Is Sad-Eyed Bloodhound
These Dogs Find Hundreds
Of Little Strays Annually
Even the expression on blood
hounds’ faces is classed as being
worrisome. But whether they devel
op the worry over the possibility of
failure (happily rare) in following a
scent or from the inborn knowl
edge that their mission in life is not
the happy one of canine housepets,
we would hardly be in a position to
know.
The bloodhound is among the
most useful friends of man. While
your family pet may bring in the
morning paper, how would he do in
finding your child, lost in some
dense woods? He’d fail, no doubt, but
not through any fault of his own.
It’s just that the hound-type of dog
has been blessed with the keenest
scent of all canines, and the blood
hounds’ scent leads all others in
keenness.
When bloodhounds chased Eliza
across the ice in “Uncle Tom’s Cab
in” we didn’t have much respect for
the breed. But under the right mas
ters, the state police, bloodhounds
come into their own as peerless
National Dog Week
National Dog Week is being ob
served this year under the gen
eral chairmanship of Robert L.
(“Believe-It-or-Not”) Ripley the
week of September 16 to 22. This
year marks the 18th consecutive
observance of National Dog
Week, a movement of non-profit
character which aims to make
the dog more valuable to his own
er and more acceptable to the
non - owner. Through its seven-
point educational program Na
tional Dog Week seeks to serve
dr owner and non-dog owner
aiixe while safeguarding the wel
fare and future of all dogs.
The observance takes the form
of a tribute to the dog and is
designed to carry over into
peacetime the good will he has
won for himself by his outstand
ing performance on the war
front. It is being marked by hu
mane societies, veterinarians,
kennels, kennel clubs, obedience
clubs and similar organizations,
and there will be special educa
tional displays during the week
in schools, libraries, department
stores, pet shops, book stores,
grocery stores, feed stores, drug
stores, and hardware stores.
Colorful posters, stickers, etc.,
feature a picture of a U. S. coast-
guardsman and his war-dog
buddy.
Danger of Infantile Paralysis Infection
Always Greater in August and September
trackers of the hunted criminal, or a
lost man or child. Originally the
breed, having come upon the hunted
quarry, would tear it to pieces. This
ferocity has been bred out of the
bloodhound, however, and in its
place is a hunting skill implemented
by the knowledge of man and a
stick-to-it-iveness which brooks no
failure. Once the hunted is found,
the dog’s job is done, unless ordered
to the attack by his master.
At the Hawthorne, N. Y., state po
lice barracks, Cpl. W. W. Horton
looks after the canine family. He has
five trained hounds, recently supple
mented by a set of quintuplets he is
now training for trailing. Training
is begun when a bloodhound is 18
months old and it will take from
two to six months before a dog will
be entrusted with a mission. As a I
result of this training many a home
is free from tragedy. So long as chil
dren will wander oil without their
parents, so long will the bloodhound
be “child’s best friend.”
Pictures show Corporal Horton al
lowing the dog to take a good whiff
of a lost child’s clothing. The hound
is then taken around the spot where
the child was last seen. Once the
keen-scented animal gets started in
the right direction, he will follow the
trail to the end, which is pictured
below. Here the hound comes upon
the exhausted child asleep in the
September is the month when
infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis)
reaches its highest incidence. There
are usually about 3,000 cases re
ported throughout the country dur
ing this month. This year the total
number of cases seems to be lower
than last year, but in certain areas
there has been a startling increase.
New Jersey has reported more
than 400 Cases this year, compared
with 95 last year. Tennessee has 92,
a four-fold increase over last year.
A decided upturn has also occurred
in Alabama, Connecticut, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Georgia, Massa
chusetts, Missouri, Oklahoma and
South Carolina.
The National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis is giving its assist
ance to every community where an
outbreak of the disease is of such
proportions as to be considered se
rious. Funds are ready where local
support is inadequate to cope with
the infection. Local chapters of the
foundation may call for aid when
ever they need it.
In Birgmingham, Ala., for in
stance, which had an unusually
large number of cases this year,
physicians and the city health de-
partmeht decided to establish a spe
cial ward in one of the unused
sections of the Hillman General hos
pital. The Birmingham chapter was
called in and assisted with a good
deal of the cleanup work which
made it possible to get the ward
ready within three days. The Na
tional foundation, at the request of
the Birmingham health department,
recruited some physical therapists
and rounded up some hot-pack equip
ment.
Birmingham was one of the first
cities in the country to organize a
class of Polio Emergency volunteers.

Atomic Bombs Are Called
Cheaper to Use Than TNT
OAK RIDGE, TENN. — Atomic
bombing is cheaper and more eco
nomical than the use of TNT as an
explosive, Col. Kenneth D. Nichols,
district engineer of the Manhattan
Engineer district, said recently at a
press conference.
“Figuring the cost of the 2,000
bombers it would take to drop a
similar destructive charge, atomic
bombing is cheaper both in costs
and in nun's lives,” he said. “The
number of men that atomic bomb
ing enables to stay far behind the
lines must be considered.”
He said also that construction is
continuing at Oak Ridge.
“But what we have produced
here was done more to help end the
war than is shown in the expendi
ture of $2,000,000,000.”
Nichols said the safety record for
the Manhattan district was better
than for army engineering con
struction as a whole.

UP IN THE AIR
Did you know that lots of girls
and boys travelled by AIR this sum
mer to get to their summer camps?
Camp directors tell us that they’re
having trouble getting train accom
modations for their campers and
counselors, so they’ve chartered
planes to do the trick. Flying up
to summer camp makes News to
day, but, by the Day-After-Tomor
row, it will probably be a regular
custom. This is definitely a note
for the “Signs of the Times” de

Ship’s Paying-Off Pennant
Extends Length of Vessel
One of the oddest signals flown
by a ship is the white paying-off
pennant which is hoisted on a Brit
ish naval vessel to show that it is
homeward bound to be put out of
commission, says Collier’s.
Although this pennant is only two
inches wide, its length is equiva
lent to that of the ship, v/hich may
be hundreds of feet. Therefore,
a small balloon has to be attached
to the end of the ribbonlike
streamer to keep it in the air.
