ARMY HORSES SUFFER.
Lack Of Veterinarians in the Philip
pines Because Of Small Pay.

Horses belonging to the quartermaster
and other departments Of the army IN
the Philippines. except cavalry and ar
tillery, are suffering from lack OF at
tention from veterinarians, and the quar-
termaster general describes the condiflon
as both inhuman and wasteful."
The trouble is due, the Secretary OF
War explains in q letter to the controller
of the Treasury. to the fact that veteri-
narians will not accept employment In
the Philippines at 500 per month. The
existing law limits the salaries to the
figure. Veterinarians for the cavalry
and artillery service are paid much bet
ter. The controller rules that the law
Is express in its limitations and that
higher salaries cannot be paid.

USE OF A1RSHIPS IN WAR.
Oranges, Representing Bombs, Drop
ped on Representations of Vessels.

NEW YORK, August S.-The theoret-
ical destruction of imaginary battleships
and submarines continued yesterday at
Mineola, L. l., with great slaughter. Cliff
ford B. Harmon, the aviator. circled twice
above the outlines painted on the avia-
ton field to represent a man-o'-war and
two submarines, dropping oranges from q
height of about $50 feet. In all the man
o'-war was hit eight times.
Naval officers have held that 1t would
be impossible to drop bombs with &C.
curacy from a height at which the aero
plane would be out Of rifle fire, inasmuch
as intervening air currents would be sure
to defect any missile, however truly
aimed. Harmon never got high enough
to prove or disproye this contention.

Urge to Make Tests.

Any one desiring to put to the test Miss
Thomas theories concerning the influence
of thought upon dogs is urged to try a
few experiments. II, for instance. you
see a bull terrier about to fondly grasp
the calf of your leg in its teeth when
you are on your way home this evening,
do not kick him off and mutter "get
away. you double-dashed cur" Instead
It would be we'll to stand erect, maintain
ing an air Of quiet dignity. Look up into
the sky and think of something sweet
and altruistic. Say to yourself again and
again-if you have time:
How beautiful is nature-how sweet
the song Of yonder bird-hOw dear to me
are all the birds and flowers and dogs"
If this doesn't work it would be we'll to
get the wound cauterized at the nearest
drug store.

clerks Office and withdrew the charge she
had preferred against him.

fifth precinct Saturday afternoon. He
was detained until this morning, when

from the room on the second floor a
better guarded place is being prepared
in the basement Of the building and the
adult prisoners would have been placed
there this morning had the humidity not
been so great.
