| WILT tla bi pound has ordered. ‘arrive, Not that

by be out chasing dogs again in the near future, I'm”

Just thinking of the drivers like Ed E Wilkinson with

whom I scoured the clty. When I ‘piled into the ancient vehicle, Mr, Wilkinson sald the first stop was on W, 15th st. ' These * days, with one out of three trucks in good mechanical

| shape, there is little actual dog chasing. Most of the

work is answering calls to pick up sick, old or injured | dogs. The one-way radio in the truck was blasting away with police calls. Ed (he didn't like t6 be called Mr.

, Wilkinson) told me the new trucks were to be | equipped with two-way radios). We hit ‘a stretch of | washboard road. I thought the truck was going to

| fall apart. Come on-—new trucks.

Ed pulled up to the address on W. 15th. A man

| met us on the front porch. He hated to call the \ pound, he said, but there was nothing else to do with

a 18-year-old. dog that had just gone blind but have

. 1t put to sleep. "

Dog - Whimpers

| dogs to the pound, but really that's

THE DOG whimpered as Ed picked him up gently and carried him outside. The owner stood at the front door and watched us uhtil we pulled away. Answering ‘calls on .the East side (the unpaved section) calls for a lot of rough riding. The truck did everything a jeep would do on the same terrain, Dog lovers may bristle at people who send their the best thing

, to do when you find a dog can't be given the care

and attention it should have. It's a lot better than

‘having the dog roam the streets.

At one address no one was at home. At another we picked up a little female with the shakes. A

, wooly pup not more than a month old was waiting for

us on N. Arsenal ave, The woman had kept it for two days after she found it in her yard, cold and hungry. She said she asked everyone in the neighborhood about it, but no one seemed to know the owner. She couldn't keep it and none of her acquaintapces or friends wanted it. Maybe at the dog pound the pup could be sold. On the way to the truck, Ed looked the pup over carefully and said it had a pretty good chance of

, getting a-home,

In case you're Interested in a man’s best friend, all you have to do is call at the pound, pick out the crittter you want and shell out $4. The four bucks is broken down in this way. Two dollars for license fee, and two dollars for vaccination.

One woman told us as soon as she opened the door

that the female dog she had was eating her out of house and home. When she got “Queenie” as a pup, the lady "said she had no idea that the dog would grow up to be such a big girl with such a big appetite. I know what you mean, lady. When Ed picked

Dodging Taxes

Kissing Champ

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 30.—We hate to mention this, but Hollywood's kissing champion of the year 1046 was not Lana Turner or Hedy Lamarr or even Linda Darnell, who is playing Amber and has more lovers than Darryl Zanuck has polo mallets, } The champ is ‘Bess, the M-G-M horse star. - (And Bess is really a he-horse masquerading as a lady. Nothing is as it looks in Hollywood.) During five. months of personal appearances, Bess kissed six newspaper women in one office, 1000 youngsters in the 50 orphanages “she” visited, six mayors, 20 city councilmen, a couple of dozen chorus girls and Wallace Beery. Naturally, we rushed out to interview the “lady” and let “her” kiss us. All “she” had to say was: “I never could say neigh.” And after kissing Bess all we could say was: “Ug h. ” Hollywood's kissing champion, we're sorry to report, has a very bad case of halitosis, probably caused by eating fillet mignons and drinking champagne instead of getting hay and water, as ordinary horses do.

Another Carey

THERE'S another member of the Carey clan Careying on in the movies—red-haired Harry Carey Jr. We figured he would be a chip off the old block, but old Harry roared: “You mean ‘slice off the old ham'."” Junior got out of the navy a couple of months ago and made his film debut with Teresa Wright in “Pursued.” Now both Careys will be seen in the super-western, “Red River,”

We, the Women

“EVER since all the kids have been in school I've kept the radio turned on all'day, I hardly ever listened to a program, but at least it’s a noise in the house.” That is the actual comment of a housewife in her early 40's. If a little quiet is so hard to bear now, if every hour. her children are away from home is a dull void-— f'hat is to become of a woman like that as she becomes older-and less and less active?

_ Wife Should Check Up

EVERY SO often during the busy, hectic years when a home, a husband, and small children seem to fill a woman's life completely, she ought to check {1p on herself and find out if she is depending entire ly'on them for all of Her interests. If so, there js danger that—like the woman who

In Role of Romeo

“IF THE movies keep me around hall as long as|

they have Dad,” 25-year-old Junior said, “I'll think I'm doing all right.” Old Harry has always played those hard-hitting, two-fisted, he-man roles, and everyone thinks of him as a pretty hard-shelled hombre. But Junior let a skeleton out of the family closet: “You should hear him in the role of Romeo. I've caught him reading it to Mom.” Bob Cummings and Steve Cochran. .glmost traded blows in a Hollywood night-club.. Bob is burning over the reviews of “The Chase,” in which Steve gets most of the praise. Bob Hope muffed his lines four times for a scene in “The Road to Rio.” Bing Crosby was right there with: “I should never have broken up with Barry Fitzgerald.” Ruth Etting’s guest "appearance on the Rudy Vallee show means she hopes to make a show-busi-ness comeback.

Even in the busiest, most-time and effort- demanding years of her life, a housewife ought to be stern with herself in seeing that she has a little time each day to spend on some interest. or interests entirely her own, It isn't easy to do that during the busy, bustling years.

Frightening Alternative

BUT IT is absolutely necessary for women. If you ever bog down into a rut where you have no life outside your family and find yourself making such excuses as, “After the children are older I'll do this or that,” just remember the woman who keeps a radio blaring forth hour after hour just to have a noise in the house.

Moving the model man through rooms and halls gives you an idea of how you'll fit into your house. Why a solar house? “Our biggest |

tapped, is the sun,” he said. “Even when it is cloudy, heat rays come through from the sun. By using the sun’s energy we can save as much as 20 per cent of the cost of heating. “Large glass areas lose heat fast.

Even the stove was movable. Now even in the average home the stove is a furnace and built in. ‘Builders are doing more and more of that in kitchens now.

Former Convict Refuses to Talk

An ex-convict said by police to be the “trigger man” in the slaying of two Hammond policemen Jan. 11 was returned to Hammond today to face questioning and possible indictment for first degree murder.

Parking Garage Program Pushed

The first of four city parking ga-

500,000 each may be ready for use this year. Mayor Tyndall yesterday appointed six Indianapolis businessmen to a committee to speed Ye construction. Members are Theodore B. Grifith, president; L. 8S. Ayres & Co.; Samuel B. Walker, controller, - William H. Block Co.; William A. Atkins, vice president, E. C. Atkins Co., and president, Meridian Garage Co; Russell L. White, president, Indiana National bank; C. E. Whitehill, president, Banner-Whitehill, Inc, and Otto N. Frenzel, president, Mar-| chants National bank. The committee was asked by the| mayor to help select the location of the parking facilities and assist in deciding how the structures shall | be financed. Contemplated Sy Noble P. Hollister, city plan director, and Thomas R. Jacobi, city engineer, the garages would have no sides, would be four-story, ramp-type structures, would be built on the “fringe” of a 16 square block congested area bounded by Delaware, Maryland and New York sts. and Capitol ave. Acuteness of the need for additional parking facilities prompted city officials to urge’ immediate construction, although they admit ted costs might be lower at a later date. Whether the garages shall he self-serve or attended has not been decided yet, Mayor Tyndall added.
