LI I) _ By a recent count there were well over 685,000 dogs in the little country of Belgium. Most of these are faith- ful workers. In all nine of the Belgian provinces, dogs are used-to- pull the light carts of bread and wilk and other supplies of the door-to-door salesman. Tourists who visit Belgium ond jec. so many dogs working for theft living are likely to criticize this custom, but they will be glad to learn that" humane laws have been enacted for the protection of the dogs. Here are some of the dog laws; "All dogs must be harnessed to the carts in such a manner that at each stop they can lie 'down, if they wish, and rest their heads upon their paws. In bad weather when it rains or snows, at each stop the cart driver must see to it that he puts a sack or mat on the street cobblestones under the dog; when it's very cold, each dog must be provided with at least an oil- cloth cape from shoulders to tail.
