DEFINITION OF DOG DAYS
May Not Be Strictly Orthodox, But II
Surely Covers the Ground
Most Thoroughly.

We don't know whether there are
dog days, according to the ALBANIA
that is, or not.
Several years have passed since we
had in the house one of those little
books with a disemboweled gentleman
on the front cover, so there is no
means of finding out.
A hot and muggy day is not a dog
day, technically, unless the dog star,
Sirius, the original Skye terrier pre-
sumably, is in evidence, or opposition,
or something. Life is serious enough
without delving into astronomy for
useless information.
Dog star or no dog star, dog days
are days when one does nothing more
worth while all afternoon than write
doggerel and goes home wearier than
he has been in a dogs age, to sleep like
a dog and get up in the morning dog
tired.
Dogged around by the necessity TO
labor one would, did happy opportun-
lty beckon, start off on a dog trot for
the nearest beach or sylvan lake, there
to camp out in q dog tent until au-
tumn's crisp days, occasionally swim
ming around dog fashion in the clear
and cooling waters, offering fervent
praise in dog Latin.
In the city dog days are just one
doggone thing after another.-New-

Secret of Book of Revelation.

The number 666 used in the Bible
as symbOlizing the beast is a constant
source of speculation as to what per-
sonage the mystic mineral indicates.
According to Prof. S. E. Slocum of the
University Of Cincinnati, the key to
the riddle lies in the fact that in the
case of the Greek form of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew characters,
the letters of the name have each a
numerical significance according to
the number notation of the Hebrews,
and the sum of tn" numbers is 666.
The apostle in exeuriating the en-
peror would have .ound it unsafe to
mention him outright or in some OBJ
vious symbolism. sCch rs in Latin or
Greek numbers. while using Hebrew
characters would be fair c0ncealment
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Revelation works out
strikingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis
creetly about the prosecuting Roman
emperor.

New York, Dec. 30-Based on cor
rected casualty lists, the federal gov
crnment stands to lose from S4S0,00O,
600 to S5OO0O0,O00 for the war insur
ance taken out by the soldiers on the
solicitation of the government during
he last eighteen months
The basis for the computation is on
$1,000 deaths since the plan went into
effect in 1917. About 90 per cent of
these deaths represent insurance
claims on the government averaging
1874 each.
"This," says John B. Lunger, vice
president of the Equitable Life Assur
ance society, in prepared statement,
would indicate total ultimate claims
of $6s0,00O,000. Deducting from this
the premiums paid by the soldiers and
sailors, which we may generously esti-
mate at $2OO,AO0O00, we have an ap-
parent excess war insurance mortality
70 be paid from the public treasury of
%t80. 600 OO."

CHILD DRINKS POISON
12-Year-Old Girl Tries Suicide After
Rebuke by Mother.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3O.-Quick action
on the part of physicians at the uni
versity hospital probably saved the
life of twelve-year-Old Edith Wilson,
of 2035 South Fifty-seventh street,
after she had swallowed large por-
ton of poison.
According to the police, Edith left
the house as a result of dispute with
her mother in which she thought that
she had been censured too severely.
She went 20 a drug store, where She
purchased a bottle Of disinfectant,
containing a strong solution of car
bolic acid She then walked to CObbs
Creek boulevard, where she drank the
entire contents of the bottle. She re-
turned home shortly afterward and
was taken violently i'll. Her mother
Immediately summoned an ambulance,

Women and the Movies.

I believe the next generation of
women will be more interesting in
every way, because Of the stimulus
given to their lives by the motion
pictures. I notice so much difference
in the women I meet since the pic
lures have become popular. The en-
tire world has been visualized for
them; it has been like universal edu-
cation. Not merely for the women who
have lacked advantages, mind you, but
more especially for the type of women
whose outlook has been limited by
their intellectual concepts-who could
not be made to believe that there was
anything worth while outside of their
special circle Of culture.-Margarita

FOSTERED BY FRENCH KING
ming When 1t FavorabIy Attracted
Attention of Louis.

Early in the eighteenth century the
ing porcelain was begun at Rouen.
France. At Chantilly, about the year
1925, a porcelain was made which imi.
tated the Imari ware of Japan. Some
Is years later another factory was es-
tablished at Vincennes, and now comes
the beginning of the famous Seyres.
1t was in the year 1853, so historians
interested in this subject tell us. that
the king, Louis XIV, who for the past
FIVE years had been making donations
for the carrying on Of the work, al
lowed the adjective ''royap' to be add
ed to the name Of the work, and grant
ed the use of two interlaced LIS as
trademark. In order to keep
record of the porcelain made in diff
ferent years, scheme of lettering
was arranged which, to the initiated,
would tell the tale. For example, an
A in the space between the two LIS
signified that the piece of porcelain
thus marked was made in that year In
which the king began to take an active
interest in the work, 1853. Three
years later the factory was removed
from Vincennes to Sevres, and 1t 8
there that one may visit it today, over
in one corner of the beautiful park
of st. Cloud, not far from the Seine.
And, in 1859, the king took it over
as a state industry, to be managed
henceforth as such.
Now, it happened that the making
of porcelain appealed to Madame de
Pompadour, and she did everything In
her power to bring the Sevres prod
uct up to the highest possible artistic
standard, to popularize the ware at
court and throughout the country, and
even throughout the whole of Europe.
Among the beautiful colors which were
employed in this ware, one Of the love-
Hest was named for her, the "rose
Pompadour."

RADICALS QUIT
BERLIN CABINET
Majority Socialists viii Form
New Government.
PREMIER EBERT IS VICTOR
Council After Long Session Forces
Independent Socialists to Retire
From Office

Berlin, Dec. 3O.-Foreign Minister
Haase, Minister of Special Policy
Barth and Decentralization Minister
Dittman retired from the cabinet after
the central council had decided against
the Independents on a majority of the
questions the Independents had SUBJ
mitted for consideration.
Premier Ebert, Finance Minister
Scheidemann and Minister of Publicity
LandSberg are now in charge OF the
Revolutionary government.
The cabinet and the council of SOL
diers and workers sat in conference
throughout Saturday afternoon in
what was a cross-eXamination by the
council of the cabinet on the cabinets
recent administration. Afterward the
council went into secret session and
sat until late at night.
The impression now is that the Ma
iority Socialists will form a new gov
eminent with the assistance Of the
liberal bourgeoisie.
Herr Barth said that his faction
does not approve of the tactics of the
Spartacan Socialists or violence in any
form He permitted the inference that
Hugo Haase's party does not at pres
ent contemplate a counter-reyolution.
Herr Barth concluded with the
statement that the general economic
and food situation would chiefly de-
termine the future course of events.
The sailors council of the German
admiralty and the marine general stafr
have issued a declaration that they
will be faithful to the government in
view of the difficult times Germany
is experiencing.
The intervention of the central
council, comprising twenty-seven Ma
jority Socialists appointed by the re-
cent national congress, indicates that
the revolutionary forces outside Of
Berlin propose to assert the senti-
ments and opinions Of other sections
of Germany. which are we'll known at
variance with the Berlin interprata-
ton of revolutionary aims and meth
DDS.
\ plan to remove the present state
government from Berlin is said to
have been proposed by the Majority
Socialists in the cabinet. The MaJori-
ty Socialists announced a great public
street demonstration as protest
against Spartacus activities.
The Lokal Anzeiger's POsen cores
pondent says there was street rioting
in Posen Friday evening. German
soldiers marching through the town
are said to have hauled down entente
flags.
A company of Polish civilian sol
diers proceeded to police headquar-
ters for the purpose Of raiding the
premises. German soldiers with ma
chine guns dispersed the Poles, who
are said to have suffered severe loss;
es. Quiet was restored at night.
The German propaganda bureau as
"erts that in the fighting in Berlin on
Christmas eve seventy-six persons
were killed. The attacking troops
lost fifty-six men killed, while six
sailors and five policemen who were
lighting with the sailors lost their
lives.
The bureau also announces that the
damage to the imperial castle during
he fighting was great. More than
90 shells were fired on the castle.

A HOSPITAL CIRCUS.

1.-THE circus was in the city" said
Daddy, land c} cry day the circus pco-
pie and the animals had performed for
thousands and thousands of children
and many, many grownups.
This city had seen this same circus
often before and most Of the tricks
and most of the performers We're just
the same, but no one cared about that,
for a circus is Il circus and we are all
quite willing to see one once Il year,
eh?"

Nancy.
II agree" said Nick.
The circus people thought 1t would
be nice to-give an afternoons perform
ance to children who weren't able IL
afford the money to pay for circus.
OF course all couldn't get to the circus
even then, but the circus people tried
to let as many us possible see it quite
free.
"'You know said one Of the clowns.
that think it would be good idea II
some morning when we haven't any
performance and no parade and no
practice performance, if u good many
of us went to one of the big hospital
yards and performed for the children
who can't get out and see us.
"Well,' said another clown, that
is good scheme. Well have to see
what can be done about it
"And so they talked to the managers
tI.,
to the heads of a big city hospital
where there were lots and lots and lots
Of children who were sick.
"sFine, f1ne,' said the hospital peo-
pie. Well keep it as big surprise
for all our little patients
"And the clown grinned, perfectly
natural grin, and not nearly as wide
grin as we're used to seeing at the cir
Gus, for he hadn't any Of the white on
his face, nor the red on his mouth. But
1t was a happy, satisfied grin.
"Tm so glad he said that they viii
arrange it for u.s. he said. Now l must
see the other performers who are COM
ing too for the circus managers had
said that the circus people had agreed
and that the clown whose idea 1t was
could manage it if he wanted to.
HE was delighted to manage 1t, for
though it meant much extra work for
him, he kept thinking Of the laughs ne
would hear from the hospital children
and he thought to himself that they
would be the best laughs In the world.
AT last the day came for the circus
people to 60 to the big hospital. The
day was clear and the sun was shining.
They had to wear extra wraps
the hospital patients-so that the air
would not do them any harm. The
children had been told that they were
going to have a surprise which they
would see in the big hospital yard.
"They couldn't possibly guess what
it was going to be. They finally de-
cided that a nice monkey and hand
