THE DOG COMES INTO HIS OWN.

And now, during the past four years, the dog has given such a proof of his faithfulness to the best tradi- tions of the dog race that all over the world his praises are being sounded. The story of the war-dog and his doings is gradually being pieced together. From the very be- ginning of the war, as one writer has expressed it, dogs "had paw in it." When the Germans invaded Belgium, the harness dogs, which up to that time had been used for hauling milk, vegetables, and other produce, began to assist the refugees in getting their children and household goods out of the invaded country. Later they hauled light artillery, and carts laden with blankets, bread, hay, and scores of other things for the comfort of the soldiers and their horses. Dogs did sentry duty in the trenches, patrolled no-man's land, carried dis patches through barbed wire en- tanglements, amid a hail of bullets, and, above all, added to the laurels of their ancestors through the ages by seeking out and helping the wounded everywhere, on the far flung battlefields of Europe and be-

THE IDEAL WOMAN.

The great Napoleon once said: My ideal woman is not the beautiful featured society belle, whose physi- clan tries in vain to keep her in re- pair, but the matron who reaches middle age in complete preservation that woman is rendered beautiful by perfect health" To attain such health in middle life woman must guard against those ills which drag her down and produce nervousness headache, backaches, sleepelessness and "the blues." The standard rem edy for such conditions is Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for forty-five years has been restoring women to health and strength.

German Describes Turkish Massacre
 of 600 Armenians
(By the Associated Press.)


 Berlin July 29.- What is described as "the truth about the Armenian massacres," is revealed to the German public by the Tageblatt, which prints extracts of book based upon diplo- matic documents which the foreign ministry commissioned Johann Lep- sius to write.
 The writer shows that the Turkish committee of Union and Progress de- liberately decided to realize national ideas by assimilating or destroying the Armenians, who, in Turkey, num- ber about 1,850,000. He declared the arrest and massacre of 500 Ameri- can leaders in April, 1915, and how the preveious so-called Armenian ris- ing was provoked as a pretext for young Turkey schemes.

HOW DOG SAVED
 MASTERS LIFE

Dragged by his collie dog for sew enteen miles through snow-covered region on the desert and mountains, Clint Crawford, cattle puncher, known among his associates as Doe" is still alive according to an account in the Tribune of Goldfield, Nevada. Thrown by his horse Srawford's shoulder was shattered He was de- lirious and remembers only intervals of the struggle against death as he staggered along through the snow. Being exhausted he would have frozen to death in a few hours, but was aroused by his dog. Time after time Crawford sank down in his de- lirium and was giving up the fight. Each time the collie reused him with scratches from his paws and by bit ing him, and then led the way across the unmarked snow toward help. After eleven hours the dog took Crawford to the Rose mine, where medical aid was received.

Advertised to Save
 Time of SalespeOple

New York, July 29.-A big New York drug store has been advertls- ing that it will sell no more liquor until the law against the sale of ln- toxicants may be repealed.
 The purpose of that advertise ment was interesting. The store wanted to save the time of it's sales people-the time required to explain that the story was obeying the law
 These advertisements, like all store advertisements, saved the time of the stores salespeople.
 Advertisements, says the head quarters offices of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, save the time of salespeople by Sorting out" customers for store. Men and women who want certain things do not have to go from store to store in search for the articles of thelr choice. They learn where they can find the goods they want-the style, color and kind, and at the price they can pay-from advertisements. That saves their time, and saves the time of store clerks.
 This, says the advertising associa- tion, is one of the reasons why truth full advertisements pay for them- selves and more. A salesman or salesgirl in store that advertises can, as a rule, sell more goods in a day than those who work in stores which do not tell Mrs. Housewife about their goods in advance of her trip downtown. They sell goods faster. Their days pay is distribut- ed over a greater volume of sales.

SECRETARY OF PEACE LEAGUE.

London, July 29.-Sir Eric Drum mond, the first secretary general of the League of Nations, is man in the early forties, of about middle height, with alert, rather numerous eyes and fine features. He is ex- ceedingly witty, most excellent companion and can sparkle at din- ner party as effectively as he can draft a clause of a treaty.
 Sir Eric is said to possess an aston ishingly complete knowledge of the United States and for some years was a recognized authority in the Foreign office to be consulted on American affairs. He is said to have a gift of international politics that has served his country we'll in several crises.

London, July 29.-The Berlin news papers say that the former German emperor has written to the archbishop of Posen, asking him to preserve the Protestant chapel at Posen castle for Protestant services and not to convert it to Catholic uses.

WHO OWNS THE AIR.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 29.- Whether property owner is also owner of the air above his land is to be determined through a court ac- tion brought by Frederick Hoene- mann, q farmer. He seeks to re- strain company owning airplanes from using the air above his farm.
 Hoenemann contends that sight of the machines and the noise of their engines disturb the livestock
 There is said to be no direct pre- cedent to guide the court, and the case is causing wide discussion in legal circles.
 Legal experts of England have dis cussed the matter from the stand point of national ownership of the air, it is said.
 Some lawyers contend that free dom of the seas and freedom of the air are the same, while others assert the courts have held that ownership carries with 1t light and air above the property as we'll as the each be- heath.
 It is pointed out that when the steam engine came there were many law suits, the plaintiffs contending that the noise as we'll as the danger jeopardized their stock. The Massa- chusetts supreme court, however, rendered the opinion that the loco motive was lawful and in keeping with progress. Attorneys say simi- lar condition arose when motor cars came into use, but the highest court of Indiana ruled in their favor on the grounds that the law must keep pace with progress.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
RACE RIOTS IN CHICAGO.

Certainly, no people regret more sincerely than do those of the South outbreaks of violence, resulting in casualties and property damage, and yet we cannot but consider that out breaks in some sections-as Chicago, for instance are in the way of retri- button.
 It is impossible to forget that Chicago is the home of newspapers which have attacked and misrepres- ented the South and Southern people on. frequent occasions. A lynching in one town would be seized upon to convict the entire South of the in- justice, outlawry and inhumanity.
 The outbreaks in Chicago are diff ferent from any that ever occurred in the South; different from any that will ever occur in the South, we sin cerely hope. Reports from Chicago covering events on Monday show whites and blacks equally guilty. One paragraph would relate an attack by mob of whites upon negroes, and another would describe an assault of whites by negroes-even the women of both races participating in some of the fighting.
 Chicago has been the city that has sought to entice colored people from the South, it's emissaries holding out such lure to some misguided negroes as racial equality" ''equal rights" and anything other promise that might attract the uniformed. These riots have provided just what sort of "equal rights are granted the negro in Chicago. He has "equal right" to spend his money, but when that is gone apparently his erst- while friends CD have no further use for him. There was never an at tempt in the South to keep the negro from labor. In recent riots of Hi nois it is found that whites were de- manding places held by negroes, who had been brought to the city by other whites.
 These riots demonstrate just what The Graphic and sensible leaders of both races often have reiterated; that the best place for the negro is in the South. Here, the negro is under stood. One individual is not held re- sponsible for the misdeeds of another. There is no attempt to keep the negro from earning a livelihood. On the contrary, he receives assistance, and if he gets into trouble not of his own making his white friend is sure to ex- tend him aid.
 The law-abiding, sensible negro can find no better place than the South; he can find no better friends than the Southern people. The thing for leaders of both races to do is to preach proper use of liberty avoid- ance of license, full respect for the rights of others, and to discourage the attempts of aliens in this section to provoke trouble. Any other course is dangerous.

-W. S. !

Some of the harshest critics of the South would be throwing three spasms a minute if the Washington and Chicago rioting there occurred in Southern cities such rioting as has occurred in the national capital and Chicago. But since these have taken place in their own "back-yards," so to speak, full use of the soft pedal" may be anticipated.

NO ONE-MAN CARS
 ARE LIKELY HERE
Present Zone System Proving
 Financially Pleasing

The one-man cars which are now ln use about Hartford and other large cities about the state, made their first appearance yesterday in this city. They were only passing through here, however, bound for New Haven, hav- ing been repaired in the Hartford re- pair shop. Superintendent F. L.. Beardsley of the local trolley lines was asked if the one-man cars would be put in use here and he stated that it was doubtful as the one-man cars were practical on only short line lines, of which there are very few in this city.
 The only short run lines in this city cross the railroad tracks which put one-man cars out of the question as there must be one of the crew to flag crossing and this cannot be done with a One-man car. He did statc however, that it might be possible, as the one-man cars had proved a sue cess in other cities about the state. Some changes would have to be made with respect to the crossing before the cars could be used going north
 The present zone system is proving to be a paying proposition so far, ac- cording 10 statements made by the conductors of the various lines. They state that they are turning in nearly. twice as much revenue under the zone system as they did under the old sys- tenn. They also state that the loss in patronage under the present system runs from only five to ten per cent which is negligible. Superintendent Beardsley was questioned about the revenue returns under the new system but would not commit himself, stating that it was too early tao ascertain the ga in in revenue. The suburban lines are paying well under the new system and the patronage continuas pra ctica fly as good as it did form merIy, he said. The jitney business, it was stated to- day, has not noticeably affected trolley travel, making it evident that most of the people have become reconciled to the new system.
 That the zone system is meeting with more approval by the public is a fact, according to the trolley men, who state that the people no longer are finding fault as they did In the first nor efficient in the handling of the tickets and the public are cooperating assuring the ultimate success of the zone system, making it improbable that the one-man car will be placed on the local lines.

 Directors of the newspapers s,lbse- quently met employees representatives and pointed out to them the difficulty of granting the increase. The possi- bility of increasing the price of the newspapers from two to three cents was discussed.
