owners experience trouble when
they take their dogs afield during
the hunting season. have found
that by using an alum solution
you can tougher up tender paws.
The dogs paws should be dipped
in the liquid and the alum al,
lowed to harden. Because Of the
bitter taste of alum. q dog will
not try to lick it of.
As for sore feet. condition
many hunting dogs suffer from.
I have found that sprinkling a
little boric acid powder between
the dogs toes or dipping his paws
in oil OF tar will often be Of great
help.
Mrs. E. N. NJ, evidently Of the
very limited clan Of dog g-haters.
writes me that all dogs in this
country should be killed. Her rea-
son for such action is that they
cause hundreds Of deaths each
year. I answered her by explain
ing that fewer than so people
die Of rabies in this country an
nually. didn't mention the
number of human lives saved by
dogs. or their contribution and
aid in many other ways. How
ever, I did suggest that she might
better start a campaign to elm
mate or lock all bathrooms in
this country. gave her the facts
gathered from insurance company
records that almost 5000 persons
were killed in bathroom accidents
last year.

as having button ears. What did

this? T. 8. w.

A friend writes that his dos
was knocked unconscious when he
chewed a lamp cord.
In case of slight shock. either
from lightning or contract with q
live wire, a dog may be mo-
mentarily dazed and recover in a
short time, but severe shock
may cause the animal to lie un-
conscious for hours. Then again,
the immediate recovery might be
complete, but the dog could later
suffer partial paralysis.
When a dog is knocked uncon-
scious he should be given first
aid Immediately to restore him
to consciousness. Cold water
thrown over his body. or ammonia
fumes put to his nose will in
most cases bring him to in a
matter of seconds. However. ]
would like to stress the impor-
tance Of letting a reliable veteri-
marian see the dog II such an ac-
cident should occur, regardless OF
how well he seems upon regain
ing consciousness.
I have been asked by many of
my readers to repeat the formula
for dog dip. Here it is:
Dissolve 3 pounds Of sulphur
and ! pound Of green soap in
a gallon Of boiling water. After
the mixture has been thoroughly
dissolved. add 2 quarts of kero-
sene. Then place it in a wooden
barrel and add 80 gallons OF
water.
This dip may be used frequent
ly to kill such external parasites
as neas. lice or ticks. I have also
found it beneficial in curing some
of the common canine skin all
ments prevalent in hot weather.
II kept covered, this mixture may
be used time and time again,
although at times you may have
to add a quart or so Of water to
take care of a slight evaporation.

city are often troubled with ten

'Fraidy-Cats

It is of no great concern to us that the American
Council Judaism continues its campaign against Zion
ism and Israel although we'll have confess that has
been a little surprising. We supposed somehow, that
when Zonsm triumphed and Israel became reality the
Council would fold up and go out of business in the face
of a fait accompli. Bet It didn't.
Therefore to borrow fine old backwoods coloquil-
ISM it makes us mind if the Council wants to go
on spending money, energy and breath fightg battle
which it already os fairly and squarey But it is OF
extreme concern to when the Council resorts to tactics
which are source of danger to who believe in the
Jewish nation in that they provide the antSemltes with
ammunition to use against and against all Jews.
The Council, at its recent Chicago meeting implied
strongly that Zonsts bear the taint of unAmerlcansm
Unable themselves reconcile Zionism with Amecansm,
members of the Council apparently attempting to force
the rest of us to choice is obviously their hope
that we will choose to reject the of jewish national
ISM
The Jewish Times of Baltimore made this trenchant
observation on the Councils 'fraidy-cat reasonlng
Zone of the gems heard at the Chicago meeting was
that the attempt to ndoctrinate American Jews with the
idea that Israel their homeland is artificial presump
tuous and dangerously misleading. That would De right
if true We know Of responsible organization that is
engaged in such propaganda. To invent monster and
then organize chase against him is unbecomg to gentle
men who quote the Bible and theology. TO mpute un-
Amercanism to those with whom differ s to say the
least hitting below the belt.

Instead they opened their doors
wide to unrestricted immigration !;
and in order to feed, clothe, edu-
cate and rehabilitate the newcom-

gram harsher than any we have

They do not owe this further
sacrifice to their fellow-Jews. They
make it voluntarily and with full
consciousness of their place in his

An Editorial
For the Good of Mankind

(Reprinted from the Chicago sun Ilmes)
He came to the United States
from Russia, a penniless immi-
grant. After 38 years he still
speaks with an accent. If you over
heard him talk on streetcar-
current ideas about foreigners y
especially Russians, being what
they are you might carelessly
say: "Another foreigner"
But this foreigner" is such an
extraordinary person that his ca
reer illustrates in a grand way the
greatness of our country in its be-
lief that all men are created to
enjoy equal opportunity to use
their abilities and talents.
Our subject is DR.. Selman A.
Waksman. He came to the United
States in 1911 to escape Czarist
persecution. He became a re-
searcher in soil bacteria.
He discovered the miracle drug,
streptomycin. 1t is used to kill
strepto germs. 1t has saved thou
sands of lives.
DR.. Waksman holds the patent
on the drug. About 81 millin in
ROYALTIES have accumulated.
DIR. Waksman turned the 81
million over to the Rutgers Uni
versity Research and Endowment
Assn. to provide more research ia
cilities and to "work for the good
of mankind" He says his salary
as professor provides all the
comfort and security necessary for
himself and his wife. All future
royalties will go to the research
association.

token of his love to the country

he nevertheless maintained a cool
attitude twoard the ZO.A. leader
ship =
Incidentally, the message of
greetings sent by Truman to the
Z.O.A. convention last week was
not discovered until day after
the convention was over /. 1t was
among batch of letters which
reached the Z.OA. headquarters
on Friday, but the letters were not
opened until Monday This ex-
plains why Truman's message was
not read from the platform at the
convention -.
The big question among Zionist
leaders now is what to do with
the Rifkind Report which recon-
mends a basic reorganization in
the structure of the world Zionist
movement +. The abolition of the
shekel, which the report favors,
will be one of the major issues in
the forthcoming discussions
Serious opposition is also ex-
pected to the recommendation that
the present practice of giving the
Jews of Israel representation at
twice the ratio given Jews from
other lands be abolished i. Other
features of the report are also
ticklish and will be the subject of
animated debates in the Zionist
movement for many months to
come
COMMUNITY CURRENTS:
The Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds is pressing for
broader inclusion of agencies
within the United Jewish Appeal
or the United Palestine Appeal .
This is being done to have more
agencies come within a single
drive and thereby reduce fund
raising expense 1t would also
insure greater stability for worthy
agencies entitled to receive sup
port on continuing basis, in pro-
portion to their relative require
ments i.
Israeli Government representa-
tives in the U. S. have now re-
ceived instructions not to endorse
any Embarrassing drive other than
the United Jewish Appeal, except
with specific government authori-
zation This came as a result
of the negotiations between the
C.J.F.W.F. and the Jewish Agency
aimed at checking multiple drives
in this country
In line with this new policy, the
Jewish War Veterans exits for
Israel" project has been ended,
while the GOOD for Israeli drive
is no longer being conducted
The C.J.F.W.F. has also asked for
greater supervision of how funds
raised in America for various IS
raeli institutions are being spent

of city-planning to such subjects
as: "The senseless dismantlement

out of their homes in Poland and

haps his underground work for the
British during the war which pre-
pared him for his present role.
He was there when the concen-
tration camps were opened, and he
