MOTORING BAD FOR DOGS
Swiftly Moving Cars Cause Heart Dis.
ease in CANNES

The attention of the veterinary sur
geons and dog breeders has recently
been directed to riding in motors as the
cause of hitherto unexplained cases ui
heart disease in valuable dogs. 1t has
teen noted that certain breeds of dogs
are more susceptible TO the ill effects
than others. Spaniels are perhaps OF
all breeds, the most inclined to heart
disease and, therefore; the most liza.
BILE to suffer i'll effects from riding IL
| motor cars.
The swift moving car with it's sud
den starts and stops, its sharp turns
and the flying panorama of people an I
things passing in rapid succession
causes in dogs an unnatural excite
ment. They sniff the air and watch
with intense interest the people dodg.
ing out of the way ahead. This ex.
citement is partly caused by the dog's
instinct to save human life, for at ev-
cry turn he perceives a chance for Il
rescue, but primarily this inclination
is doubtless a direct result of the ac-
tion on the heart caused by the strain
on the optic nerves and brain.
10 is we'll known that all animals
are uneasy and restless in being trans
ported by mechanical means. The
faster the transportation, and the
more open the view has been, the
worse are the results. But the dog be-
ing one of the animals to which is a.
tributed almost human intelligence"
naturally is more strongly affected
than the duller animals.
The pet dogs which show great de-
light when starting for motor ride
with their masters and prance into the
car in excited glee are under the
same unnatural stimulation as the
drinker after imbibing several whis-
kies. The dog grows to like the ex-
citement just as the drinker, and after
long indulgence becomes thoroughly
unhappy and miserable if left at home
when the family takes the evening
spin. But in spite of the dogs fond
ness for motoring there seems little
dount that too much of it will actually
shorten their lives. In this connection
1t is a seriously debated question as
TO whether human beings are not
slightly affected in the same way
when motors are driven at high speeds
and whether a large percentage of our
too common heart disease is not real

Why He Left.

The retiring minister of a small
church in New Jersey took leave of
his congregation in the following
words:
Beloved brethren! If were to
say that our parting grieved me great
~ / should be perverting the truth
/ am enabled to say good-by to you
with tolerable composure, for two
reasons. You do not love me and you
do not love one another. If you loved
me you would have paid my salary

INvENTs DOUBLE ACTING PUMP
Does Twice the Work Of Others Used
In Deep Wells

Patents upon double acting deep
well pump, capable of pumping over
twice the water pumped by the ordin-
ary type in a given time, have been
secured by Louisville distiller, who
is planning to manufacture and mar
ket his invention on large scale.
A practical test covering period OF
one year has been given the device,
the principle of which is to utilize the
down thrust OF the pump piston as
well as the up thrust, thus obtaining
d continuous flow ot water
Accoding to the inventor 1t Is posi-
BILE, with the old type to obtain IRON a
six inch well 26,5O0 gallons in ten
hours. With the new pump $4,000 gal.
Ions can be pumped in that ength Of
time, he said. The cost to concerns
using large quantities Of water may
thus be reduced by half.

"TELL MARINEs.r IS
OF klNGLY ORIGIN
Expression Had it's Beginning When
Ruler Was Told of Flyinu Fish

Ruler Was Told of Flying Fish
Listen! If you tell it to the ma.
rines" be quite sure you have it right,
for that warning amphibian is not the
credulous parsonage you have always
supposed him to be.
United States marine corps officers
have traced the famous saying Tell
1t to the Marines" to none other than
our old friend Samuel Pepys of the
diary renown, the original first
nighter," who tells us that the saying
had origin with Charles III. the merry
monarch of England.
1T so befell," the story goes, that
his light hearted majesty with an ex.
ceedingly bored expression on his
swarthy face was walking in the
shade with the ingenious Mr.. Pepys,
secretary of the admiralty"
Il had speech yesterday at Dept
ford,' said Mr.. Pepys, with the cap.
tain of the Defyance. who hath but
lately returned from the Indies, and
who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever l think l did hear in
my life."
Among the stories told were the fish
flying in the air.
Fish flying in the air." exclaimed
his majesty. "Ha, ha, a quaint con-
ceit, which 'twere too good to spoil
wi keeping. What sir" (he turned
and beckoned the Colonel, Sir William
Of hn ri
time regiment on foot, who was fol-
lowing, in close conversation with the
Duke of York;, 1--WE would discourse
with you on matter touching your
element. What say you, colonel, TO
a man who swears he hath seen fishes
flying in the air?'
Il should say, SIRE" returned the
sea soldier, simply, that the man
hath sailed in southern seas. For
when your majcsty's business carried
me hther of late did frequently OBJ
serve more flying fish in one hour
than the hairs on my head in num-
ber"
Old Rowley glanced narrowly at
the colonel's frank weather beaten
face. Then, with IL laugh he turned
to the secretary and said:
"Mr. Pepys, from the very nature
of their calling no class of our sub
jects can have so wide knowledge
of seas and lands as the officers and
men of our loyal maritime regiment
Henceforth, whenever we cast doubt
I'm al hnf nfly n1
we will tell it to the marines-if they
believe it, it is safe to say it is true"

LEFT HANDED WATCH is LATEST
Jeweler Now Thinks There is Demand
for Such Timepieces

Are left handed people inconven.
fenced by the right handed move
ment of clocks and watches? One Kal
amazoo jeweler thinks so. His daugh-
ter complained that left handed peo-
pie were not considered by the right
handed majority, so he made her a
watch in which the movement of the
hands is the reverse of the ordinary.
Other people of like orientation were
so pleased with this concession to
their popularity that they demanded
watches of like construction. Now the
Kalamazoo man is thinking of going
into the business of making watches
and clocks that travel backward on a
scale to supply all the left handed peo-
pie in the country.

| Letters of patent have been issued
to two Grand Rapids, Mich, inventors
covering the basic construction and
details of a collapsible box or case
which trained postal service men be-
| lieve will greatly broaden the scope
| of the mail system and simplify and
| increase the capacity of the average
railway postal car.
The idea grew out of realization
that there was a great field in the mail

ling fragile parcels. The two men
went about the work determined that
there should be no loose parts to be
lost and designed the first box on di.
mensions suitable for railway postal
car practice.
The box is made of fiber and steel
and collapses automatically when the
bottom is turned in. When collapsed
twelve of the boxes occupy a SPACE
twelve inches in height. When open.
three of them fit the inside width of
a standard mail car and nine are de.
signed for each car. These boxes il
is claimed will efrectually protect fra
gile stuff. They are almost break
proof when set up and tests have
shown a heavily loaded truck may run
over them when they are collapsed
without interfering with their action
or damaging them in any way.
Naturally the box seems to have
other fields than the postal service.
1t is claimed by its patentees that
bakeries, laundries and others reuuir-
ing shipping cases that must collapse
readily will find this box particular
ly suited to their needs.
The inventors are negotiating with
the postal authorities at Washington
with an idea to the installation of their
box on mail cars. Railway mail clerks
without number have examined the
case and endorse it. They claim with
these boxes in the cars, the postal ser
vice can meet the express company
on even ground in the shipment of
