Days Excursion From Paris
Offers Beauty of Chortres

CHARITIES, France-Among
the joys of Paris during the fine
weather months. which have al
ready begun. is the assortment of
interesting places in the environs.
These neighboring sights, many
of them world-famous, are enough
of an excuse to get out into the
country, sop up a little culture.
Such a place is Chartres, a
bustling town dominated spiritu-
ally and physically by the re-
nowned cathedral, and decorated
with a handsome assortment of
medieval houses. You see the ca
thedral rising up out Of the plain
on the approach to Chartres, and
lit gives the impression that it
stands alone.
You get view of the spires and
then another, better vista with
the river rEure streaming in
front. and then finally you're in
the square. The guides take you
right to the front portal. but
you'll find you have to walk way
back as far as you can to get a
full view. and even then all the
building won't fit into your cam
era viewer.
Chartres isn't in Brittany, but
that more geographical fact isn't
enough to dissuade three Breton
women, all wearing their foot
high, starched headgear. from
taking up vendors position in
front of the cathedral. They sell

The Virginia Fertilizer Grade

use on steep Southwest Virginia
hillsides where fertilizer must be

The committee, which decides
what grades manufacturers may
sell in Virginia, also approved an

present 0-14-14. which remains on
the approved list.
It eliminated the low analysis

Dogs

many more will die. Here is why,
At this time of year shade and
fruit trees are sprayed. The chief
element in most of these sprays
is acetate of lead. deadly poison.
The spray is pumped onto the
trees, but much of it is blown onto
grass for many yards in every
direction. Much of it drops from
the trees onto the grass below.
Then along comes a dog happy at
the chance to chew fresh spring
grass. He may swallow enough
acetate of lead to make him
deathly i'll or enough to kill him.
Enough dogs die each year to
make this a very real danger to
all of them living in the country.
That is why once each year ]
bring these facts to the attention
of the readers of this column
Bear these facts in mind the next
time a tree-spraying outfit is at
work in your neighborhood and
restrain your dog until after a
rainstorm has washed away or
diluted much of the poison that
has fallen onto the grass.
People who raise dogs think
springtime should also be puppy
time. They claim that pups born
in the early spring have the best
chance for a healthy life, and this
may be more or less true. I don't
say it is not, though some of the
hardest of my own dogs were born
in midwinter. I have checked on
pups born at all times of the year
and actually I cannot discover
that the season of their birth made
any difference in their health.
Of course, pups born in the early
spring gain some slight headway
before the summer fleas begin to
rob them of their spirits and appe-
tite. Also, there is less danger OF
injury from icy weather than for
winter-born pups, but any sensible
breeder can arrange for the COM
fort and safety of pups born in
cold weather and can easily pro-
tect them from winters hazards
BY reasonable care. the pup born
in the spring or summer can be
kept free from fleas, too.
In brief, the time of year ir
which your pups are born is in
|finitely less important than the
care you give them after birth
That is what counts.

There is an odd bond between
dogs and geese. BY nature they
are friends. Many dogs and geese
live happily in the same incloS-
ureS, and rely on one anothers'
presence there. I had not known
of any authentic case of dog
and a goose fraterniZing until
heard the following true story.
The dog was Tippy, a terrier.
The goose was named Honky.
They shared the grounds of their
owners estate. and they were for
ever quarreling. Tippy tried to
kill Honky. Honky tried to kill
Tippy. Then after a car accident,
the terrier was stricken blind. On
the first day he was let out, CROP
ing and helpless on the lawn.
Honky noticed his vacant brown
eyes.
"She stared, poised in bewilder-
ment, was told. Then she came
over to Tippy and honked persist
entity until the dog followed her to
the pool where he always drank.
From that day on the goose be-
came the dogs eyes, guiding him
past holes and obstacles, chasing
away belligerent stray dogs"
This is a good tale and I believe
lit. Geese have the reputation of
being silly. This repute is not de-
served. They have a lot of sense
which is proved by the above
story.
Every spring hundreds of dogs
are needlessly killed. This spring

their military during the war.
Elsewhere in Chartres, the
local citizens were whooping it up
at a carnival that looked pretty
much like a carnival anywhere.
There were merry-go-rounds and
dodgem cars and barkers selling
chunks of nougat. At one corner
an exhibit called the Nouveau
Museum was trying to draw the
customers with a loud and scratchy
recording of Jingle Bells" It
was a lurid show inside the tent,
the signs assured every one, but
business wasn't very good.
Nearby the old houses of Char
tres looked down tolerantly and
with the understanding born only
OF maturity. Many of the half
timbered houses date from the
18th and 18th centuries. Any one
in search of a 18th century house

BY University Women

The South Atlantic Region of
the American Association of Uni

Congress to appropriate the $6,-
AT, ,7a0,750 for foreign aid au-
thorized in the Mutual Security
Act of 1852.
The association, concluding a

for national and international
peace and security" It pointed
out that support of international
cooperation requires decisive &C
ton as the need arises" and to
that end called on Congress to
approve the appropriation now
before it.
President Truman originally
asked Congress to appropriate $7.9
billion for foreign aid. House and
Senate conferees agreed on the
lower figure.
Congress also was urged to pro-
vide funds where expansion of
school population is chargeable
to increased Federal activity in
the area"
School Needs Aired.
Mrs. r. O. Stelzer of College
Park, Md, pointed out that a bill

Mrs. Charles S. Goode Of Ar
lington said, 1--WE in Arlington
have had to get our own money
to accommodate the children who
have moved into our area as a
result Of Washington's growth.
Children go to school in Arlington
and their parents work in the
District. Sometimes the commu-
nifty cannot raise the money to
take care Of this situation"
Speakers from other cities noted
that similar conditions prevailed
in their areas.
Another resolution approved ex-
pressed opposition to a Fair
Trade" bill now before the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee. It asserted a provi-
sion establishing minimum resale
