DOG WITH A WOODEN LEG
San Francisco Police Magistrate Holds
That II Cannot Be a Vicious
Animal.

San Franclsco.--When Is a vicious
dog not vicious dogf When II has a
wooden leg.
This definition was handed down
from the bench by Police Judge Sui
Ivan In the case of s. Il. Kramer. who
was accused by william Helstuman,
II neighbor, with allowing n vicious
doe TO run at large In the vicinity Of
the Kramer home.
Kramer's dog Is an Airdale. Heis-
tuman owns bulldog which because
of its tendency to chew up Kramer's
animal. wears a muzzle. Soon after
the muzzle was applied the Airedale
took advantage of the situatlon-he
hoped over on his wooden leg and
chewed a little on the bulldog, just by
way OF revenge. Judge Sullivan was
touched by the tale of the wooden leg.
He dismissed Kramer on the latter's
promise that should his Alredale show
signs ut any time of becoming fero-
cious he would unstrap the pegleg and
render the dog helpless.

TO DISTINGUISH FIBER SILK
Remember That II Has Higher Lus-
ter Than Pure Silk and Is
Not Elastic.

Fiber or artificial silk is vegetable
product made. wholly from wood or
from cotton, while pure silk is animal
fiber, taken wholly from the cocoon.
A simple method TO distinguish the
fiber from the pure silk Is to place
hose of each kind side by side. and by
examining both IL will be found that
the artificial. silk has higher luster
than the pure silk. Next, take the
fiber silk In both hands and note the
harshness OF the feel and the absence
of much elasticity. BY going through
the same process with the pure silk
hose the reverse will be found to be
the case.
The phrase, "mercerized silk" Is
used upon many occasions by those
who should know better. There Is nc
such thing as mercerized silk. The
process of mercerization is applied tC
cotton to supply a silky luster.-Dry
