BLOODHOUNDS DFSCKIRF.D AS SENSITIVE; NOT VICIOUS

ANGOLA, La.. (UP) — Bloodhounds, says Capt. Fred C, Bad, have to be trained like children. Most people think the dog are naturnl-born man-hunters, but the fact is less than I half of them ever can be taught to follow a trail. The secret of a good bloodhound is the shape of its nose, if long and narrow, the dog’s scent nerve is unusually sensitive, explains Ball. And for their persistence on the hunt, they are not vicious, and seldom attack their prey. “The best dogs will get a man cornered, then stand off and bay him,” Ball declares. Ball is trainer and handler of dogs at the state prison farm here Con-

vict trusties, called "dog sergeants,” are detailed to help him. The dogs and their handlers are continually in demand throughout the state for trailing murderers, robbers and jailbreakers. When convicts escape from the prison farm into the surrounding Tunica hills, the dogs are indispensible. For the hunt, they are usually chained in pairs, with their handlers following on horseback, for if the ‘.rail is "hot,” the dogs set a fast pace, with their noses skimming the ground and their long ears flopping to their patter. Bloodhounds have been Ball's lifelong interest. Nothing is sweeter music, he says, than the sound of a dog as he hits a trail and races 10 to 12 miles an hour at full bay. The perfect trail is one left just after a rain, and the worst is one made just before a rain. But a real dog will not be stopped. He needs only the faintest scent of a man's footprint. “You really should be able to let the dogs smell a piece of clothes of the man being hunted, or the bed he has slept in, or even a cash register he has robbed,” Capt. Ball said. “But even that isn’t necessary for p good bloodhound. He can strike r. trail from a footprint.”

Coy Explains Pension Setup STATE NOT GIVING $30 PENSIONS TO ALL PERSONS OVER 70

INDIANAPOLIS, July 21. — The state of Indiaim definitely is not paying a pension of $30 per month to all of its citizens who are more than 70 years of age. Wayne Coy, acting administrator of tne department of public welfare, declared here today. “An erroneous impression is current that all legal citizens of the state, who are 70 years of age or older, are entitled to pensions of $30 per month. The welfare act of 1936 definitely has no such provision,”

Coy declared.

“The state an.I county departments of public welfare are not only willing, but anxious to help its aged citizens who are actually in need, and are not able to support themselves, or do not have relatives able to care for them. However, the amount of | such assistance is not fixed other than a maximum of $30 in extreme | cases for those who have no income I

case is dependent wholly upon need and with due consideration of any other possible source of revenue an applicant may have, as determined by the local departments of public

welfare,” Coy said.

Coy called attention to the provisions of the welfare law. relative to assistance, which state. ‘The amount of assistance which any person shall receive shall be determined by the county department with due regard to the resources and necessary expenditures of the individual and the conditions existing in such cases— and shall he sufficient to provide such person with a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health. In no event shall the amount of assistance, other than funeral expenses. paid under the provisions of this act to any recipient, exceed the sum of $30 for any calendar month.’ Coy further pointed out that all county welfare departments are strictly abiding by this provision of the law. In event an applicant for assistance needs only five, ten or fifteen dollars monthly in addition to other sources of income, he may have, in order to guarantee him a decent standard of living, then this is the amount of assistance which will

be awarded.
