Gas Meter Reader Not Bluffed by Dogs Sapulpa, Okla. (U.R) A local gas meter reader, Harry Hines, claims he has a surefire method of handling strange dogs that may show signs of getting bel ligerent.

Hines explained his "system" in three words "take after 'em." "The moment you step into a yard, dont take any chance, he says. "Take after the dog and run him until he goes under the porch or jumps the fence and clears out." Hines keeps in constant prac tice and his presence of mind never falters. He cites this in cident as an example. "I was visiting a home on the south side of the city and the porch had ice on it. I slipped and fell through a plate glass win dow right into the living room. "A big black bulldog lying by the fire snarled and started for me. I hollored 'boo' . and started for him. That got his goat, and, after about four times around the room, he took out through a door into the dining room and I heard the sound of breaking glass. That, dog had gone through the dining room window. . "He came back, the folks told me later, in about' a week, look ing as gaunt as a distance run ner." - College Garden Druggist's Delight .
