DOGS HELPED TO WIN WAR
Part Played by Pets Of the American
Soldiers Should by No Means
Be Overlooked.

A bewilderlng mass of printed mat.
ter is accommodating which bears upon
the relative and intrinsic usefulness
of various agencies which contributed
to the welfare and comfort of the
American army in France. There is
also much discussion Of the part
which French women and children
played in mitigating the loneliness
and hardships of service far from
home. But little has been said of the
service rendered by French dogs.
Some authorities claim that on the
average there was a pet dog to every
company Of soldiers averaging 260
men, at the outset. This would make
1000 dogs for 100000 men, or 5000
dogs for the entire American army
in France when the armistice was
signed.
1t is quite possible that these thou
sands Of pets contributed more to the
winning of the war than all Of the
dogs used for scouting and watching,

soldiers and carry frst-aid comfort to
them where they lay, In obscure places
not easily discovered by human sense.
For the pets helped nightly in keep
ing up the morale of men tired and
battered b.. the hard work Of the cam
paIgn. They were ION the Job" all the
time. They were a moral tonic and
they taught. as fine dogs always do,
the kind Of devotion and loyalty which
is the very soul Of a good army.
If 5000 dogs, or only 5000. were
kept as pets by American soldiers in
France 1t is certain that they pro-
vided millions Of houI- Of pleasure
for weary men and soothed a multitude
Of homesick hearts. They typiaed the
affection which does not grow cold,
the faith which never wavers, and such
st~eadfastness was good for fighting
men to think about, In an alien land,
close to battle and the chance Of death.

HOW Men Make Love
BY JUNE ELvIDGE

The society lover is perhaps the
least satisfactory of all the types of
who seek the owe of m
Blase, and more or less world
weary, even We younger set of society
men take the marriage game much
for granted. 1t is a game to resort
to when one has finished most other
interesting things in life.
The zest of lNye making has as Of
ten as no been lost in the pursuit of
many other women, before the society
nan decides it Is time to settle
down" and get himself a Wife"
There are plenty of exceptions. of
course. but the girl who is in the so
whirl' n must pick her life
partner from a restricted circle of
wealth and fashion is less likely to Sc
cure a satisfactory lover and husband
the girl in humber circumstan-
ces.
Making love for the fun of the game
has usually become a fine art to the
society man. What he has to offer the
girl whom he finally decides to honor
is little indeed.

fisher alike, and once seated, she was
In reality the ruler of that Syrian city
for a year.
In the old days the city of Byblos,
or Gabal, was famous for the art Of its
stone cutters, and in the Book OF
Kings these Giblites are mentioned as
the stone "sQuarers" employed by King
Solomon upon the temple. But 1t was
mainly for the annual festivities held
ut Byblos, and known as the Mysteries
Of Ad6nis, that the city was most
famed. There was lorated there a
splendid temple to Adonis, and In the
spring Of each year hundreds OF per
sons from all parts Of Syria and the
adjacent lands %journeyed to the city
to witness the celebration of the mys-
teries
The soil Of the and at the headwater
Of the river Is Of red clay. and when
the spring rains began to fall in the

The priests said Adonis had been slain
The myth was variously told. but brief

ing killed while hunting and his re-
storation to life by Jupiter at the
prayer of V9nus.
When the water of the river became
red the people began to lament the
death of Adonis. Streets and houses
were draped with mourning and the
people went about weeping and lament
ing. This lasted a week. Then a great
funeral procession formed and q
wooden image Of the god was carried
to the river, where II was set adr3ff
to float out to sea.
Then began the unique and interest
ing part Of the ceremonies. The young
women of the city assembled along the
seashore and all day gazed out over
the waves. Sometimes several days
we're consumed in THIS part of the cere-
mony for the watch must be kept until
an expected message was received
from the waves.
Finally, far out. one might behold an
object bobbins up and down 90 the
