Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
CORPS why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service of the French army? The ad.
vantages Of this innovation have been
set forth at some leIgth by DR.. Biche-
lonne and Capt. Toilet in a volume
which has just been published. 1t Ia
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
That dogs should be taught TO seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
Crleu With success at the time of the
Boer war, and at the battle Of Cha
Ho in the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance

given up for lost.
In 1890, by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training of dogs in war time have been
lormed In Dresden, Cologne, Coburg.

societies have been organized in Hol.

the European countries have turned

time or other except France.
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would

JOKE ON PROFESSOR
UNWITTING VICTIM OF HIS OWN
ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed instructions
and tho Result Was Broken Rest
for the Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof. julius Eichberg,
whose violin school was at one time
one of the post flourishing institu.
lions of Boston, enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by apupil:
Just before the vacation season he
once inquired of a boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin dur:
Ing the summer, 2, y
"Oh, not very much" replied the
youngster
Not very much! How Is that?"
because I want to play and enjoy
myself. There are many other boys
where We go summers"
That's very WELL" answered Eich,
berg, but can you not devote one
hour day to your violin?"
NO, SIR" was the prompt reply.
Half an hour?"
mo, not even that. have no time"
1T is too bad, for you will forget
everything you have learned"
E1chberg stopped q minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
when on your vacaticn?"
Very early, sir-between five and
six"
We'll, that's the best time. Put In
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to dc
80, and teacher and pupil parted on
the best of terms.
A few weeks later, Eichberg was
: peacefully slumbering in one of the
cool rooms Of fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
tnopportunely awakened by the furi
Gus screeching of "a violin just over
his head. r~1e-..c: i
II wonder who the plaguey catgut
scraper is at this hour" grumbled he
as he looked at his watch and was
Mortified to see that 1t was not yet six
! o'clock.
Sleeping late, as was his continental
habit, was altogether out of the ques
tion for Eichberg that morning. for
the outlandish screeching was faith
fully kept up just half an hour, and
then suddenly ceased.
BY that time, however, he had
dressed himself, and having come
| downstairs, was about to enter the
dining room for breakfast together
with the usual early risers when he
was joyously greeted by a boy with
familiar face, who said proudly:
II follow your advice, professor, and
have not missed one morning. Have
Just put in half an hours practice"
II know It," grimly answered Eich
! berg.
Immediately after breakfast he
walked to the desk and asked for an
other room.

SICKNESS INVADES
GIRLS SEMINARY
Score of Young Women Rem
dered Suddenly III With
Ptomaine Symptoms

BERKELEY, Oct 2s-sudden illness
of score of the girl students of the
seminary conducted in Charming way
by Miss Anna Head, caused considerable
alarm Monday morning and yesterday,
and hurry call was sent for DR.. Edith
Brownsill and trained nurse. Three
of the girls, daughters of we'll known
families, were seriously i'll. The other
young women were revived. after treat
ment, although they We're unable to re-
sumo their studies Monday.
DR.. Edith Brownsill and Miss Anna
Head. principal of the school, attribute
the illness to different causes. Accord
ing to Miss Head a sudden change in
the weather last Sunday night was re-
sponsible for the sickness which was
not unlike ptomaine poisoning in its
effects.
Dr. Brownsill, who is a member of
the faculty of the university and house
physician forethe girls school, said that
something that the young women had
eaten evidently did not agree. with
them. DR.. Brownsill declared today that
there had been no danger, at any time,
although she admitted that in the cases
of the three young women there was
cause for fear of developments.
There was really no serious trouble .
said Dr. Brownsill. THE girls probably
ate something that didn't agree with
them and they were taken sick. / was
called to the school and brought a
trained nurse to relieve the house keep
er who had been up all night caring for
the young women. But all danger is
now passed. All talk of ptomafne pois-
oning is foolishness.

Great Difficulty
Portions of Grill Work Removed

DiSturbers
Man RenewS Fur0re by Boldly
Demanding Relief for the
Unemployed

LONDON, Oct. 28.-Suffragette
disturbances have driven the police to
the unusual course of temporarily
closing the strangers and ladies' gal
leries in the house of commons. This
was annouced by the speaker in re-
sponse to a question from Premier
Asquith and Balfour, the leader of the
opposition, as parliament was ad-
journing tonight.
During the evening, while the house
was discussing the license bill, SEN
sation was caused by the display of a
placard and sudden shrlll cries from
the ladies' gallery. demanding votes
for women, while simultaneously a
bundle of handbills fluttered down from
the strangers gallery at the opposite
end OF the chamber and a man shouted
protests, Justice to women
Attendants hurried to the galleries
and the male offender was unceremoni-
ously elected, but at the ladies' gal
leries sounds were heard of a desperate
struggle.
WOMEN CHAINED TO RAIL
Two suffragettes had firmly chained
themselves TO the rail and resisted FOL
time all efforts at removal.
The scene was watched with amaze
ment from the floor of the house and
finally the suffragettes were dragged
from their posts. but only after por-
tions of the grill We're removed with
them.
Ten minutes later there was another
dramatic scene, a man in the strangers
gallery throwing another bundle OF
bills down upon the house and shout
ing: why don't you give women votes
and relieve the unemployed?'
Attendants rushed upon him. but he
resisted fiercely an attempt TO carry
him bodily from the gallery. After g
desperate struggle the attendants sue
ceeded in ejecting the man. About the
same time a large crowd of suffragettes
made a demonstration outside the par
lament building and Is were arrested
CHAINS ARE FILED OFF
The removal of two militant suf-
fragettes presented a comical scene tc
those in the corridors. Both of the
offenders were laughing heartily when
they were escorted by posse of police
men. one of the officers carrying that
portion of the grill to which the women
were chained. They were conducted
into a committee room and workmer
were summoned to file off the chains
which were securely padlocked around
the womens waists.
1t was found that the chains had
been carefully padded to prevent noise
and betrayal when the suffragettes en-
tered the ladies' gallery. The demon
stration had been planned beforehand
with great secrecy. One band was &c

ASSERTS "MARRIAGE is
THE SUICIDE OF LOVE-
Professor Monroe Refers to AT.
finities and Says Marriage
Is Becoming a Farce
SPECIAL DISPATCH no THE CAL

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-'Marriage is the
suicide of love-" said Prof. Edward D.
Monroe, Ph.D., of Leland Stanford uni
versity this evening before the Woman S
literary club of Woodlawn.
The increasing number of divorces
each year in America seems to substan-
tiate this conclusion said the profess
sor. further
In the first place, marriage is en-
tered upon by thousands of foolish and
frivolous girls and thoughtless young
men, without the least consideration of
the question of mutual adaptability or
of congeniality.
Before long, sooner than expected,
there appears on the horizon of loves
young dream the dreaded affinity and
most of you realize what that implies.
1t signifies that the bonds of matrimony
will ere long be ruthlessly shattered
and wind up in a blaze of glory in the
divorce courts.
The divorce courts are rushed to
death with the vast amount of domestic
troubles that await the pleasure of the
law
1T appears that marriage in this
country is becoming more and more a
farce in other words, a complete fail
ure. IN no other country is divorce half
so prevalent The remedy for this
grave evil, which the church and the
state are so severe in condemning, lies
in the question that every couple
contemplating marriage should con-
slider, and that is the question of adap-
liability and congeniality.
None should marry unless true love
and perfect knowledge of the temper
amental traits are thoroughly under
stood. A mere passing whim or ro-
mantle affection is generally the basis
of the majority of marriages among
the younger generation in America
