Member Kansas Press Association CONTROL INSISTENCE Using currently declining farm crop prices as a warning, some farm leaders at Washington are insisting upon a production control measure for this session of Congress, or a special session in October if the present. session quickly adjourns. Is there any hurry for a production control law to bolster prices? There is not as, to wheat.
In fact current American prices are enough below Liverpool to make export profitable and large United States export shipments are under way as Europe seeks to improve a supply situation that is none too good. Heavy exports are the best insurance on earth that the United States will not produce too much wheat, particularly with the high plains out of heavy production, possibly for some time. As to corn the need of production control will not arise soon if the livestock population comes back quickly enough to consume the average supply. After several years of shortage and imports, the corn crop this year is not estimated- to be above normal. There will not be too much corn if enough livestock can be found to feed.
But cotton is in a different category. Exports of cotton have been declining for years. If exports, the most feasible solution, can not be increased, the only way out for cotton may be acreage control. There is one thing certain, the Administration is not going to suffer a drastic decline in farm prices if it can help it. The Administration soon will drive determinedly for control authority, whether control is exercised as to some crops or not.
OUT OF HIS BOOK It would not be surprising to see members of the National Labor Relations Board begin resigning soon; or be shifted to other assignments in Washington. The American Federation of- is after the present personnel with vigor. Five state Federation conventions have adopted resolutions demanding removal of NLRB members for alleged CIO bias. They are Washington state, Mississippi, Ohio, North Carolina and Massachusetts. New York, Indiana and others will take similar action.
Then, if the business has not been accomplished by the time of the national Federation convention in October at Denver, the demand will burst with a loud detonation there. The Federation got its dander up through labor -board rulings in several states. A typical instance was in Massachusetts. The labor board ordered an election at a shoe company plant in Haverhill where a Federation union already had a long standing contract. Earlier the Federation had determined to demand amendments to the labor relations law.
Now it has decided to get results through the personnel administering the law. President Roosevelt started something with his Supreme Court scheme and the Federation is adopting exactly the same technique to fit its own peculiar requirements. THINKING HARD It is unofficially stated that Japan will exercise suzerainty over China as far south as the Yellow river. This is getting dangerously close to stepping on Great Britain's toes. Just south of the Yellow river, and drained partly by it and partly by the Yangtse river, is Honan province.
It is an area rich in natural resources. The British have many concessions there as well as large holdings in the Yangtse valley. Japan is coveting Honan and in -the course of time will seize it. That puts the Japs right up against the British. Japanese subjugation of China to the Yellow river takes in Peiping and Tientsin.
A little farther south along the coast is Shanghai, the port controlling the rich country washed by the Yangtse. The British were at a tension when Japan walloped the Chinese in Shanghai In 1931. They will have their nerves on edge continuously now with Japan entrenched and within striking distance of Shanghai and the Yangtse. The British are pretty much occupied at home. But they are doubtless thinking hard whether to let their big Chinese interests go by the boards or throw their powerful navy over there some bright day and try to give the Japs a lesson.
GOOD TIMES COMING While this part of the country has long mistrusted the Wall Street bankers because it suspected them of hogging privileges which put the interior of America in maladjustment with the East, the Wichita area will be interested in the theory of these bankers that a marked upturn in business is just ahead. Competency of the judgment of many of these men was most severely indicted in 1929, but they probably are in better position to judge than others. These bankers say that unless something unforseen occurs there will be a big splurge in business this coming fall. They look for this because (1) of the present high level of business activity as reflected by various, statistics, (2) the continually increasing income of wage earners and farmers and (3) the change in public sentiment toward the C. I.
O. labor movement and possibly toward the New Deal. This change in sentiment, they believe is encouraging to business men who have opposed one or both of them. Incidentally the business maps now show nearly all of the East to be enjoying good business while most of the West has from fair to quiet business conditions. Since both depression and prosperity.
are supposed to start East and work West, the outlook for good times in the Wichita territory is excellent. SHELTERBELT What about the shelterbelt? Latest reports indicate it is justifying itself an hundredfold. From Amarillo, Texas, to the Canadian border, a strip 1,000 miles long and 100 miles wide there are growing in bright green rows 2,604 miles of trees, 44,178,000 trees in all. Many more trees were planted but the drouths of 1934, 1935 and 1936 snuffed out some of them. But 60 per cent of all trees survived, a remarkable showing when one calls the terrific drouths through which they passed.
They have grown astonishingly. The Forest Service reports that some trees grew ten feet in the first season and five feet the "second. Their roots. are anchoring the soil against erosion and their leaves contributing to fertility. Those who have followed the plantings estimate that 40 acres of trees actually help to save the soil of 600 acres of land in addition to providing fuel, fenceposts and cover for pest-destroying birds.
The program to date has cost $3,000,000. The government will never get more general welfare out of a similar expenditure. And the benefits of the $3,000,000 expenditure will be expansive in that thousands of farmers, stimulated -by the government's example, will do some tree planting own and contribute vastly to the conservation and the productivity of the prairies. Japan will push on to the Yellow river, which is then liable to become a red river. Maybe Britain would have better luck racing the American yacht with a motor boat.
Another thing this country needs is some Federal corporation in Washington to stabilize the pork chop. There will be meteor showers next week but it will be all right with Kansas if they are hidden by rain clouds. Seven thousand Americans want to fight for China. They should 1 be warned they will get no bonus later on. That windstorm yesterday morning showed August can huff and puff.
But whether he can rain is to be proved. Those automobile workers in Detroit should have learned. by this time that a fight a day keeps the wages away. Moscow will erect a 102-story building, although Moscow is already well storied in the matter of propaganda. Judging by the way foreigners are getting out of troubled countries, now is a good time to form stay-athome habits.
Eight plugs will be fashioned for the income tax loopholes. Eight times eight are needed for the expenditure leaks. Government is building some houses for the "ill- housed" at a cost of $20,000 each. Who will supply the caviar for the inmates when they get settled? Women's clothing is being made out of glass. The breakage will be terrific but probably no worse than the way women's clothes have been breaking father.
Governor Allred of Texas urges third term for President Roosevelt. If he tries it and wins, he will have a lot of "original Roosevelt third term men" to take care of. Kansas Currents Among those not to be envied are members of the Kansas National Guard in their August maneuvers at Fort Riley. Those applying for old age pensions in Kansas now know that they expected a whole lot more than they are going to get. If music has power to calm the savage beast, asks the McPherson Republican, how is it that high notes make a dog howl? Kansas highway patrol is going to inspect and stamp on cars that are "safe" to drive.
And how much is that going to cost? When the old apply for assistance in Kansas, they learn that instead of leaning on the state, the state wants a lien on their property. Husking pegs are making their appearance, in the stores again. When husking pegs are on sale, pigs on the farm can't be far behind. Crystal KANSAS CITY, July 16, Missouri river barges are stuck in the mud near here and defy all efforts to move them. An effort will be made to get the government to send 8 WPA or a CCC camp here to dig them out.
Just to remind the taxpayer that he has no breathing spell, the 1938 license plates have been completed at the reformatory and are being distributed. Topeka thinks the state tax levy may be reduced, which will have about as much relation to the whole as clipping the hair off the end of an elephant's tail. When two or three girls are talking together, observes one Kansas writer, there 1s a word that runs through the conversation like a theme and that word is "he." When is a hobby a nuisance? When, answers the Kansas City Kansan, the other fellow insists on telling you about his when you want to tell him about yours. Deceiving Her "What do you mean," demanded a Harper husband, "by saying that I have been deceiving you for years?" just found out," sobbed the wife, "that the government allows you $2,500 a year on your income tax for being, married, and you only allow me miserable $10 a month." Oklahoma Outlines Vad, in the Enid Events, says that two years ago he couldn't find a cool glass of beer 'round the square and that now he can't dodge the taverns, pubs and The Oklahoman says if anybody remarks how well you are looking, you are getting old. They never think of it anybody who really looks old, the paper opines.
A Kay county paper notes President Roosevelt notified Senator Thomas that he is opposed at this time to rigid dollars and it wonders just what he thinks of rubber nickels. It generally pays to be agreeable, but you don't want to agree audibly with the woman who peers into a mirror and then exclaims: "I look like a wreck," declares, the Fairview Republican. Oklahoma crows will no doubt be shocked to learn that the state has appropriated $6,000 for their eradication and that much money should buy a lot of dynamite, says the Ponca City News. The Tulsa World doesn't know whether the editor of the Chandler Citizen has sto wife whose good graces he wants stand in with or not, but in event it foresees trouble for him. He wants to know what has become of the pretty girls Chandler used to have.
The Cherokee County DemocratStar points out that the oldest co-ed in the nation is Mrs. Minerva Drake Stivender, who at the age of 82 is enrolled at the university of Florida. She is studying Spanish and Shakespeare and says there is so much to learn. District Judge Ben Arnold impatiently, if not wrathfully, spoke words in the Putnam City school board clerk ouster case which should be engraved and posted in every school administration office in the the Oklahoma Times. "Politics is fine, but polltics has no business in schools or churches," Arnold said.
When Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hellweg returned to El Reno after a tour of Europe, they gave to B. Hunt 3 bottle of perfume they brought from Paris. They handed the obotolisito him down town and he was so excited by the presentation he dropped it on sidewalk.
The bottle broke and all Hunt got was a few fumes that arose from the cement, reports the El Reno Daily Tribune. Big News "We'd better make a front page story of the wedding," remarked the editor of a paper in Thomas recently. "Why?" asked the society reporter in surprise, "they aren't very prominent people."

THE AFTERNOON BRIDGE CLUB I SPADES A A RUN TO THE BASEMENT CHILDREN, MOTHER WILL COME, AS SOON AS WE FINISH THIS RUBBER A ONE THAT WEBSTER. OVER, LOOKED JUBILEE'S PARDNER By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS Today was Saturday and me and Jubilee woke up wondering what the bunch and Youniss and everybody was doing and wishing we was there to help them do it, and then I took Jubilee down and pushed him out of the side door and went back upstairs and got under the shower and then I got dressed and went down to breakfast and when we was eating we heard a clattering out in front and I looked out of the window and it was Bill and his car, and Mr. Carl told Gladiola to tell him to come in and have some breakfast, but she came back and said Bill wouldn't come any further than the kitchen and when we got done eating Mr. Carl and I went to the kitchen where Bill was mopping up and Mr. Carl said "What do you plan to do today" and Bill said, "I thought we might go see the Longhorn Caverns up past Austin.
It would take all day but I ain't never seen them," and Mr. Carl said, "No, I don't care for you to do that. I am afraid of caves. A rock might fall from the roof and smash some one," and Bill said that was so and what had we better do, and wouldn't it be a good idee to take me out to a convict farm and see men working in the red hot sun with gards watching them with rifles and then take me to Huntsville and show me the men in the prison, so that I would know what happens to bad people, and Mr. Carl hollered "No! No! Nothing like that.
I don't want him to even think of that side of life, let alone see it," so then Bill said "How about Santone?" and Mr. Carl said that sounded all right, and then Bill asted me did I show Mr. and Mrs. Carl the starfish and abaloney, so I went up and got them, when Mrs. Carl asted me what I was going to do with them I didn't want to make her feel bad by mentioning Carolyn, so I said I was going to put them on the grave of a little girl I knowed who was dead, and Mrs.
Carl went in the other room and Mr. Carl said he had to be getting to town so he went away, and when we got outside Bill said "Who was the little girl," and when told him it was their little girl who was dead he a said, "No wonder you smeared things!" Then the i bunch came running and I asted them how many wanted to go to Santone and they all scattered to ast their mothers, and kids mothers are glad to get rid of them in vacation, and me and Jubilee rode on the front seat with Bill, and in Richmond Erick and Fred had a scrap and Erick punched Fred in the nose and they was still fighting when we was near Rosenburg and Bill looked around to tell them to shut up and ran into a fence post and finished his radiator and had to walk to Rosenburg to get a wrecker to pull back to Houston, and we all had fun and when we got in the shop Bill asted the man what all needed doing to his car and the man said the horn was all right and if he would hitch a new car to it he would get along fine and Bill told him not to do anything to it till he told him to, and then we all walked home and Mrs. Carl was surprised. (To Be Continued) HOW IS YOUR HEALTH By WILLIAM BRADY, MD. WHAT IS EASILY DIGESTIBLE never took any stock in the common notion of "indigestion" as an explanation for illness or distress enough to demand medical relief, never until one dismal afternoon when, an hour after I had eaten part of a fresh coconut, I was seized with a serious bellyache.
Nothing like a bellyache of your own to make you realize how serious it can be. I became sorely distressed about it. My conscience, believe it or not, began to be uneasy too -I recalled the many sarcastications I had uttered about "acute indigestion" in the years I had been harping on health. A touch of irony is well enough in the proper place, but after alland then it occurred to me that I had eaten coconuts often enough before maybe with reader impunity some had failed to receive a reply had slipped me a little poison. You will never know how despondent I was when I crawled into bed and sent for a doctor.
And the doctor never knew how happy I was when he said "Um, yes, we had better operate immediately." Only the tender condition of my belly kept me from letting out a hearty haw-haw. As soon as the anesthetic had worn off I had a look at that gangrenous appendix and ordered couple of coconuts on my tray. Indigestion, eh? A near thing for me. Suppose my doctor had been one of the humbugs who acquiesce in the dangerous diagnosis of "indigestion" until they can find out what really ails the patient. Where would I be harping now? "Acute indigestion" is a dangerous delusion, and the sooner a competent physician surgeon is summoned the better.
Mere retardation or for that matter. total failure to digest any food or combination of foods never produces more than vague discomfort. If one suffers from actual distress, bloating, gas, colic, cramp, pain, nausea, vomiting. especially when such distress persists or recurs periodically, there is surely a pathological cause for itsome trouble with appendix. gallsac, heart, kidney, spinal vous system, only a good physician can say.
All we can say here is that one is Love, Honor and Neglect By VIDA HURST CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT In her printed crepe dress with her?" of Frances' gay colored peasaprons tied about her slender with waist Estelle was the picture of not perfect wife. Domestic, efficient, I attractive. girl Bill said, "Mother was alone when happened. I wasn't in the office you she managed to call Estelle." "And I came right out," Estelle explained brightly. I Bill with "You've been wonderful," ignoring the storm signals in Frances' eyes.
may "When did it happen?" she asked. you? "About 4 o'clock. She's feeling she better now. The doctor was here before you came. says immediate danger." is there is no "That's good!" Frances said briefly.
She saw Estelle's eyes full of all meet Bill's. Bill "You poor darling!" Estelle had her. She was sorry for him because had married the daughter of cry wealthy parents instead of a capagirl like herself. But what Estelle didn't know was that Frances tried to be a good wife. Bill been satisfied until his mother came to find fault with everything did.
Dinner "Everything's almost ready for dinner," Estelle informed her. "Mother Bond had done the marketing so I cooked what I found." A chilled, crisp salad was in the icebox. There were new potatoes and creamed asparagus and swiss steak prepared exactly as Mrs. Bond fixed it. he "I made a short cake for dessert," Estelle added.
"The strawberries were here and I knew Bill would like it." "Bill will love it," Frances assured her. No wonder he had fallen for her. Estelle flattered him with every word she uttered. As they ate the delicious dinner she you prepared Frances admitted her own defeat. The food was perfect and Bill was loud in his praise of is Frances told herself she would never be able to cook like this, not a thousand years.
Scarcely able to swallows she sat miserable, silent to the scene played by her husband and a the other girl. Estelle's spirits were spite of her concern over "Mother Bond" as she called her, Frances could see that she was giddy with excitement. Her hands fluttered nervously. Her eyes darted from Bill Frances and back to Bill again. "Now you mustn't worry, Bill," she said.
"The doctor said this attack wasn't nearly so serious as the other one." Chicago Trip "I hope he's right," Bill answered. "I have to go to Chicago tomorrow night." It was the first Frances had heard about it. "How long will you be gone?" she asked. "Just over the weekend." "I'll come over Sunday," Estelle volunteered, "and any other evening if she wants me." When dinner was over she suggested washing the dishes but Bill said, "Nothing doing. You've done enough around here." Frances was permitted to do them alone while Bill took Estelle to the car line.
"I suppose he's still telling her how wonderful she is," she thought. Never in her life had she been so hurt. Pain and anger and wounded love and pride were spinning like wheels in her brain. "We're going to have this out tonight," she decided. The memory of her plan to put her arms around Bill's neck and tell him she loved him made her smile bitterly.
A lot it meant to him whether she loved him or not! But although she was so anxious to talk it over with him, the discussion had to be postponed until the wall bed had been taken down and Mrs. Bond moved into the living room. She insisted that she was all right now but her heavy sighs seemed to deny it." Thrust at Frances "It's a darned shame," Bill said when they had gone to their own room, "that she should have been here alone." This was no doubt an indirect thrust at his wife but Frances had some ac accusations of her own to make. "Shut the door," she commanded in a tone she knew Bill disliked. "I want to talk to you." He glanced at her suspiciously.
"About what?" "About Estelle," she blazed. Bill closed the door. "Please, don't let's go into that It's after midnight and I'm dead tired. I have to go to Chicago tomorrow and I've a thousand things to do before I leave." "You're just trying to evade the question," she declared. "Did you kiss her or didn't you?" "What do you mean?" "I saw her put her hands on your shoulders and lift her face.
I heard what she said, too." Bill looked surprised. "You did? I'm sorry, Fran. I couldn't help her saying it." "You couldn't help kissing her either, I suppose?" "I didn't kiss her the way you mean," he denied. "I've known Estelle for years you know. And I'm awfully grateful to her for the things she does for mother.
It would been pretty crude of me to have pushed her away." Frances sat up in bed looking like an avenging angel. Different "I can't understand why you have to be so considerate of every one's feelings but mine. Unless you don't love me any more. That must be the answer, Bill. You've been so different since your mother came to live with us." "You've 'been different, too," he reminded her, turning out the light.
Frances switched it on again. "Everything was fine until she began to find fault with me. Now you are comparing me with Estelle all the time. Why didn't you marry plied Graywing in a huff. "Your not believing doesn't change the facts." The next story: "The Largest Animal." Estelle if you are so crazy about one ant a it but said, just pity said.
he ble had had she it. in Fox wanted to believe Graywing the Gull. He really did You see, Graywing looked as if he were telling the truth. He looked as if he believed everything he was saying. He had told Reddy of the sea, sO big that, although had been so far out over it that he could not see the shore he had left, he still was not in sight of the other shore.
It was. hard for Reddy to believe that could be anywhere so much as that, but he had made himself believe it. Then Graywing had told of Barker the seal and how he lives in the sea and comes out on the rocks merely for a sun bath now and then, and how his feet are not like other feet, but more like fins, so that he is sometimes called Finfoot. This sounded to Reddy very much as if Barker must be a fish. Graywing said he wasn't any more fish than Reddy was, but Reddy couldn't help doubting, and Graywing saw it in his eyes.
"Did you ever hear of a fish being drowned?" asks Graywing, "Of course not, Don't ask silly questions," retorted Reddy. "Barker the seal would drown If he couldn't come up to the surface and put his head out for fresh air every so often," replied Graywing. "He is just like Little Joe Otter in this respect. I don't wonder you doubt, but it is really so. Barker is rust as much an animal-a mammal- you are.
He was born on land, not far from the water, but en land, just the same. If you coulld see him and hear him bark you wouldn't doubt at all. He has a round head, something like that of Little Joe Otter, only much bigger, and he doesn't look like a fish. Now. it is different with Dolph the Porpoise." "Who," demanded Reddy, "is Dolph the Porpoise? I never heard of him." "You wouldn't be likely to, not living on the seashore," said Graywing.
"But who is he?" persisted. Reddy. "He is another lives in the sea, but if you should see you probably would call him a fish, and I wouldn't wonder at it. Most people call him a fish. He looks like fish.
He has tail like a fish." "Does he come on the rocks. like Barker the seal?" Reddy asked. "Never." replied Graywing. "No fish would be more helpless out of water than Dolph the Porpoise. But he isn't fish, and he would be insulted if you called him a fish.
He would, indeed. In fact, he is a sort cousin of the largest of all "Do you mean Flathorns the Moose? Or perhaps you mean a Horse." said Reddy, these being the largest animals of his acquaintance. "Neither of them is the largest of all animals, or anything like it," deGraywing scornfully. "The largest lives in the sea." "How big is he?" demanded Reddy. "That is hard to say," replied Graywing.
"Of course," replied Graywing. "I've seen him way out in the sea, when he came up to blow." "What did he blow for?" asked Reddy. "To get rid of bad air in his lungs and make room for fresh air," replied Graywing. "He comes up to the surface of the water and blows the bad air out. I've seen him do it and I've heard him." "Well, how big is persisted Reddy.
"If you've him, why can't you tell me how big he is?" Graywing reached up with one foot and scratched his head. "He is as much bigger than a Horse as you are bigger than Danny Meadow said he slowly. "I don't believe it!" declared Reddy frankly and emphatically. "There isn't any such animal." "I don't ask you to believe it," re- "I didn't happen to be in love ner," Bill replied wearily. "I'm now.
Good Lord, just because make a few kind remarks to the must you go all to pieces?" "There's more than that to it and know it. Things aren't the same between us." "That's true," he admitted, "but don't see what that has to do Estelle." "Because you don't want to. You as well tell me the truth. You're sorry you married me, aren't You can't deny it, can you?" cried, praying that he would. "There have been times, and this one of them," he replied frankly, "when I think we made a Frances began to cry.

He was letting her without making any attempt to comfort her. Breaking Point reinstead. he stand said this any impatiently, longer, "I Frances! I have to get some sleep.
You kept me awake most of last night crying." The fact that her heart was broken, her ideals of a happy marriage smashed, meant nothing to him. She tried to stop but she couldn't.

How could he rise and fling clothes? is "Where are you going?" she wept.
"To a hotel where I can get some sleep," he retorted. (To Be Continued) GOOD MORNING STORY By THORNTON W. BURGESS Reddy Is in Doubt Doubt has a persistent way; It is difficult to lay. -Reddy Fox. ME AND MY DOG (From the Scientific American) Can your dog think? "Certainly," say.
"Certainly not," says the psychologist. Then we have all the makings of a good row, for the dog man's best friend, to be treated with respect and reverence, even by the man of science. At the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest--for all dog lovers potential dog defenders- Professor G. H. Estabrooks, Colgate university psychologist, states that dogs cannot be regarded scientifically as thinking animals.
Dogs can learn, but learning and thinking are not the same, and so the most that the psychologist concedes is that dogs think on a very low plane, if at all, and that for all practical purposes your dog is a non-thinking animal. "What? My dog doesn't think?" replies any dog owner with considerable feeling. "Then how do you explain this?" And he tells you a remarkable feat which his dog did last week. Professor himself likes dogs and has for running Estabrooks, them down, either verbally or literally. But the business of science to examine things impartially, so the scientist with his animal laboratory moves up more closely to the dog question and analyzes without bias.
When different dog performances are studied analytically, it turns out that your dog can learn-often better than you can. He knows enough, for example, not to do a thing a second time when it hurt him the first time--but learning and thinking are not the same thing. la fool to attribute such serious symptoms to "indigestion." Even tho old timers, some of them still exist, thought this and that food was more easily digestible and prescribed for invalids on that basis, newer knowledge of nutrition and actual observation of the process of digestion by physiologists have necessitated complete revision Porte takes dietetics longer of than twenty beef, years lamb ago. or chicken to digest, but pork is more nutritious than beef, lamb or chicken, and moreover a stomach does not get tired any more than a lung, heart or kidney does; an hour of digesting more or less means nothing, if one likes pork and needs the extra nourishment. When a particular food "disagrees" more than mentally the individual has an "idiosyncrasy," or as we say nowadays, is hypersensitive or allergic to that food.
Sometimes such allergy manifests itself in a severe reaction or upset if even a minute quantity of the offending food is ingested, knowingly or unresponsible allergic reacknowingly. Items, most frequently tions are milk, cream, raw onions, cooked cabbage, raw apple, chocolate, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, eggs, shellfish, but skin scratch tests reveal such sensitivity to almost any food in a given case.

Thus this argument may be only one more cast of confusion of terms. Nearly all arguments occur, in fact, because the participants, though they generally fail to realize the fact, give different meanings to the same words. When you think, you take for granted certain ways of thinking, because they are natural to youone is the use of words or language, but your dog lacks this human advanatge. Or you visualize, but your dog cannot do this. He cannot imagine things in his mind but must have a given situation right in front of his eyes.
Your third human advantage is your ability to imitate others. This your dog cannot do he will not imitate another dog. "These three factors-language, ability to think in the absence of an object, the tendency to imitate, give man an enormous advantage over your dog or any other animal," Professor Estabrooks says, but he adds that, "on the other hand, the dog possesses certain advantages over the human which, on first sight, give the appearance greater intelligence. That dog's hearing is remarkably acute and his sense of smell simply unbelievable." Another advantage which humans enjoy and dogs do not is what is called "insight learning." When an entire situation is presented to human being, with all the factors necessary for the solution in sight -such, for example, as an inaccessible collar button and a stick on a table- the human being can complete the picture by imagining the stick in use get at the collar button. The anthropoid ape likewise can do this, but other animals apparently cannot.
All these human advantages are thus denied the poor dog and, this being the case, he does remarkably well-perhaps better than you would. Deciding whether your dog actually thinks, therefore, requires the analytical separation of the things dogs can do from those he can't, but likewise demands the addition to the dog's score of those things he can, without thinking at all, do far better than you can.
