DOLLS TO TOUR U. S. Japan Air Lines hostesses 'Cathy Asano (left) and Uly Kaji unpack some of 97 J. ,.anese dolls in San Francisco. The amazingly lifelike dolls, which portray Ja'panese lite in miniature, will tour the United States during the coming year. They are splendidly clothed in rich silks and brocades. Kathy and Lily, a couple of dolls themselves, are wearing ''West" and "East" costumes that are worn aboard airline's planes. Is That So?

"My dog runs after cars, writes a reader. "I've tried just about everything to break him of this habit even severe pun ishments, but nothing helps." "Our dog is an excessive bark er, particularly at night when the house is still. How can I break him of this habit but yet keep him a good watch dog." writes Miss S. R. Dog Training: Makes an ob edient dog out of your pet means making a happy pet and a hap py owner. The success will depend upon the owner. He must set up a well-organized program, know what he is about, and then be decisive. To increase your success, may I give some tips which 1 1 have picked up from dog and wild animal trainers: Train your dog with leash and collar, never a harness. For dis tance work, the leash can be ex tended with a light rope. So that your dog will not be come confused, only one person should conduct the training. Then, always make it a point to give the same orders in the same words and with the same inflection. Because this is basic, let me repeat: Always give the same orders in the same words with the same inflection. Will Take Patience Never abandon an order un til it has been carried out prop erly. The dog must know that you are in command of the sit uation. This will take patience. And the more patient the owner, the quicker and more success ful the results. For best results, make your lessons short 10 minutes at one time is plenty long. Don't be haphazard: hold your lessons regularly. Preferab ly before mealtime when your pet is more alert. And make the meal the reward, y is next to useless to give a lesson directly after mealtime. Some trainers begin when a dog is six months old: others, including most professional See-ing-eye and dog-act trainers.

The important thing in train i ing is the master's positive ac- , inn nri hic , whpn a rio2 ibcatm slapping, and shouting are all a waste of time and will do the dog (and master) more harm than good. As for whip ping a dog. Josef Weber, a fam ous dog trainer, says, "A dog should never bewhipped unless he attacks a human or vicously attacks another dog. Then the whipping should be immediate and severe." Difficult To Cure Excessive barking: Admitted ly, this is difficult to cure. Per haps you can do so by holding the dog's mouth shut with one hand, grabbing his collar with the other, and shaking him thoroughly, saying, "No!" But, always allow your dog a few free barks for the doorbell or any unfamiliar sound. That way he'll tend to keep on barking should an intruder show up when you're not at home. Car chasing: -This is a serious matter and unless cured may re sult in the dog being run over. My neighbor broke his dog of this habit by tying a short chain to his dog's collar. The chain spanked the dog's legs smartly whenever he started to run. After the fifth time, or so, the self-inflicted punishment cured the dog.

' Horn Offers to Repair TV Sets He Disturbed San Leandro U.R) A ra dio ham here offered to repair free any neighbor's television set which had poor reception as a result of his sending and re ceiving signal. Roger Battinich, 30, made the offer after neighbors complained to police their 6 to 8 p.m. view ing hour was disturbed by his short-wave radio broadcasting. On TKe Side (Distribute.! by Kief feetxree Smaicjte, lee) Do you know the difference Asides between an aelurophile and an aelurophobe? If not please be informed that an aelurophile is one who is fond of cats. An aelu rophobe is a person who doesn't care for cats. The world's great est aelurophile is probably Ern- est Hemingway. In his home near Havana, Cuba, he has 50 cats and one dog. Many great men have had a fondness for felines. Among the enthusiastic aelurophiles must be included Cardinal Richelieu. He had 14 cats. Also Dr. Samuel Johnson who had a pet cat named Hodge, favorite food of which animal was oysters. Songs Now is the time for all those with a talent for composing pop ular music to start working on a Christmas song. Have you ever considered the number of Christ mas season songs that have made much coin of the realm for the composers by paying royalties over a long period? Just to name a few: "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "The Red Nosed Rein deer" and "I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus." Also it would be nice if some composer of sacred music would turn out a hymn that could be used during the Christmas season insted of "Sil ent Night." That Club It was natural that when San dy Dandy started at Rockingham recently that he would be heav ily backed by many members of the My Name Is a Poem club. The noble animal won, paying S20.80 for $2. So quite a few M. N. I. A. P. C. members won back what they recently lost on the defeat of the filly named Fluffy McDuffy. Passing By Packey O'Gattey.

In Italy two women with similar handbags are seldom seen. A fashionable Italian female wants her handbag individually styled. If she sees a woman with the same style bag it enrages her. You know, same as when two of our countrywomen wearing the same style hat confront each other. Widows Widows outnumber widowers three to one in the United States. Recent statistics reveal there are 7V4 million widows in this coun try. There are also about a 1, 250,000 divorcees. Women who live alone and like it are rare. So the majority of these widows and divorcees are seeking spous es. They constitute a great threat to bacheloretteslfi the husband hunting field. In recent years, marriages of bachelors and di vorcees have shown a marked increase. Whether these bache lors preferred divorcees, or were captured by the superior hus band hunting technique of wom en 'of experience has not been definitely ascertained. Our hors es and women experts are check ing the situation. Please Note What's the highest legal fee you ever heard of?

It was Thackeray who said, "A woman without a laugh in her is the worst bore in exist ence." And how right he was! Get It Right . Note it said that "50 years ago New Yorkers depended on horse drawn street cars and steam-engine-drawn elevated trains for transportation." That statement is far off the beam. Fifty years ago, in 1906, electrified trains were operating both in the sub way and on the elevated in Man hattan. It was possible at that time to get from Brooklyn bridge to 125th st. in Harlem on either subway or elevated in 15 min utes. You can't do better than that today.' Warsaw To Execute Murderer of Eight Warsaw (U.R) Handsome, high -living Wladyslaw Mazur kiewicz, sentenced to death for murdering at least eight per sons, had pictures taken of doz ens of women while seducing them in his garage and then blackmailed them by threaten ing to show the pictures to their husbands, police said today. They said the 48-year-old Ma zurkiewicz was implicated in as many as 50 murders, although he was condemned to death Thursday for eight. He was ac cused of murdering 30 women for their money. Prosecutors said a rich widow gave him her money and jewelry when he warned her that se curity police would raid her home. When the woman later demanded her property return ed, they said, Mazurkiewicz lured her into his garage, se duced her, then shot and buried her in the garage floor.

Victor Cornwall of Coos Bay. who brought in the first load here from the current run off the coast, was greeted with a $2.25 per hundredweight price. He said he doubted if he would go for more tuna at that price. Other commercial fishermen here seemed of the same mind. Buyers said competition with imported canned tuna had low ered the price from about $3 to $3.50. &022 With a. . . ait f- ' ' ""mh.. -f Bonanza Buy ... ,he fceels oHMl Todoy, x b,e"',nV r ' owerondsixx...-: ; uckbnnqj ., ...

Up came a billow of black smoke that looked like tlie bloom from an H-bomb running sidewise. We shouldn't be giving poten tial enemies any information, but there is no secret about the fact that the "Vulcan," so-called, is the fastest and the bestest we have for knocking over today's supersonic aircraft. Six Barrels It's a 20-millimeter job with a six - barreled rotary firing mechanism. It even works in temperatures as low as 70 de grees below zero. On this particular demonstra tion, the "cannon" poured in 60 hunks of lead in less than three seconds. It was fired at the rate of 4,000 rounds a minute and can be zipped up to do twice that many if occasion demands. The Vulcan eliminates the er ratic recoil you get when you have several guns. The idea was to get a gun that can spot an enemy jet a few hundred yards and knock it over before it dis appears behind the sun. Galling Step-Child The new weapon is a step child of the gatling gun, which revolutionized firepower in the 19th century. Richard J. Gatling applied for and got a patent on an instrument of destruction in 1862. Except for speeding things up there haven't been too many improvements since.

After all these years the new things add up to a routing cluster of aix bar rels, an external power source and an electric drive. We had a little briefing her. When Mr. Gatling added an electric motor to his gun in 1893, the new version spit out 3,000 rounds a minute. This new Vulcan can spit 'em out at an incredible speed. In a minute it can shoot more bul lets than an infantry company of 400 men can shoot in 20 seconds. I saw it and I believe what they say about the hew Vulcan. I hope it never is aimed at me. Soldering Iron Said Cause of House Fire Portland (U.B Firemen said today that a blaze which claimed the lives of four per sons, including three children, here yesterday had been traced to a soldering iron which had been left plugged in in the base ment. Victims of the fire were Mrs. Elysabeth L. Murray, 34; two of her children. Dianne, 4, and Dean, A. and Terry Sanderson, six-month-old daughter of Mrs Gloria D. Sanderson who re mained in critical condition in a local hospital. Capt. Walter Stickney and Capt.- Henry Burns of the fire marshal's office said the solder ing iron was controlled by light switch which had been found in the "on" position. NOTICE TO BUYERS OF 4-H 4 F.F.A.
