Effective Method to Break
Dog of Chewing Habit Given
AssOciating Practice With Something Unpleasant viii
Soon Bring Stop

One of the most frequent cues
tons from dog-owners is, How can
] teach my dog not to chew chings?"
The following suggestions bv the
Gaines Dog Research Center. New
York City, represent recommended
methods for training a dog to refrain
from exercising his teeth on shoes,
furniture and other household articles.
Almost all puppies go through a
chewing period - particularly when
they are cutting their second teeth -
and even older dogs seem to have a
strong urge to gnaW on things. Dogs
that are lonely or bored through con-
fnement or inactivity are especially
prone to this habit.
One of the first things to do in
curing the chewing habit is to give
the dog something of his own that
he can chew on. A large raw knuckle
or shin bone with the meat well
scraped off should be kept where the
dog can reach it at any time. Encour-
aging the dog to play with and chew
on the bone will help to keep him
from turning his attention to the
rugs or furniture. Poultry, steak or
chop bones should not be used for
this purpose as they splinter easily
and can cause serious injury to the
dog.
Dogs should never be given old

gloves, socks or shoes as toys. All
shoes, socks and gloves look alike to
a dog and he won't know the diff
ference between the old ones and the
newest and best in the house.
The quickest and best way to break
any bad habit in a dog is to make
him associate that habit with some
thing unpleasant happening to him.
If the dog starts to use his teeth on
some forbidden object he should be
whacked on the rump and told in a
stern voice, mo! MOI" or Stop that!''
incidentally, whatever phrase is used
to make the dog desist from any dis
approved activity, that same phrase

he persuaded Academy officials to let him hit back in rehuttal af- ter Tobin spoke.
 This meant Ching would make two talks, since he was already on the program for an address pre- ceding Tobin. However, toastmast- CT Ralph Seward and Academy off, cial George Taylor consented, pro- vided Tobin delivered his prepared text as written.
 Tobin, however, never delivered it. He dumbfounded everyone when he rose to talk by leaving his pre- pared speech in his pocket.
 Glancing at his watch, the Cab inet member announced that he had only four minutes to speak, as he had to catch a train for Boston. Then he ad-libbed a brief talk on labor management cooper ation that bore no resemblance to his prepared speech. By this time, however, bulldog editions carrying his prepared speech were already on the streets in many big cities
 The astute Secretary of Labor had decided that he wasn't going to emulate the Council of Economic Advisers and wash any dirty linen in public.

CANNONADE

Speaker Rayburn would be justified in resenting statsments by Republican leaders that under the new House rules he will be with powers exceeding those of the late Uncle Cannon Those statements have given rise to considerable misunderstanding The Speaker has power to deny recognition to commit tee charmen with respect to legislation previously blocked by the Rules Committee
 Actually the rules provide that when bill stuck in the Rules Committee is called up for debate in the House on discharge days "the Speaker shall recognize the member seeking recognition for that purpose as question of the highest privilege There is no room for czardom here.
 In our opinion, Speaker Rayburn deserves great deal of credit his part in forcing through the far- reaching reform limiting the virtually absolute power of the Rules Commttee-an undemocratic abuse that plagued the Eghtieth Congress.
 To be sure in his new post MT Raybnrn will com mand considerable influence with committee charlnen but this can scarcely be called dominance especially
 since the rules provide specifically that charmen must be recognized by the Speaker irrespective of his own views AS has always been the case the Speaker VIII continue to weld broad powers of discipline over the House but the direct power to stfe legislation IS not one of them

MYSTERY SPEECH

Washington correspondents are still wondering what happened to that rootin -tootin speech by La- bor Secretary Maurice Tobin at the Academy of American Arbitrators' dinner which the press associations and big-city newspapers carried in great detail, but which Tobin act ually didn't deliver.
 Three hours before the banquet Tobin gave the press an advance copy of his "speech"-a stem wind CT. It demanded increased powers for the Labor Department and pre- dicted that the U. s. Mediation and Cancellation Service soon would be under him.
 This was like declaration of war tc another dinner guest, Cyrus Ching, Director of Mediation and Conciliation. An arch foe of To- bin, Ching makes no secret that he will quit if his Cancellation Service is returned to Labor. So when reporters showed Ching an advance copy of Tobin's remarks,

partment Their w>rst split IS over expansion of tie steel industry. Undersecretary of the Interior Os- car Chapman and Assistant Secre- tary of Interior "Jebby" Davidson joined with such 100 per cent Tru- manites as Senator O'Mahoney in demanding that Truman force the steel industry to expand.
 However, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Dr. Edwin Nourse, dissented vigorously. As a result, snide remarks have begun to fly back and forth across the Presidents desk. Nourse now calls the steel-expansion advocates eager beavers" They, in turn, call him a Tory
 President Truman is reported upset and disappointed over the row, because only last November he asked all his economic aides to get together on a joint program on which there could be complete harmony.
 Again, just before New Years Day, Truman spent another hour with his economic advisers plus Secretary of Agriculture Brannan, Secretary of Labor Tobin, Secre- tary of Interior Krug and Sec retary of Commerce Sawyer It was only after he thought he had their complete approval that he later made his economic proposals to Congress.
 Despite this, Dr. Nourse has openly broken the unity by deliver ing an off-the-record speech in New York denouncing the Presi- dents proposals to expand the steel industry as "unwise and un- necessary" It was the work, he said, of some eager beavers around the President"

Talked DivOrces
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Grotesque is about the only word that seems to apply to the development in New York where a 20-year- old woman who believed she was being under paid to act the role of other woman confessed and touched off legal repercussions which might affect as many as 5000 dvorces in the State.
 New York recognizes only one ground for divorce: Adultery For a number of years divorce -mlndeo couples in whose adultery played no part what soever were willing customers of divorce grounds racket It usually involved crude and phony drama in which the husband would be discovered with another woman in circumstantaly discriminating sur roundngs Courts, attorneys and others evidently condoned the practice-which regarded, at pest, as cheap way of getting divorce Especially among folk who could not afford to go to other States such as Nevada-and establish residence to procure divorce on more realistic basis) There have been some 5000 unconteted divorces in New York on the adultery charge and investigators are assuming that the circumstances were faxed in great majority o these actions.
 Religious interdiction of divorce is a powerful influence which usually works. State laws which at- tempt too strictly to govern marital destiny in the absence of churchs methods of guidance are subject to a blatant evasion. The way the New York law works is little argument for it's retention

DINNER FOR DAWSON

Meanwhile a dinner is being held tonight at the Interior Department in honor of the first Negro ever to become chairman of a Congress- ional committee. Actually, Con- gressman Dawson tried to discour- age the dinner He felt it would put too many of his Southern col leagues on the spot. However, his Northern friends had proceeded with the plans without consulting him.
 So far, Southern Congressmen have all declined, though many have paid tribute to Dawson per sonally. Congressman Albert Thom- as of Texas sent a S25 check for the dinners testimonial fund, which will be used to grant loans to Negro college students. Thomas also wrote: Permit me to say I have served with Bill for many years. He is a fine man, great public servant and close friend
 Other Southerners also wrote kind words of tribute, such as Ken tuckys Congressman Frank Chef who scrubbed underneath his for maj letter turning down the invi- tation: Congressman Dawson has the rPsDect of all the members of Congress He is a good man."
 The reason for these tributes is modest Congressman Dawson, him. self. He has plugged along quiet ly and efficiently. keeping in the background, avoiding clashes with such demagogues as Mississippi's John Rankin, until he has now been accepted into the leadership of the House.
