Teach Every Dog Rudiments
of Courtesy, Elias Vail Urges
Nine-tenths of the difficulties
involving dogs would automati-
cally be eliminated if each owner
taught his dog
a few elemen-
tary rules of
canine cour-
tesy, Elias C.
Vail, managing
director of the
Gaines Re-
search Kennels,
Ridgefield,
Conn., said in a
recent talk.
Elias C. Vail Mri XTL
one of the best
known dog men in the country. In
a quarter of a century of active
dog work, he has bred, shown and
trained some of America’s fore-
most bench and field trial cham-
pions. The Research Kennels that
he heads are a unique institution
devoted to studying the facts on
dog breeding, feeding, care and
training, which will be of practi-
cal, helpful value to dog owners
and dog breeders. Although the
Kennels have been in operation
less than two years, already they
have become a veritable mecca
for visiting dog lovers from all
sections of the country.
“In handling any dog control is
the key word,” Mr. Vail said.
“One cannot be said to really own
a dog that has not been trained to
obey commands. A running, jump-
ing, yapping dog is no credit to
himself or his owner and very un-
desirable from the standpoint of
the community.
“To make your dog a real pal
and have him greatly admired by
friends and strangers alike, he
must be taught a minimum of
four things: 1. To know his name
perfectly; 2. To come to you when
called—and this must hold good
outside as well as inside; 3. To sit
down or lie down on order or sig-
nal; 4. To comply with your wishes
whenever you command ‘No!’ This
last is perhaps the most important
lesson of all. Your ‘No!’ must be
so impressive that he will im-
mediately desist from whatever
he may be doing at the moment,
whether it be eating his dinner
or smelling the pants leg of some
stranger.
<8>--
“Ten or 15 minutes once—but
preferably twice—a day will ac-
complish wonderful results. It’s
almost unbelievable what good
you can obtain from the right
routine in a single month.
“Please remember that the av-
erage dog trained to mind loves it
and will love you more truly as
master than as untrained little
rascal left to his own whims.
“Some people have the idea that
a dog taught to mind is a cowed
Your dog trained to mind will love
you the more for it.
dog. Just forget it. Everything de-
pends on the technique and com-
mon sense applied in the training
Remember the thousands of dogs
trained for military work during
World War II. You would hardly
call them cowed, yet without
training they would have been
worthless. There is your answer.
“Praise when he has earned it
goes a long way to encourage a
dog with his training work. On
the other hand, don’t allow him to
disobey without a reprimand.
Quick correction at the moment
of failure makes for effective
training. Never spank a dog. If
you have to discipline him, a
slight tap on the nose will prob-
ably do the trick.”

YOUR HEALTH
The child who cannot hear is bad-
ly handicapped. Hard-of-hearing
children are often considered back-
ward and become greatly retarded
in school when in reality they may
he highly intelligent but simply
cannot hear much of what is said
to them. Children yv\h° appear back-
ward in school should be observed
carefully to determine if hearing is
a factor in the situation.
According to Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, many injur-
ies to the ear can be prevented by
keeping foreign objects out of the
ear canal, taking good care of the
ears during colds and other dis-
eases and observing certain pre-
cautions when swimming.
“The cause of middle ear trouble j
often is diving and swimming,” Dr.!
Cox said. “Whenever the nose is i ;
under water the breath should be
continually and gently expelled
through the nose to keep the nasal
passages free of water. Protect the
ears further by wearing a rubber j
cap.
The State Health Officer declar- !
3d that no hard instrument of any j
kind should be used in cleansing
the ear canal since it may be in-
jurious. Using ordinary precautions
can do much to avoid minor ear
trouble which may later lead to
partial or complete deafness, the
Doctor added.

on your land /
jjg Twenty years ago you would have been
disappointed if drilling on your land had
produced only natural gas. "No oil... might as
well be a dry hole!” Even today, if your land is far
from a pipe line, a gas well would be a disappointment, for GAS IS WORTH NOTHING
UNLESS SOLD! That’s what it means to have a pipe line near your land; a market for
your gas—-new wealth for your own family and hundreds of other families in the area.
Last year the United Gas Corporation and its associated companies, Union Producing and
United Gas Pipe Line, had 278,000 acres of Texas land under lease or owned in fee. United
Gas is marketing gas for thousands of land-owners and royalty-owners through its 12,000
miles of main and distribution lines. This is only one of the ways the United Gas companies
are helping Vo build prosperity, creating payrolls and jobs, benefiting every resident of Texas
in one way or another.
