The following "Don It's" will
prove helpful to anyone who is so
fortunate as to be the possessor
of that most faithful of animals
a dog:
Don't give a noble good-tem-
pered dog a name that suggests
the very opposite Of his nature.
Don't try to force friendship
upon a dog, Speak kindly to
him and let him take the initia-
tive in making further advances.
Don t throw away a dogs plate
of dinner because he does not eat
it promptly. Leave it for him.
Don't keep a dog on chain if
possible to avoid it, and if it
must be, see that it is long
enough to allow exercise.
Don t tempt your dog and
then whip him for yielding.
Don't be sparing Of expressing
affection toward your dog.
Don't keep a dog penned up a
lone.
DOM neglect to give him plen
ty of water.
Don t allow him to become GOV
cred with vermin and to suffe
torture from it.

she finished he very grayely put
his paw into her hand and licked
her cheek. "Robin takes that as
a tribute to himself" said Mr.

The present agreement was made n
Nav. 1918. and became effective early

spring.
No Strike Talk.
Although the only question at issue
will be that Of increased wages there
is no talk Of strike on the part Of the
employees. Even should the men term
mate the present agreement there is
no probability Of a strike. There is
the best Of feeling existing between the
management and the men. ands in a
dozen or more years since the organ
ization of the unions there has never
been serious difficulty between the
men and the company. The men fee,
that the company has always treated
them right and that the employees have

MILITIA CALLED
FOR STRIKE DUTY
Rioters at Hastings, N. ", Threaten
Plant Of National Conduit and Cable
Company Sheriff Exercises Rights
Under New Law to Call Troops.

Hastings on hudson, y. Y. April -
Martial law was declared in Has
tings village and state troops were
called on for duty today after rioting
had assumed grave proportions among
strikers of the National Conduit anu
Cable Company.
The trustees of the village voted to
place the situation in the hands of the
sheriff, who called the guardSmen from
White Plains, Mount Vernon ana
Flushing.
Sheriff Weisendanger suspended the
sale of intoXicants and closed all sa-
looms and ordered ON duty the deputies
withdrawn yesterday.
The troops were called out under
law recently passed authorizing sher-
if to take such action in an emer-
gency,
After stoning the shops the strikers
and their sympathizers jostled train
commuters in the streets, drew reVol-
-vers and fired into the air and at the
plant. No one was injured during TINS
attack.
President J. P Goodwin, OF the W.

beer called upon because tr company
which manufactures munitions or war
had demanded protection OF their

MORE TROOPS FOR PERsHING.
Funston Sending $500 Soldiers Into
Mexico.

San Antonio, Tex, April l9.-Gen-
eral Funston is sending to General Per-
shing more than 1000 additional troops,
and there is reason to believe that even
more will be placed at the disposal or
General Pershing If the campaign
against Francisco Villa is continued.
The troops which have been ordered
to Pershing's base at Columbus are
now on duty along the border. What
troops will relieve them and where they
will come from remained unannounced.
1t may be that the war department
will have to authorize the sending OF
the few remaining troops in the United
States into this department, or 1t may
be that the filling, of the vacant points
along tile border may be left to the gov
eminent of Texas which may send the
militia. Ill.,.
New Troops to Pershing.
The troops selected for General Per-
shing are the Sixth cavalry from the
Brownsville district, the Seventeenth
infantry from Eagle Pass, troop L OF
the Tenth cavalry from Fort Apache,
Ariz, and one battalion Of the Twenty
fourth infantry, one company OF which
is at Ell Paso, one at Maria, and an
other at Fabens.
In addition to these troops, totaling
1900, General Pershing now has In his
base guard at Columbus 300 men, but
the necessity of maintaining at least
that many there Is recognized. e
General Pershing requested more
troops some time ago. but General
Funston hesitated to order them be-
cause faced with the danger Of weak
ening garrisoned and patrolled points
along the border. He has authority to
move such troops III his department as
he wishes. but the strengthening OF any
point from another department. rests
with the war department.
Why Troops Are Needed.
STAFF officers here were convinced
some days ago that unless Villa was
taken before he got beyond points
within short distance south OF Satevo,
the chances, of getting him were remote.
That point has been reached and Villa
remains atElarge-or dead-and to that
situation Is added an undisguised hos
tility of various Carranza organizations
that, army men here declare. makes
doubly necessary the strengthening OF
General Pershing's force.
