THE ALEXANDRIA man is
sure that the heat caused his
duel with the Doberman pin
scher.
He had moved his bed into
the living room downstairs to
escape the heat. He was
struggling to raise a window
when the Doberman, outside,
saw him and, obviously con-
fused by the heat, thought
someone was on the outside
trying to break in. The dog
lunged at the window, now
open far enough to admit the
animals head and one paw.
Our Alexandria friend
grabbed an old Navy sword
from the wall and Tended of
the Doberman until its mas
ter could retrieve it by the
collar. He says he wasn't mad
at the dog, despite the fright
1t gave him. He just pointed
to the thermometer and said:
Real dog days."

The plus-9O heat got to

The foreman on q Pepco
under the street job at
Eleventh street and New York
avenue was wearing-at 2
o'clock in the morning = his
white sun helmet.
A young lady in q down.
town Office building sat on the
steps In a warm stair well
much of the day reading, be-
cause she didn't like the air
conditioning in her Office.
She had lost her battle with
the men to have 1t turned
down.
The fountain in front of
the National Gallery Of Art
took on the appearance of a
bubble bath, brought on by a
combination Of one urchin
and one box of soap powder.
A man sat disconsolately in
front of a discount house. His
chair was a Grated window
fan. He alternately wiped
perspiration from his face
and peered petulantly at his
wrist watch, impatient for
whatever transportation he
had arranged for to pick him
up SO he could go home and
put the fan to work.

gagged in swordplay with a

ing room, all because Of the
