When Charles NJ Schwab was re-
turning from France he was on boat
carrying many negro soldiers and
learned that many of them were with
out money Mr.. Schwab loaned 81

told them they need not pay it back

Doc Watches for Auto.

Does evolution In the life of animals
cause them 10 take added care In go
ing across q street infested with au-
tos? Some folks says II does. Early
in the auto age numerous dogs were
killed because they would run out to
bark at an auto and judging the speed
by that Of horse-drawn vehicle. they
often were run over.
This fact can still be noticed In some
country districts, where autos are not
plentiful. Close students and lovers
OF dogs In the city say they have often
noticed dogs looking to the left and
10 the right before they start across
u street. OF course. not all of them
do. neither do NIL human beings, but
the thinking dog does. Watch II for
yourself.

emotions not separable, the one imply

the rule of the exercise of these two
passions. They deal with men
and women, and are complete novels
Of everyday life. OF the past, there is
the carefully preserved traditional
treatment, as accurate as the delight
full reproduction OF old.time costumes
and old-time life found In the long
line OF artists Of the brush, whether In
painting or literature.
But this IS trait OF the race, so
eminently given to minute detail in
featuring its environment. Its preju-
dices are instanced In the great impor,
lance and strict injunction as to OBJ
servance and practice OF longtime Gus

Ills to old superstitlons always upper

ly spread others severely local. i.
With all the varied detail and confu-

the same rigid lines. In general terms

can be attributed to the essential same
ness found throughout Japanese social
life. The ghost itself Is to be men
