It was indeed a lovely day long to be remembered by all!! If you happen to see Felix Matzat looking kind of sad and disheartened these days, he's got a very good reason to be so! Two weeks ago, Felix attended a meat packers' convention held at the Palmer House. i During the evening of festivities, Felix's good time was cut snort by the discovery of having lost his wallet. He immediately reported it gone, but to this date has heard nothing. As we all know, as much as we miss the money lost, our papers we carry inside are the most important. We certainly hope you may still recover it, so cheer up, Felix H A .cheery "heHo" to "fit. and Mrs. Geo. Cable, Sr., from all their friends and neighbors here! George and Helen are residing in' Florida and may we say, that in a couple of months, we'll really envy you folks down there! The winter winds are really starting to blow now!!

The bower-birds of Australia and New Guinea, allied to the birds of paradise, are named from bowers or arbors built by the males. First clearing an ares for the purpose, the male builds a bower, usually with twigs. In front of the bower is his stage, where he arrange a variety of bright-colored objectsleaves, berries, and even paper and glass--to accent the limited splendor of his plumage. The female then builds her nest a few feet away, but the bower is maintained apd refurbished daily until the young are old enough to visit it. {lospitals will startle the average layman. Many of them are better equipped than human hospitals. and since the standards of the veterinary profession are so high, many dog doctors arc as well trained as human doctors. A sick dog today may get a thorough examination, including X-rays, blood test, heart test, diet test, and, in fact, almost every test a human would get.

Less than a decade ago, his life expectancy was only seven or eight years. Let's speculate for a minute on what has happened to place Old Dog Tray in such a preferred position. Specifically, great advances have been made in preventive and therapeutic medicines, in animal hospitals and personnel, and in nutrition. In no other aspect of veterinary medicine have medicaments and preventives be«n developed more rapidly thah in the field of canine practice. Surprising developments have occurred in the animal hospital field. There are about 2,500 animal hospitals today equipped to take care of ten or more animals. The latest official listing reveajs that "there are about 13,- 000 licensed veterinarians in this country.
