The time when people used to argue about whether or not dogs are really capable of 'thinking' has long since passed." . According to one paragraph Of the official report: . "On 'D' day, Andy, a Doberman pinscher, led 'M' company all the way to the roadblock. He alerted scattered sniper opposition and undoubtedly was the means of preventing loss of life." On the night of the seventh day, the report continued, another Doberman, named Rex, alerted Japs in j the vicinity and at daybreak of the eighth day, the Japs staged an at- ! tack that failed as a surprise be- | cause of Rex's warning. j There were numerous stories of j dogs leading the marines through j jungles and warning them of impending traps; together with ac- j counts of dogs like Jack, a German j ' . shepherd, who was wounded in the I back but carried a message from j his company to the command post. ! The telephone lines had been shot out, and the job of bringing up help . depended solely on the dog. < Good in Fighting. "No merttion was made in the Official report of dogs being used fori hand-to-hand attack against Jap soldiers, although it is well known I among recognized dog trainers that I both the German shepherd and the j Doberman pinscher frequently are I /trained for attack work in civilian j police duty.

Bulls and Horses Get Good News; Women's Bad WASHINGTON. -- Government agencies have made three major rulings in recent days on the subject of wearing apparel. They were: 1. Bulls may lay in a new supply of copper nose rings. 2. Women, however, must do without synthetic rubber girdles for quite a while yet. 3. Horr.es, on the other hand, may outfit themselves with new leather collars. No discrimination &g.-,inst women was intended, the agencies insist, there being enough copper for bulls' nose rings and enough leather for horse collars, but not as much synthetic rubber as had been estimated. By KATHLEEN NORRIS / THE Browns have one daughter, Diana, aged 19. Their two sons are in the navy. , They've always been normal, reasonable people; they don't know what to do now that real trouble has struck them, j The trouble is Diana -- and Lieut. Kronschmidt Baker. "Kron" is 42. He called on* Diana after meeting her at a dance; he has called every night for three months. Diana is mad- ! ly in love; the man says he is deeply devoted to her--but he j has a wife and three children, j When Diana's mother, discovered ; that he was married she almost 1 died of shame, of pity for poor little J Diana. Gently, tactfully, she told her j daughter the dreadful truth. Diana answered composedly that she had I known for weeks that Kron was j married, and had palled on his wife asking her to grant him a divorce. And from that moment things went from bad to worse. Diana's father, anxious, overworked, tired, ordered her from the house.-Diapa'g mother, fearing she would £6 to Kron, went with her. After two days at a hotel they went Back home: Diana furious, silent, stubborn. Misery reigns in the Brown household. Diana slips out every day and meets Kron. When he goes to New Mexico on duty she is going with him, she persists, married_ or not Love like theirs, says Diana, is too rare and too precious to bfe thrown away on conventions. Case Requires j^tje^e. AH I could aavise Diana's Siother was to go on treating the case with patience and love. I told her that girls to whom love comes as a fever of infatuation could not hear reason; the wild flames burning in Diana's heart won't be put out with yfordSj §he's togo$ logk up in her f&oiTk; Too Dig to spank. " So I told her mother to be understanding, be sympathetic, try to oycrrorng by t^ecti6ff~wnM could hot changed by forge. TKat was §ome weeks agoa I think that rRRv T might give Diana's mother a mpre effective idea. Another mother from an opposite end of the country wrote me what she did in a similar case, and not sure but what she was right.' It seems, that this other girl, hamed Betty, was also infatuated with a middle-aged married charmer, and also stubbornly determined to wreck life for his sake. Betty's mother, like Diana's, reasoned with the girl, sent for the man and talked to him severely, and finally went to see the wife. The girl in both cases Was adamant, the charming man airly Unconcerned and rather proud of himself, and the wife helplessT^So Betty's mother allowed her to ask her Stanislaus to the h<mse, Betty's^ father grabbed him Toy the collar and thrashed him thoroughly, and the policeman on the beat, having been warned 'in advance to be on the spot, saw a discomfitted suitor rush down the front steps and took both father and lover to the police station. The next morning one masher was marked for life as an unfaithful husband who had beert tbrashed by a girl's indignant father. Stan's wife then threatened divorce, she didn't like the newspaper notoriety, and Betty left at once for war work in another city. But recently Be*ty, now happily en- HEARTBREAK AHEAD 44Our love is too precious for conventions," says 19-year-old Diana Brown. She means her infatuation for a man of 42, who is married and father of three children. She threatens to go with him to New Mexico, where he will soon be stationed, as he is an army officer. She slips out and sees her "Kron" every day, and has asked his wife to give him a divorce. What is Diana's tnother to do? Angry remonstrances will just force the stubborn Diana to more secret liaisons. If she becomes convinced that her parents are old-fashioned and unreasonable, clinging to outworn "conventions" she will leave home, follow her charming. middle-aged lieutenant. Then it will be too late for Diana's mother to do anything for her daughter but to try to shield her from the consequences of her folly when Kron gets tired of her and abandons herx There is heartbreak ahead for Diana. ... Miss Norris admits the difficulty of this situation. Tact and patience are about the only means the Brou ns have at their disposal. Sometimes drastic and dramatic measures bring results, however, as this article describes. gaged, has been home for a visit, and Stan wasn't divorced, so perhaps these drastic measures were justified. Lesser Disgrace Preferred. . "But you disgrace"yBuf girl!" 6 mother might say, shrinking away from the mere idea of such en exsure. Well, she is heading for disratffc anyway, perhaps this way is the lesser evil. In Diana's case I am informed that the man and the girl are admitted lovers, have lived together. 1ft ISetty's case the affair had nfft gone sg jar^ These are hard days on everyone, Spfe£hjq)s nowhere harder than upon the girls who go out to work at men's work, among men; any girl may manage her affairs to evade the to the. scurrility of & middle-aged man who wins the love and destroys the hohor of a girl of 18 is sometimes a good thing. If slfe doesn't get that awakening in the sensational form planned by Betty's angry parents, she certainly will get it later, and much more painfully, when she realizes that the man for whom she cried and fought and threw away everything valuable in her life, is just^a weakling, vain, untrustworthyj/^elfish to thfeore.' When a bdy puts his hand into the\cash^register or forges' someone'sSwrme on a check, he is brought up with a round turn in the juvenile court and all his life long his record is against him. Unfaithful husbands may well be forgiven occasional lapses, but when a man who is responsible for the welfare of a woman and children pushes their claims aside destroys the purity of a passionate, child of 18, promising that he will get a divorce and marry her. that ought to be actionable, and he ought to be thoroughly beaten. Napoleon Stays Away, So 140-Year Job Lapse* RYE, ENGLAND.--The job o| watching for Napoleon to cross the Dover strait to invade England has lapsed. The late Chummy Barton was paid $20 a year to stand on the cliffs and watch the sea for signs that Napoleon was coming. The job had been handed down Irom man to man for about 14Q years. When Chummy died, municipal authorities decided that his job was now dispensable. Inexpensive Insecticides Calcium arsenate and arsenate of lead are inexpensive insecticides effective as stomach poisons against chewing insects only.

' None of the lumber yards here know anything about fire clay. What can I use to repair the back wall of the fireplace? Answer: Mason material dealers and plumbing and heating supply houses handle refractory cement and fire clay. Refractory cement is generally used and preferred as a mortar between fire brick.

Soak the spaces with plenty of clear water and pack "the joints with a fairly stiff mixture of one part portland cement, one part hydra ted lime and five parts of clean, coarse sand.
