Pets Feel Heat/Too, Owners Reminded < ats and dogs, like human beings, suffer from heat prostration, and several brought to the Ellin Prince Speyer Hospital for Animals, 350 Lafayette Street, for treatment have died during the recent heat spells. Dr. James K. Kinney, chief veterinarian, an-' nouneed yesterday. He attributed I most ot the cases to pet owners' mistaken assumption that dogs must have ! exercise every day in hot weather. One Airedale, which hud a tempera-1 lure of 100 degrees and was gasping l??r breath when brought to the hos-( pita], died, Dr. Kinney said, but he I was able to save the life of a six-yearold I orneianian which was unconscious when it arrived. Dogs should ho kept in the coolest spot In tin. house during heat spells, ' Dr. Kinney warned, and should not be forced to eat. He suggested lean beef. lamb, non-starchy vegetables, toast or milk and cereal as ideal hot weather dishes for pets, and said it did not harm a dog to skip eating foi a day. Pets should also have cool water frequently in small amounts, ?-s well as (in occasional helping of cracked ice. Knglisli hulls, Boston bulls, Peking-: ese and toy breeds are most sensi-1 1 ivr lo D. at because of the confer'" ."ion of the heads and the tiny noses, hut any ,|?g or cat may -liner prostration. Dr. Kinney said j He also pointed out that a dog run-' "in- wi 111)\ and frothing at t! p was net necessarily mad. but possibly desperate with thirst and heat.?New I ork Herald Tribune. three millions in gold found in panama river Panama.

Versatile Bermuda thus adds to Iih role of health, pleasure and yachting center, un Important function as u "stepping stone" on the projected southern transatlantic air route, the bullet In continues. At present, only th? 77-mile section between Port Washington, N. V., and Hamilton, Bermuda, is in operation and the traffic Js being shared by l*an American Airways and the British imperial Airways. | Although Bermuda is such a tiny pinprick on the map of the Atlantic | ocean, that radio directional beams are needed to guide modern flying bouts to its shores, In earlier days it was a thorn In the side of mariners, since its discovery, Juan de Bermudez, piled his ship up on its treacherous coral reefs in 1516, Bermuda bus been the scene of countless shipwrecks, extending down to last year when the Spanish liner, Cristobal Colon was lost off North Itock. Channels dredged through reefs, powerful lighthouses and other navigations'aids, however, have virtually eliminated hazards to tourists, from the United States, Canada and England visit the little mid-ocean island group annually. Visitors returning to Bermuda after an absence of several years will notice a number of changes in the colony. Although automobiles are still forbidden on its public roads, Bermuda now has a 22-mile railroad which links the capital, Hamilton, with both Somerset and St. George's. Industries are generally barred in the islands, yet Bermuda has some of the largest and finest resort hotels in the world, numerous shops and -lurrs, and a perfume factory. Of ini reusing importance is its export trade of Easter lilies and early vegetables. IVrhaps the most conspicuous recent change is the new air base on Barrel Island, in the sound near Hamilton. the capital. One end of the roekv, cedar-covered bit of land has been cleared. Two concrete slipways run up from the blue waters of the sound to an open space before a huge steel and glass hanger. One of th# ?slipways is from the north and the other from the south so that sheltered water is always available for beaching aircraft and towing them into the hanger for repair or storage. Houses, Four Negroes Seriously Hurt Columbia. July 2G.?Four negroes, three of them women, were in a Columbia hospital today with severe injuries suffered when a truck on which they were riding was sideswiped by a not her. One of the women. I'earl Taylor, bad her right leg severed and her left heel was so badly crushed it was feared she might lose that foot. Mary Corby and Hosea Wise suffered such severe injuries to their right lees that amputation was necessary. while Until Davis received a badly shattered left leg. but physicians hoped to save it. The accident occurred late Saturday niuht when the negroes, with a number of other workers were returning from work at a cannery in .Lexington < ounty. Sheriff H. Cromer Oswald, of Lexington. said he arrested Talley Summers. who he mimed as the driver of the truck. CAN CROWS COUNT TIME? There's one officer in Sumter who <ay's he has heard all his life that <rows were wise old birds. He says he is not certain how wise they are, hut lie believes that they can certainly tell time ? not necessarily by the clock, but by the time of day. "Every morning just at 5 o'clock? and they don't vary five minutes any day?a flock of (rows passes over town slowly winging' their, way from their sleeping quarters to their feeding grounds." he says. "There are about fifty in the flock uoing from east of town, where they must feed in the day time. They leisurely call to one another as tney go over, but not too loud. Just loud enough to let the others know they arc within hearing distance." In the afternoon, sometimes after Ithree o'clock, the crows may be seen I making their way eastward to their roost. They are not in a flock, howI ever, but go by two and three mosti ly, sometimes four or five together, j but mostly In pairs. The officer said 1 he had never followed them up to see where they roosted, or where they divide up at the feeding grounds.? Sumter Herald. of the traditional Bermuda "cake i fronting" white corul, have been built for the air buBe ?taff. At the other end of the colouy, in i St. George's, the returning traveler may notice lurger liners anchored within the almost land-locked harbor of the ancient capital of Bermuda. They have entered through the Town cut, a newly dredged channel, like a miniature Panama canal, between the main inland of St. George's and Paget Inland. Aci'Ohh St. George's Harbor an imposing new steel ami concrete bridge now llnkH St. David's Isle of arrowroot, with St. George's, dust around the corner from this spun is the new biological station, and alHO the Bermuda home of the noted scientist, Dr. William Beebe, who conducted many of his deep-sea researches in the Bathysphere of the southern coast of Bermuda. Bermuda will become an even more importnat air base when the southern transatlantic air line is put into operation. This next lap eastward on this route is a 2,240 mile jump to Ponta Degada, in the Azores, followed by a 900-mile hop to Lisbon, Portugal and a 980-mile final link to London. No plans for the operation of the route beyond Bermuda have been announced, perhaps because no suitable wireless base has yet been established in the Azores. Last year German planes, catapulted from a mother ship, made test flights over this route. Air bases for clipper ships in the Bermuda service are also being constructed at Baltimore, Maryland, and Charleston, South Carolina. Meanwhile ptouis are going forward for u north Atlantic line, following a H projected route via the Irish Btate.
