early spring gain
some slight Roadway before the
summer fleas begin to rob them OF
spirits and appetite. Also, there
is less danger of injury from icy
weather than for winter-b born pups,
but any sensible breeder can ar
range for the safety and comfort
Of pups born in cold weather. BY
reasonable care, the pup born in
spring or summer can be kept free
Of fleas, too.
In brief, the time Of year in
which your pups are born is less
important than the kind of care
you give them.

The Story of Wheat

Ben MUFch SehoeI

Our fifth-grade class at Ben
Murch School has been studying
about wheat. Our teacher di-
vided the class into groups and
I was in the poem group. That
night most Of US looked at home
for poems about wheat. but no
one found any. 20 In our free time
the next day we went to the
school library. But no luck there.
either. One girl came up with
the idea Of making our own
poems. It worked fine. Mine
was called The Story of Wheat. "
This Is how it goes:
I love to see the wheat growing
high.
And sun shining down on 1t from
the sky.
Growing there. IL looks 50 pretty
That when II Is cut IL seems q
pity.
But this wheat of golden brown
Is made into -four and sent 10
town.
Then to the bakery and made into
bread.
So that many. many people can b
fed.
From there to the store 1t will be
taken
So you can have IL. maybe with
bacon.

Greeks Had Myth
To Explain Echo

When q person shouts. there
usually Is no echo" of his voice
The sound waves keep spreading
until they grow weak and die.
In some cases, however. an
echo returns. The sound waves
strike hill or the wall OF a
building. and them bounce back.
In accent times. people did not
know what caused echoes. 20 .
story was made up TO explain
them. In Greece. $500 years ago.
you might have heard this tale:
There was once . nymph
named Echo. and she fell in love
with Narcissus, the son OF the
river god.
Sad to say. Narcissus did not
care about the beautiful nymph.
He was content to spend his time
thinking about his own handsome
face, Echo fell into deep sorrow.
She would not eat. and at last
wasted away until nothing was
left of her except her voice"
Greeks said an echo was the
voice Of the nymph Echo calling to
them.
The story went on TO say that
Narcissus kept looking at his face
in q spring until he. too. came to
his death. Then the gods turned
him into the flower which bears
his name.
Now We know better than TO
try to explain echoes by . story OF
that kind. Sound waves have
been studied. and We know that
sometimes they come back In the
form Of an echo.
The speed Ia not always the
same when sounds pass through
air. They 20 slower through cold
air than through warm air.
When the Thermometer II Ut the
freezing point the speed II 1890
feet per second. At so degrees
above zero, the speed Is l,i3o feet
per second.
The figure Of I.l2s feet per
second Ii used. sometimes. - the
