he slipped to one side, he bit the
tiger deeply on the under-lip
Again the tiger charged. Again
the dog was not there. This time
one of the tigers forpaws received
nasty bite. Over and over again,
the murderouS charges were re-
peated, as the battle waged on.
Always the dog got out of the way,
Always he bit or slashed the giant
tiger somewhere.
At last, both combatants paused,
painting and tired. BY common
impulse they touched noses. Then
the tiger lay down: and the little
dog began to lick his huge enemy's
wounds. For the next five years
they lived together in the cage,
happily and devoted to each other.
Then the dog at last succumbed to
old age. Two weeks later the tiger
pined away, through grief, and
died.
A few months ago I wrote about
how I enjoy the presence, from
time to time, of two of my dogs
at meals. 1 told how they lay
quietly on the floor. That they
didn't beg. that it was fun to slip
them bit of food stealthily, now
and then. said that I enjoyed
their companionship but that
when had guests in my home no
dogs were allowed In the dining
room. In came a number of letters
asking me why it was I banned my
dogs from the dining room when
there were guests~if the dogs were
as well behaved as I had stated.
Here's my answer:
Some people don't like dogs and
others don't like to be in the same
room with them at mealtimes. I
have, and I am sure you have,
eaten in homes where my hosts
dogs made pests of themselves by
begging for food and by jogging
the elbows or knees of those pres
ent.
I believe that dogs are like small
children during meals. Some be-
have so that it is a pleasure to
have them there. Others spoil
every ones peace of mind and
break up the conversation. 1t is
not the fault of the children. 1t
is also not the fault of the dogs.
In both cases. 1t is the fault of
the bad training they have re-
ceived.
1t is a good idea to have a
Photograph of your dog-a good
clear one. On the back of his
picture put your dogs license num-
Der and other pertinent informa-
ton. Then if your dog is ever
stolen you will have a distinct
likeness, whereby he can be recog-
nized at glance and proof of
ownership established.
Too often If there is q photo
graph Of a dog around the house
it Is an unacceptable and blurred
snapshot. Just for the fun of 1t.
try describing your dog when he
is not before you and you will
find how helpful, in an emergency,
b good snapshot can be.
@. A friend told me that some
times domesticated dogs are breG.
to wolves. Is that true?-H. L.
A. The only place I know of
where that is done, and then only
very rarely. is in the Far North.
There are certain tribes of Eski-
mos that are said to mate their
dogs occasionally with wolves.

District, Baltimore
Lead All Big Cities in
tuberculosis Deaths

The tuberculosis death rate in
Che District is topped only by Bal
timore among the 18 large cities
in the country, figures compiled
for the first time in 10 years dis
closed.
DR.. James E. Perkins of New
York, the managing director of
the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation, announced yesterday that
Washington has a rate of SO tu-
berculoSis deaths for each 100000
population and Baltimore has a
rate of IS.
The figures came from data
furnished by the Bureau of the
Census and the National Office of
Vital Statistics which covered the
three-year period from 1947 to
1850. DR.. Perkins said no esti-
mates had been made since 1941
because of the migratory popula-
ton in large cities caused by
World War II and it's aftermath
The cities, he said. averaged 43
deaths for each 100000 popula-
ton with a national average OF
only 80 deaths in the same period
However, he said. the death rate
probably dropped to about %
deaths per 100000 since the
studies were made because of the
effectiveness of new drugs and
earlier detection in many cases.
Other cities with populations OF
more than 100000 studied with
their mortality rates per 100000
population were:
Boston, SIS; Cincinnati, SO; New
Orleans. So; San Francisco, 48;

TOKYO. Dec. IA (NANA) -
While local newspapers argue the
pros and cons of japanese rearm-
ament in blazing headlines, a ST.
lent remilitarization has been go
ing on in the realms of japanese
toyland
1t is cinch that planes. guns,
battleShips and tanks will fill up
ia considerable portion of Santa S
bag this Christmas. judging from
the profusion of miniature toy
weapons on sale.
Where formerly harmless dolls,
trains, trans and automobiles
Icluttered the shelves of shops, to-
day, a bristling array of Patton"
tanks. jet planes, machine guns,
warships and pistols is lined up in
military formation, catering to
the weapon-conscious children of
Japan.
Military toys are not so new in
this new. enlightened postwar ia
pan, but they never have been
seen in such vast quantities and
varieties as this year.
In one corner of a department
store, an automatic armored car
spits fire from the nozzle of a
gun protruding out the car win
dow as it moves around in a cir
Gle. A model of the Patton
tank. complete with even the
Army star insignia, squats in ma
neuvering position, while an uni
Identified cruiser lies at stately
anchor.
A minute inspection of the lat
ter confirms suspicious. 1t is
model of the Mogami-once the
proudest and fastest cruisers OF
Japan's Imperial Navy. though no
flags fly from her masts, nor are
there any Identification marks.

Takoma Park Police Chief Ches-

has furnished the. Federal Bureau
of Investigation with the names
of two men suspected of burglar
izing two Takoma banks.
But FBI authorities said they
had made no arrests. They re-
fused to say whether they had
questioned any suspects. Several
leads were being followed and
agents were hopeful of making an
early arrest.
Windows Smashed.
The banks, both on Carroll
avenue and separated only by
church, were entered through
unbarred windows which were
smashed A total Of $45 in cash
was removed from the two banks.
Papers and cigarette butts were
strewn about the floor in both
buildings but money vaults were
undisturbed.
At the Citizens Bank of Takoma
Park. Is Carroll avenue. $50 was
taken from a teller's cash drawer
and about $40 from a stamp ma
chine which was smashed. George

and raising most excise taxes.
One prominent Democratic Sen
ator, who did not want to be
quoted by name, predicted Con-
gress would not complete the tax
bill before taking fall recess.
There is every indication, how
ever, administration leaders will
try to finish the tax bill before
any recess.
Smaller Tax Bill Indicated.
All signs point to small tax
bill in the Senate than the $72
billion the House approved. In
fiuential members of the Senate
committee are leaning toward a
percentage increase-possibly 8
points-at each level in the rate
table for individuals, in place of
the House plan of leaving the
rates unchanged and adding a
fiat 1912 per cent to the tax bill
each individual now pays.
There is also some sentiment
in the Senate committee for omit
ting all changes in the excess
profits structure until both houses
can make a more thorough study
Of alleged inequities.
In addition to foreign aid, the
House still must take original
action on the $50 billion Armed
Forces appropriation bill, and a
last general deficiency money bill.

sent to the Senate, the House may
be able late in August to slow

ment term as short as the two.
year draft period.
While all inductees will be
given the chance to express their
preference for branch of service
two factors have made necessary
complex plan on which the Sc
lectionS will be based.
The first is the requirement
that only 90 per cent can 90 to
the Marines.
The second is the Defense De-
partment's new plan to guarantee
that all services get fair shares OF
the top-caliber men, based or
their physical and mental quail
lf1cations Until now, the qualif1-
cation priority system has posed
no problem for draftees, since all
th9ve gone into the Army.
Beginning this month, the plan
must assure that the Marine
Corps net only gets the 20 pei
cent of the total but also gets &c
per cent of the men in each OF
five qualification groups. The Pen
tagon SCI up four such groups for
the DIST ibution of voluntary en-
li5teeS. For draftees, fifth group
will be set up for men who fail
mental qualification tests, but
who are determined-on the basis
OF personal interviews or educa-
tlonal records-to be eligible for
service.
How Plan Operates.
AS outlined by officials of the
Armed Forces Examining and In
duction Station, 814 North st.
Asaph street, Alexandria, here is
the way the plan will work for the
first group of SO youths ordered
by District draft boards to report
for induction next Wednesday:
Each of the SO men will be
asked to state whether he prefers
to enter the Army. the Marines,
or has no preference.
Names of the men then will be
listed alphabetically under the
qualification group in which they
fall. Using the 20-80 ratio for
each group, officials will begin fill
ing quotas on the basis of the
preference expressed. Since pref
erenceS within each group are not
expected to meet the 1920 ratio,
the induction officials will even
them up according to a pre-ar-
ranged, impartial selection from
the alphabetical lists.
After the selections are made.
actual inductions into the two
services will be completed at Alex
andria.
Get Chance to Enlist.
The Marine inductees then will
be taken to the corps recruiting
station, 1400 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, where they will take
the oath of allegiance. They will
be sent to Paris Island, S. c.,
for recruit training.
Marine inducteeS who desire.
however. will be given the chance
to enlist. To do so, they must
pass the physical exam given reg
ular Marine enlistees.
Records using the names of Ma
rine inducteeS will carry the des-
ignation. "USMC (ss)," officials
said. InducteeS who enlist for the
longer service will be designated
as "USMC (ssv) :" The "ss" stands
for Selective Service; the "v"
stands for volunteer.
Draftees still lare sworn in for
81 months. although the new
