The head is an essential point of beauty
and a good head will atone for many
weaknesses i'll other directions. 1t should
be long and ''clean"-that is, free from
loose skin or bulginess. The skull should
be Hat and lie In the same plane with tho
nose. Any depression. or STOP" as 1t IL
called. between skull and nose is q bad
defect.
The eyes should be small, dark. sunken
and full Of intelligence.
What dog fanciers call a Dudley noce"
Il. e.. a flesh or partly flesh colored nose
IS a very bad point. The nostrils must
also be black. When born a puppy's nos
tr1is are flesh colored. but black spots ap-
pear within a few days and at the end OF
a few weeks the nostrils should be like
the nose. entirely black.
Prick" tulip or rose ears are bad
faults. The ears should be small. thin.
V-shaped. and carried forward, close to
the cheek, and not at the side of It. like
those of q foxhound.
For the rest. the chest should be deem.
but narrow. the back short. the forelegs
straight and full Of bone. the hind legs
muscular and the feet small and catlike.
Even In the smooth haired fox terrier the
coat should be close. hard, dense and
abundant. while the under part of the
body should be we'll covered with hair.
The locked tail should be carried gay
ly. but never over the back.

FOX TERRIER is
E%vERBYBODY'S DOG

From Answers. London.

From Answers. London.
The fox terrier Is e~verybody's dog. He
is a mans dog. for his unfinching game
ness. his sporting instincts and powers.
his hardness. and his companionabieness.
A fox terrier and a br.ar pipe rave made
many confirmed bachelors.
Women love him for his manly quail
ties. his cleanliness. and his gayety tenn
pered with docility.
He is a boys dog. because. unless actu-
ally on his death-bcd. ne is always ready
for a lark. learns tricks readily. and Is
wonderfully sympathetic when his young
master Is in hot water.
The fox terrier is further e~yerybody's
dog in that he Is cheap. You can get
a pup with a hit of blood in him for S,
while for half that sum. or even less, you
can buy a "fox.e" that you need not be
ashamed to be seen with in the street.
There are. Of course two varieties OF
fox terrier-the smooth haired and the
rough, or wire coated. Bar the coat. their
points" are practically the same. and
there is nothing to choose between them
as regards pluck. gayety and other low
able characteristics.
The public prefers the smOoth-haired
fox terrier. for he is much easier to keep
clean and smart-looking. Sportsmen. on
the other hand. favor the wire haired va
riety. for his tough coat protects him
from bites. scratches. and other injuries.
and also prevents his catching cold when
he gets wet. But really one is as good as
the other.
Without going into all the show points
of the breed. here are some points to bear
in mind when buying q fox terrier. Above
all things. he must be full Of life. A dog
may be technically perfect in formation
head. bone. etc.-bu unless he looks a. II
he enjoyed every mi of his existence
AS he generally ~does-unless no moves as
II on india rubber springs. and unless his
eyes almost speak with alert inteili-

Kansas City. Dec 6--The adoption
, of commission government at lola,
Kan, has resulted in the Standard
zation Of municipal affairs and in
creased the efficiency Of public Off
Gals according TO c. c Glynn, COM
missioner of public utilities there, who
Is in Kansas City
The efficiency IN Iola's government
has cut the cost of operation exactly
Sass per capita OF population each
year. with d JtaI saving OF $4,000 an
nuaIIy.' he said 1t mas eliminated
waste and friction in all departments
SO that each citizen pays Il cents a
year for the maintenance and cleaning
OF streets and 80 cents year for fire
and police protection"
City Owns Its Utilities
lola owns It's gas. electric and wa
ter utilities Through the STANDARDIZED
ton, eIecLr1city Is sold TO the resident
consumer at four cents a kIOwatt
hour and two cents per kiIowaJt hour
Tor the big Industrial consumer, be-
SIDES furnishing street hghJs free
The cost of gas has been reduced to
IS cents per thousand feet, and the
supply is said to be adequate
These results were brought about
by an engineering department of two
men," ne said Overhead costs, fixed
charges per capita investments in the
utilities operation and depreciation
costs were figured TO the exact deci-
NAL point Seemingly necessary ma
terial found to be needless was cut
out Stop watches were used and il
was discovered just how much time
was necessary for each operation in
every department OF the citys work
Thus was higher efficiency promoted
and useless workers weeded from the
city paid gangs
Now lola can tell exactly what il
costs 70 remove a cubic yard Of street
dirt, the digging Of foot Of trenches.

The Merit System a Success
The result is that the political
spoils seeker has been ousted from
lola Employees keep their positions
only under the srricteSt merit system
And as the control Of all city depart
ments is vested absolutely in three
commissioners, civic problems and
business are met and treated Efficient
ly and without loss or the contamina-

Our present civic government would
have been impossible under the Old
system. City councillors cannot con-
duct a city efficiently and as a bust

conditions as does one who gives his
entire time to a ctty's problems"
