He Is Down on Dogs

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: 1 have been annoyed py
dogs for overten years and believe that
the nreeent law is magnificent failure.
There are no less than fifteen untagged
dogs within three hundred feet of my
home, with the dog catchers passing by.
They make life miserable with their ever
lasting howl and yacller. Just about the
time to drop to sleep-sleep, not much!
but to get up in dishabille to scold and
stone them into some sort of quietude!
say make an ordinance that will take
a. dog at any place you find him, even II
tied under the bed, if untagged, without
reference to pedigree, high or low, rich
or poor ownership. Are dogs more sacred
than people? You take man wherever
found for breaking the law; why except

A Pretty Floral Fancy Display

Nothing can be made faore effective
for a summer wedding or garden party
than a flower screen. The largest ones,
intended for the lawn or veranda, have
for their foundation a large, old-fash-
toned clothes horse, covered tightly with
wire netting. Eli full of greens which
have been in water several hours to
prevent whiting. Vines of various kinds
and any feathery green make a pretty
background, Afterwards insert the
flowers.
Roses or carnation pinks are always
effective, but there are any number of
other flowers which will answer equally
well. Sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansies,
daisies, asters and the lovely fall golden
rod and purple asters are all beautiful.
