An aged Russian American res

"We saw strange ships in the

left side of the flagstaff, the
strange soldiers on the right.
Captain Peschourov stepped up to
the representative of the United

TALES OF REAL DOGS - % AIbert p- Terhune
When people In El Paso, Texas,
began telling all Kinds of seeming
ly impossible yams about the won
derful things which Buddy could
do, strangers grinned and compli
mented the tellers on their weird
imaginations.
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. Before he was much

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

company.

felt of the table. 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

HOW UNCLE SAM DOES IT
From NF.A Editorial Service.
It is nearly two years since Gerard Swope told an in
dustrial audience of a far-reaching plan he had devised
by which industry might try to stabilize employment and
production and remove the fear of destitution from the
workers’ horizon.
When he made that speech, Mr. Swope was introduced
by Owen D. Young; and Mr. Young warned his hearers that
unless business found a way to solve the problems arising
from over-production and unemployment, it could expect
to see the federal government tackling the job.
Mr. Young’s warning was widely praised and Mr.
Swope’s plan was extensively commented on; but nothing
very definite in the way of results was obtained by either
man. And today Mr. Young’s prophecy is coming true, while
Mr. Swope’s notion that unrestrained competition blights
a highly developed society has been abundantly justified.
The parallels between Mr. Swope’s plan and the pro
gram now being devised by Secretary of Labor Frances Per
kins are striking.
Mr. Swope demanded the stabilization of production
and of employment, the co-ordination of production and
consumption on a broad basis, the establishment of a se
ries of trade associations to make such steps possible and
a widespread system of unemployment and old-age insur
ance.
Miss Perkins calls for very much the same thing, ex
cept that her plan lays more emphasis on hours of labor
and rates of pay and—so far, at least—pays little atten
tion to the insurance feature. But her plan in the main is
similar to Mr. Swope’s.
The chief differences between the two arise from the
fact that Mr. Swope’s program was to be initiated volun
tarily by industry, while Miss Perkins’ is to be forced on
industry by the government.
And to those industrialists who are objecting to Miss
Perkins’ plan, it need only be said that they let Mr. Swope’s
plan collect dust for a year and a half without making the
slightest effort to give it a trial. They were warned at the
time that something of that kind was inevitable, but the
warning went unheeded. They refused to take Mr. Swope
as a leader; now they can take Miss Perkins—and like her.
Views Vary on Use of Alcohol as Medicine
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine
There are, of course, various
points of view in relationship to
alcohol held by hygienists. It must
be understood that our hygiene of
the past was moral rather than
scientific hygiene.
In the text-books on hygiene
used in the schools in a previous
quarter century, this moral atti
tude was emphasized and resulted
in Volsteadism. Today a more
scientific view prevails, and there
is beginning to be a reaction to the
extremism of the past. Since most
people indulge in what is called
pendulum thinking, there is danger
of swinging now to the opposite
extreme.
In their book, entitled ‘ How to
Live," Fisher and Fiske assem
bled data from the statistics of life
insurance companies which reveal
the difficulty of gaining any defi
nite conclusions on the inadequate
information available. They argue
that alcohol is not a real brain
stimulant, but that it overcomes
higher brain elements, releasing
the activities of the lower ones and
resulting in lack of judgment and
common sense, as shown by those
under the influence of alcohol.
Evidence shows that under mod
erate doses, muscular efficiency is
first increased and then lowered.
It is practically impossible, how
ever, to separate their scientific
opinions from the views as to
the effects of alcoholic liquors from
a social and moral point of view.
By contrast, Dr. H. Beckman, in
his book on “Treatment in General
Charm and Dignity!

battle, in which Owo officers were

others Internal.
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. II
therefore a quart of beej daily is
added to the regular diet of a
sedentary person, it is likely to
make him fat.
If the quart of beer replaces
some essential elements in the diet
such as milk, it is likely to inter
