DOG DAYS
Four Footed Chums of the Hunt
ing Crowd Will soon Rest
(BY MRS. X. S. LAWSON

1t is estimated at the "Game
Club" that over 1000 quail have
been killed within radius of
twenty miles Of Punta Gorda this
open season and it may easily be
5000 considering the number shot
by others than the hunting set OF
the city. Much of the good sport
this year has been due to the dogs
that have been worked until the
owners repeatedly had to stop a
day to let the dogs rest up, Tour
lists who don t make arrangements
well ahead for dogs protest there
are no dogs in town with which to
hunt but the crowd that stands in
with the dogs knows better.
Everybody knows South Florida
is not very kind to fine dogs when
the summer really gets to work so
the regulars ship their dogs back
and forth.
Jack Iowe), the champion
however, Just stays on all the year
round even when his master goes
up to Kentucky where Jack came
from three years ago. Jack is
the pride of his master for Jack,
as any friend of his will say, will
trail anything and kill anything
while he has more skunk killing
to his credit other canine around
here. Jack just naturally seems
to despise skunks. He has sub
dued to his credit every kind of a
beast or bird a good dog could be
asked to conquer and it is quite
admitted he has the record on
quail this year
Turk (M'Cleary) arrived early
in the season to be guest OF j.
Mizell, waiting for his owners ar
rivel. Turk is the hero of many
good hunting story in his day
and is the senior dog in the hunt
ing set. But while Turk is on the
job whenever anyone can borrow
him, his master is going to miss
the season. And it is all due to
the war. Mr.. McClary is the real
thing when it comes to sizing up a
mules points and trading, so that
no one wondered that some of the
allies, France it is said, has him
busy picking out mules for the
war business. AS the life of a
mule once he hits the battlefield is
said to be only ten days, McCleary,
ism t likely to need Turk for some
time. But the old hunting crowd
miss him more than a little.
A pair of dogs that have shown
up well are Boy and Joe shipped
down from Illinois by j Hamlen.
Boy is Hamlen's special pride
while Joe makes his headquarters
with Mr.. Killam and the two
men are in the woods usually to-
gether. Boy lately lit out of the
carriage on the back of one OF the
mules hitched to it and fell be
tween the mules and every wheel
that could reach him passed over
his body. Mr.. Hamlen thought

The American Federation of Arts

value of a shipment must be declared.
The federation of arts has every rea-
son to complain One of its principal
activities was sending travelling eXhi-
billions of pictures and sculpture to
places more or less remote from art
centers. Last year 26 such exhibitions
were held in 124 places. One COM

went 10 Sioux Falls, S D., then to
Seattle. and later to a number OF
cities on the Pacific coast. These typ
zeal examples indicate how far the
modest candle Of the federation sends
its rays into an artless world. The
demand for the exhibitions is eager,
the towns requesting them bear the
transportation expenses, and the fed

John Wanamaker has a beautiful

He wants the United States 10 buy

At first this takes ones breath away.
Then the possibilities and ADVANTAGES

plan is simply that the United States
should borrow about one hundred bill
lion dollars. He thinks that most
American citizens would gladly loan
money TO the government for this
purpose for five years without inter-

that Germany might sell the country

Here's more abuse for the poor
newspapers. Katherine Bement Davis.
an uplifter whom New Yorks re-
form mayor placed in charge OF the
city prisons has refused 10 let the
prisoners on Blackwell's island read
newspapers in their cells because. she
says. The average daily newspaper IS
a lesson in crime"
Maybe this is only a flash Of resort
ment due 10 the fact that even Miss
Davis. though one of the most capa-
BILE and clear headed women in public
life. is subject TO the weakness OF
not being able 20 endure criticism.
or maybe her slur is really deserved
by New York newspapers though to
an outsider. the metropolitan sheets
seem to have vastly improved since
the old yellow" days that won them
unenviable fame
1t will be news, however. TO most
American readers TO he told that their
newspapers are lessons in crime"
The papers. of course. print stories Of
crime-because crimes occur. and the
public has a desire and a right to
know about them. and because pub
licity is the best corrective of crime
and wrong. But if there ever was an
era when our newspapers generally
sought to exploit crime and take ad.
vantage Of unwholesome public inter
ests to fatten their circulation. that
time has passed II is safe 10 say
that the average newspaper today
prints far less crime and vice in its
columns than the average reader
would read with avidity if it were
there. There is a deliberate. con-
scious purpose in the minds OF most
editors TO place before their readers
nothing that is not good for them to
read. Even the New York papers,
as World pointed out. carried. in the
same issue containing this criticism
from Miss Davis, a total quantity of
criminal news filling less space than
Miss Davis own statement of her own
plan to reform prison conditions.
