4 HISTORY OF
The POLICE DOGS
Federal. Pamphlet Recounts
Their Marvellous Work in
Europe.
Recounts
Work in

Inc 0tllxat1On OF dogs as guardians
Of peace and in the detection of GRIM
Illustrated monograph entitled Police
and Work Dogs" Issued by the Wash
lngtOn Bureau Of Manufactures. The
information was gathered by Consul
General Diederich at Antwerp, and
Consul Johnson at Liege, and tells OF
methods of training, service performed
and dogs as draft animals.
There are in Germany almost 500 po-
lie departments that keep dogs for as
s%istants, and the common council OF
Paris is discussing the advisability Of
spending about $500 per annum for
the further developing of the police
dog system.
Wonderful feats accomplished by the
Belgian shepherd dog are strikingly
shown. This animal is required to un-
dergo a long training for attack, de-
tense and scouting. While these as:-
complishments are rather difficult for
q brute to master, yet 1t Is claimed
that several animals, which came up
Tor civil service examination, won di.
plomas after having shown themselves
capable OF going through the training
lessons with remarkable accuracy and
intelligence.
The service OF the police dog in Eu-
rope includes guarding any given OBJ.
Ject in the absence of its master when
suddenly attacked, tracing individuals,
making known hiding places by bark.
Ing. without biting, and keeping in
dividuah at bay until the arrival OF
Its master; If flight Is attempted the
dog must attack and follow the indi.
vidual through q house If necessary.
The persistence with which the Bel
CLAN shepherd dog will stand by his
master is worthy Of note. When any
one passes the policeman. the dog,
Hhn110h voNl1N~- go 1911 A-----x---
ton, Will at once regard him with
marked disfavor. When, IN the other
hand, a mar pretends to strike the pc.
liceman, the dog becomes savage and
leaps at the throat Of the aggressor
with great fury. Though prevented by
the muscles from Selling such agrees
sors, they will throw themselves
against the chest with sufficient force
to knock down the strongest man. A
sO-pound dog, we'll trained, can easily
throw q powerful man while on the
run. The dogs run into alleys, behind
houses and o%utbuildings, and into the
thousand and one places where a thief
may be in hiding.
Police dogs are also being used at
Rotterdam n In about 80 towns in
Belgium, and Of these the city Of
Client has been most successful in
training and employing them. Great
ainiculty was experienced in selecting
the animal best adapted to such sery-
tee, but the Belgian shepherd dog final
y was chosen. He was found to be
the most intelligent, possessed Of re-
markable qualities OF endurance, an ex-
ceilent watch dog, active and possessed
of dauntlees courage.
It is declared tina no matter how
well trained police dogs may be, they
:an be Of only little practical use in
The heart Of large cities or densely
populated quarters, but the best re-
suits are obtained In suburban districts
or rural sections, where night watch-
men patrol q large terrttorY.

Sky Houseboat Wanted.

Build me a houseboat, please,
To sail in the upper air;
In the skies 1 could take my ease
There would be no neighbor there!
Build me a houseboat. pray,

I would go where there's naught to pay
Where no weekly bills come due.
I could sit at my humble door
And gaze on the vast expanse:
There would be no sounds galore,
No sights hat would vex my glance.
There would be no pianos strum,
No photograph loud and shrill,
And the beggar would never come
To stand on my lonely sill.
I could drop to the earth by night
And fill up my larder quick,
Then rapidly take my flight
Where the cloudbanks are p1ling thick
Build me a houseboat, do!
I would dwell in the realm on high.
This planet may do for you.
But for quiet and peace I sigh.

The Same, But Different.

From the New York Times.
Most lawyers a k a keen delight trying
to confuse medical experts in the witness
box in murder trials, and often they get
paid back in their own coin. A case is
recalled where the lawyer, after exercis-
ing all his tangling tactics without eff
feet, looked quizzically at the doctor who
was testifying and said:
"You viii admit that doctors some
make mistakes. won't you?"
ooh, yes, the same as lawyers" was the
COO reply.
.And doctors mistakes are buried Elk
feet under ground" was the lawyers tri-
umphant reply.
"Yes," he replied, and lawyers mis-
takes often swing in the air."
