Keeping Dogs az Pets.

The fashion of keeping little dogs
as objects of luxury is not at all
modern. Both Greek and Roman
women used to have small pet dogs,
over which they made as much fuss
as does a fashionable lady of today
over her poodle. Even men, usual
ly foreigners, were not ashamed to
stroll about the Roman streets car
rying dogs in their arms.

Many Tons Sugar
Are Struggled in
Big Milk Cans

Ell Paso. Tex. April 24.--An ingen-
ious scheme for smuggling contra
band sugar to Mexico through the
El Paso-JuareZ port was dicovered
late today by United States customs
officers when Clement Lozano, Il
Mexican milk wagon driver, was ar
rested at the international bridge.
Examination of three ten gallon
milk cans revealed a false bottom
and sides in the milk cans. The milk
container formed core around
which was packed fifty pounds of
sugar. When the inspector fitted the
lid to the can it was apparently fill
ed with milk.
Customs officials estimated the
Mexican had smugged more than
two tons of contraband sugar to
Mexico in this way. He is believed
to be employed by an organization of
smugglers in Juarez,

Washington, April 24.-Support for

Senator Chamberlain, however, linn

vote for an amendment to exempt the
Interstate Commerce commission and
federal reserve board from executive
action.
For the administration Senators
Williams of Mississippi, Wolcott of

lice Reports Great Shortage OF
Workers in Tri- Cities.

Fifteen hundred men as common
laborers are needed in the tri-cities.
F. W. Rinck, superintendent OF
the Illinois free employment bu-
reau, claimed this today in issuing
a report of the business done by his
office for the last month.
THE demands made upon our Of
fee have been unusually large, he
says, land we are unable to sup
ply the men who are wanted IN
shops and factories of the three
cities.
Many of the shops in this vicin-
ity are charging from time to time
and as result more calls are
placed with us for workers. The
demand for common labor is enorm-
Gus. We could use at the present
time 800 men as common laborers
in the three cities. The situation is
becoming more serious daily. Prac-
tically all of the men seem to have
work. Applications for positions
lower in number daily"
During the month of July there
were 4,137 calls for help while but
2,161 of these were able to be an
swered by the employment office
and workers furnished. The report
shows that 2,30S applied for work
Two thousand, two hundred seven
