rounds on Monday and gave warning
to all violations of the ordinance re-
lative to awnings over the sidewalks.

Mourning for Pet Dogs.

Dog funerals are no longer an un.
common thing in New York. Every
day the local office of the dog GENE
terry in Twenty-fifth street has a few
visitors who shed copious tears as
they make arrangements for their
dogs interment And some of the
numerous mourners are willing to pay
large sums to give their favorite pet
a comfortable resting place, even to
the extent of buying tombstones for
them. A ramble through this dog Gem.
etery, which is at Hartsdale, will dis.
close many remarkable instances Of
the devotion of owners to the memo
ries of the animals they loved. Most
of the graves have monuments erected
over them with inscriptions telling of
the good qualities of the pets which
have gone to the happy hunting
grounds" Some of these monuments
are very pretentious affairs and cost
as much as $1,000. The cemetery is
we'll kept and flowers bloom on prac-
t1cally all of the plots.

Sian of Rain.

An East side girl says she has come
upon an infallible weather Indicator,
reports the Columbus CO.. Dispatch.
She could tell If it is going to rain
without even glancing at the sky or
casting her eyes over the weather
forecasts in the daily papers. And
it's the simplest thing in the world
just the disappearing of all UNI
brellas from sight.
Umbrellas are perfectly safe in our
Office up to "a hours before a Storm"
said she, explaining. You can leave
them anywhere. Even the pearl and
gold-handled ones are immune from
abstraction. Indeed, )ne can hardly
chase them away So, if want to
know the weather for a day ahead
| must glance at the umbrella racks.
If | find them becoming empty,
make Decline for the best rain shade
of those that are left and make all
other necessary plans for rain"

Successfully Fiqhts Pneumonia.

The open-air treatment of acute
pneumonia is reported by DR.. G. E
Rennie to have achieved notable sue
cess at the Royal Prince Edward hos
pital of Sydney, Australia. For seven
years Doctor Rennie has kept his own
patients in the open air night and
day, and ~'''+9 recently this plan has
been adopted for all pneumonia cases
in the hospital Recovery has been
rapid in cases that would have re-
suited fatally under the old method
The ordinary conditions of close hos
pital atmosphere are very favorable
for the development of the pneumonia
germs, and besides expose to mi
crobes liable to set up secondary in
lection. The fresh air, comparatively
free from bacteria, gives the more per.
feet aeration of the blood needed The
artificial use of oxygen is rarely nee.
essary as formerly, there Is much less
difficulty of breathing and impairment
of circulation, the patients sleep bet.
ter, the tongue is cleaner, the appetite
is nearer normal and convalescence is
rapid.

Living Whist"


The game of living whist" is a fol-
lower, and most unsatisfactory one,
as a matter of fact, of the game of
living chess" The latter has been
given frequently in out-of-doors fetes.
The ground is marked in squares, like
huge chessboard, and the pieces are
represented by women and men in cos
tunes that indicates their positions
queens, bishops, knights, pawns, etc.
The game is played by the directions
of two persons seated on thrones at
the edge of the board, the pieces maxi
ing the moves indicated by them.
Living whist" followed this scheme,
but by it's nature was far less success
full. The board and squares were lack
ing and the game did not lend itself
to the scheme. OF such a game as
living bridge" or ''living auction, "
however, we can find no record, and
it is most unlikely that such a game
could be played at all, as the bidding,
which is, of course, the real essence
Of these games, would be an impossi-
bility.

Risky Revenge.

Paganini, the wonderful violinist,
had a narrow escape at Ferrara from
a violent death. Enraged by some
kissing from the pit, he resolved to
avenge the insult and at the close OF
his program informed the audience
that he would initiate the language
of various animals. After having
rendered the notes of different birds,
the mewing of cat and and the bark
ing of dog he advanced to the foot
lights and saying, This is for those
who hissed!" initiated the braying of
an ass. At this the occupants of the
pit rose, rushed on to the stage and
would have killed their calumniator
had he not hastily retreated.

Uses Of Coke Growing.

The tremendously increased impor-
lance of by-products of coke ovens
and gas works since the war started
has led to efforts to increase the use
of coke by concerns that heretofore
have used only coal. The government
has led the way by mixing certain
proportions of coke with other fuel
on its railways and in its buildings,
and the manufacturers are following
this example. The coke ovens and
gas works are now depended on to
furnish three vitality important prod
ucts-explosive material, motor fuel
and heterogeneous fertilzer-and it is
deemed imperative tat the production
of these by-products be stimulated by
an increased demand for the coke.

On Monday morning August 2, the
local troop of Scouts went into en-
campment at Seymour lake, in charge
of Scoutmaster Morong. The weather
man was in perfect tune with the
high spirits of the boys, eagerly an
ticipating the good time ahead and
upon arrival at Seymour they found
the beautiful lake so quiet and
serene, yet tapping the sandy beach
with sound most enticing to the
incoming of jubilant youth and its
antics"
Shortly after nine o'clock tents,
provisions and other equipment, in
Guiding the boys, started forth in a
big three-horse team driven by Alec
Goulette.
The camp site was all to be desired;
situated on an elevation at the south
end of the lake and screened in by a
thin growth of trees, and affording
splendid facilities for the pitching of
three sleeping tents, cook tent, supply
tent and dining tent, forming a semi
circle at one end of the clearing,
which was the camp athletic field,
the center of which was the council
fireplace, and nearby stood the large
pole from which swung the ever
protecting American flag. This pole
was 35 foot spruce, chopped, peeled
and brought in'by the boys and set
up ready for their impressive flag
raising as they sang The Star Span
gled Banner followed by camp
yells.
Fir boughs ferns, rubber and
wooden blankets made the "best beds
ever" and at night the first council
meeting was held around the camp
fire. The organization consisted of
the appointment of daily committees
on wood and vegetables; dishes and
water; walters and milk. Lee Parker
was elected scout scribe and George
Quimby manager of the baseball
team, and Clifford Stevens, captain.
One of the most important duties of
this council was the naming of the
camp, in honor of chief scout, Ernest
Thompson Seton, and hereafter the
Island Pond Scout camp. is to be
known as Camp Seton.
The boys eagerly strove in their
athletic feats for the three first
prizes which entitled them to an "S''
on their sweaters; an S stands fol-
Camp Seton, and can also be won by
membership on baseball team, or by
swimming fifty yards.
Following business at the council
fire each evening, camp songs anC
yells closed the day as lights were
put out at 10 o'clock, and all prank.
and glee silenced at 1920.
In athletics the boys worked hare
and on Friday, which was "Fielt
