Dogs;
By Peter Boqqs

11cTG Is WdIlll1lS nave VOlCCQ
before. which may save your dog
from chronic eye trouble or pos
sible blindness:
During the autumn the long
grasses, weeds and shrubs have
deposits of ripe seeds ready to
fall. These seeds are of all sizes
and shapes; some have sharp
points and edges, some are spiny
Many are tiny but with infinite
powers of irritation.
Your dog goes through a field
where such weeds or grasses are
at about the height of his shoul-
ders. The impact of his motion
loosens some of the seeds and per-
haps some of these are tossed
into his eyes. where the moisture
holds them captive. They work
their way slowly into the eye cor
ners and set up an Inflammation.
Or their sharp points are imbed-
ded in the eyeball itself, there to
scratch and tester.
At least once a day these fall
months. examine your dogs eyes
carefully for these irritants. With
a very soft cloth drenched in a
mild solution of boric acid. sponge
lightly the edges of the lids and
the eye corners. If the eyes be-
come really inflamed, consult a
good veterinarian.
People speak of a mad dog as
racing down the street, foaming
at the mouth. Such a dog is
much more likely to be having a
fit than be suffering from rabies.
A rabid dog is a mighty sick ami
NAL and is more likely to lie down
or to lurch along slowly and
waveringly. He does not see
clearly and is apt to stumble
against solid objects. He is likely
to snap at anything that comes
within his reach.
If you encounter a dog which
refuses to yield an inch Of side
walk to you. and acts groggy and
walks unsteadily, then keep we'll
out of his way. For that is how
a rabid dog is likely to act. Sell
dom is it possible for a dog to
run at any speed when he is in
that state. Contrary to popular
belief. a rabid dog does not hate
or fear to drink water.
People often ask me why they
should buy a puppy and not a
full-grown dog. II you pur-
chase a grown dog you lose the
pleasure Of training the puppy
and observing the animals mind
as his world widens. BY carefully
observing a pup you can see him
go through almost all the stages
of development that a human
child experiences. And then, of
course. if you bring the dog up
from puppyhood, in most cases he
is trained as you want him to be.
@. My dog Is in a boarding ken
mel. I don't expect to bring him
home until late in December. Is
it wise for me to visit him or
should I stay away until it is time
for him to come home?-J. c.
A. BY all means visit your pet
and do so as often as you can. To
him you are the most important
thing on this earth. If you were
away you would like to see old
friends.
@. What can I do to cure a dog
Of canker of the ear?-M. B.
A. Canker of the ear should be
treated by a veterinarian. Place
yours in the hands of one and I
am sure he can cure the animal.

Soldiers Cited AS
Outstanding"

NEW YORK - Tive colored
soldiers were among four cited last
week by the First Army Headquar-
ters as outstanding soldiers for
the month of November.
Receipt of the citation carries
with it an automatic three-day
holiday in New York City as the
guest of the First Army.
The two soldiers are Sgt. Louis
T. Pierce of Denver, Colorado, and
Sgt. Raymond A. Ash Of Trinity,
Texas. Along with two white SOL
diers they were selected by First
Army officials for their "soldierly
qualities of neatness, military
bearing, courtesy, attitude and
leadership oriental" and arrived
here last Friday for their three
day holiday.
Quartered at the Hotel Knicker-
booker, downtown, the four men
were received last Friday by the
1st Army commander, given a din
ner at First Army Headquarters,
taken on a boatride down the Hud-
son and later to a Broadway show.

MAY MEAN ANOTHER FIGHT
CHICAGO-Uncle Sam who in
Quoted Joe Louis into the army
may have indirectly drafted him
back into the heavyweight title pic
ture here last week. He handed the
retired champ tax lien for $61,-
211.68 for unpaid income tax.
Neither Joe nor his accountant,
Ted Jones of Chicago, has denied
that the money is due. Jones indi-
Gated that the misunderstanding in
statistics took place before the war
Jones said Louis tax for last year
was straight and further limited
that the belated debt would be
taken care of without undue strain.
Joe's message from the govern
ment is certain to influence his
decision concerning a comeback, it
is believed in boxing circles here.
Although Louis is by no means
broke, and appears to be set for
life economically, $61,0 900 is a lot
of money. And this guy named
Joe is NOT spendthrift that some
news organs have painted him.
In the dressing room after his
eighth-round Knockout of Pat Val
entine Wednesday, Louis told the
press he had not decided to hit
the comeback trail "Pm too DID,"
he said. But his declaration did
not have the ring of similar COM
mitment following his Walcott tri-
umph.
Louis drew 35 per cent of the
S28,933 gate of the Valentino mas
sacre, and he has two more exhibi-
tions remaining in America before
he crosses the border for 10 per-
formances in South America. This
should fatten Louis Golfers con-
siderably or at least trim the tax
lien,. providing his exhibition anita
gonists don't back out. Lee Oma,
who deluded himself into thinking
he is of championship calibre didn't
like what happened to Valentino,
Pat was a bloody (mess) ands in
formed the Bomber that his Detroit
engagement was off. "Those aren't
exhibitions, they're real wars" said
the frightened Oma.
