Senator Ashurst, OF Arizona, and
Congressman SABBATH. OF Illinois, both
Roman Catholics. have announced, as
reported In the Washington press. that
they will introduce resolutions against
the "Ritual" trial now going ON in

Dinner Bell Saves Chicago SIeuth From Dog

n HCAGO.-There was q perfectly
- good reason why William Hayes,
. uniformed policeman Of the South
Chicago station. and Matt Mcnamara,
q plain clothes detective, took q shot
gun with them the other day when
they went to serve o warrant on John
Dents, a truck farmer at 106th street
and Bentley avenue. This IL the rea-
son:
Dents owns an enormous Nevfound-
land dog which has all the traits Of q
bulldog, q bloodhound and a mastif
rolled into one. Dents had never pur-
chased a license for the animal, and
the dog catchers ventured no closer
than the echo of its bark. According
iy Capt Morgan Collins of the South
Chicago station handed Mcnamara q
warrant to serve on the owner.
The detective arrived at the farm
house and found nobody home. except
the dog. which was chained in the
front yard. Directing to the intruder.
the canine snapped its chain and
started for Mcnamara. The closest
thing In sight-next to the dog-vas
q high pole, on the top Of which hung
the farm bell. Mcnamara reached
the foot Of the pole in six jumps and
the top In six seconds.
While the dog leaped about the foot
Of the pole, barking and swapping per
ilously close to the detectives up
drawn heels. Mcnamara perspired and
scanned the horizon for a human be-
ing. For more than an hour he chung
there. and the dog finally lay down
and feigned sleep. Every time the
detective would attempt to descend,
however. the animal would be waiting
hungrily.

FROGS HAVE common SENSE
Experiments Made by British Sci.

siderable "oray Matter"

II IL q matter of dispute just to
what extent the actions of animals
are determined by pure unreasoning
instinct. II has been said that frog
will snap at any small moving object.
regardless of its character. and re-
gardless Of hunger or safety.
Some experiments carried out by a
British scientist seem to indicate that
the frog is capable Of greater discrimi-
nation than had been credited to him.
Thus. for example. q frog was offered
hairy caterpillars, which It promptly
seized. and with equal promptness
spit out again. But after about from
four to seven such injudicious at
tempts the frog had learned his les
son. and thereafter refused similar
fare.
In another experiment earthworms
were so connected with a source OF
electricity that the frog received q
shock on touching the worm. The
frog duly devoured the prey. and
showed no signs Of discomfort. How
ever. he refused for seven days to
touch another earthworm, while he
freely devoured other species of
worms.
Similarly, the frog could be taught
to avoid worms on which oil of cloves
or calcium chloride had been spread,
although such "doctored" prey was
not spit out, but was digested
