What you’re looking at

This page contains a human-interest article about dogs, not political satire. The "Hero Dogs" feature describes real dogs honored at Crufts Dog Show (a British dog competition) for acts of valor—rescuing children, detecting injuries, and saving drowning victims. The piece argues, via a quote from the London Abolitionist, that society's gratitude toward dogs performing such heroic deeds independently should make vivisection (animal testing) unthinkable. The page also includes advertising: a Schrader tire-pressure gauge ad and a substantial Kodak camera advertisement emphasizing precision engineering and efficiency. Below are book reviews for contemporary titles on French history, composition, and poetry.

Our readers will be interested in learning the feats they had performed. “Duke,” a Scotch collie, had saved a child from being run over by a horse and van. “Paddy,” an Irish terrier, had de- votedly guarded the body of an old lady who died from exposure. “Charles,” an Airedale collie, had saved the life of his master by attacking It. a fox terrier, had discovered and persistently drawn attention to a man lying with a broken thigh-bone. great dane, had given warn- “Basher.” a bulldog, and “Nell,” a fox terrier, had saved life in the same way “Tudor,” a retriever, had rescued a loy from drownin “White E a bull terrier, had also dragged a child from the water, and so had “ Bylis Oussel,” a collie. “Sheba Queen,” a bloodhound, had tracked a lost child and found her in a disused cellar. Last, but not least, “Rover,” an Trish terrier, had saved a drowning sailor.

Here ts true KODAK efficiency. OU can make a photograph with a pin hole foralens. Cheap cameras have small lenses, with correspondingly small open- ings—-but fast enough for snap-shots in a good light. As you get into the better grades, the lenses grow larger. True efficiency requires a lens of fairly long focus that will work with a large opening—a big lens in a big shutter. That's the kind you find in the No. 1 Autographic Kodak Special. And with it a shutter that has a speed up to 1/300 of a second. Here is true efficiency with nothing sacrificed to mere ittleness. And in every detail of construction and finish this little camera shows evidence of having come from the factory where honest workmanship has become a habit.
