Sheep Outlook
More Attractive

The sheep business is begin
ming to look more attractive than
the cattle business. a VPI extern
sion agricultural economist says.
DR.. j. L. Maxton said. from a
returns standpoint" at least,
sheep look like the better bet.
This in spite of the fact that
wool prices tumbled from an all
time high in 1851 ($1.03 pei
pound in Virginia. 81 cents for
the United States as a whole) to
less than half of that in 1852.
Mr.. Maxton indicated that the
sheep business looks good be-
cause the cattle business looks
worse, since already-low cattle
prices continue their decline.

Some Dogs Are Short Sighted,
Tests by OcuIists Reveal
By Peter Boqgs

You may soon be taking your
dog to a dog oculist for glasses.
Some veterinarians have expert
mented and have found that al
though dogs usually have good
eyesight. some are short-sighted.
The first procedure was to test
the dogs eyes. Instead of the
familiar eye chart Of different
sized letters, they used a bone on
which the dog had been allowed
to knaw. It was then taken from
him and suspended Is or Is feet
away. Lenses were then fitted
In a special frame, until the dog
saw the bone and tried to grab
1t. This was just one of the tests
used. The frame consists of two
cross pieces of light metal and
an elastic loop that fits around
the snout and holds them in
the proper place. So don't be
surprised If one of these days
you see a dog. wandering around
with q queer expression on his
face, that seems to say, ''I can't
find my glasses. I wonder where
] put them"
To no poet and to no other
human does spring mean as
much as to your dog. If you live
in the country or the suburbs, to
your dog spring means a rebirth
Of life; a. chance to wander far
af1eld once more; to crop the
first spring grass which means
so much to his health.
Even if you live in a big city,
take time to give your dog a
long and unleashed run in the
country as often as possible dur
ing these early spring days. Not
merely for his pleasure but for
his physical well being. He is
sadly in need of such out-of-
town exercise after the months of
confinement and the wrong kind
Of diet.
Last year I wrote about a dog
whose master fastened a red
light on a saddle to his pets
back before letting him out at
night. Not only did the light
help to keep track of the animal.
but it protected him from being
run over by automobiles.
Here is another suggestion to
safeguard dogs that are at large
at night: Put a collar around his
neck that has number of re-
flecting glass buttons on it. Then
when the headlights of an ap-
preaching automobile strike the
dog, these glass buttons will re-
feet a red light, warning the
driver Of the car of the presence
Of the animal.
The late George Leighton de-
scribed at much length his YER
sion Of the origin of the splendid
''fiat-coated retriever" I be-
Meve the tale is colFect, and also
interesting. D.
According to Leighton, q group
Of British sportsmerl. more than
a century ago, decided that the
average pointer, setter or spaniel
left something to be desired when

his life. Then he became an in
ventor.
Morse gained some knowledge
of electricity while he was a STU
dent at Yale, but electricity was
only one of his many college
studies. Painting seemed more
important to him, and he went
into that field as a life work.
Until about the time of his
forty-first birthday, Morse made
his living as an artist. People
paid him we'll for the portraits
he painted. On his return from
long visit in Europe, he was
filled with the idea of produc-
ing a successful electric tele-
graph system.
After five years Of work on the
invention, he gave a public dis
play at the College of the City
of New York. This interested a
few businessmen, and they
agreed to provide money in re-
turn for shares in the profits.

By Ramon Coffmon

1t is hard to say how far Morse
would have gone with his inven-
ton except for help from the
American government. Congress
voted money to set up a tele-
graph line between Baltimore
and Washington. This line was
a success, and proved a boon to
the inventor, who was SO years
old when the first "long dis
tance" telegraph message was
sent.
The electric telegraph came
into use ahead of the telephone.
Samuel Finley Breese Morse
made his first public display al
most 40 years before Alexander
Graham Bell exhibited his tele-
phone at an exposition in Phil
adelphia.

The telegraph, as well as the
telephone, needs electricity to
carry sounds for long distance.
Samuel F. B. Morse, an Amer
ican, and Charles Wheatstone,
an Englishman. were pioneers
who saw the need for electricity
in making a telegraph system.
Each applied for patent in his
own country in the same year.
The general view is that the
Morse system was better, but
Wheatstone should receive due
honor for his work. Later in

"Well?" asked the latter.
The crictic held his fin
gers to his nose.

Il don't know how they

look at any stage photo
graph of himself, no mat

expression what compost

when the picture was taken.
One night at his home,
he was showing a friend
his photo album. The friend
scrutinized a photograph in
which Koussevitzky had a
fierce and panied look on
his face.
II think I can guess what
you were conducting here"
said the friend. 1T must
have been something deeply
emotional "a Beethoven

NO" said KouSsevitzky.

The bidding:
South West North East
INT Pass 2NT Pass
3NT All pass
The situation involved is a
common one so that adopting
the principle Mr.. Dale followed
is bound to be helpful.
Mr.. Champion led the ten of
clubs and Mr.. Dale won with the
ace. He returned the seven spot
and was surprised when it won.
Miss Brash suspected the true
club distribution and she ducked
in the hope she might force Mr..
Champion to lead into the king
Jack later in the hand.
Obviously Mr.. Dale had to
shift at trick three, Diamonds
looked hopeless and he properly
decided his best bet was a spade.
Now the usual lead from this
spade holding is the jack, es-
pecially when there is nothing
in the suit on your right.
But this was a special case. He
had no further entries to his
hand. All future leads by his
side would have to come from
his partner. If Mr.. Champion
was hard-pressed for a lead
later wouldn't it be better if Mr..
Dale still had the jack of
spades?
He thought so and led the six
spot. Miss Brash had nothing
to gain by ducking and so she
won with the ace. She then led
the ten of hearts, killed the
queen with the ace and led the
eight back. Mr.. Champion won
with the queen and, thanks to
MI. Dale's foresight, got out
safely with a low spade.
Mr. Dale's jack forced the
king and after caShing two more
hearts Miss Brash took a second
round of diamond f1nesse, losing
to the queen. Mr.. Champion
cashed two spades to beat the
hand.
If Mr.. Dale had led the jack
of spades at trick three. Mr..
Champion would have been in
a hopeless position after winning
the second round of hearts.
Then any return he made
would have given Miss Brash
her ninth trick.
