Guilty by appointing himself as his
masters Hearing Ear.
Before any huma nbeing could
detect the rumble of boulders
coming down the mountain, the
dog would be on his feet, thrusting
his nose sharply against his mas
ter's knee as a signal to get to a
place Of safety. Many times, it is
reported. the dog saved his master
from possible death by his eternal
vigilance. And, without his dog,
the man would not have been able
to have kept his job.
Any deaf person who owns q
dog will tell you that his pet helps
him hear by the animals reaction
to normal sounds unheard by him
self. q.
Not long ago I was asked to
address a group of school children.
Afterward they asked me a lot of
Questions, one of which was why
did people cut dogs tails and ears?
1t made me think along the lines
of the following:
Mother Nature was on the job.
thousands of years before you or
I or any of our dogs were born
You can't improve on her rules.
1t has been tried many a time
with humans. 1t has resulted in
an enlargement of countless ceme-
teries. It has been tried with dogs
and with them has been almost as
much of a failure as with their
owners. For example:
Fashion decreed that certain
varieties of dogs should have their
naturally overlapping ears cropped
short or into spearhead forma-
tions. Fashion decreed that the
same and other breeds of dogs
should be despoiled of their nat
urally-long tails and should be
equipped only with useless stumps.
Why?
If nature mad not had a useful
reason for giving lop ears toI
Great Danes and to similar dogs.
then nature would have made
those ears short or spe dr-snaped.
If nature had not a speUi;,i reason
for giving long and powerful tails
to Irish terriers, etc. she woul1
not have made them long tailed
1t is proven that the natural
ears serve a purpose So do the
natural long tails. Otherwise ma
ture would net have constructed
them. BY cropping your dogs
ears or by docking his tail, you
are doing much damage to him.
1t wasn't until a few years
ago that the Office of Dog WhipS
per" became extinct in the
churches of England Years ago
churches were frequented by dogs,
some homeless and others accom-
panying their masters to services.
Each year the church would ap-
point an official "dog whipper"
whose duties were to drive out
strays before the services began
and then to keep order among the
dogs that accompanied their
masters to church and who were
allowed to remain in the pews
with them.
The person holding the Office
was paid a yearly salary For
many years the early churches in
this country also appointed an
official "dog whipper" but the
Office soon died out.

u. ). Funds Owed DC.
Proposed as sFinancinu

The West End Citizens Associa-
ton suggested at its meeting last
night that the District could easily
finance the proposed 1919 million
public works program by collecting
the $400 million Congress owes the
District.
The $400 million represents the
difference between what Congress
has actually appropriated and the
40 per cent considered the Fed
leral share of District expenses
prior to 1882.
The association passed a resolu-
|tion asking the District Commits
|sioners to defer action on increas-
ing taxes and water rates until an
open meeting is held by the Citi-
|zens' Committee on Public Works
to consider methods of financing
the improvements.
Lester H. Steinem, who proposed
the resolution, suggested that the
public "endeavor to regain some
portion of the amount Congress
has failed to pay the District over
the past 20 years." Mr.. Steinem
is chairman of the Committee on
Fiscal Relations and Taxation of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
He offered an alternative recon-
|mendation, which asks the Federal
Government to pay for half of the
public works project and loan the
District the other half without in
|tereSt.
After the resolution was passed,
Mr.. Steinem was elected president
OF the association.
The other new officers selected
at the meeting, at 20O3 I street
NV. are Miss Dorothy M. Kane
Mrs. Zoe Robinson and John ".
Duley, vice presidents; William H.
Wagner, treasurer, and Mrs. Will
