...York City last year 198 Consolidated Gas Co. meter-readers, repairmen and collectors on their daily rounds were bitten, nipped or chewed by dogs badly enough to need medical attention. Last week they and their 20,000 fellows were studying a pamphlet specially prepared for them by Dogman Frank F. Dole on "Dogs: How to Approach and Handle Them." Rules...

...patriots have complained repeatedly but the church's minister, Rev. J. Earle Ed wards, felt justified. For nearly a century the U. S. Navy has done the same thing, running up a pennant during shipboard church services. Minister Edwards grew vexed last week when a D. A.
