My mail at this time Of year is
unusually heavy with questions
on how to train young pups. Un-
doubtedly this is due to the hum
drers or new pups that came into
new homes at Christmas.
The first thing to teach any
young dog is to come when called.
Once the animal has mastered
this lesson, you can start on
lothers. and one which is rather
important is teaching him to
|l"heel." That is, teaching him to
walk close and to remain there
until a second command allows
him to run ahead. If you will stop
to consider the perils he will
encounter. you will understand
the need for such training.
/ If your dog stays at your side
or at your heel. and if you employ
Ordinary sanity, you can walk
with him anywhere and every
where, with no danger to him. He
should be taught the trick while
he is young.
To teach a dog to heel, keep
Saying ''heel' over and over
again. in firm. quiet voice, and
at the same time draw (not jerk
the leash steadily back toward
you until the dog is where you
want him to be. Then, if he tries
to run forward or lag behind, re-
peat the command "heel" and
pun him into position again,
When he has learned the mean
ing of the order-and usually he
will learn it quickly-try him
without the leash; using simply
the word Of command. Praise and
pet him for obeying it. Know
ledge of "heel" may save your
dogs life.
Do you know what dew-claws
are? They are useless claws at
the back Of some dogs legs. a
little above the foot and fastened
there by soft cartilage instead of
bone. There are usually pair of
them; occasionally one on each
leg. And have seen dogs with
but a single one.
What use they were put to by
nature in the first place, I don't
know. but they serve no pur-
pose now.
/ am writing all this because If
your dog has dew-claws, you are
likely to meet some expert who
will tell you that they ought to be
cut of. In my opinion this is not
true. I can't see what harm they
do. and the amputation is as pain
full as it is needless. They are
supposed to impede a dog in the
hunting field, though have never
found that they did. Also they are
supposed to spoil the symmetry OF
the foot and lower leg. though
many a show dog has them.
In Los Angeles, Calf, lives
a man who claims he never turns
the lights on or of In his living
room. Ee lets his dog do it. r. C.
Ransom osf that city trained his
dog Rusty. Each evening when
dusk approaches the dog goes to
two or three lamps and by pulling
10 special long cord turns them on
Then when the family gets ready

to retire at night they simply tell
the dog that 1T is time to go to
bed" and the dog again goes to
the lamps and yanks the cords,
extinguishing the lights.
II you should come across a
blind person with a Seeing Eye"
dog and ask him the dogs name
the chances are he would spell it
out to you. This is a wise policy
and the blind person is not being
funny but is displaying good COM
mon sense. Here's why:
A blind person with a Seeing
Eye dog invariably attracts a lot
OF attention. Many strangers ap-
proach the pair and as means of
striking up an acquaintance almost
all start of by asking the name
OF the dog. If the dogs owner
didn't spell it out the animal would
hear his name so often that he
might not obey rapidly when
addressed by 1t. In fact, I know
some blind people who invent some
odd name for their dogs under
such circumstances. This too is a
wise policy on the dog owners
part.
@. Should I ever cut my dogs
toenails like I do my own?-W. P.
A. Sometimes a dog deprived of
exercise will need to have his toe
nails cut. However, don't try to do
it yourself. Take the animal to a
veterinarian. He has the proper
instruments and the knowledge to
do 1t without harming the dog.
@. Some one told me you advised
feeding orange juice to a dog. Our
little cocker refuses to drink his.
What will we do?-D. c. r.
A. I have said that orange Juice
is beneficial for a dog. But I also
suggested that 1t be mixed in with
his regular food once a week or so.

to getting ready. Pots and flats
should be cleaned and soil brought
indoors. where it will dry out suf-
f1ciently to be screened and made
ready. Labels may be given a
fresh coating Of paint so that they
will remain legible. And all
wooden boxes. flats and stakes
might well be given a coating of
the copper distinfectant sold un-
der various trade names which
prevents decay. It is the best
wood protection for the home gar
dener'S use.
Now that the compost pile has
settled it will pay to add more
leaves and weeds as the winter
cleanup progresses. The more
compost available the better for
the garden. Few of us are able to
make more than a fraction of
the quantity needed for soil i'm
provement and mulching. Decay
is slow during the wintertime,
when low temperatures slow down
bacterial action.
There are three steps to good
gardening that might we'll be
taken now. First, make the gar
den plan. Second. order seeds,
plants and bulbs for early spring
delivery. And, third. get tools and
equipment into proper shape, so
that when work starts all will be
in readiness.

which nine countries will cele-
brate this event.

however. will be only for men,
bers of the colony living in Wash
ington and the surrounding areas.
But the September observances
are different in another way, too.
Five of the holidays-all Cen
tral American countries-fall on
the same date, September Is.
These governments. Costa Rica,
Ell Salvador. Guatemala. Hon
duras and Nicaragua, received
their independence simultaneous
ly from Spain in 1921.
Plans Undecided
Plans for a celebration at the
Guatemala Embassy are indefinite
since the new Ambassador and
Sonora de Toriello are not due
in Washington until sometime
next week. They will be accom-
panied by their children, and
whether they will have time to
arrange a party, only time will
tell. If they do, it undoubtedly
will be for Guatemalans only.
There is a problem at the Hon
duran Embassy. too-one that has
prevailed for the past three years.
Since the Ambassador, DR..
Rafael Heliodoro Vale, also repre-
Sents his country as Governor to
the international Bank and to
the World Bank, he is required to
do a lot of travelling. He will be
away on the 18th and the Charge
d'Affaires, Senior Romeo Aguero,
will be forced to serve as host this
year, if there is to be party, as
the Charge d'Affaires has for the
last two years.
Embassy officials say If there is
a party it will be quite small since
there are only IS Hondurans, other
than staff members, in Wash
ington.
DR.. Vale and his wife, who goes
with her husband on most all of
his trips, will leave the Capital on
Monday or Tuesday for California,
from where they will go to
Mexico City. In the latter place
the annual meetings of the Inter-
national Monetary Fund and the
1nternational-Bank will be held,
starting September 2. They are
expected to last until the 18th
and it will be several days after
that before the Wales get back in
this city.
At Library Opening
In California, DR.. Vale will be
present for the opening at STAN
ford University of a library named
after a Honduran, Raymon Rosa,
considered one of the greatest
political thinkers in central Amer
lea; a prolific writer, and at one
time Minister of Foreign Affairs
