ALL KINDS
By DAVE WEST

Our wheezy electric shaver play
ed out some months ago; since
then, until Christmas morn, we
have been scraping off skin and
whiskers with safety razor Ga
device so named because it is SAT-
! er to use one than it is to cover
the face with gasoline for burning
off the stubble.) Nell doesn't think
it proper to rear a child in an at
mosphere made blush by wound
ed shaver's soliloquies; so she gave
us a Remington Electric Shaver
for Christmas. 1t made us very
happy for two days.
Then we found a card that had
to be sent to the manufacturer to
make the warranty valid. 1t was
a QUESTIONABLE, brief, but enough
in these times to make us jumpy
as chigger- bitten nudist in a
BARRIERS chair. We labored over
the thing for hours.
"How many years have you been
shaving?" Should one date back
to the day when he first carved up
his visage with dads razor, trying
to erase the barely detachable
peach fuzz from it? Did it mean
only the number of years ones
been wracking whiskers off his
face?
We couldn't remember the exact
number of years to either date
anyhow; so we decided to compro-
mise with a date in the middle
and wrote: "first shaved the year
the Kepner family moved next
door to us"
"How do you like your Reming-
ton Shaver 2" We pondered the
possible reasons behind this ques-
ton and concluded thusly: "The
FBI probably will go over this
with great care, and every person
we've ever offended will be called
in to explain why he thinks we
answered that way" So we glanc-
ed warily over both shoulders (not
at once), then wrote: 81 have not
read it."
And the last, most dangerous
question of all: "What influenced
you to become a Remington Shaw.

Handling Your Spaniel
by Moxwell Riddle. prominent dog
tr0iner ond one Of the authors Of
the Purino Gun DOG Book

by Mdxwell Riddle. prominent dog
toiner end one Of the Guthors Of
the Purind Gun Dog Book
Pigeons can be used to teach
marking in your training course for
your Spaniel. They'll also replace
pheasantS In flushing, shooting and
retrieving practice. Only occasionally
IS It necessary to shoot the pigeons.
Many Sportsmen make small lofts in
their garages Once pigeons have
nested there, they win stay about.
They can be shut up at night when
1t 10 planned to use them the next
day.
TO teach marking, it is not neces-
sary to shoot the pigeon. Tear out
some strips Of cloth eight inches
long and q half-inch wide. Use these
to tie the pigeons wings. That is, lift
the wings and tie the string about
them sufficiently SO that the pigeon
can 1iutter them but cannot ny.
The procedure is to send some out
IS yards, shoot of the blank pistol
and toss the pigeon into the air,
which flutterS down perhaps 20 feet
away. Don't let your dog break shot.
After 10 seconds, send him to re-
trieve. Lengthen the distance grad
ually.
Practice the same thing across a
small stream, so that the dog learns
to cross over and search the other
bank. It IS also well to practice dou-
bles. Start this with dummies in
your yard. Hup the dog, stand in
front Of him, about 20 feet off, and
throw q dummy to the right and an
other to the left. Have your train
ing rope fastened to him and stand
on the end Of it.
Send him right. # he tries to 90
left, stop him and make him go
right. In this way, you teach him to
take directions. When he'll take side
directions, try to teach him to 60
out. Place the dummy so feet in
front Of him. Then go an equal dis
tance in back Of him. Use the palm
Of your hand to direct him out and
say "get back"
Eventually you viii be able to send
the dog for 100 yard doubles, and for
birds he didn't see planted. You will
be able to stop him, give him new
directions, etc. Both you and he will
have an unbelievable amount Of fun
too. And there will be no retriev-
ing problem your dog can't solve.

Red Subs, Now 300 Strong,
 Worry US. Navy Officers
By Stanley James

WASHINGTON - Top Navy officers say the Russians have a submarine fleet which is six times larger than the German submar- inc fleet at the beginning of World War II. The Russian subs are said to be as modern and efficient as the latest-type Nazi snorkels at the end of the war.
 This would give the Reds a sub fleet of about 300 or 400 under seas raiders, since the German navy had only about 50 or 60 subs in 1889. Adm. William M. Fech- teler, chief of naval operations, recently told a group of National Geographical Society members that the Red sub fleet could seri- ously challenge US. supremacy in case of war.
 Americans don't have to look back far to remember when some 20 or 30 German U-boats caused carnage off the southeastern coast in 1922 and 1943. The Ger mans were sinking oil tankers at rapid pace and on some days as many as six or eight ships went down.
 What the Russians could do with six times as many subs can be imagined.

 have the right serving pieces. Beautiful silver adds so much to
 any table setting, doesn't it?. And what delightful Mothers Day gifts,

Ry MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Two years
ago I met the man of my dreams.
He took me out occasionally but
never said I meant anything to
him. A year ago he Joined the
Army and began to write to me.
His letters were just friendly.
When he came home on leave he
saw me a few times, then the last
night he was home he got fresh
for the first time. I told him if
he thought was that type of girl
he'd better just forget about me.
About a week later I received a
letter from him which was quite
different from all the others, and
ever since they have been more
serious. My problem is this: Does
he mean all the things he writes
or are they just words without
meaning? Do you think he could
nave fallen in love with me?

Selfish
Impulses
By AnoeIo Potri

Children are selfish. All OF life:
is centered in themselves. They
| include their mothers in their
personal attitude toward all that
touches. them, feeling that their
mothers are part of themselves.
They have no thought of saving
her steps or sorrow They have
only one thought: "Me first"
Grown-up people have the same
feeling but they have learned to
keep it under control; that is,
most of them have. Some never
do. Perhaps it is the sight or
memory of such a person that
makes it so hard for a parent tol
bear demonstrations of his child's
Selfishness. Perhaps it is the
knowledge that unless he learns
to keep this feeling in some pro-
portion that other people can ac-
cept he will be an outcast,
friendless and cordially disliked.
Consider the age and develop
ment of the child. The younger
ones are all Me. Only by gentle
suggestions, never by force, do
we teach the child of this age to
share, to think of somebody other
than himself first. To try to
make a 3-year-old child give
way to another when it comes
Ito sharing a birthday cake or
chocolate is to oppose his natural
growth and to court failure. Pro-
vide enough cake for everybody,
serve the birthday child first, as
his privilege. have enough choco-
late to divide equally among the
group or do not offer it.
But what about the 9-year-
old boy or girl who persists in be-
ing first always, who has to be
forced to take turns" who always
speaks first and loudest when
other people, even his elders,
are talking? He has carried
an infantile habit. prolonged a.
stage of his growth beyond the
usual limit, and we must teach
him first by example, then by ex-
perience, that being first always
is not important. and that insist
ing upon being so will warp his
personality, that is, make him an
unpleasant person who will be
Stunned and left out of every
thing that might be fun.
But words without deeds here
are useless. At his birthday party
he is to cut the cake, serve it,
and help himself last. He should
be sure that his piece is not the
largest, but that all are equal. ToI
assure that, mother can trace each
portion on the icing before he
cuts the cake.
When he wants to monopolize
the best position in the game,
hold fast to the swing or the bat.
He is to be told to take his turn,
and somebody must see that he
does so. If unselfishness is DEM
onstrated in the daily lives of
the family, the children are likely
to follow the pattern when their
stage of growth permits. Some
must be taught what others seem
