DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGL AND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint.

The British government is wrestling
dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish
ing stocks of food 1t seems settled
that the number of dogs is to be re-
duced. There are hardly any dog bis
cults left, and no more will be manu-
featured, as the low grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for the
textile trades.
Bonar Law, chancellor of the exche-
quer, refused to include a heavy tax
on dogs in his budget. which he in
troduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that such tax would
kill dog-breeding as an industry, and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed, while the pampered
Pekinese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding of dogs during
the war except under license. The eff
feet of this would be to allow the per-
petuation of pedigree breeds, which
have taken many years and large sums
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs.
The breeding of mongrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in the future need all their in
genuity to keep pets fed.

Names of DAYS.

The Roman names of the days have
undergone little more than transla-
ton in the Saxon and consequently
English names. Thus, the first day of
the week is Sonnan-daeg with the Sax
ons, Dies, Soils with the Romans. Mon
day is Monan-daeg with the SaXOns,
Dies Lunae with the Romans. Tues
day is, among the SaXons, Tues-daeg-
that is, Tuesco's day-from Tuesco, a
mythical person, supposed to have
been the first warlike leader of the
Teutonic nations; among the Romans
it was Dies Martis, the day, of Mars,
their god of war. The fourth day of
the week was, among the Saxons,
Woden's-daeg, the day of Wooden, or
Oden. another mythical being of high
warlike reputation among the northern
nations, and the nearest in character
to the Roman god of war.
