LOVE FOR GUARDIAN
DOG PROMPTS ACT
OF GREAT HEROISM
CHILDREN'S PET CANINE RES
CUED FROM FLAMES
Head of Family lmperiIs His Life to
Save Faithful Collie and Is
Himself Burned
Seriously

Fondness for a highly bred Scotch
collie dog, which for nearly year
has been the daily companion and
guardian of his two little children, re-
suited Sunday evening in the unsual
act of heroism on the part of Robert
Saults, 617 San Julian avenue, which
temporarily has crippled him.
Saults says he did nothing out of the
ordinary, but this statement is refuted
by the facts that his left hand and
the back of his neck are swathed in
bandages as result of the burns he
received in preventing his children S
dog from perishing in the flames which,
about o'clock Sunday evening, We're
destroying a stable and workshop IN
the rear of his home.
Mr.. Saults and his family were
aroused by cries of fire which were
heard emanating from the street and
found the stable and workshop was
ablaze The building is of wood and
was burning fiercely by the time Mr..
Saults reached it.
Naturally, his first thoughts were of
the Scotch collie, which had lived
with his family for nearly a year and
which was in the burning building and,
like other animals under similar cir
cumstances, so terribly was frightened
it could not make an attempt to escape
from its perilous situation.
Is an Extraordinary Doc
Had the animal been just an ordi-
nary dog for which no sentiment eX-
listed, Mr.. Saults might not havt en-
dangered his personal safety to the
extent he did. But with the collie's

STREET LIGHTING TO BE
DONE AT SAME OLD PRICE
Company That owns All the Power
Conduits Submits Solitary Bid
and Will Share Its
Profits

The contract for lighting the city
streets was let to the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company yesterday by the
board of public works. This company
was the only one that submitted bid,
because it owns all the power conduits
running through the city streets.
The power will be furnished by the
Pacific Light and Power company to
the Los Angeles company, and both
concerns will share in the profits. Tie
price asked is $3.50 a month a light.
This is the same price the city has
been paying for the last year.
The bid was accompanied by one of
the largest certified checks Horace B.
Ferris, secretary of the board of pub
lie works, has had to handle. The
amount was S1O.791.90. Usually as large
a sum as this is covered by a bidder

City Council viii Meet Today and

Instead of the usual Monday hustle
with which frequenters of the city hall
are familiar the seat of municipal gov

calm. This was due to the fact that
council meetings have been changed
from Monday afternoons to Tuesday
mornings. The council will meet this
morning and transact the regular BUSH

There is little of Importance to come

the entire session can be concluded in

life at stake there could be no hesita-
ton.
1t is an extraordinary dog. The son
of a famous prize winner and with a
long lineage of good blood, 1t has
demonstrated an almost human intel
ligence from the day it was puppy
and since it has been a part of the
Saults' household has won a place in
the hearts of the father and mother
of the little Saults children that IS
considerably deeper than that which
some children occupy in the affections
OF their parents.
Ever since the Saults children have
been creeping tots, the collie has been
their self-appointed guardian and de-
fender, and an attempt by anyone to
injure or to interfere with either of the
children would have resulted in an at
tack on the offending person by the
collie.
The love of the dog for the children
seems human in its strength to a re-
markable degree, and the little ones
hold for the collie a similar strong af-
fection.
Dogs lmpartiality Tested
On many occasions the love and its
impartial bestowal between child and
child often has been tested by inducing
the children to engage in friendly
encounter on the floor, IN Oruer 10
study the actions of the dog. Inva-
riably the collie would begin blowing
its nose between the scuff1ing children
much as a referee does with his hands
in separating two combatants in a
prize ring, until he had been able to
walk undisputed between them, after
which he would continue to stand be-
tween them in order the scuftie might
not be continued.
On other occasions the dog-which,
by the way, never has bitten anyone
or anything-whenev he scented dan
ger from any source to the children.
as quick as a flash would place himself
between the menacing object and the
children until all danger had ceased.
The peril may have been entirely
imaginary on the part of the collie, but
he did not weigh technicalities. The
danger might have been offered by
playmate whom the collie might not
have seen before: and, until the rela-
lions of the strange playmate had been
made known sufficiently well to satisfy
the collie. there was little done in the
lire of play

FRANCE UNDER PRESSURE.
Her People Suffering From Increased
Cost of Necessafies of Life.

France stands alarmed by an in
crease of something like 10 per cent
in four years in, the cost. of food,
clothing and other necessary sup
plies. Milk is 10 per cent higher,
meat % per cent. cheese 16 per
cent, oil 25 per cent. The price of
rice has doubled. Rents follow the
upward trend. Such increases are
Of heavy import in Paris. where the
income OF the average household Is
but $3.50 a year, and where in many
cases the combined earnings of sew
eral workers in a home fail to reach
that sum. Speaking in terms of the
nation at large, the increased cost
of living falls upon a people already
more heavily taxed than any other
in the world. To the employers
liability act, to the weekly day OF
rest law and to other measures af-
fecting industrial returns some de-
gree of responsibility is attributed
for the present high prices. The
fear is expressed that the coming in
of old-age pensions will cause a fur
ther rise. But these laws which
bring fresh burdens bring also ap-
preciable good to the people. The
