Why do dogs turn around two
or three times before they lie
down? For years before they were
civilized, dogs were creatures oi
the wild. existing as best they
could. Many of their actions today
are throwbacks to that era.
A dog burieS a bone because
his ancestors buried food they
killed. after eating what they
wanted, so that other dogs
wouldn't find the remains. Later
they would return and finish it
These same ancestors would turr
around to mat down the stiff
grasses and brush for a bed when.
ever they wanted to rest or sleep
They also turned around to test
the direction of the wind and al.
ways lay so that the wind blew
directly at their noses. bringing
to their highly developed senses oi
smell the odor of any approaching
enemy. Regardless Of where youl
dog is going to lie down, nine time:
out of 10 he will turn around once
Ior twice before doing so. This habit
has been handled down through
the ages.
I asked a group Of dog owners
if any one could account for the
mysterious fact that some dogs
howl at the approach of death tc
Ia human who is dear to them. AL
kinds of reasons, rational or fan
Itastic, were given. Most of them
based their explanations on odol
more than on any other one cause
Some claimed that death, or ar
approaching death, has a subtle
odor of its own. imperceptible tc
humans but keenly perceptible tc
dogs. Others thought the grief OF
the fear of those in the same
house with the dead, gives forth
Ia distinct odor that excites dogs
(This is in line with college lab
oratory tests which are Said te
prove that the presence Of feal
causes an odor which dogs, though
not humans, can detect.) Some
authorities declare there is some
thing psychic in a dogs brair
which tells him Of the death of 9
loved human.
/ am inclined to doubt ths
"odor" theory. This because dog:
have been known to give vent tc
that ghastly death-howl! - unlike
any other canine sound - as sig
nal of a death that was occurring
many miles distant from them.

Sewer Survey Plans
Hit Stumbling Block,
Remain Dead|ocked

Plans for a joint meeting o
Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax ant
Falls Church officials to make ;
final attempt to agree on a re
gionall sewage survey ran into an
other stumbling block last night
Robert w. Cox, Arlington Coun
ty Board member and chairman
of the interim committee which
the four communities appointed
to study sewage disposal prob
lens. said the meeting was sug.
gestedt to him by Albert A. Smoot
Alexandria councilman and thu
city's representative on the com.
mittee.
Purpose of the meeting woule
be to- break the deadlock which
the four communities have
reached in attempting to choose
an engineering firm to determine
the best method for Northern
Virginia to dispose of sewage.
Want SmoOt to Call Meeting.
The interim committee recon-
mended a six-month $4,000 sur
vey by the firms of Alexander
Potter Associates, and Greeley &
Hansen. But Arlington wants a
$4,000 survey of three months by
the firm of Alvord, Burdick g.
Howson. z
Arlington Board members agreed
informally to notify MIR. Smoot
they stood ready to attend a Joint
meeting if he called one.
Notified of this action, Mr..
Smoot said he did not feel he had
authority to call such meeting.
II think it ought to be called
through another meeting of the
interim committee, or by the
chairman" he said.
Urges Action Quickly.
He urged that something be
done quickly so a final decision
can be made on the regional
sewer survey. He pointed out
Alexandria has been warned by
the State Water Control Board to
proceed promptly with sewage
abatement facilities.
The governments of Alexandria
and Fairfax have agreed to put
up their share of the cost for the
survey that was recommended by
the interim committee.
Arlington failed to take final
action, requesting instead that the
other participating communities
consider the shorter and cheaper
survey which the interim commit
tee had turned down. Falls Church
is due to consider the proposal
tomorrow.
Only Arlington's two members of
the interim committee favored the
Alvord, Burdick and Howson sur
vey, while five of the six other
members favored Alexander Potter
Associates and Greeley & Hansen
and the eight committee member
favored third firm.

commissioners to invoke daylight
saving time for one more summer.
1t is the beginning of a busy
week when several other District
matters are coming up for con-
sideration, in addition to the day.
light time issue.
Promise of speedy action have
been given by members of both
the House and Senate District
Committees on the concerted
moves for legislation to put Dis
trict after-hours bottle clubs
under licensing and controls.
The proposal is to come up at
meeting tomorrow of the House
Committee but there it will be
only one section of an omnibus
crime control bill sponsored by
the Davis Crime Subcommittee as
result of its long investigation
OF crime and its punishment here.
Speedy Action Urged.
This is to be an open hearing,
although intended primarily for
the views to be expressed by Of
flcial spokesmen.
One Of the immediate questions
was whether the bill should be
considered as a whole or whether
the bottle clubs section should be
made a separate bill in the inter-
est Of speedier action.
Both Government and congress
sional leaders have urged speedy
action on the bottle clubs bill.
A House District Committee in
vestigation of School Board Mem
Der Adelbert Lees charges of so
cialistic" textbooks in the city
schools was expected to get un-
derway. The subject has been
referred to a subcommittee of
which the acting chairman Is
Representative Morrison, Demo-
crat, Of Louisiana.
The time for the opening of
hearings is expected to be set to-
morrow after conferences between
Mr.. Morrison and District Chair
man Mcmillan.
Senate Probe Proposed.
On the Senate side, crime and
the bottle clubs will share interest
with legislation for Washington
home rule. Both of these issues
are to come up at a meeting of the
Senate District Committee We'd
nesday.
Since the Senate Committee has
not conducted any general investi-
cation of crime, it has before it at
present only bill to license and
regulate bottle clubs. This is spon-
sored jointly by Chairman Nicely
and the ranking minority mem
ber. Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota.
Senator Case in addition has
proposed rather general investi-
cation of crime here as related to
the after-hourS clubs, with partic-
ular reference to the recent slay-
ing at the Downtown Club.

Irwin I. Main, commission chair
man and representative of what
body on the county's Recreation
Board, said last night that q vote
will be taken at the commission
meeting Wednesday to appropri-
ate funds for a summer play
ground program.
The money, he said, would come
from a commission surplus.
The commission has been as
sured by its general counsel that
there are no legal obstacles to
taking over the county recreation
program.
One Program i'm Montgomery.
While the undertaking of the
recreational program will necessi-
tate some modification in the
commissions plans for park and
playground development" con-
tinued Mr.. Main, "the commission
recognizes the constructive ad-
vantages of such program in
building good citizenship"
The commission already oper-
ates summer recreation program
in Montgomery County.
Mr.. Main cautioned that the
commission cannot undertake a
recreation program in Prince
Georges as extensive as the one
proposed by the county Recreation
Board, but said he felt an ade-
quate program could be operated
He said it was proposed to re-
tain Temple FARRELL as director
OF the program. Mr.. FARRELL cur
rently is the county-employed di-
rector, but since no funds were
provided by the commissioners in
their new budget for recreation
purposes, Mr.. Jarrell's Job was
due to expire.
"Stop-Gap Measure"
Mr.. Main described the COM
MISSIONS plans as a 'stop-gap
measure" for this summer only
BY next year. he said, it may be
possible to get legislation turning
the recreation program over to
the commission permanently, or
requiring the county commission
erS to operate one.
The commission decided to take
a hand in the matter, Mr.. Main
said, after receiving numerous re-
quests from parents of children
who otherwise would be without
a summer playground program.
The county first set up its
recreation program in 1949, under
the direction Of a recreation board.
