Early Printing Houses in Woshinqton

in February. 1862. All three have
long since passed away.
McGill & Witherow, like Gibson
Bros. and the other big print
ing Offices, always employed a big
force of printers, preSsmen, book
binders. feeders and folders. At
first they were located at Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue
but later, and for many years,
conducted their establishment at
1107 E street NV. The rec
ords show that Thomas McGill
became a member of the union in
August, ~1848, and his partner,
James M. Witherow, in June, 1852.
Thomas McGill & Co., and later
McGill & Wallace, became the
successors Of the old firm. which
was originally started by Thomas
McGill.
Gideon & Pearson had their
printing Office at the southwest
corner Of D and Ninth streets, in
the building in which the Grand
Lodge Of Masons and several sub
ordinate Masonic lodges met prior
to moving to Ninth and F streets.
George S. Gideon, the senior
member of the company was the
son of Jacob Gideon, jr., the son
of Jacob Gideon, ST.. all of whom
were identified with the printing
business in Washington for many
years. The junior member of the
firm, Joseph L. Pearson, succeeded
to the business, and will be best

Dogs
By Peter Boaos

More dogs pine aWay-"die of
broken heart" is the poetical way
of putting it-than most of us
may realize. Here is one more
true instance to prove it:
Rags was a shaggy and rather
shabby dog that belonged to Pa
trolman Anthony Mayrua of the
Atlantic City, N. j., police force.
Many of you will remember Rags,
if you have happened to visit that
New Jersey resort. for Mayrua
usually was on duty at one of the
railroad stations, Nand Rags acted
Jas a volunteer reception commit
tee for people alighting from
trains.
For more than eight years the
shaggy dog served in this well
coming capacity, winning for him
self countless friends. Then, be-
cause he was getting on in years.
his master decided Rags needed a
short vacation from his daily du-
ties at the stations. So he ar
ranged to board him as a luxury
guest" at the local ASPCA shell
ter. Visitors helped raise the
money for his board there.
The good old dog evidently
Thought he had been deserted by
Ibis owner and by his throng Of
friends and that he had been sem
into exile among strangers. In Z
flew days he sickened and ther
ldied from loneliness.
It is not we'll to send an old Of
lSick dog away from home. The dos
docs not understand.
If you are a parent you will
remember the long and painful
time it took your children to Gu
their teeth and the teethin&
rings you gave them to exercise
their gums and to ease a little O
the hurt. Many children, deprived
Iof teething rings. try to cut theil
teasing teeth on anything els'
they can find. So it is with tn,
young puppy you just scolded TO,
gnaWing a rug or a curtain o.
one of your shoes. He has 4.
teeth-not just 80 like u
humans. And he has GU
most of them by the time he il
seven months old. The gums itch
and burn. He tries to remedy thi'
by gnawing at the nearest objec1
which he thinks might lighter
his annoyance. It is not a cas'

or it can be a picture of the little
fellows engaged in some childish
activity. Young people or adults

Where the center of interest OF

Jose Echague Prints
10 Go on Display at
Smithsonian

Jose Ortiz Echague of Madrid,
Spain, one of the worlds fore
most pictorial photographers, will
be represented at the Smith
Isonian Institution during May and
June by a 44-print, one-man show.
Senor Echague is known as q
master among pictorialists and is
the acknowledged leader in the
field of Fresson printing, a car
bon process. Few have equaled
the splendid tonal qualities re-
vealed by the Spaniard's delicate
use of the difficult Fresson me-
Idium which he employs with equal
facility in rendering portraits or
Landscapes.
A study of the work of Senor
Echague reveals an instructive ap-
probation of the finer points of
composition and dramatic light
ing by the artist, whose splendid
work has been familiar here and
abroad for many years. A re-
ligious motif is found in many OF
his pictures, while others are gra-
phic representations of the Span
ish countryside and Old World
customs. His work stands head
and shoulders above the efforts OF
most of his contemporaries. The
exhibit is considered the finest of
pictorial photography ever to be
held in this country.
The Echague salon Is co-spon-
sored by the Smithsonian's section
of photography and the Amer
lean Society of Photographic Art
It is open to the public Sundays
and week days, 9 to 4:30 in the
northwest gallery of the Arts and
Industries Building.

In the past few years we have
heard much about vitamins. The
study of vitamins has been con-
fined almost entirely to human
foods, but by applying this knowl-
edge to the feeding of dogs. very
beneficial results can be obtained.
Dogs, like humans, suffer from
the lack of certain elements in
their food. Many of the minor
canine skin ailments can ',e
traced to improper feeding. When
dog is fed an increased amount
of vitamin A the skin trouble US
ually disappears quickly.
When your dog suffers from
loss of coat or other skin trouble
take him to a veterinarian for
advice and proper treatment. If
the condition is not too serious.
first try feeding your dog less and
increasing the amount of vegeta-
bles in his diet. Mix the vegetables
with raw lean meat. Often this
| is all that is needed and you need
not consult wet" If the skin
trouble doesn't clear up quickly
after a change in diet, don't put
off taking your pet to a veterin-
arian. The trouble may be trace
able to something other than in
correct feeding.
