No More Postage Stamps?

Collectors of postage stamps will be in-
terested in proposal to adopt the New
Zealand system and abolish the Use of
postage stamps altogether. If this is
done the value OF many stamps now in
the hands of collectors will soar amaz-
ingly.
The plan suggested is that instead of
laying In supply Of postage stamps, or
buying one or two at a time. you have
a stamp meter installed in your office
or home. A letter TO be mailed Is inserted
In the meter and rubber-stamped with an
official mark which serves the purpose of
an ordinary postage stamp. The meter
records the number of letters stamped
In this way. and when the government
agent comes to-read the meter he collects
for the number of stamps in the machine.
The use of envelopes with a printed
stamp in ordinary black type ON the up
per right hand corner, instead of the
colored adhesive stamp, has already ap-
peared in this country, especially among
large business houses.

Germs Wear Out Clothes
he New York American.

From the New York American.
1t is not always easy to realize that the
greater part of the damage that is done
by dirt is due to minute plants called
bacteria. 1t is frequently urged that the
acid of Precipitation rots clothing, but this
Is only partly true. The real destruction
comes from the fact that the grease from
the fat glands of the skin. together with
the perspiration, being rubbed off on the
clothing, forms a fertile soil in which
these microscopic bacteria flourish
II SO happens that many of these are
acid bearing bacteria, and. as is well
known, some of these develop powerful
acids. Such bacteria transforms sweet
milk into sour milk and wine into vine
gar. Clothing is spun from fiber, either
animal, such as silk or wool, or vegetable,
such as linen or cotton. These acids cal

The Best Dog Detective

Major Richardson, a British army OIL
Ger who lives at Harrow, has had re-
markable success in training dogs for po-
lice and war purposes He uses Airedale
terriers exclusively, having found that
this game, hardy, wlre-nalred breed, the
largest of the terriers, is hest adapted for
work which requires pluck, activity and
high degree of intelligence
The German army is training Airedales
for scouting and finding dead and wound
ed soldiers, having abandoned the effort
to train a long-haired native breed OF
larger size.
The latest achievement of one Of Major
Richardson's Airedales has been reported
from Singapore. Jack, the hero of the
exploit. was bred and trained by him and
sold to the Singapore police.
When the detective station there got
word that a Chinese serving a life sem
tence in the local prison had escaped
Jack was assigned to the case. 1t was
two hours after the Chinese had got
away that Jack reached the prison. He
took up the scent at once and ran the man
down In jungle.
This was a remarkable exhibition of
seeming powers for a terrier. but the
Alredae enthusiasts say that this breed
can be utilized for a greater variety Of
field sports than any other dog.
In the Jackson Hole country, In Wyo-
ming, there is a pack of Airedaies used
for hunting bears, and In the southern
states the Airedale Is used for the ex-
citing night sports of freeing the wary
coon 1t has been asserted even that the
Airedae makes a good bird dog.
This remarkable breed is a cross be-
tween the other hound, splendid water
dog, and the old fashioned skye terrier.
Bench shows did not recognize the Aire-
dale as n separate breed until within
comparatively recent years, and the breed
was practically unknown 40 years ago.
He is an outstanding, long-legged fellow
resembling the Iris hterrier in conforma-
ton. but much taller ana heavier, and Is
distinguished by Saddle or blanket that
runs In shade from grizzle to black and
contrasts strongly with the tan that COW
ers the rest of the body and the head
and legs.
The New York police have some trained
Alredales, and police in German and
Austrian cities have made purchases from
Major Richardson's kennels recently.

Why All Stood in the Water

when benevoently inclined, would hire
him to decorate our walls with rural
scenes, highly colored in glaring tints, IS
If nature had turned color blind. There
were cows in every scene, and Aunt Mile
noticed that all the cows were up to their
knees in water. Not one stood clear on
the vivid green hills.
