A regiment Of American soldiers.

Ing under the immediate orders Of an
English brigadier general, recently
marched for six hours under broil-

sat down and ''looked glum" the Amer

"Hail Hail 4 tho Gangs All Here"
The British ofilcer commanding told
the newspaper correspondent. says the

such troops. They never seemed to

In situations which appealed to the SOL

Experiments made In the training
Of dogs as messengers with the ar
mics In the field have, 1t is stated.
given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half
bred collies and retrievers. A rather
poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done well. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can be fred over as
easily as the ordinary sporting dog,
and, what is quite another thing, they
win face fire at close range. Many
have shown amazing skill In getting
over. under and through all sorts Of
obstacles. including wire.

On several occasions, says Popular
Science Monthly. when an executives
assistant desired to converse with his
superior the former was busy on the
telephone, so he had to wait.
To open the door every few minutes
for the purpose Of looking In on to
have the operator notify you when the
receiver has been hung up Is both an
noying and time consuming. A private
concern has installed an inexpensive
device which eliminates the embar-
rassment.
The executives telephone has an ex-
ira connection which automatically
lights small blue light at the assist
ants office when the former Is using
his phone. As soon as the executive
hangs up the. receiver the light goes
out and the assistant knows that his
superior Is accessible. a ..|,.,..
This device, which is very inexpen-
sive, consists Of two pieces connected
