Cat Acts Like Dog; Hunter's Best Friend ' Houston, Tex. (U.R) Albert Bartay, a 58-year-old typogra pher, has a 15-pound cat that acts like a dog sometimes and like no other cat on earth the rest of the time. For instance, Toby, a four-year-old Persian and Angora combination, is a hunter's best friend. He stalks, "points" wing ed game, waits while his master shoots and then retrieves. "And he doesn't disturb a feather," Bartay said. Toby has been hunting with his master for three years. "Just show him a gun and he livens up," his master said. Passing birds gets a low growl from Toby, but nothing else seema to matter. ' Bartay said Toby doesn't fight or play with other cats. "But he sure likes tee cream," the owner added. "I split a pint with him every night, any fla vor, Toby's not particular." . CI PAJAMAS STUDIED New York (U.R) The Air Force, which recently hired wit nesses to eliminate KP duty, to day was studying the possibility of issuing pajamas to recruits to "speed up . . . the adjustment from civilian life."

Some of the other jargon goes like this: : . Breastwork. That means "earthwork which gives protec tion for defenders in a standing position, firing over the crest." The cloud watch doesn t have much to do with clouds. It is an electrical switch "in an anti-aircraft artillery fire con trol data system used to facili tate changing from visual to radar fire control or the other way around." And a "cook-oft" has nothing to do with the kitchen. It is the function of a "chambered round in?";; . m l ifrnminnnipiin, ininaipn Dy ine heat oi the weapon." Quit Simple ' Ghost signals" are no kin to Halloween. They are, in the lan guage of our new soldiers, "re flections appearing on the radar indicator, the cause of which cannot be determined readily." Grandma would not recognize the Army's modern definition of ruffles, which is: "low, steady beating of a drum, not so loud as a roll." A "anek" fa the. Army is a 'specially constructed explosive charge used for clearing paths through mine fields for denuda tion." . The right-thlnelng soldier knows that a "strip" means to take a weapon apart and see what makes it click. I hope the Army and I have not confused you.

I have riot found it so. I have learned much, and I commend the undertaking to students of political science In fact, to all who would better understand - their country.
