the new Prussian budget makes a first
appropriation of s6.750. The German
opinion Is that the most easily edu-
Gated and the most suitable dogs for
police work are the German native
sheep dog and the English Airedale
terrier.
One Of the largest and most power
ful breeds, and a national dog OF Ger
many. the Great Dane or German
boarhound. has been tried. but without
success. II Is deficient In scenting
abilities, and as 1t is very excitable
1t is liable to get out Of hand, and be-
cause Of its size and strength become
more dangerous than useful.
The training Of police dogs is thor
oughly carried out in Germany. The
German police oficer is supplied with
q form In which to record particulars
Of the tracking work done by his
charge. Details of the weather. The
nature Of the ground and the charac-
ter Of the dogs worth are to be sup
piled. while the quantity and kind OF
food given 10 the dog and the circum-
stances under which the animal can
best do its work are all to be noted.
Records Of failures as well as reports
Of successes are to be written down.

When Jackson walks, the earth lit

years his clothes have been made to

expanse of cloth required to cover his
enormous body, the cheapest kind Of

Were he to sit down in an ordinary

feet are shoes constructed Of the

Jackson is Gargantuan. Except for his

NORMAL MIND WITH BIG FEET
That 10 Condition Found in France,
While Exact Deposits Is True a.
Applied to Women.

Paris.-That the majority OF nor
NAL minded men have big feet and
most normal minded women small feet
is the latest scientific discovery an
nounced 10 the world by the Paris
Academy of Sciences. 1t emanates
from Prof. MacAuliffe and Marie. who
for several months have been meas
uring the feet of French people in all
walks of life.
They found that only eighteen out
Of every hundred soldiers were small
footed and only twenty-four of every
hundred weak minded men big footed.
On the other hand, they found that
only twenty-three of every hundred
normal women were large footed.
while only eighteen of hundred weak
witted women were small footed.
This Is considered to confirm the
ancient theory that woman Is mans
equal. for the reason that she is his
exact opposite.

ROOSEVELT LUNCHEON
ON ROOF OF Y. N. C. A.
Mayor is Authorized TO Proclaim
March 20 a Holiday in
Phoenix

Much progress was made yesterday
in arranging for the reception of
Colonel Roosevelt on March 20 The
city council authorized the mayor To
proclaim that day a holiday and also
ordered a stand erected i'm front Of the
city hail, similar to the one used when
President Taft was here. Tentative
arrangements were made To hold the
luncheon To Col. Roosevelt on the roof
garden of the Y. NJ. &. \. building.
Some days ago the Water Users As
SoCiatiOn asked Mayor ChriSty To- pro-
claim March 20 a holiday in Phoenix
After the council purchased q sewer
system yesterday afternoon the request
was submitted by the mayor To- that
body and a resolution giving him the
necessary permission was unanimously
passed.
The committee in charge Of the plaza
reception met yesterday afternoon at
the office of Coz. James II McClintock,
its chairman. 1t was decided to re
quest the council To erect a wooden
stand in front Of the city hall at NUM-
cipal expense. and under the direction
OF Councilman Claude Cisnev The
request was granted by the council,
though Mr. Cisney was absent
a meeting was held by the lunch
committee at the board Of trade.
Chairman r. Z. Burmister, Roy 5.
Goodrich. J. Fred CleaveIand. 5. Ober-
fielder and /. II. Chalmers were present.
1t was decided to request the citizens
Of Phoenix To furnish flowers for the
luncheon and to refer the matter Of
music to Col. McClintock When the
question if a place to hold the lunch
con came up. the board OF trade and
Y. NJ &. \. were discussed. Finally
the committee tentatively decided to
request the use of the roof garden and
adjourned TO make an inspection of the
place No formal request for the use
of the roof garden has yet been made
but one will be made unless there is
a change in plans. Some fear is felt
that it will be too warm on the roof
garden but the committee plans to
have wires strung across ami loaded
with decorations, SO as to furnish much
shade.
About 200 persons will be invited to
the luncheon. Requests for tickets
should be made to the Water Users

Would he be successful i'm his heroic

by the danger of his situation, which
was growing more perilous with every
moment, he took hold of the box with
his left hand motioning every one to
stand aside with his other with which
he had been curling his mustache a

doorway. At this instant the guests
stood breathless. Such heroism had
never before been Witnessed. The
