Dogs Among the Fliers.

When Lieutenant and Mrs. Theodore Marburg, Jr., arrived in this country recently they brought with them a little Scottish terrier, Jockomeo, which is one of several of the breed called “aviation hounds” by the British forces along the war front in France, where they figure largely# in the aviation camps. The little canine flier has a short, low-lying body, a long nose, with rough, wiry, black hair, streaked with white, and a pair of brilliant eyes that express a wealth of intelligence. Marburg said Jockomeo and the others of his breed in the camp are trained to guard the hangars and give warning when a hostile aeroplane makes its, appearance. ~ . These dogs make flights with the aviators and hold the waste, spanners and other tools in their mouths when the aviators have occasion to make repairs or adjustments. ,
