SAUSAGES UTILIZED TO
EASE FURY OF MADDOG
Frothng Beast Terrorizes Milwaukee Saloon
Until Placated with Frankfurters

ing-the more so because his gun was
unloaded-and the dog was bowling
seriously between gulps of sausages
just outside. The proprietor had car
red the hot dogs" from the barroom
in a basket. The dog caught the frsG
sausage on the bounce. 1t tasted good
and he leaped playfully into the air
He managed to catch the second sau-
sage before it touched the ground. A
third he had and a fourth and then
they We're dropping about him like
rain.
When Policeman Alfred Ribs arrived
on the scene he found the whole neigh
borhood scared. He was warned that
the situation was desperate.
Officer Ribs, prowling through the
downstairs, followed by the frightened
employees, found a barricade Of chairs
against the inside entrance doors
These had been piled up after the ami
NAL had run out.
Ribs pulled away the barricade, de-
spite the warnings of his assistants
and peeped through the storm doors
gun in hand, finger on trigger. For
an instant he had a bead on the ami
mails head. There was a shot and tne
dog was writhing on the ground on his
back. E.
All this however, does not pay fol
about a dollars worth of high class
hot dogs" that were wasted.

NILWA CKEE, Dec. 25.-Frankfur-
ter and wieuerwursts yesterday after
noon, coupled with the presence of
mind of the proprietor, saved the day
for THE Hotel Schwobthaler, 1720 East
Chio street North Side, when the hos
taiIjy was uT AIDED by a mad dog. That
10 F}auie f1.uwed the entry of the un-
Haaden guest is putting it very mildly.
Frenzy would be better word. All
the guest, particularly those at the
bar made for the street at once. only
the proprietor remained behind. Like
the captain of a doomed ship, he waited
bravely until all others had escaped
Only he and the mad dog remained on
the scene. The proprietor took one
glance at the dog and then he, too
made for elsewhere.
After emptying the barroom, the dog
wandered out into the back yard. The
scheme then was to keep hi mthere until
a policeman could arrive and do his
duty. And so-dropped from second
story window at just the opportune
moment, the savory frankfurters and
wienerwursts were seized upon eagerly
by the frothing animal, distracttng his
attention and reassuring the people c1
the neighborhood This, however, did
not lessen the critical situation of the
proprietor of the hotel. He was ma
rooned on the second floor of his build

ARMY SURGEONS OPPOSE
NEW UNIFORM IN TROPICS
OIiye-Drab Raiment Declared to
Be Injurious to
Health

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-After years
of experiments, having evolved in the
oliye-drab uniform what appeared the
ideal raiment for troops in all climates
but especially in the tropics, the army
uuartermasters are now CONFRONTED
with a report made to the surgeon
general by the army board for the
study of tropical diseases, showing that
the fabric is not a good one for use IN
time of peace.
1t is true that the olive-drab is more
nearly invisible than any other color;
that it stands better the bleaching Ell
fects of the tropical sun and that II
is more agreeable than the khaki Whlch
it replaced. -,
But the army surgeons, after expert
ments in the Philippines, say that the
khaki is much cooler, although not
nearly so cool as white drilling (Whlcn
is not suitable for garrison use). ANY
of the four changes to be made in the
uniform, the surgeons says, should DC
in the direction of a lighter shade
rather than a darker one.

CAPONI PUTS IN
BUSY CHRISTMAS
BurIy Chicabo Scrapper Performs
Before Big Crowd of Fans
at Arcadia Headquarters

Tony Caponi, who is to meet Jim
Flynn i'm a twenty round bout at YER
non a week from tomorrow afternoon,
did just as much work Christmas day
as on any of the preceding days. Co
ing on the road in the early part of the
morning and in the afternoon appear
ing before a big gathering OF supuf-
banites at Arcadia and doing all OF
his regular training stunts, the Chicago
scrapper wound up with four hot
rounds with the mitts, Morie Bloom
acting as sparring partner.
CapOni has taken off five pounds
since he arrived in Los Angeles, and
in spite OF his wish to appear as heavy
as possible when he enters the ring, he
does not believe he will move the beam
when placed at the 165 mark.
Jim Flynn, after morning run
through the environs of Vernon, did
little in the way of training, five min
utes with the bag in the ring at Doyle s
and a little handball sufficing for the
day Jim has had trouble in keeping
sparring aides on account of the rough
style he adopts while in the ring, and
the dearth yesterday made him cut out
the glove work. Flynn declares he is
in splendid shape and he hopes to prove
to the doubling ones that the lacing
received from the hands of sam Lang
ford had no lasting effect.
Young Rivers, who will meet Billy
Cappelle In the semi-windup on the
afternoon of the Flynn-Caponi contest I
worked out at Doyle's yesterday, plat
ting in an hour and boxing five rounds
with Eddie Russell. Cappelle at Sar
Pedro boxed six rounds with Kid ArcJ
and appeared to be in great condition
after his hours work in,the ring. Cap
pelle believes this is the gold en- oppor-
tunity he has been looking for, as ht
has been anxious to get on with Rivers
ever since they last met over the ten.
round course. Billy thinks the fifteen.
session contest will be to his advan
tage and that he will he able to do his

AUTOMOBILE CLUBS SHOULD
WATCH ROAD EXPENDITURE

II every automobile club had COM
petent committee on good roads, and
that committee was charged with the
duty of determining the best construc-
tion in road making in that particular
locality; the materials most suitable
and economical both for construction
and maintenance, and if that commit
tee did it's work properly and placed
the results fairly and squarely before
the club, in a manner to impress each
and every member, would not much be
gained?
That committee could readily deter
mine whether crushed stone or gravel,
or other material would produce the
best results for tho money; whether for
that particular locality a tar surface,
or an asphalt oil surface or an oiled
sand surface was most applicable;
whether the county or township en-
gineer was getting the best results for
= the expenditure; whether the construc-
tion was of a permanent nature; and
all the various matters which make for
a more thorough knowledge of the sub
ject Then the club by the force of its
organi,- ,tion, could rectify whatever
wrongs were being committed, and
could take steps to see that the money
appropriated for the construction and
maintenance of the highways, should
bring it's full value in effectiveness.
Through it all it must be borne in
mind that the users of the road must
in great measure pay for its improve
ment. Modern traffic, as between
motor-driven and horse-drawn, will ul-
timately reach a dividing line in the
taxation for road maintenance. 1t will
be well, therefore, to -.'iden, to as great
an extent and at as early date as
possible, the knowledge of the essential
principles of road improvement.
That this Is up to the automobile
clubs seems without question. The
clubs, working with farmers associa-
tions. commercial clubs, boards of
trade and other organizations, can per-
form a great work; can cause more
and better roads to be constructed, and
in a shorter space of time, than any
other force now known.
Everybody uses the road, and every
bodv should contribute to the expense
of it's construction and maintenance
Automobilists have no desire, as a gen.
eral rule to avoid paying their just
nroportion of the expense. 1t must be
remembered license laws are being
made every year, in large number OF
states. and that favorable legislation
NAV materially advance the extension
of Improved highways

FOUR BIG AUTO SHOWS
IN NEW YORK THIS YEAR

Greater New York will be the scene
of four automobile exhibitions this win
ter instead of three. The motorcar
dealers in Brooklyn have decided that
they will no longer look upon Manhat-
tan as being the exclusive show center
in the big city, and arrangements nave
been made for the holding of an eX-
hibition in the Twenty-third regiment
armory in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn
during the week of February 1S to 20.
The Brooklyn Motor Vehicle Dealers
association is back of the affair, which
is being managed by a. man who has
had considerable experience promoting
similar shows throughout the country
The forthcoming show will be the
first of it's kind held in the City or
Churches despite the fact that many
cities with smaller populations ana To-
Gated in vastly inferior sections, from
car selling standpoint, nave been the
scenes of successful motorcar eXhlol-
tions. Careful consideration was taken
in selecting the dates so that they
would not conflict with shows held in
other cities. February Is to 20 was de-
cided upOn because it came between
the national show at Chicago and the
exhibition in Boston. The former ENDS
on February II and the latter begins on
March 4. A show is scheduled to be
leld IN NeWStlhs ~. d., Oui his IiiS oSeh' =
week as the Brooklyn exhibition, but
the promoters of the latter affair don't
believe the New Jersey eyent will con-
flict with theirs,
The Brooklyn dealers declare that
there are enough prospective automo-
bile purchasers on Long Island to make
show i'm their city a paying PROPOSE
ton. They argue that a man living
in Brooklyn or on Long Island would
,,rafay, ri visit a diSnlaV in the vicinity
of his home rather than to have to
travel to New York where he would
have to contend with the crowds, etc.
The cars handled by the Brooklyn men
are representative enough for a pros
pectiv buyer having his choice of from
the lowest to the highest priced on the
market
