POLICE DOGS WILL LEAD
BLIND THROUGH DANGERS
OF CAPITOL'S TRAFFIC
Beginning November 29, and con-
tinuing for three weeks, six female
German police dogs will be seen
leading six blind masters about the
street of Harrisburg, obeying the
commands of the masters to lead
them through the dangers of con-
gested traffic. refusing to obey
where the danger according to the
dogs’ judgment is too great. This
procedure sponsored by the State
Council for the Blind, an adminis-
trative board within the State Wel-
fare Department will mark the third
time that such an experiment has
been tried in his country.
The cost of the training of the dog
to the master during he three
week's course is $250 which includes
he cost of the dog. The first six
applications to be received by the
State Council for the Blind will be
the persons chosen who will receive
the training and a dog. Arrange-
ments have been made at two hotels
in Harrisburg for accommodations
of the blind persons taking the
course and their dogs which wil >
permitted to occupy rooms
their masters.
While the training of dogs to lead
the blind is comparatively new in
this country, it has been in opera-
tion for some time in Germany
where the experiment was first tried.
It grew from the practice of
training dogs to lead men blinded in
the war to and from their daily
work. It developed by rapid strides
until the dogs now are trained in
large numbers in a number of cities.
The dogs are taught to obey com-
mands of ‘left; ‘right’ and similar
orders when guidance by the master
is safe. However, where imminent
danger threatens, the dogs are
taught not to obey the commands of
the sightless master. The dog also
guides its master by pressure against
the legs causing the master to side-
step and vary his course according
to the demands of traffic.
Despite the fact that the dogs are
taught not to lead their masters into
danger, it does not follow that the
dogs which will be sent to Harris
on a Street. They will enter the
traffic and take their master safely
through it. Since dogs are color
blind, they cannot observe traffic
lights. ;
Much depends upon the training
of the master to the dog which usu-
ally requires about three weeks. The
dogs which will be sent to Harris-
burg are thoroughly trained, having
undergone the special course in New
York. It is necessary of course to
train the masters to the dog so that
the human beings can follow the
guiding of he animals.
Two previous classes have been
held in Nashville, Tenn., and in New
York where the dogs have proven
absolutely successful and trustwor-
thy when the dog and master were
properly trained together. There
are now twelve blind persons in the
country who own twelve of these
S.
do he animals are all of the finest
strain and must be registered with
the American Kennel Association,
thus assuring accurate and perfect
pedigrees. All dog's are between the
ages of fourteen months and four
ears and are calculated to live and
work for about ten years, at least.
Each dog when it is turned over
to its prospective master for train-
ing is taught that this is itsispecial
charge. The dogs are not taught to
be ugly to strangers approaching
their masters, but the natural loy-
alty of a dog virtually assures pro-
tection and help to its master when
is needed.
¥ The Council For the Blind is
spo this course in Harrisburg
at the request of the Seeing Eye
Inc., an assocation for the interests
of the blind. Financial aid is being
interested by the Seeing Eye
throughout the country, in the hope
that in the near future, dogs may be
furnished at much reduced cost so
that those unable to pay the present
price can avail themselves of what
officials say is one of the best (solu-
tions to the problem of caring for
the blind who are able to be around
and earn a living if safe guidance
is provided.

SAVE BITTERSWEET FOR BIRDS
Due to the scarcity of all foods for
wild birds and game, protection of
bittersweet shrubs is more import-
ant than usually, says WwW. Gard
Conklin, chief of the bureau of lands
and refuges.
Conkle appealed to lovers of wild
life to allow the bittersweet berries
to remain in their natural environ-
ment rather than use them for al-
leged adornment of mantels and
walls.
Attaches of the Game Commission
say the bittersweet berries are an
important item in wild life food be-
cause they do not fall from the vines
until late in the winter and are thus
accessible during heavy snowstorms.
Officials of the Department of
Forests and Waters also have
ed citizens of the State to forego the
usual custom of tearing the shrubs
from the ground and bearing them
to city homes.
Following the lead of some city
florists even “hot dog” stands are
now offering bittersweet for sale
permitting supposed nature lovers to
obtain it without the exertion of
leaving an automobile.
Those interested agree that unless
‘there is decreasing demand for the
bittersweet berries for use as decora-
tion that it will soon be exterminat-
ed in the States.
The Game Commission’s program
for feeding the wild life of the State
already is under way. Because the
transportation of domestic grains to
remote points where it will be found
bY tue wild things of the woods is a
cult problem officials are anxious
to conserve all natural food supplies.

HIGH DEGREE OF SAFETY
ACHIEVED IN AVIATION
How safe is airplane travel to-
e first comprehensive answer to
this question, which is concerning
more and more Americans each
year, is provided by Herbert Bruck-
er, writer and aviation enthusiast, in
a survey of current aerial activities
in America which is published in
The Review of Reviews.
By computing the number of miles
flown within the latest recorded per- |
iod and the number of fatal acci-.
dents in four classes of flying: army,
navy, air mail and civilian flying
clubs—Mr. Brucker finds flying has
achieved an incredibly high degree
of safety.
The average naval aviator today
can fly for 19 years before meeting
a fatal accident, he calculates. The
army flier can record 17 and one-
half years without a fatal crash;
the air mail service recorded but one
death in 129 years of flying; the civ-
1928, which would mean but one
death in 129 years of flying; the ci-
ilian club flyer, including the dan-
gerous period of student flying, had
an average record indicating 13 and
one-half years aloft without a fatal
accident.
All of these classes of flyers face
dangers not encountered by the oc-
casional air passenger, Mr. Bruck-
er points out.
“Among naval flyers there were
13,728,000 miles flown and 28 kill-
ed,” he shows. The record last year
was 392,000 miles flown for each
death. On the basis of the difficult
flying done last year by naval avia-
tors, that would mean that a man
could fly 19 years, even if he werea
frequent flyer, before he would be
killed. :
“This general conclusion is borne
out by the army's experience. Army
flying has almost tripled in seven
years, and the number of fatalities
has shrunk to one-third. Last year
there was approximately a death to
every 351,700 miles flown, indicat-
ing that an average man could fly
on military tasks and an intricate
maneuvers some 17 and one-half
years before having a fatal crash.”
The air mail service for a single
year shows but one death for 2,273,-
000 miles of fligh:, his Review of
Reviews article shows. Estimating
that the professional mail pilot cov-
ers 20,000 miles a year,
that this record means but one
death in 129 years.
For civilian sport-flying, Mr.
Brucker takes the figures of the Ca-
nadian Light Airplane clubs, many
of whose members were student fly-

FLYING IS FELT So
: IN ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is another profession
that is being influenced by the great
development % aviation. This igen.
emp. y the desi repared by
| Frank E. McMillan, B berrteadent
of the division of post office quart-
| ers and engineering, for the propos-
jod new Chicago post office, which
| contemplates a great flat roof, 320
| feet wide and 800 feet long.
| The * evolution of architectural
styles, like a natural evolution, is
| a slow process following the improv-
ed needs of growing intelligence. In
| America architecture is less than
| three hundred years old. In this
: period it has progressed from the log
{cabin to our modern monumental
| buildings. It took 1,000 years to
| produce the Egyptian temple, 500
‘years to build the Greek temples
rand 300 years to erect imperial
| Rome. And never were the de-
i mands and requirements as many as
today. In materials, in structure
and in purpose, the task of the arch-
itect is increasingly gigantic. And
now the architect’s purpose is to be
changed if not dominated by our
getting into the air.
Not just for the landing spaces
are the modern cities concerned. An
artistic view from the air is de-
manded. German architects are
studying this matter with the inten-
tion of recommending improvements
in the aspect from the bird's eye.
Therefore we may expect roof
gardens. Also we may not be sur-
prised to see some of the billboards
that line the automobile trails go up
and lie down on top of the business
houses. Atlanta tells the flying
world that it is “Atlanta” by spelling
it out on top of one of the highest
buildings.
Our future cities will present an
entirely different skyline, experts say.
Such Gothic buildings as the
worth skyscraper and those of Chi-
cago University with points and
spikes and towers discouraging to
aviators probably will disappear.
Lieut. Bernt Balchen, who piloted
the giant “America” through hours
of storm and fog over France look-
ing for a place to come down, said in
answer to those who were surprised

ABOUT THERMOMETERS
It seems strange to us that a lit-
tile over one hundred years ago, the
only way to tell of the weather or
the atmosphere of a room, or to
speak about its being hot or cold,
was by one’s own personal sensa-
tions. Nowadays all we need to do,
from the beginning of the year to
its end, is to look at the thermome-
ter, and no matter how varying the
changes may be, it informs us cor-
rectly of the state of atmosphere
whether indoors or out.
Seventeen hundred years seems 8
long time to have waited for sucha
convenient little instrument, and
one. How the people managed with-
out it we cannot imagine. To be
sure, many attempts were made by
ment for measuring heat and cold.
But not one of them was successful.
Andif Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit
had not failed in his business as a
country merchant, there is no telling
how we of today would be speaking
of the weather.
Sir Isaac Newton tried to produce
an instrument that would measure
| heat, but he made out no better
, than Halley, the noted astronomer,
who failed in the attempt.
| After Fahrenheit, who was a na-
tive of Danzig, failed in business, he
turned his attention to chemistry
; and mechanics. He was a poor man
and had lived in an obscure way;
and while he had a taste for higher
learning, he had never been able to
gratify his love for chemistry.
Now, however, he began a series
of experiments for the production of
‘thermometers. And it is owing to
' his determination to succeed, and
| his loyalty to the conviction that he
| must give to the world the instru-
ment which has proved serviceable
' to mankind, that we are enabled to
have a definite way of speaking
about hot or very hot, cold or very
cold. ’
Fahrenheit for his first few instru-
one which is of interest to every-|
scientific men to produce an instru-!
| ments used alcohol. But very soon
he became convinced that a more
| suitable article to use in the glass
{tube was the semi-solid merc
By this time, about the year
1720,
zig to Amsterdam, and there he
| made mercury thermometers, all like
the original one.
The basis of Fahrenheit’s plan
was this: “To mark on the tube the
two points respectively at which
water is congealed and boiled and
graduate the space between. He
commenced with an arbitrary mark-
ing with 32 degrees, because he
found the mercury descended 32 de-
grees before coming to what he
thought the extreme cold resulting
sal amoniac. In 1724 he published
a distinct treatise on the conclusion
that had resulted therefrom.”
Not long afterwards a noted Swed-
ish scientist, Celsus, introduced the
Centigrade thermometer, which sug-
gested to graduation of one hun-
dred degrees between freezing and
boiling point. Reaumut, a French
scientist, also proposed
graduation which has been accepted
by the French government. But
Fahrenheit’s scale, with 32 degrees
as freezing, 55 degrees at temper-
ate, 96 degrees as blood heat, and
212 degrees as boiling point, has
been used and adopted all over the
civilized world. .
