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.

City Officials At
Pendleton Battle;
Three Quit Posts
Pendleton, Ore., Mar. 3 (U.R)
Pendleton today was without the
services of its city manager and
two council members following
an oral battle yesterday between
five councilmen and City Man
ager C. V. Signor, Councilman
V. W. McCormack and Council
man Arnold Pflugrad.
Press representatives, the city
attorney and Signor were ousted
from the star chamber battle as
the council's majority accused
McCormack of influencing Sig
nor's actions. McCormack denied
the charge and resigned, telling
reporters he would not . be a
party "to a dirty deal."
Aiked To Leave
Signor's resignation as Pen
dleton city manager was filed
yesterday after the five mem
bers asked him to leave his office
with a 30-day vacation offer to
complete the transaction.
Councilmen signing the de
mand for Signor's resignation
were John M. Kennedy, W. J.
Scharn, Jack Whiteman, Jack
Lee and H. E. (Jack) Howard.
No successor to Signor, McCor
mack or Pflugrad were named.
Signor was employed at

tions of water superintendent,

April 4, 1949, to take over as city
manager.
Counterfeit Bills
Found In Portland

Secret service agents in Portland
have warned merchants to watch
out for counterfeit S20 bills. A
second bogus federal reserve
note in recent days has been
turned up at the Federal Re
serve bank.
It was cashed at a downtown
Portland store, processed through
a Portland bank, and discovered
at the Federal Reserve bank.
Frank J. Kenney, the agent in
charge of the Portland secret
service office, said similar $20
bills had turned up on the east

ones to be found on the Pacific

Lack Of Minerals In
Water Not Blamed For
Children's Bad Teeth
Portland, Ore., Mar. 3 (U.R)
Dr. William Brown Jr., of the
University of Michigan school
of dentistry, holds that lack of so
called "minerals" in Oregon
drinking water do not cause bad
teeth in children.
Dr. Brown is here this week
at the University of Oregon dent
al school to lead a five-day post
graduate course in children's
dentistry.
He said fluorides are the only
"minerals" which have been
proved to have an effect on
dental decay. Dr. Brown hit a
sore spot for the children on
the cavity trouble. He said chil
dren can cut the number of
cavities by eating less sugar.
HELPFUL HELPMEET
Seattle (U.R) Nick A. Vukov

ful," explained Vukov. "She is
