SHORT MAN MAKES
 . THE BETTER FIGHTER
This Is Conclusion of Lee turer on Physiology at
 Guys, London

London, February aO-(Correspondcnc of the Associated Press l-The short man makes the better fighter. says pr NJ. S Pembrey. lecturer on physiology at Guys hospital. fin discussion before the Royal Sanitary institute This he bases on a careful study of the fighting ca pacity of tall and short races and also of the tan men and short men of the same race.
 The difference in height between short man and tall man. said pr Pembrev Is due chiefly to the length of leg At the same time. height depends upon the correlated activity of certain glands which produce internal secretions The essential organs in the head and trunk are often better developed in the short than in the tall man, the weight of brain being rela- lively greater in the short man and the reaction time not 50 long. Tall men of full proportions are heavy and slow, an1 there are strong physiological reasons for the greater activity of tae small man. who does not suffer from mechanical dis advantages of height and Weight There- fore. the small man has a greater ca pacity for work and more endurance and is better able to resist disease
 Although giving the verdict to the short man. the doctor warned his hearers Of the danger of rushing to extremes

Sheepdog Saved Mate
n the New York S,1n.

From the New York Sun. Durango, Col--Chfiado, prize winning
 Blue Kenmuir sheep collie imported from Scotland by Rinaldo Martinez, one of the
 wealthiest sheepmen of southern Colorado, disappeared three weeks ago. wide search for the missing dog was started under the direction of experienced guides but was given up two days ago,
 when hope of recovering the valuable ani- mai was abandoned.
 It was observed at the ranch of Marti- neg that Rosita, mother of the famous
 Roslta string of colies, and mate of Chi fiado for two weeks had vanished nightly, remaining away until daybreak. Employees of Martinez followed her one night but lost trace of her in the dark ness.
 night rider guarding the sheep herd of the Archuletta estate near Mount Baldy. three miles from the Martinez
 ranch, saw Rosita crawl stealthily up to the camp mess tent the next night. He watched her. He observed that she leaped a dozen times at the string of "jerked" beef and venison hung in front of the tent. He saw her gather strips of the dried beef in her mouth. which she car-
 ried off, He followed.
 He saw her stop above the opening of
 an abandoned mine shaft mile away and
 drop the beef into the murlSy hole. He investigated. At the bottom of the
 shaft. 20 feet from the surface he dis
 covered Chifado. The dog had fallen into
 the opening. He was brought to the sur
 face apparently none the worse for his
 experience. He had been saved by his
 mate.
 He was returned to the Martinez ranch in the afternoon. Rosita met him. Their greeting touched Martinez and his em-
 ployes. Chiflado smothered his mate with
 canine kisses She returned them. Though
 both are nearly 10 years old, they fol-
 lowed this with playful puppy antics.
