Presently the tales about Buddy drifted to the local newspaper of fice. Now, newspapermen are per haps the most hardboiled set of workers on earth. They are not gullible. They can smell a "fake'’ a mile off. Their experience has taught them more about every side of life than is granted to most folk. So the El Paso newspaper men grinned, unbelievingly. Still, the accounts of Buddy’s genius , continued to assail their ears. At 1 last, the city editor of the El Paso Herald-Post decided to nail the lie, once and for all and find out if there was even a tiny percen tage of truth in the stories. He sent a reporter and a news cameraman to Buddy’s home. The reporter was shrewd, and not to be fooled easily. He was a vet eran, and had as keen a nose for fakes as he had for news. Also, the cameraman was an expert in his line. He was ready and able to detect any flaw in Buddy’s performance and to regis ter it on the film. A story may exaggerate facts. But an “un touched” news photo will tell the truth. Buddy was in for a search ing test as to his ability, i Buddy, by the way, was a three and-a-half-year-old thoroughbred : police dog. He belonged to Her 1 man Album, who ran a billiard and-pool parlor in a business dis trict of El Paso. The dog had grown up in Al bums resort, and he had used not only his eyes, but his amazinjriy original brain. Gravely, Buddy had watched all that went on around more than a puppy, he had begun j the place.

Gas In the company's distribut ing lines is to be odorlzcd to make the detection of leaking heaters, pipes and hose connections an easy matter. Nearly 15 gallons of Caiodorant. a volitile oil product, will be va porized into the gas daily. The odorant gr.es the gas a penctral to try to imitate the things he saw done there. Album understood dogs. He had won Buddy’s confidence and affec tion. Now, when he noticed what the youngster was trying to do, he did not laugh at him. Instead, Album set to work helping the police dog learn the various things the latter was attempting. The average highstrung dog hates to be laughed at. A hint of ridicule from his master probably would have filled Buddy with a sense of shame, and he would have given up his efforts at imitating the billiard players. For the same reason, Album’s encouragement and aid gave him new confidence and made him proud of his lessons. This is natural with the best type of dog. From the studying of life in the pollroom. Buddy began to notice more keenly what went on in the street outside. For instance: One day same small boys started a bonfire in the gutter. The wind was blowing strongly toward a gas oline tank and toward some in flammable stuff piled on a truck. Prom the poolroom doorway. Buddy saw a policeman rush at the boys and drive them away, and then stamp out and scatter the burning wood and paper that made up the bonfire. There was much excitement. Presumably that meant a fire was a bad and dangerous thing. Buddy watched and Buddy re membered. In another few days some more boys started a blaze in the gutter. Buddy went into action. Stories of Buddy, as I have said, ran through the neighborhood and at last reached the newspaper of fices. When the reporter and the cam eraman for the El Paso Herald Post dropped in at Herman Album's place of business, they saw several men playing billiards at one table." Men were deep in a game of Kelly pool at another table. Buddy lay comfortably in a sunlit corner, his wise eyes following one after another of the two games. He seemed to understand just what the players were doing and why they were doing it. The reporter went up to Album and explained his mission there. He watched Buddy’s master closely as he did so. It would have been easy enough for Album to tell a bimch of braggart lies about his canine chum’s cleverness. But the camera was there to prove or dis prove his words. Album showed no sign of con fusion at all. Indeed he seemed mildly pleased that these strangers wanted to see his splendid dog per form. He snapped his fingers at Buddy. Instantly, the police dog on his feet and alert. As Album moved toward an unused pool table, Buddy’s tail wagged in glad ex pectancy. Then the performance began. The reporter scribbled notes. The cameraman took one photograph after another. I have several of these photographs on my desk as 1 write this. They are not faked. Neither were any of the various news accounts of what 'followed. There was no need to fake. The truth, this time, was more interest ing. Here is what happened: At Album’s signal, Buddy trotted to a cue-rack. Standing on his hind-legs, he chose a cue. Seizing it by its butt, he lifted it from the rack, down to the floor. He carried it, then, across to the cus tomer who preferred that particu lar cue. He- did the same thing for other customers: never once mistaking , the precise cue which each of them usually played with when they visited Album's place. He took balls from their racks, too, and put them on their tables. But that was only the beginning. Next. Buddy ran across to an other group of men, and collected their fees, going to each man in turn. As the quarter-dollars and dimes were dropped on the green ing but harmless odor and does not effect the heating vnlue of the fuel, according to officials of the company. — — -A-*-- — ———_ At;ed Man Completed Huge Wood Chopping Job Shelburne, Mi». —(UP)— F.

Buddy picked them up with his tongue, and car ried them across to the cash reg ister for Album to deposit. Next, at his master's signal, Buddy put his forelegs on a pool table where a triangle of vari colored balls had been set for his use. With a snappy shove of his heavy underjaw. he knocked the “cue-ball” sharply and accurately against the “object ball,” and made various other seemingly im possible shots in the same fashion. One of the frequenters of the billiard parlor whipped out a pistol and pretended to aim it at Album. Instantly, the dog flew at him. In stead of leaping wildly at the man’s throat, the dog gripped the pistol and yanked it from its holder’s grasp, and then proceeded cleverly to trip the man up and send him sprawling. Album whispered to another man who went outside and built a small bonfire in the gutter. Buddy dashed out, at the first smell of smoke. So fast did the dog work that the cameraman had some trouble in recording what followed. Buddy rushed to the fire, scattering the paper and the wood and frantically trampling out the blaze with his fast-slapping paws. Yes, it all sounds queer, but it is all true. The best part of it is that Buddy was not a mere “trick on a wonderful intelligence, dog.” All his "stunts” were based Recipe for Getting Fish Bait Published New Bedford. Mass. — — Prank L.

In the prescribing of beer, a phy sician is naturally guided by its content. Beer made according te the new law contains 3.2 per cent alcohol. This has the caloric value of 7 grams. There is also 10 per cent of nitrogenous and carbo hydrate extractive materials, hav ing a caloric value about like thni of sugar and protein; namely, 4 per gram. Thus, a quart of beer will provide about 500 calories, or about five sixths of the amount of calories to be had in a quart of milk.

Origin of Toasted Sandwich Traced Harrisburg — (UP) — An un official fact finding commission has traced the origin of the toast ed sandwich to the "Little Red Schoolhouse.” Staff members of the Pennsyl vania Department of Public In struction hold that before the days of supervised heating and ventilating of schoolrooms, pupils often found that thtlr lunches had frozen.
