3038 Code FAFOR The Fastest Thing on Four Legs ' Bray
The Whippet, or racing dog, is small, light and, when properly trained,
is remarkably fast. He has been known to reach a speed of 35 miles per hour.
Young dogs in the training kennels are kept keyed up by regular exercise and
are cared for like race horses. We see them exercising to sweat off weight,
and learn how the trainers throw them in for a good start in a race.

3041 Code FAGE Chumming with the Animals Ditmars Showing a number of animals with special reference to their appetites
and methods of feeding. The first animal shown is the Pygmy Hippopotamus, followed by a bear being fed molasses from a spoon. Next we see the Fur Seals and are told that they can digest one-third of their weight in fish every day. Then a Mother Wolf with puppies and some close-ups of one of the wolf pups with an Airedale eating from the same dish. Then follow some animal stunts such as the Bison making his wallow of dust to free himself from vermin ; the Giraffe drinking, as an evidence that water can be made to run uphill ; a Monkey apparently engaged in earnest conversation and some very beautiful little Flying Squirrels from the Antipodes. Among ultrararities is shown an Australian Marsupial Bear, who looks for all the world like one of our toy Teddy Bears. Next a pygmy elephant is shown and the comparison drawn with the ordinary species. One of the interesting scenes is of a thoroughly domesticated groundhog who assists the keeper in gathering papers left upon the lawn at the Zoo.
Taken altogether this is one of the most interesting zoological pictures in the Library, and the photography is particularly excellent. 976 feet standard length Rental $1.50
3042 Code FAGI Animal and Bird Life in Pillsbury
Yosemite National Park A Bear is shown up a tree and, being tempted with a ginger snap, goes through a good many movements in a rather precarious position. Finally he comes down and there are numreous pictures of him being fed various delicacies, particularly syrup from a bottle. Several Chipmunks are shown, and their quick movements are almost beyond the ability of the camera to depict.
