TAG THE DOG. Frank Burke,
the city dog catcher, is encountering
considerable embarrassment on ac-
count eff the practice of some ..tw-
abiding citizens of buying dog tags
and carrying them in their pockets.
That doesn't help the dogs, Tor the dog
catcher can't see into a mans pocket
and if he could he would have no
means of knowing what dogs the tags
belong to. Mr.. Burke is about to start
on another crusade which he expects
Will result in the capture of every IN
tagged dog in town. He hOpes that
those who have Tags will cease to use
them as pocket pieces or parlor orna-
ments, to the end that their dogs may
not fall innocent victims in the lndls-
criminate onslaught.
