Why We Don't Like to Wear Rubbers

THERE would be many more colds, much more
bronchitis and more pneumonia If rubbers were
not worn; but, in spite Of this fact, nearly every
one hates to put them on. And there's a very good
reason why.
Boots and shoes are made Of leather, and leather is
the tanned skin Of an animal Every hide has pores in
II, just as our own skin has, so that, when we are wear
ing shoes, these pores give a chance for the feet to
breathe. Rubber. not being an animals skin, but the
gummy sap OF a tree, has none Of these pores, and so
when we wear Tubbers our feet can't breathe.
Of course, there is a good deal Of difference between.
leather and skin. When we splash through a puddle
on a city pavement or walk through mud on a country
road, the dampness viii go through ones shoes, but not

the drowning person much quicker
One Of the first things the dogs
at Nj. TROOPS college T taught,
therefore, is to save time and energy
in w~aterrescue work by king a
long flying leap from the shore in
stead Of stepping directly into the
water, and by dint Of practise and
patience, some of these dogs have
acquired the ability to save at least
ten feet in this way. The remark
able photograph at the top Of this
page shows n of Mr.. TROOPS
dogs in the course Of such a lean,

The Throop Dog College is housed
In a building erected especially for
the purpose. The dogs begin their
training as puppies. Mr.. Throop is
assisted in the work OF instruction
by an expert trainer from Switzer-
land, and when they have finished
a course under his direction, there IS
very little for them TO learn in ths
way Of sleutheraft.
after being taught in the usual
way to mind the voice Of the master.
the puppies are given exercise in
jumping. The start Is made with
a hurdle about two feet high. The
distance is increased as the dogs
grow older and get more practise.
and when the trainer Is through
with a hul-gTown animal, he can
easily leap over a fence from ten
TO fifteen feet high.
Then the dogs are trained in fol-
lowing the scent and in holding a
prisoner and IN guarding things left
in its care.
When n Of the dogs comes from
the hands Of the Elmview trainer
he is equipped to be Of great value
to municipalities, to owners Of large
estates or any others who need faith
.ul guardians possessing intelli-
gence that Is almost human.
Some Of the feats Of Elmview
graduates T most remarkable.
They have been frequently turned
out IN pursuit Of fugitives and have

through ones skin. The reason is that the skin Is alive
ana there IS a kind Of machinery which keeps live skin
from letting the water 90 through; the leather is skin
that is dead, and so the pores have little resistance TO
the entering Of the water. OF course, leather can be
made waterproof, but then the pores are nearly filed up.
Dry feet are absolutely necessary if one wants to
Keep healthy, and however much one may hate rubbers.
they should be worn whenever there is need. But to
wear them too much or too often is bad for the health.
Rubbers cause corns and bunions and various other
ailments OF the feet which cause a great deal Of pain.
But the main reason why we hate them is because they
stop breathing, just as a rubber cap over the nose
would. If all the body was covered with rubber, EXCEPT
for the face. a man would die within three days. The
body has to breathe.

the dock from which the leap was
made appearing at the extreme left
Of the picture.
Equally ingenious is the course of
training adopted to develop the dogs
as body-guards. The principal dan
ger encountered in an assault by a
thug is in the use by him Of a
weapon. It may be a knife or a re
Volver or a club. The dogs are
trained to meet either. In the case
OF an attack by a man armed with
a revolver or knife, the dogs train
ing IS such that at the first fash Of
the weapon he flies at the hand hold

In the illustration at the foot OF
this page the method employed bv
Two trained dogs when working TO-
gether is clearly shown. While one
Is jumping at the revolver leveIled
al him. the other is busily engaged
In sounding the alarm.
In training the animals to jump at
intruders or -a~ssailants, the trainer
wears a specially constructed padded
gar6 to protect him against the dogs
teeth With this protection, It is
perfectly safe for the trainer to al
the animals to jump at him In
earnest.

Ing It and either compels the thug
to drop the weapon altogether or al
least defects it
This feat is acquired by coaching
the animals TO jump at any shining
at a given signal. It is al
most instructive for a dog to Jump
1t a club or similar weapon in the
hands Of a hostile individual, but
.hese dogs are so WelI-rounded in
heir education that no matter what
he weapon is, they have q method
for meeting it.
Another phase Of their
bOdy-guard education is in the
matter Of giving an alarm.
Mr.. ThrOOp has developed in
his dogs the valuable faculty
Of remaining silent while on
the scent, instead OF baying
like other hounds and there
BY giving the fugitive the
Alarm. When, however. they
catch up with their quarry
they give vent to a most pc
culiar baying signal, quite
unlike the natural CRY Of a
hound and so distinctive that
1t can be readily recog-
niZed.

object is to turn

fcient dogs ever bred, not only phys.
'cally, but mentally, and some of the
graduates Of the Elmview Dog Col

most promising pupils are German

dogs Of that variety.

This, as Nj. Throop points out, is
q great waste Of energy upon the
dogs part, because by making a
long flying leap into the water, the
dog can save many swimming
strokes and, at the same time, reach

It is impossible to witness the film drama,
"The Birth OF Nation now being
shown at the Auditorium, St. Paul, and not
want to say something about it.
Everyone who has seen it is saying some
thing about it. When one has been crowd
ed upon, pressed down and run over, it is
against Nature not to make some kind of
an cutlery.
That is the way one feels when coming
out of the Auditorium. The thing is vast.
1t is overwhelming. Nothing like it has
ever been put upon the stage.
The tension of the performance is but
single feature of it-but it is that which
one feels more poignantly after three
straight hours. 1t begins in an easy way
but commences soon to find it's muscle and
goes on to the end pounding upon ones
senses with blows that come heavier and
heavier, more and more rapid.

he was then it is compliment to the black
man Of today. An exhibition Of lawlessness
might not have been proper thirty or forty
years ago. Such proprieties change with
the passing of time
The battle scenes which Mr. Griffith has
depicted are of surprising power and real
ism. Every lover Of peace must experience
certain painful qualification that just at
this time the CHASTITY horrors Of carnage
can be brought so closely home to the eye
1t is one thing to read about the trenches
the killing and the corpses. 1t is quite an
other thing to have them bodily pressed
before the eye, with all the demoniac fury
that marks conflict at close range. A we'll
written description of battlefield allows
the place and the occasion to be invested
with features of magnificence, with the hero
ism of the contestants and the glory of the
victors On Griffith's screen we see the
real thing. There is no magnificence, no
glory, but horror, brutality and stark butch
cry 1t sickens with the sense of mans
