NEW YORK. July 24-The pug
dog, SO dear to the grande DANES OF
Fifth avenue in the days of low-necked
hacks has passed. Does anybody Know
where single pug1et can be found!
Living or dead? (Silence-waiting
for an answer.l No. We told you 80.
A famous Gotham taxidermist VINO
used to stuff fifty pugs a year hash :
laid eyes on one since 1905
His last customer was a stout laoy
who brought her deceased pet on an
eiderdown pillow, and wept piteously
when told she would have to walt two
weeks before he would be ready TO
look at. Yessir and Yesmam! the
pug has passed to that mysterious
along with high wheeled bicycles. wax
roses and New Years calls. No per-
son can picture pug living in TINS
eight-cylinder gas wagon age he is
a symbol of the gentler age.
The pug would wheeze himself 70
death and fall out-powi-at the hrst
hairpin curve. The pug belonged TO
the era of landaus, whatnots horse
cars and old fashioned turkey busters.
The Nation, the grand old publfca-
ton. has been having lot OF praise
and good wishes heaped upon itself
the last few weeks in celebration OF
its ffftieth anniversary.
The periodical tells with relish and
good humor a good story on itself.
During its early days it once pub
lished a list of contributors SOLD
array, too solid, some thought.
Immediately the editor of a frivo-
lous publication OF the time conspic-
uousIy reprinted the list in his own
paper, preceded by the reassuring an
nouncement; None of the following
writers contribute to these columns.
Down at the City Island one of the
White Way dancers who wishes to
bathe with great privacy and discre-
ton installed her own bathing ma
chine. 1t was quite a clever idea but
there are lot of newspaper readers
who would like to know whose over
whelming desire for privacy it was
that landed in all the papers picture
of the bathing machine enlivened by
two actresses in one piece bathing
suits.
!, DR.. F.. M. Planck of Kansas City,
arrived in town to deliver lecture
at the Waldorf on the day that the
newspapers reported that Mrs. Evelyn
'Thaw had been formally arrested
He said he was extremely glad to
learn that she had been formally ar
rested" Out In his part of Missouri
it seems there is a deplorable tendency
to arrest people with much informal
ity. However, as DR.. Planck pointed
out. each police force has its rules OF
etiquette and what might be au fait
IN Missouri might be counted positive
rudeness in these over-cultured met
ropolitan centers.

2O8 AUTO MAIL ROUTES
BEGIN OPERATION TODAY
New Deliveries Will Cover ,440
Miles of Rural Post Roads in
Eight States.

Two hundred and eight automobile ru-
raj delivery routes, distributed among
eight states. will go into operation to-
day. This means that approximately H.
40 miles Of rural post roads will be ira
versed six days a week during August
by automobile.
In all, orders have been issued author
izinC 29S motor routes. Two experimental
routes We're put into operation in Penn
sylvania July l at Ouarryville. Other
authorize tons include eighty-three routes
effective September 1 and five routes
effective October l.
The routes vary in length from a fif-
ty-mile minimum to sixty-four miles. and
will be operated from nine to twelve
months a year. The salary paid to car
riers on such routes varies from sl,5O0
to $3.50 year. Reports received by
Postmaster General Burleson from a spe-
cial inspection OF the two pioneer routes
in Pennsylvania show that this service
is in every way satisfactory. 1t is
demonstrated where road conditions are
good that even a sixty-mile route can
be easily served in from seven to eight
hours.

Denver. Col, Aug. 1.-Patrick Keenan,.

small boats and submarines completely
invisible when on the surface and thus
to render helpless the Dreadnoughts and
modern leviathans which the nations now
are building in their struggle for control
of the seas.
few months ago Hiram Maxim gave
out an interview in which he said that
he hoped to obtain complete invisibility
for the submarines, even when it was
running along the surface. Keenan, read

for a patent on an invention which he
believed covered the ground.
Briefly, Keenan's idea is to clothe the
portion OF the submarine above the sur
face with a mirrow which will reflect
only the water beneath 1t, and at
distance of few yards would give the
appearance Of virgin sea.
