Wotchdog's Major
Value Is Giving
Aloud Alarm
By Peter Boqqs

A watchdog is one that
watches over his masters home
and gives an alarm promptly
whenever a stranger approaches.
especially at night. He is not
necessarily dog big enough and
savage enough to tear such a
strangers throat, though a
watch dog which will, as a last
resort, follow up his warning
bark with a bite, has much value
of his own. In ordinary circum-
stances, a watchdog which
weighs IS pounds or even 3
pounds, may sound an alarm
loud enough to raise the house.
hold.
There is an old maxim which
is very true. 1t is this: "One
good watchdog inside the house
IS worth more than two good
watchdogs outside" Poisoned
meat or a blow on the head with
q club may make the outdoor
watchdog useless. but the dog
waiting alertly indoors is far
harder for a thief to deal with.
Think twice before Furnishing
your dog for barking at daylight
visitors. Otherwise he may not
bark when midnight visitors
break in.

Mrs. J. C. writes:

GS4I o. u ~ "LIJNOs
IAN idle question came up in
the course of talk. But now,
among my friends and me, it has
become a matter for rather hot
discussion, with no decision. So
we are putting it up to you. The
question is: Do dogs like and
obey and give their loyalty more
to men than to women? Or
more to women than men?"
I wrote Mrs. j. C. that I was
afraid she and her friends would
have to keep on arguing; that I
wouldn't answer her question be-
cause I didn't know the answer.
1t deals with something 1 never
have studied or even thought
about-that is. until now. And
even after a little thought I just
don't know which dogs prefer
masters or miStresses. What do
you readers think?
Their are one or two ways to tell
the age of a dog. Perhaps you
have heard of the old saying. "A
dog is as old as his teeth" This
may be true, yet I have known
young dogs with worn, decayed
or missing teeth, and old dogs
whose teeth are white, strong
and perfect. So the condition of
a dogs teeth is not really a reli-
able indication of his age. How
ever, here is one way to make a
shrewd guess at it: Study the
elbows. Many years of lying
down and getting up will leave
their traces on the patch of
gristle which marks canine ell
bows. The older the dog. the
larger and lumpier and more
pronounced is this patch of ell
bow skin.
If you find it advisable to give
cows milk to very young puppies
shortly after their birth, be sure
to boil the milk, dilute it with
one part warm water and add a
little sugar. Sometimes it is nee
esSary that mCtherleSS puppies
be weaned on cows milk. The
above mixture should be given to
them every two hours for the
first week or So When the pups
are 3 weeks old, add some
beef juice to their diet. Undiluted
milk may also be given them at
this time, but again l suggest
that the milk be boiled first.
When they are weeks old,
you may give them lean ham,
burger in small amounts.
Remember also that puppy
should be fed at least four times
a day until he is or months
old.
@. Are carrots and boiled
onions good for dog? My Scot

A. Those vegetables mixed with
his other food will not do him
any harm; in fact, they should

higher, but often a st. Bernard
will weigh more.

In her exercise role as a raider,
the SWiftsure had lodged both
air and sea attacks. Earlier this
week, American airmen under

mistakenly attacked the Van
guard.
The SwlftSure, armed with a
main battery of nine 6-inch
guns, was completed in 1914.

British Labor Parry
Beats Off Backing
Of Naturalization
BY the Associated Press

MARGATE, England, Sept. 80.
The Labor Party conference
rejected by So margin a leftist
attempt today to commit the
party to the naturalization of
a wide range of British indus
tries.
Although the vote STAYED off
a decisive split between the mod
crate trade union leaders and the
left wing. the preceding debate
showed the labor movement
hopelessly divided on the ques-
.tion of further ventures into
state ownership.
Earlier, the party's national
Executive Committee allowed the
introduction on an emergency
basis of a resolution attacking
the recently signed United States
defense pact with Franco Spain.
Sinister Appearance Feared.
The resolution, which will be
debated tomorrow, claims the
pact tends to put a sinister
countenance on the whole idea
of the North Atlantic alliance.
A Labor government, headed by
former Premier Clement Attlee,
was in power in Britain when
the NATO pact was signed.
The pro-national1zatlon move
was backed by le1t-wing repre-
Sentatives of many local party
organizations and a few unions
that Communists have. infil-
trated. It spanked battle be-
tween those who think swift and
complete naturalization should
be the party'S main goal and
others who doubt the wisdom of
rushing into new fields.
Arthur Deakin, blunt-speaking
head of the great Transport and
General Workers Union, led the
attack against the proposal.
Heckled and jeered by leftists in
the hall, Mr.. Deakin shouted:
Don't drive us (the trade
unions) into a position of falling
out and breaking with the
party"
Conference SObered.
His threat sobered the con-
ference. 1t also ripped apart the
facade of labor unity carefully
built up here since the confer
ence opened Monday.
The leftist amendment urging
wide naturalization - including
aircraft and engineering indus
tries, machine tool making, elec-
trical equipment, ship building
and ship repairing industries
was defeated 4.449, ,OO0-1 ,797, 900.
The more than 1000 delegates
cast votes on the basis of the
memberships of their local party
organizations or trade unions.
