I have a female and a male lovebird. I bought a nest box and put palm leaves inside the cage for nesting material. The lovebirds go inside the next box to hide and to sleep, but they seem to be making a nest of the palm leaves. What can I do to make them mate? S.C., Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. A.

I have a question about my Persian cat, Boots. He apparently is in fine health, but he drinks so much water all the time. He always did drink more water than milk, but now he just drinks water Could he be diabetic? We have him checked regularly. He is 10 years old and a.great pet. E.F., Columbus, Ohio.

A. There are several problems that could cause excessive drinking. One is diabetis melitus. This can be checked out by running glucose blood levels. Another disease that could have this symptom is kidney problems.

This also can be checked out by doing blood work. My suggestion is to have some blood work run on your cat to help rule out problems and maybe find the real problem. Q. I have a problem with a 3-year-old poodle. Housebreaking.

Her former owners were cruel to her. They would leave her confined all day, then kick her for messing in the house. Some friends gave her to us because the other owners were so cruel. tried everything, taking her out at regular times several times a day. She still waits till she gets in the house, especially if I run an errand.

She understands everything else like eat, go to bed, go, stay. in need of help. I scold her but hit her. Mrs. G.N., Puyallup, Wash.

A. Housebreaking problems can be extremely persistent and difficult to correct. I would suggest that you contact a dog training group in your area. You can usually find these groups through dog breeder associations. There are also veterinarians who specialize in behavior problems and your veterinarian may be able to refer you to one.

Q. I have a cat, lVfe-years-old, that coughs. The veterinarian seem to come up with a cure. She eats cat food and get any table scraps. I worm her regularly.

What would you suggest? F.D., Warsaw, Ohio. A. Coughing in a young cat may be caused by a number of conditions such as hair balls, allergic bronchitis, chronic bacterial or viral bronchitis, inhaled foreign bodies, fungal infections, lung worms, etc. In order to effect a cure a veterinarian must first come up with a diagnosis. We suggest you try another veterinarian.

Q. I have a mixed Pekingese and Chihuahua that has been spayed and is 7 years old. She constantly scratches and has lost much of her hair from this. I have taken her to the vet and he gives her shots, but theey only stop the itching for a week or so. I would like to know whether yeast tablets would be a possible cure for the scratching and hair loss and if so, how many tablets and how often she should get them.

I enjoy your column and the bird information, because I not only have two dogs, I feed the birds and have two martin houses. Thank you very much. M.S.L., Baton Rouge, La. A. There is no scientific data that proves the efficiency of yeast tablets in preventing itching.

What probably referring to is itching due to flea allergy. Hence, because of no available research there is no disage. I would advise control of fleas in the enviroment. Talk to your veterinarian about what he would recommend pertaining to flea control, etc. If your dog has developed allergies, ask your veterinarian about allergic testing, de-sensitization or removing the allergens from your environment.

and Mrs. Gordon Edwards, Kiowa life recorded Culmination of a project begun in 1975 to insure the preservation of Kiowa history, culture and folklore will come with the Texas Christian University Press publication of a two-book, four-volume series entitled Kiowa Voices. A $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and additional funding from TCU has cleared the way for publication of book one in early 1980, said Dr. James Newcomer, TCU Press director. It will contain volume Kiowa Voices: Dance, Music and Song and volume Kiowa Voices: Myths and Legends.

Book two, containing volume III and volume Kiowa Voices: Sane-Day Stories and Kiowa Voices: History and Heroes, will be printed in 1981, Dr. Newcomer said. Both books will contain 24 specially commissioned color illustrations and several hundred black and white illustrations by Kiowa and western artists. The project was conceived by Kiowa scholars and artists who were concerned about the possibility of the permanent loss of their history as tribal elders passed away The first result of their concern was incorporation the Kiowa Historical and Research Society with he approval of the Kiowa Tribal Council. Jointly sponsored by TCU and the National Endowment for the Arts, the society produced the four volumes with the intention of providing the Kiowa version of their own history and culture.

Project director Dr. Maurice Boyd, TCU history department chairman, said information for the work was gathered from oral histories handed down from generation to generation and until now recorded only in the memories of tribal elders. Additional information was gleaned from the papers of the late Susan Peters, United States Bureau of Indian Affairs field matron for the Kiowa tribe from 1917 to 1965. Other information sources Boyd named were manuscripts from various archival museums in Oklahoma. Emphasizing that his role was that of an editor, Boyd acknowledged the work of Linn pauahty and other members of the tribe whose efforts, he said, have made the work an authentic voice of the Kiowa people.
