Friday, April 12, 1946. Chips.

 

Chips, who had started off his life as a family pet and who went on to be the most decorated American war dog of the Second World War, died. He served in the Algerian-Moroccan, Tunisian, Sicilian, Rhineland and Central Europe Campaigns and won the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star and Purple Heart prior to the military ruling that only human beings could receive such awards.

He was returned to his owners, where he later died, after the war.

Tuesday, March 16, 1926. Sgt. Stubby crosses the Rainbow Bridge.

Boston Terrier Sgt. Stubby, mascot of the mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, died at age 10.  He'd served for 18 months in France in the Great War, participating in 100 battles and four offensives.  He provided warnings of attacks and of the use of mustard gas, and captured a German soldier by holding him by the seat of his pants.

He was a genuinely heroic dog.

The Casper recaptured fugitives indicated that they'd left Casper by rail.

I posted this page for the bus schedule.  I have a detailed thread coming up on trains, and then noted this.  I wasn't aware that there was a bus by 1926.

A closer look.

What isn't clear is how long the bus trip took.

There is bus service from Casper today.  Greyhound.  We'll take a look at that in some future post.

Apparently unrestrained immigration was worrying some.  Others were worrying about Wyoming's oilfield population leaving for Texas.

Robert Goddard launched the first liquid fuel rocket in the United States at his Aunt Effie's farm in Auburn, Massachusetts.

Rocketry, like aviation, advanced like crazy.  By World War Two rockets would be in use as ground weapons, air to air weapons, and of course, with the first ballistic missiles.

Thursday, October 8, 1925. World Series. . . both of them.

October 8 was a Thursday, which makes Life's press date an odd one.  Weeklys came out on Saturday typically, and monthlies on the first day of the month.

The Hilldale Club from Philadelphia won the second Colored World Series, beating the Kansas City Monarchs to win the 4 of 7 series.

The Pirates tied up the World Series with the Nationals in Game 2.

Saturday, January 31, 1925. Leonhard Seppala and Togo.

The longest part of the Serum Run was undertaken by Leonhard Seppala with lead dog Togo.  They ran through the dark across the dangerous ice of Norton Sound.

And the second for White Truck's 25th anniversary.

Of course, the humor magazine Judge was out as well.
