Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbits and other presences too subtle for human detection. While sniffing, swhe spins her tail in quick circles, first clockwise, then counterclockwise. These two activities seem to propel her along.
2) The Government printing office in Washington D.C, the official publishing house for the federal government, is a source of much useful information. However, few people know about it. The GPO publishes pampleths and books in a vast number of subjects, ranging from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27.000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents, many of which are inexpensive and some of which are for free.
