And Also
They're Easy
To Pack, Mail
Books for Christmas giving are
perennial favorites. For one thing,
they're easy to wrap, a cinch to
mail and there's always a flyleaf
for inscribing a message that will
make the gift a warm and personal
one. Besides, books and suitable
for anyone who can read or hopes
to learn; the shopper is sure to
find a volume that will please
even a person who "has every
thing." And the publishers this
year have turned out a fine shelf
1 ul ' from which to choose. ,
The ' classics, especially the
beautifully-bound, illustrated and
boxed copies, are old standbys that
always feel at home under the
evergreen. Any of Jfc"m, from
the children's books iifce Heidi
and Robinson Crusoe that Grand
mother loved as a child to the
Bible and Shakespeare that gen
erations htvt rn?d for centuries
are ideal for ok-lovers.
Many New Titles
Then there are dozens of hot-off-the-press
titles that, chances
are, the recipient hasn't read.
Among these the recent ones of
religious interest are the novels
such as "Mary" by Sholem Asch
and Lloyd C. -ttouplis' "The Big
Fisherman," which Is not as new.
Fulton Oursler's "Trie Greatest
Story Ever Told" has been out for
a while, too, but is sun ponuiar.
Lead Kindly Light" by Vincent
Sheean, "Peace of Soul" by Fulton
J. Sheen, "The Man from 'Naza
reth" by Harry Emerson Fosdick.
"Waters of Siloe" by Thomas
Merton are books appropriate for
the season. "The Mature Mind"
by H. A. Overstreet is a non-fic
tion title in the best-selling lists.
And some outstanding books 01
contemporary affairs that deserve
a nlare in everv home library are
"Churchill's "Their Finest Hour."
Eisenhower s wrusaae in turope.
Eleanor Roosevelt's "This I Re
member."

Expectant Mothers
Warned Against ?
Abnormal Dieting
LONDON, (INS) 4- Expectant
mothers who seek an easy; birth by
dieting to reduce baby' weight
are warned that they may cause
their son or daughter to be below
average in height and, weight.
Experiments by British doctors
show that small babies do not catch
up on lost weight during childhood
and may even stay well below the
big baby in weight and height.
To discover whether this differ
ence remains during teen age and
adult life, British doctors are now
analyzing the "body-build" of chil
dren used in the earlier experi
ments. '
Statistics of the experiments
show a difference of 11.2 lbs. at the
age of seven years between the
mean weight of children who
weighed 5 lbs. 8 ozs. or less for
girls.
There was a corresponding dif
ference of 11 lbs. at the age of 9
years and 12.8 lbs. at the age of 11
years.
New Breed of Dog Surpasses
Bloodhounds at Trailing Cons
AP Newsfeature Writer
TUCSON, Ariz. A new breed of '
dog is going to make it tougher
for fugitive criminals in the south
west. It's a cross between a blooH
hound and a foxhound. The type
was developed by Dan Moore, who
spent 11 years training blood
hounds at the Arizona state prison.
Moore says the cross brings out
the best tracking abilities of the
two breeds.
The southwest offers a particul
arly difficult problem in tracking
because of its hot, dry climate,
Moore explains. Bloodhounds trail
best when there is a little moisture
on the ground. Foxhounds have
greater ability at tracking, but
travel so fast that is is almost im
possible to keep up with them.
Keen Sense of Smell
The crossbreed, Moore says, has
a keen sense of smell and can track
at about 10 miles an hour.
After retiring from prison work
last year, Moore began raising the
tracking dogs on Redington Moun
tain, about 35 miles from Tucsori.
Training of a pup begins at the
age of two and one-half months.
Schooling by example is the
method followed with the pup put
on a trail with an older dog. Af
ter a week a pup willbegin pick
ing up a trail unaided. In a few
more weeks it can be put out
alone.
"You have to have patience,"
Moore said, "because a pup often
will leave the tracks to run after
wild animals."
His procedure then isto scold
the dog and twist its ears until it
learns not to forget the business
at hand.
When Moore was at the prison,
he used trusties to make practice
trails. Now the task falls to Mrs.
Moore. She walks across the desert
each morning until the hounds
catch up with her.
. Moore illustrates the sharpness
of the dogs' sense of smell by two
experiences.
On one occasion a criminal fled
T i M
New breed of dog, a cross between
a bloodhound and foxhound,
proves adept at tracking down
criminals in. the southwest.
through a cotton field where 30
to 40 men were working.. Thefi
tracks of all were intermingled
but the hounds kept on the pris
oner's scent. On another occasion,
Moore purposedly had two trails
cross. The men who made them
changed shoes. The dogs continued
to follow the right man.
Moore said he doesn't know how
far a hound can track. They have
gone as far as 50 miles but he be
lieves they would continue almost
indefinitely if something, like, a
heavy rain storm, did not destroy
the tracks.
Moore hopes to supply packs of
dogs to sheriffs offices through
out the west. He gets as much as
$500 for a well-trained three-year-old.
