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 almanac
that is, or not.
Several years have passed since we
had in the house one of those little
books with 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 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 opportuD'
ity beckon, start off on a dog trot for
the nearest beach or sylvan lake, there
to camp out in a 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.

FOSTERED BY FRENCH KING;
Famous Sevres Ware Had Its Begin
ming When 1t Favorably Attracted
Attention of Louis.

Early In the eighteenth century the
manufacture of a rather artificial-look.
ing porcelain was begun at Rouen,
France. At Chantilly, about the year
1725, 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 Sevres
It 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 "royal" to be add.
ed to the name of the work, and grant.
ed the use Of two interlaced LIS as
a trademark. In order to keep q
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 3
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 1t 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 shevdid 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.
liest was named for her, the "rose
Pompadour."

Readiness to Move. |

Observation-Disclosures has persisted
in army circles for several days that
something is doing which looks toward
possible operations on the Mexican
border. The story is afoat that in'
portant officers have been compelled
to adjust personal and family plans
to the requirement that they be in
readiness for a possible early move
on the Rio Grande. A variation OF this
is that General Pershing has been di.
rected to hold himself in readiness tG

resolution under which the foreign re-
lations committee Is to investigate
Mexico, said that he had heard these
stories, but had been unable to con-
firm them.
The general program which Senator
King will urge includes these fea,
lures:
A thorough investigation to uncover
the true situation in Mexico, followed
by:
A peremptory demand by this gov
ernnlpn, for the immediate adoption
and enforcement by Mexico of meas
ures FOR the protection Of American
citizens and interests in Mexico, all

"It is impossible to estimate the

ten thousand Americans from, Utah

Mexico and have damage claims. Some
run up to $150,000 or even 100000.
These are entirely aside from in.

FAIRBANKS FIGHTS FOR DAY.
r LIGHT .,.-"

Cordova is one of the few towns that
continues to conserve daylight, not
withstanding the fact that by a con-
gressionaI act the clocks were turned
back the other day. Fairbanks OBJ
jects to letting the cheechako farmers
rule our days, and will make a fight
to fix it's own time according to the
following from the News-Miner:
There are quite a number of peo-
pie in Our Town who object to the
Directing farmers and dairymen of
Eastern states fixing the hours we
shall observe as the day in Fair
banks, as they have been able to do
all over the States, and they will prob
ably have at the next council meeting
an ordinance for the council to con-
slider which will fix the time of day in
Fairbanks according to the needs of
this camp and without regard to the
hour any other damcamp on earth
observes from now on.
"Cleveland, Ohio, has done it for
years, and will continue to do it ire
spective of the daylight laws. They
have tried it and find that they can
make the daylight serve their own
needs better than any outside camp
can do it for them. They simply fix
their town time, and it goes as the
city council fixes it. to suit the needs
of Cleveland alone, which is really
the only town interested in the mat
ter, as we can do the same.
Just because the East doesn't want
to go to bed until getting up time
should be compelled to sit up with
the Fastener in the absent way.
What is good for the East is poison
for Fairbanks. If the council fixes the
present time for all winter, or makes
the time an hour earlier for the win
ter, it will make the best of the win
ter possible, and whatever the gov
eminent does in the matter of time
won't hurt our people. If the court
house time government is an hour
later than town time, what of it? 1t
only gives us an hour more in which
to appear at court on the hour or
deed and anything that keeps fell
low out of court for one hour more is
good enough to try.
Attorney Heilig is studying out an
ordinance which will fill the bill, and
a lot of people are going to fight for
it-that they may do their chores in
daylight"

Merely Breach of Discipline.

An air cadet in England recently
swooped down toward a country road
while practicing diving and struck
carriage in which two convalescent
officers were driving. Both officers
were killed. When the cadet was put
or trial the defense set up the plea
that there had been no such culpable
negligence as would justify verdict
of manslaughter, although the pilot had
committed breach of discipline in
flying low over the road. The cadet
was acquitted.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

Should the coal fields and oil fields
of Alaska be developed to their full
est extent, it may, and probably will,
mean that all Pacific boats plying be-
tween the Pacific coast cities of the
United States and Canada and the
best freight-producing sections of the
Orient-Japan and Siberia-Will be
routed via Alaska. That all such
boats will make stops both going east
and west for fuel supplies. Such an
event will mean big cities and ire
mendous prosperity for Alaska. And
such an event is much more probable
than possible.-AnchOra Times.
