Here's Your Dish Among the most I'ennarkeble dog stories is one Sir Walter Seatt told a friend about a bull terrier •- the wisest dog be ever had. "Camp oncebit the baker, who was bringing bread to the family," he said, 'I beat him, and explain- ed the enormity of his offence; after which, to the last moment of bis life, lie never heard the least allusion to the, story, in whatever voice or tone it was mentioned, without getting up end retiring into the darkest cor- ner of the room, with great ap pearance of distress. °When you ,said, `the baker was well paid' or,'the faker was net hurt after ,all, .c amp, caroo., forth from his hiding - place, capered, and barked; and rejoic- ed. He 'certainly had a singular itnowledge of spoken language." An old book of dog anecdotes mentions an Edinburgh grocer's dog to whore a pieman once gave a pie. The next time the dog heard the pieman's hell he ran to him, seized him by the coat', and wouldn't let him pass, Thepieman showed him, a pen- ny, then pointed to his master who stood watching at a street door. The. dog, at Once went to begged furiously, and on re- •ceiving a penny, carried it in his mouth to She plenum ;and got his pie. This became a regular prac- tice. ,A remarkable example of can,. Me know-how occurred during a severe snowstorm when the fowls on a Scottish farm did not return at the, hour .they, usually retired to roost. Presently the house -dog entered the kitchen 'Carrying in"his'in0uth a bedrag geed hen,, laid it , on the warm bea'tb, ran ofl again, returned vyi'th assailer, and 'so continued until all were rescued. Numbed by the extreme cold,. theyhad crowded together in the stack - yard, and the dog, seeing them, had'carried them In to be revived by the fire,. It's not Oniy Scottish air that makes a dog canny. A dog with extraordinary sense belonged to :horse brought to the house by a horse brought to the rouse by a servant. As the man was on his way to the door the horse sudden- ly bolted. The dog sprang after it, got hold of the bridle, and brought the galloping horse to a standstill, In Melbourne, Derbyshire, where cocks and hens used to run about the streets, a game- cock fought furiously with a small bantam, which got the worst of it, Some people stood by, looking on. Then a dog suddenly darted out, snatched up the bantam in his mouth, and carried it into his master's house. Several onl0opkers followed ex- pecting it to be killed and eaten. But after guarding the kennel enthuse* tor seine time, the dog. trotted down the yard into the street, looked both right and left, saw the coast was clear, went back, returned with the bird in his mouth, safely deposited it In the street, then walked quiet- ly away. Then, writes Trevor Alter) in "Tit Bits", there was the canine wonder belonging to a famous Italian family, which always at- tended its master's table, took Ins plates and brought others, carried wine to him in a glass on a salver•held in its mouth, with' opt piiling it, and held the stir- rup M its teeth while he mount- ed his horse. A. pertain, lady's collie, ordered to ring the bell, did so; but if told to ring the bel] when the servant was in, the room, refus- ed, looked at the servant, and barked. If his mistress again said; "Ring the bell, dog," he laid hold of the servant's coat as if saying: "Don't you hear that I am to ring the bell tor you? Come to my lady!" When a New York newspaper seller was ill, his son took his place and, not knowing the sub- scribers, took as guide a dog which had usually accompanied his father. Trotting on ahead of the boy, the dog stopped at every door where the paper was regu- larly' left,' not missing one or snaking a mistake. A London gentleman owned a clever spaniel. One day in 1792, he entered the pit of Drury Lane , Theatre at about EE$O;p.m. having left his King Chagrles's spaniel locked in the dibing=room. At eight o'clock. the clog, immediately ran• tothe playhouse and located his master though he was near the middle of a crowded pit. A fashionable young eighteenth century lady was taking a walk in" Tunbridge Wells - when a New- foundland' -snatched• her parasol from her hand and, ran off with it. Keepipg ahead, the dog con- atantlylooked back to seethat she was following, and at length stoped at a confectioner's 'and went inside. Failing to get the dog to give the 'sunshade back, she asked the shopman to help. "It's an old trick of the dog's to get a bun," he said, 'Give him one, and he'll return your property." S h e bought him one and he at once surrendered the parasol. A French newspaper is the source of a story about a retired businessman and music -lover who got bis whole household choral singing and playing instruments, and resolved to bring his dog into it, -too. At every false note from voice or instrument down came his cane on the back of his small' spaniel, who promptly howled. In time she became so sensitive to false notes that she instantly howled without waiting for the cane. A shoeblack on the Pont Neuf in Paris had a poodle who was trained to roll hifnself in the Seine mud and dirty the well -polished shoes of anyone crossing the bridge, so that his master would get the job of cleaning them! Another clever poodle, owned by a Cheshire gentleman, always attended church, staying quietly in the pew whether his master was there•or not. One Sunday the dam of a neighbouring. lake.gaye way flooding the ,ioad, so only a few worshipbers from nearby cottages attended. But the dog was in his pew, dripping wet, having swam over a quarter of a mile to get there. Bill, a fireman's terrier, always attended his master on duty, climbing the escape ladder, leap- ing into the burning house and dashing about to find its mu - pans, harking loudly for help if he located any. A collar was presefltedsto him ps a reward for his bravery. NEW JET — A Meteor N. F. 14, Britain's new jet night -fighter, peels off from formation in this lust-reelatect photo.

To Prize -Ring It watt about'thilee o'clock one morningt'when .lee Gould's phone ,rang, Tex Rickard was on the phone and he Wanted Joe at his office -at Once. Gould got into his clothes slid rari for a cab. As'SoOn as Rickard. saw Gould • h'e shouted' to him across the room, -"Hese Joe, I'm in a spot. I need, someone to fight Angel Firpo in Havana. You've got a bory named Italian Jack Herman, Do you want to go down to Ha- vana with him to meet Firpo?" "Sure, Tex," replied Joe with- out a moment's hesitation. "We'll leave in the, morning." The contract was hastily drawn up. Herman and Gould's end of the'purse was to be $5,000, And Joe rushed out of Rickard's of- fice to find his fighter. He had forgotten that he hadnot seen his boy for several months and didn't even know whether the boxer was alive. Gould began to search fran- tically since he was working against time. Finally, after sev- eral hours, he traced Herman to a.rooming house in Hoboken. At five . in , the morning, Joe was • banging on the door. At last, a sleepy landlady poked out her head. and demanded to know what Soe wanted at this ungodly hour. "Where's • Jack Herman?" screamed Joe, "I've got to see him right away!" "Go away," replied the angry landlady.' "He's in the hospital. He's been there for weeks!" Shocked by the information, but not at,:all dismayed, Joe •Goukd;dashed for the local hos' pital and bribed his way to Ja,gk.. ,Uerman s room. The fighter tat% sound, asleep. 'Joe .shook him vigorously. titack!" he'shouted. 'Trick, wake up!" Herman woke with- a start, to see wild-eyed Joe Gould leaning over him. "What are you doing. here?"' gasped Herman. "Am I dying or something?" Don't be silly!" snapped Joe. "This is no time to die, Come on, get up, we got to go to Havana to fight Angel Firpo on Sunday. Hurry up, you sap, we got to catch a train!" • Jack Herman shook his head mount ully. "I can't go," he whispered. "I can't fight, Joe. I got a pain in the belly. The doc says I got appendicitis, maybe." "Appendicitis, he says!" yelled Gould.

Hearing that ice was good for appendici- tis, he instructed Jack to keep a good-sized peck ets his- tummy, and keep bikini' ing• a much ,es he needed for the trip, .J:talipn Jack Herman made it to Havana and finally got into the. ring _fol: his match against Angel Firpo. For all his -heroic measures, Joe took a bad beat- ing: Firpo'- knocked his boy out in the second round' but the $5,000 purse did a little to soothe the Wiry Managers s Then came the totting up of expenses. One item hit Joe Gould right between the eyes. It read: "Ice — $260." Joe yelled for Jack Herman and asked how come. "You told me," said the inno- cent Herman. "I bought all that ice to put on my belly for the appendicitis." ' "Why, you bum!" screamed Joe Gould. "For 260 clams you can buy a whole iceburg! What are wou trying to hand me?" "I don't care what you think," answered Jack, "I needed ice for my appendicitis and $260 it is. That stuff melts, you know!" Joe Gould had to give in and pay for the ice out of his own share of the purse. And it was only months later that Tex Rick- ard found out that smart ;little Joe Gould had pawned off on: him a sick fighter kidnapped from a hospital. It was much too late to do anything about it then. Grounds For Bigger Supplies of , ain!rm l Globulin The first shipmentsof rGarn- nla Globulin for paralytic polio and measles prevention ever to be produee44; cpmmeroiplly in Canada have, deft the I'Iontreal plant of Lederle Laboratories for country -wide distribution to fight polio this summer. Available shortly on doctor's prescription in all parts of Can- ada, the Gamma Globiln which IS also known as Immune Serum Globulin has been 'consigned to service centres in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Saint John N.B. and Montreal. From these cities it will be delivered on order ,t to .stospitals and drug slsol' s we47 before the onset of the polio epidemic season. The Canadian -produced fight - ter against polio and measles —and, hepatitis as well—comes rorti he new Montreal Plant f Lerke Laboratories. 13nti now the only Gamma Globulin available in Canada has been produced for the Fed - ere) goVarnment. Saplies thus s sde available are : distributed los provindial Depalgments of Health in polio epidemic areas on the basis of relative urgency of need. , The, Lederle ,product is made ' from ' S1ood ' obtained through arangements with, hospitals in all parts of Canada. Since no donated blood from the Red Cross or other agencies is used by Lederle, the Red Cross do- nation program is in no way affected • except to be supple- mented by this development, Gamma Globulin is by no means a new discovery. Used for many years against measles, it became well known as a pro- tective agent against polio as the result of trials conducted in the United States in 1952. Not to be confused with. the polio vaccine now under -going tests, Gamma Globulin is still medical . science's best known. weapon against polio — even though it offers only temporary immunity ,against , the dread disease. Its effective period is suallyconsidered to be five ffeks.'per injection. !Divorce The clerk of the Yuma, Ari- zona, Sgperigr,Court received a request` from a Los Angeles roan for a certified copy of a mar- - riage Bean's" Hailed in 1939 to himself and "a lady whose name I have ".forgotten; - . Judges of the Paris Divorce Court got. as new one- to .figure. out when' a woman • slued her husband for damages because she had had six children. In Knoxville, Tennessee, Mrs. Elmore Fryers, suing.#or divorce, asked for her husband's motor - •cycle, as alimony. "While • he never' actually struck me," explained Sarah Sanders, suing Edward Sanders for ,divorce, "he. would go around slamming his fist against doors and saying, 'I wish it was you." William ° Wilson divorced his wife because she took his false teeth and held them for $2 ran- som. Testifying that her husband had knocked her out by hitting her on the head with a live chicken and then, finding that the impact had killed the chick- en, revived her and ordered her to cook it, Mrs. Viola Beck sued for divorce. Ada Leonard, strip - tease dancer, filed . suit for divorce' because :her husband, her at- torney't explained, "doesn't re- sent the fact that site is doing this kind of work. Is that clear?" San'iuef Hoffenstein, scenarist and poet of ."Hollywood, was divorced by his wife, who 05- ,:.,jected to the,.jingles he dedicat- , 'ed ` to her. We append an example: When .you're ' away, I'm restless, lonely, 'Wretched, 'bared, dejected; But here's the rub, : my darling dear, I • feel The seine when you are here Gentle? Hint "I had a strange case before me today," remarked Judge Sem- ler, at the dinner table. -Before you tell me about it," barked Mrs. Semler, "suppose you place your napkin across your knees. Land sakes alive, how many times must I telt you not to stuff your napkin in your collar?" Judge Semler removed t h e napkin from his throat. "Now go on with the story," ordered Mrs. Semler. "It was most unusual" said the judge. 'A strong, ablebodied man of . I should say . . forty years, charged with striking his aged mother. And yet he didn't seem a cruel type. The doctors at the hospital said he was most tender . .. he whim- , pered and all that. I said to the man, 'I'm ashamed of you, a big, hulking brute hitting your clear old mother. Have you anything to say before I pass sentence?' "The man looked up at me," continued Judge Semler, 'and I noted his woebegone expression. He spoke quite softly, too. 'I have only this to say, your honour. For, the past thirty-five years . , . Over since my father died it has been my duty to go down into the cellar every morning and make the fire for Morn. A n d every, one of those mornings, for thirty-five years, my mother would come behind me and show me how t h e paper should be placed and how to lay the wood .. • and where to apply the match . and how soon the coal should be shoveled in. Every morning for thirty-five years. I stood it as long as I could ... and then I lost my head, I struck her.' "'Sentence suspended; I said to the man," continued Judge Semler, as he sipped his tea. I can well understand the provoca- tive circumstances," The judge's hand, absent-mind- edly, went to the napkin on his knee. He raised it to his collar and tucked it in. Mrs. Semler sniffed and said nothing. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 11AR7t OUlptfti AUGUST -SEPTEMBER breilere should tie ordered now.

Blind Golfers Shoot For Seagram Trophies lincamly putting that enabled some contestants to average less than two green strokes per hole featured the final round of inter- club competitions in which seven blind golfers were chosen to rep- resent Canada in the International Blind Golfers Team Champion- ships at Lambton, July 21- 23. Members of the Canadian team are: Phil Lederhouse, Prince Al- bert, Sask.; Nick Genovese, Dun- das; Charles Tooth' and .Harold Mitchell, both of Harniltob; John MacPherson, Regina; Roy Mee- han, Burlington, Ont„ and CIaude Pattamore, Hamilton. The International Blind Golf Championships are being spon- sored by the Royal 'Canadian Golf Association and the House : of Seagram. In tournament play,, the Canadian and American team players will be competing for three Seagram trophies — one for the team championship, a team championship, a second for the international individual blind golf championship. Theor- etically, the Canadians could take all three trophies but still compe- tition is promised by the Ameri- can entries, some of whom have the advantage of year-round prac- tice, In recent inter -club competi- tions, several of the Canadians have been showing excellent form. The putting game of Nick Geno- vese and Charlie Tooth would have done credit to sighted and seasoned golfers. For 18 holes at Niagara - on - the -Lake, Geno- vese needed only 33 putting strokes and Tooth 35, both put- ting below the average of two strokes per hole on the day. Phil Lederhouse had the lowest ag- gregate score in four qualifying rounds. The Prince Albert player, who operates a canteen and a checking concession, shot 197 for his last.
