Bloodhounds On The Trail! "Old Boston," leader of a pack of Oklahoma bloodhounds, hacl tracked down more than a hun- dred criminals. Now, in his old age, he found it hard to keep patient, especially with young policemen. If his handler could not keep pace while out on the trail, he would turn on him, almost testily. Once the old dog broke away on a hot scent, his hand- ' lers lost him, and he was gone all night. He limped home early The next morning, thoroughly disgusted. He had tracked his quarry all right, and had chased him till the man took refuge in a tree. All night long they stayed tlfere, and . every so often "Old Boston" looked round and growled disgustedly because no policemen came. At length, when daylight came and nobody had arrived to finish the job, "Oid Boston" got fed up and went home. The bloodhound has been bred in England since before the Norman Conquest. With his heavy shoulders, deeply fur- rowed mask and bloodshot eyes he looks fierce and formidable, but he is, in fact one of the sweetest natured dogs. He was given the name bloodhound, not because lie was out for blood, but because he was a blooded hound, an animal of highly selective breeding. It has been suggested that the bloodhound would be more suit- able for police work if he were hardier. Experiments were made to produce a cross be- tween the bloodhound and the rough -coated otterhound. When the puppies had growh suffi- ciently they were put on trial with a good deal of success, and it is hoped that a breed will be evolved with all the stamina of the otterhound, plus the won- derful scenting powers of the bloodhound. Even when unable to lead di- rectly to the criminal, the blood- hound can sometimes indicate a valuable clue. Some years ago, a hound was brought to an English country house where there had been a burglary. He ambled round the garden and suddenly picked up a scent. With tail wagging furiously, he sniffed his way to a clump of bushes and then, thoroughly pleased with himself, looked up at his handler. Under the bush was an envelope which had been through the post and which led to the identificatiOn of the burglar. In another case, a well-known bloodhound breeder helped the Scottish police investigate the murder of a small boy On the east coast of Scotland. The scent was considerably more than a day old but was undsturbed because there had been no wind to blow it away, LUCKY - Ten tons of coal caved in on William Walters, 57, but he still manages a slight smile and a thumbs -up sign. The acci- dent occurred in a coal hopper in Kingston, Ontario. Rope was tied around Walters to keep him from slipping farther down into dhe coal pile. He was rescued after two hours. SNAPPY REED HARVEST These comed recent freezing weather. lakes, making reed harvesting a worry about getting wet, as th reeds and cut them at ice level. men in Berlin, Germany, wel- It froze all the surrounding snap. The men didn't have to the could walk right up to the and because a heavy fog had kept people at home. The dogs set to work, picked up a trail and even managed to follow it along the main road with its numerous strange scents. Eventually the trail came to where the road forked. One fork led to a town, the other con- tinued towards the railway sta- tion. Without hesitation the hounds led on to the station. Police sent a description to sta- tions up and down the line and the murderer was caught. In Sussex, in 1934, two police- men investigating a burglary came upon a man on the out- skirts of the town. He drew a revolver and fired, wounding one of the officers, and then made off. Hundreds of police were call- ed out to beat the commons thick with gorse. By chance a woman who bred bloodhounds was staying in a Sussex hotel and had two hounds with her. In the middle of the night she and the dogs were taken to the scene of the burglary where a hot trail led off into the coun- tryside. All at once one of the hounds stopped and plunged to- wards some near -by trees. A man- who had been lying under the trees leapt to his feet. It has been known for a crim- inal to be scared into submis- sion by the very sight of a bloodhound. In 1936. a woman was found dead in a boarding house in the Catskill Mountains in America. It was thought at first that she had died of shock and heart failure. Further examination showed, however, that she had been beaten and throttled tO death, and suspicion fastened on an Indian half-breed who had taken to the woods. He was a desperate man, known to be armed, who had already done one shooting. The state troopers brought "Old Red" their bloodhound,, and began the hunt. As they slowly closed in Old Red seem- ed to know that the fugitive was armed for he became very cautious. At length, every hair a -quiver, he crawled through some undergrowth on his belly, the troopers creeping behind. Suddenly the great hound tore loose and shOt ahead, snarling. Immediately there came a man's terrified scream: "Take him away! He'll kill me!" The troopers broke through the thickets and rushed out into a clearing. There was the half- breed frantically trying to climb a tree to avoid the fangs of the leaping, snarling bloodhound. "I'll tell everything," howled. the man. "Only for Pete's sake take that dog away!" OCCUPATION - A four -horse chariot of snow is fashioned by German sculptor Josef SEASONAL city from Bad Relchenhal , Edelbauer in a Frankfurt park.

Do you ever wonder what life .will be like in the year 1976? You yourself will be twenty years older, but you'll see some amazing changes -if recent pre- dictions by U.S. experts prove accurate. You'll live in an - all -steel, portable and fireproof home. You'll be able to change the colour scheme of any room in your home by merely •waving the hand, say these prophets. You'll stand in front of an electronic panel and as you wave your hand the waves, cutting across the lines of force or photo -electric beams, will activate switches to hidden fluorescent light lamps which will bathe the room in a new set of colours. Sounds fine, eh? But in the home as well as elsewhere there'll be many more wonders to make life brighter and better. An automatic device will shut all the windows directly it starts to rain -if rain isn't completely controlled by then! The house- wife's dish and clothes -washing machines will have no "old- fashioned" moving parts, but will clean quickly and effi- ciently by passing • ultra -sonic waves through plates and clothes. Cooking will be by electronic heat and food will be sterilized by radiation. In restaurants, food will be brought in con- cealed conveyor tubes. When you make a 'phone call in 1975 you'll be able to see the person to whom you're speaking. An automatic brain will park a car while the driver strolls off on pleasure or business. Television screens will• give all drivers a full view of everything on both sides as well as at the front and accidents will be few- er. If you live in the suburbs, you'll travel in helicopters just as you travel by bus to -day - only much faster. Public trans- port in big cities will be by rapid transit conveyor belts un- derground. Shopping centres will have a similar system to carry people from shop to shop. They may be, wrong, of course, about this dream world of twen- ty years hence, but their pre- dietions make attractive reading as we dig ourselves out of the snowdrifts of 1958. 130 BABY CHICKS 134 CANADIAN Approved.
