Hot weather care of dogs
and cats is just common sense.
How would you feel in a fur
suit this weather?
Well, 60 on from there.
The dog perspires one way.
through its tongue, but the
cat doesn't seem to- sweat at
all. z
Nature takes care Of the
cats by making them lose most
Of their undercoat, and a part
Of the outer coat.
The dog needs water, the
cat not necessarily so.
Cats get enough liquids If
they are fed juicy meats, SAL
mon, and a little milk, but
not much.
Many do not drink at all,
even in hot weather.
What makes q cat drink is
kidney trouble. If your pet
wants to get into the bath tub
to drink all the time, you can
be pretty sure that it isn't the
heat, but some inner trouble.
The dog. on the other paw,
needs water, and plenty Of it.
He perspires, not as we do.
but from the tip Of the tongue.
and he needs a replacement
now and then.
Therefore, always keep a pan
of water for him. at some
known place The bowl should
be kept clean, but the water
need not be fresh, in the ordi-
nary sense Out in the yard
dogs often drink from stag
nant bird baths. and suffer no
injury.
Both cats and dogs benefit
from darkened rooms in very
hot weather.
This not only tends to keep
them cooler, but helps their
eyes.
The modern urge Of humans
to wear dark glasses in sum-
mer has its silly side, because
the eyes Of people are made to
stand sunlight. but the eyes Of
animals lack the lids to close.
It Is true there is O sensitive
way of making the eyes very
narrow. but this is not enough.
1t will be found that cats,
in hot weather, seek the shade,
and this is not only that their
coats are too heavy for sun
shine but also because their
eyes need the protection.
The fur Of animals is a
marvellous material, keeping
the creature warm in winter
and allowing some heat to es-
cape during summer.
Animal temperatures usually
run from one to three degrees
higher than the normal Of
human beings; the birds have
normal temperatures ranging
from 101 to Ill degrees.

New Reserve Formula

The series of compromises enacted
by the House and Senate in their sepa-
rate versions of the military reserve bill
tends to cloud the whole picture of the
size and makeup Of the armed forces
In the immediate future
J. In January of this year, President
Eisenhower called fo1 reduction in
manpower for all branches except the
Air Force-a determination that was op-
posed then by Army Chief of STAFF Ridg-
way and was disputed again by General
Ridgway In his now-disclosed letter Of
June 80 to Mr.. Wilson. Congress, how
ever, finally accepted-for the most part
the Eisenhower formula.
Significantly, in his January letter,
the President noted that improved re-
serve programs might prove the
decisive margin" in establishing the ade-
quacy of an active armed force such as
he proposed To this end, the admin
istration recommended legislation ex-
tending the selective service system for
four years (already approved by Con-
greSs) plus build-up of the reserves from
the present 800,000-man level, including
the National Guard, to strength of
about 2.9 million men by the end of 1859.
The first major compromise in this pro-
gram came in the House where deadlock
over an antisegregation amendment
resulted in the National Guard being
SequeStered from the other organized
reserve units. In addition, veterans
whose service dates prior to July q, 1858,
the date of the Korean truce, would not
be compelled to enroll in reserve units.
The Senate has now compromised further
on this compulsory factor, applying it
only to men who may enlist or be drafted
after 80 days from enactment of the
legislation. AS an "inducement" to vet
Grams of earlier enrolment the Senate
has approved plan for bonus payments
for reserve enlistment. House and SEN
ate are in substantial agreement, how
ever, on one administration proposal,
namely, that teen-age youths may volun-
= teer for six months basic training with
an obligation to remain in the ready
reserves for an added 71a years (the ad-
ministration originally recommended
9a-year reserve obligatory.
AS practical matter, the greatest
weakness of the two bills now going to
conference probably is the absence of any
compulsion upon today's veterans to re-
main in the reserves. Administration
spokesmen already have estimated it may
set back by two years the realization of
2.9-million- ready reserve This,
in turn, may force revised estimate of
the needs in terms of active manpower.
Even SO. House and Senate conferees
have an opportunity to adjust present
differences in way to give the military
establishment a working foundation for
an effective reserve program. That much
would be progress.

In the face Of terrifying
stories about gangs. fighting.
mugging and murder by teen
age hoodlums. it pleased me
to come last week upon some
quite different reports of
young activity.
At this moment, a boy and
two girls who last month re-
ceived their high school di-
plomas are spending their
holidays abroad: Connie with
a farm family in Brittany;
Johnny in the home of a fac
tory worker in Lisle;; Anne
with a merchant and his fam
lily in small city in Belgium.
The three are part of a stu
dent project in International
living. They'll all come home
in September with a smatter-
ing or better of a new Lam
guage, q closer acquaintance
with men. women and young
sters of another land and. I
should think. broader horizons.
greater understanding and
sympathy.
' 1t seems to me that this ex-
change of students may pos
sibly be the most important
activity in international un-
derstanding now going on.
At Comics high school COM
mencement late in June the
boy who got the biggest hand
as he went up to accept his
chemistry medal was a young
Viennese who spent the year
with a local family and at
tended high school. He was
popular, he was a good stu
