Bantam Rooster, Cocker Spaniel Take Turns Mothering Eight Pups Denton, Tex., Mar. 3 (U.R) A bantam rooster that clucks like a hen and Inky, a cocker spaniel, today took turns at moth ering eight puppies. The bantam, which didn't subscribe to the belief that a rooster can't be the mother of puppies, moved into the dog house shortly after the pups were born a couple of weeks ago. Gavt Up Idea L. E. Henderson, a North Tex as State college employee who owns the menagerie, found the bantam hovering over the pup pies and "clucking happily." "I thought he might hurt the little puppies," Henderson said, "so I tried to coax him out of the doghouse. But he clucked noisily and ruffled his feathers, so I gave up the idea." The rooster has been puppy sitting ever since ignoring the scornful crowing of other ban ties in the barnyard. He shows no sign of his breed's traditional ferocity, Henderson said, except when hens or animals venture too close to the pup?. Pups Enjoy It The puppies seem to enjoy huddling under the little roost er's "motherly" wings. "It's been rather cold lately, " one interested watcher said, "and they must enjoy the Dog Behavior Studied For Benefit Of Humans By Maine's Laboratory Bar Harbor, Me. (U.R) Old dogs may teach human beings new tricks. Dog behavior studies at Jack son memorial laboratory here have indicated that animals pair ed apparently copy each other in their attempts to reach the same goal, such as food. The experiments gave rise to a theory that it might be pos sible to speed the development of a slow child by pairing him with a quicker one for some routine task. Still to be proved, the theory opens the possibility that mimicry rather than com petition might help the slower child. SPocieCe ? M mm handy; Fill your candy dish today with Sociite Lemon Drops.

Inky, the puppies' mother, growled and barked at the in truder at first, Henderson said, especially when she wanted to nurse them.

Who originated the saying: "You can't take it with you"? A, Couldn't say, but the inspiration for tho remark probably came from the New Testament, Timothy 6-7: "For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." Q. What horse do you say will win the Grand National Steeplechase? A. 1 beg to be excused from predict ing the result of the race yon mention. Nearly three months ago a client asked me if there was any horse in the west that could beat Citation in the Santa Anita handicap. I said there was. That it was a noble animal named Noor, owned by my good friend, Charlie Howard. That answer was priuted in this column.
