wondering about women's clothes.
What he really can not comprehend,
what remains a mystery, in spite of
his ponderings, is why women wear
big hats and high heels.
He wrote me, to ask my opinion,

had heard the matter discussed, but
his curiosity was unsatisfied.

Women wear big hats to shade

ALL DOGS TO RE REPORTED.

Frankfort, Ky.-To the County Tax
Commissioner: in the enactment Of
the dog law by the 1918 kentucky
Legislature, certain duties are speci-
fed to be performed by the County
Assessor or the County Tax Commits
sioners. as they are now known, one
of which is, that they shall annually,
on or before the 31st, Of December.
1918, make a complete report to the
county clerk and a duplicate report
to the Commissioner of Agriculture,
setting forth the name of every own
er Of any dog or. dogs listed, and
since the department is anxious to
receive the reports of the Assessors
at the earliest possible date, / am
calling upon you to that end and re-
specially refer you to Bulletin No
81 herewith inclosed and especially
to Section 16 of said Bulletin.
| believe that you are fully con
versant with the requirements of this
new dog law, but in case you are not,
i would thank you to please read
same carefully and give this depart
ment the benefit of your most liberal
and hearty cooperation, looking to-
ward a most rigid enforcement of
this most consequential law.
Some of the Assessors have failed
to list dogs under four months of age,
which is an error, because the law
does not differentiate as between a
dog and a puppy, and even If the
puppy is only a day old, he should
be listed just the same as If he is
many days old.
This law was enacted for the pur-
pose of protecting the sheep indus
try of this Commonwealth and to in
crease the production of same and I
hope you will impress upon your peo-
pie the determination of this depart
ment to enforce the law to the full
lest extent of the power and authori-
ty vested in same, irrespective of pol
itics or religion, without fear or fav-
or.
Therefore, those who fail or refuse
TO comply with the mandates of this
Act will most assuredly suffer the
humiliation and expense of prose-
cution provided for such failure.
Again asking for your most earn
est cooperation in the enforcement
of this Act, beg to subscribe,
Yours very truly,
MAT S. COHEN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

But Christmas is not only the mile
mark of another year, moving us to
thoughts of determination is a
season, from all its associations,
whether domestic or religious, sug-
costing thoughts of joy. A man dis
satisfied with his endeavors is a man
tempted to sadness. And in the
midst of winter, when his life runs
lowest and he is reminded of the
empty chairs of his beloved, it is well
that he should be condemned to this
fashion of the smiling face.-Robert
Louis Stevenson.

LEAP FOR LIFE FROM
BURNING BALLOONS
Observers of the British Royal Fly
ing Corps Describe Thrilling
Episodes

Behind the British Lines in France
Feb. 15-Correspondence of the AS
sociated Press. )-Leaps for life from
burning observation balloons when
attacked by German airplanes were
described by observers of the British
royal flying corps to an Associated
Press correspondent when he visited
one of the camps behind the lines q
few days ago.
These camps usually are located
Just out of range OF the howitzer
shells. although still well within the
range of the German high-velocity
naval guns which devote their time
to shelling the back areas.
A balloon ascent at the front is
never light undertaking. and one
day recently when the correspondent
visited a station in fairly inactive
part OF the line, six balloons contain
ing twelve men were shot down by
German airplanes, all within sight
OF one another. One of the German
alrplanes was downed by anti-air-
craft fire from the ground.
1t was a day when the visibility
was put down on the chart as good"
but there were many white clouds in
the sky which offered good cover for
the German airplanes.
One Of the twelve officers who were
compelled to reach terra firma by the
parachute route told the story of his
trip. I'VE were perched at $500
feet,' he said. "and had been up on

It can be done.

There are the Mayo brothers in

cine. But they were better surgeons
than others. and now people from all

nationwide. Similarly, another

H. Gordon Selfridge, London mer-
chant who was born in the United
States, attributes his great success to
newspaper advertising. He says that
any man of capabilities who conducts
his business honestly can grow rich If
he advertises judicfously and contin:
sually. "In England" he says, Zone
cannot get all the advertising space he
wants, but take every inch I can
obtain. am paying at the rate of
one dollar per agate line for display
space right now and will probably
have to pay more before the war is
over, but I shall cheerfully do So"

expended for advertising is wasted
should put this in their pipes and
smoke it.
