Dogs Keen Sense
OF Smell Observed !;
Timidity Cure
By Peter Boqqs


My wife and I halted our car
on a back road, deep in the
woods. There we ate a picnic
lunch. AS we always do we clean
ed UP everything afterward such
as egg shells. greasy paper, poul-
try bones, ETC., to take them
home to burn. But I carried
several bits of sandwiches deep
into the woods. far from the
road and scattered them there
in different places under the
leaves for such forest creatures
as might find them.
Just then, along the road trot-
ted a bone-thin female hound.
She came up to me to be petted
and to gobble our one remaining
sandwich. Then she lifted her
nose and shifted the air for an
instant. At once she was dashing
into the woods. From place to
place she hurried, finding and
devouring each fragment of
bread or of meat I had thrown
there. She didn't miss one of
them, far-scattered as they were.
In brief, despite the stronger
odor Of food which must have
chung around us and our car,
she caught the scent of those
titbits-two hundred feet way,
deep in the dead leaves and
located every morsel. To me,
that seems a miracle of hunger
driven seeming power.
Here's q tip for curing 81 dog
of timidness. For the timid and
nervous dog, not the shy dog
Gas shy dogs are such usually
by heredity and often are in
curable) try friendship and rough
handling. First win the complete
confidence of the dog, then play
with him roughly; seize him by
the skin, throw him on his back;
pat him vigorously, while speak
ing to him in a kindly tone of
voice. When you approach a
timid dog, do not reach for him
downward but always bring your
hand up to his face.

If your dog is suffering from
very sore pads, dip his entire
foot in warm pine tar once daily
for three of four days. If the
pads are infected, daub them
with iodine and consult a veter-
marian.

I have been asked how much
cod liver oil should be given a
cocker spaniel and how often.
A tablespoonful mixed in his reg
ular food three or four times q
week in the winter should be
sufficient. During the summer
months once or twice a week will
prove satisfactory and beneficial.

The rains will leach the nitro

there is little danger for the new

slow acting and is put on mostly
as a source of calcium.
That is the program for re-
building the old lawn-good

The New-Lown Problem
The new lawn is bit more of
a problem. The soil should be
properly prepared, humus incor-
porated into the soil, lime and
fertilizer can be put in at the
same time-25 pounds each per
1000 square feet. Then time
should be given for settling so
that the new lawn. will not in
herit a rash of hills and hol-
lows. Fall rains will help but
they may not come in time and
rolling may have to be resorted
to, although rolling tends to
compact the soil and undo all of
the value of tilling. However. as
Stunning that the surface is as
level as it can be made it is
ready for seeding. Sow all of the
grass seeds except the blue
grasses and stir them lightly
into the soil with a rake, brush,
or some other device. Then sow
the bluegrass if it is going to be
used, and lightly roll the surface
just enough to firm the soil
about the seeds. A straw mulch
is recommended to prevent the
surface from crusting and to
keep the seed from washing over
into the neighbor's yard. Clean
wheat straw is likely to be the
best Gree from weed seeds, and
scattered lightly so that it will
not smother the grass seedlings.
1t is best not to try to start
the seed into growth by watering
because once started it has to be
watered regularly until the last
seed has sprouted-and for blue
grass that means a month. The
fescue terminate in z to 10 days.
Cut the new lawn when it gets
3 or 4 inches tall. this is to
stimulate "stooling" when new
| shoots come from the base. Also
the moving helps to harden the
tissues and make them less sus-
ceptible to disease. If the cut
ting is started early enough and
the cuttings are not too heavy
they may be left, but the chances
are that they will need to be
raked and carried away. They
can smother the new grass just
as quickly as heavy layer Of
leaves from nearby trees.

Lily Of the VolIey
It is not too early to think
about remaking the lily -of- the
valley bed. Lift the plants and
place them in a cool. shady
situation until the bed can be
thoroughly revoked. The wal

been plentifully supplied with
well rotted COW manure, but,
lacking that hard-to-get oom-
modify, use rich compost. It need
not be dug in more than to
8 inches. Pull the plants apart
and space each section (called
pips) about 6 inches apart. If
placed closer, say 4 inches, then
the bed will have to be reworked
in three or four years; the wider
space permits it to last longer
until the flower stems being to
get short and the bells too small
for good show. Mulch well with
rotted leaves.

This Week in the Gurden

It is not too early to prepare
q bed or flats for the transplant
ing of seedlings that were started
a week or so ago. They should be
planted in a soil mixture of equal
parts of sand, compost or peat
moss, and garden loan. Mix
thoroughly and. If desirable, add
a cupful Of 5-10-5 fertilizer to
each bushel of this mixture.
Transplant the seedlings when
their first pair Of true leaves are

beyond the second pair. II all

or pot, the seedlings will be

ennials for tranSplanting to the
border this fall.
Rework Lily Beds
Now that the lily foliage has
begun to die down it is possible
to lift the bulbs and rework the
bed, a job that should be done
every four or five years. Rework-
ing the bed usually means lift
ing the bulbs. adding a generous
quantity of leafmold or peat
moss and mixing it thoroughly
into the soil. Bonemeal night
well be added at the same time
to add phosphate. When the soil
is in good condition, the bulbs
should be separated and reset
at 8 to IL inch spacings. Place the
bulbs at the proper depth. for
stem roofing bulbs (the kinds
that form roots on the stems
above the bulbs) the depth will
vary from 6 to IL inches, de-
pending upon the kinds. Basal
roofing bulbs Chose that have
roots only at the base Of the
bulb) are planted much more
shallowly. Some kinds. such as
the Madonna. need only a couple
of inches Of soil on top Of the
bulbs. Others\ may need 3 or 4
inches Of soil.
In planting lilies 1t Is always
well to place them on Q handful
of sand to insure perfect drain
age. Loose scaled bulbs should
be planted on their sides to pre-
vent water from collecting be-
tween the scales.

Episcopal Convention
Cancelled al Houston
ToAyoid Segregation
BY the Assoeiosed Press

NEW YORK. June 9.-The
Protestant Episcopal Church has
Cancelled plans to hold its 1855
convention In Houston, Tex,
rather than have its delegates
subject to possible segregation.
Where the convention will be
held instead has not been de-
eided. The number Of Negroes
who will attend also is unknown,
because the delegates will not
be elected until spring.
The Rt. Rev. Henry Knox
Sheriff.. presiding bishop of the
church. made the decision. He
announced it yesterday at a
meeting Of the convention ar
rangements committee.
Bishop Clinton S. Quin of the
Texas Episcopal Diocese said at
Houston that he was disappoint-
ed by the cancellation.
I'VE haven't withdrawn our
invitation and so far as I'm just
sitting still in the boat" Bishop
Quin said. II never quit"
Voted in 1852.
The church had voted at its
last general convention, in Bos-
ton in 1852. to accept the invi-
tation Of Bishop Quin to meet
in Houston. But even then there
had been debate as to whether
all delegates and guests would
receive equal treatment.
Bishop Sherill, in announcing
his decision. did not use the
word segregation, but q church
spokesman said that issue was
the deciding factor.
Entertained Grave Doubts.
II have the greatest affection
and respect for Bishop Quin,"
he said. Il have had grave
doubt as to the wisdom of taking
this responsibility.
However, in spite of these
conSlQeraClOnS, am convinced
that on both the international
and national level the scene has
altered radically even since the
general convention of 1852, in
deed within the past month"
(ThiS appeared to be a ref
erence to the Supreme Court
decision banning segregation
in public schools.)
The Anglican Congress, in
Minneapolis August 4, will be the
first gathering of Anglican and
Episcopal churchmen in this
country. The world council,
including 160 denominations
around the globe, will meet in

Cavaliers May Start
| Two D. {. Area Boys
In Game With Lehigh
Special Dispatch TO The stor

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va,
Sept. 24-Lehigh. a team Virginia
last met in 1941, helps the Cava-
liers open their 1854 football sea-
son here tomorrow. Game time
is 3 pm. Washington time.
In their last big workout yes
terday the Cavaliers used a
f1rst-team lineup that included
only two non-lettermen, Frank
Fannon at left guard and Henry
Jordan at right tackle. Both are
sophomores.
Fannon, from st. Johns High
in Washington. is a 195-pounder
whose defensive ability has been
especially noticeable. Jordan, at
225 pounds, is exceptionally fast
for a big man and has been a
strong candidate for a starting
assignment since practice began.
Virginia i'm Good Shape.
Most of the Cavalier players
are in good physical trim. Ex-
ceptions are Fullback Herman
Calling and End Charlie Mod
lin, who had been considered as
likely starters. Modlin, with leg
trouble. isn't likely to play this
week. while Calling, who has
been hampered by a cold, turned
out for practice yesterday and
probably will play. although not
as a starter.
Taking over for Calling, who
is returning to football after Sit
ting out last year because of aft
ernoon study classes, is the 1885,
pound Herb HartVell, who was
turned into a fullback last year
after a season at halfback. At
left end in place of Modlin will
be Bob Pogue, who won his letter
last year as substitute.
SchelhOrn Likely Starter.
Another likely starter tomor-
row is Carlton Schelhorn at left
tackle, a 225-pounder from
George Washington High OF
Alexandria who earlier in the
fall practiced with the No.
unit.
The Lehigh Virginia series
stands at three victories apiece
the Cavaliers having pulled ever
by winning the last two games
800 in 1910 and $40 in 1941
Before that, the two had not
met since 1909.
Lehigh. which won four game.
and lost five last year, is tabbee
as mostly a green team with
only eight lettermen on the
squad.
