templates a busy afternoon there
Male dogs are licensed at Sl.O0. fe-
males at $500.
1t is necessary for all dogs licensed
TO wear their license tag, for after
July 81, any dog found not wearing
his license tag will be taken up by
the Constable and carried to the dog
pound, if not called for and fine paid
within a given time the canine will
be disposed of.
Because of the hardness OF dog
owners in obtaining license for their
dogs, the County Commissioners al
a recent meeting found il necessary
TO appoint constables to conduct a
dog census of the county, with the
view of enforcing the provisions OF
the Statewide dog license law, which
was designed chiefly to prevent
worthless CANNES from running at
large and destroying sheep and
fowl, and otherwise making them
selves a nuisance.
The pay of the demonstrating con-
stables is placed upon the basis OF
25 cents for each and every dog IL
eensed, and the name of the owner
returned: and a SO bonus for every

thereof. The law among other
things, provides that owners of dogs,

special officers or constables to dis

INBOUND RUSH OF
ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS
Hoffman Island Detention Sta

Averaging 1000 A Day
OFFICIALS KEPT BUSY
lnr rhe A..oe,ated Press.l

NEW YORK, July 20.-Hofiman Is
land. detention station of the New
York quarantine service, now has an
average transient population of more
than 1000 a day due 10 the inbound
rush of Italian immigrants.
In addition. five doctors attached to
the station have given up all thoughts
of vacation and are working, one OF
the quarantine officials said. to the
limits of human endurance in yaccin-
iating, fumigating and inspecting pro-
spective citizens and their families.
The reason for the unusual call for
the services of Hoffman Islapd is said
to be a misunderstanding on the part
of Italian officials and steamship
companies respecting United States
Public Health regulations. Travellers
from districts where typiIs and other
;ransmittable diseases prevail are
supposed to be "deloused. examined
and certified as clean by American
public Health officers before they
board the ship.
These regulations are not being
complied with, officials here claim and
therefore the delousing and fumigat-
ing must be done before the traveller
is landed. The expense of the work
hers is charged to The steamship
companies,
During the last week more than halt
dozen ships have arrived from ports
where typhus carrying suspects could
be taken on board. All of these ships
nave been detained ia quarantine
while the steerage passengers, num-
bering from one to 1000 On each ship
were taken off on barges landed al

As hours.
During the detention they are COM
PEELED to take thorough bath from
the tops of their head to the soles OF
their feet. Their clothing, baggage
and effects are put through bath OF

rivals are taken to Ellis Island for ex-
animation by immigration authorities
as to their qualifications.

TRUCKING UP At
CHICAGO CONFAB
Transport Problems of Big
Cities to Be Threshed.

CHICAGO, June PA conference has
been called in Chicago for juno &c and
27 by organizations representing carriage
companies in practically every important
American city
The purpose is to organize national
association for the clearing of all prob
lens connected with motor truck trans
port and allied matters.
During the last two years the CONNER
cial hauling field has been called into
action to far greater extent than ever
before to augment freight transportation
facilities so constantly overtaxed.
This created many problems such as
the construction of highways powc~ III
enough to stand up under heavy ~ Is.
study Of automotive construction ele-
ments, research in operating costs and
edualizations of loads problems eon-
nected with the necessity for co-opera-
ton between commercial fhaulers In diff
ferent cities in order TO keep hauling
equipment supplied with return loads
from long distances and many other mat
ters vital to this industry,
Meetings will be held at LaSalle hotel,
under the auspices of the Detroit Trans
portation association, and delegates will
attend representing commercial hauling
associations from Iowa, KENTUCKY, Mich
igan, New York. Indiana, California,
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Missouri, Massaehu-
sets, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Oregon,
Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, Nebraska
and other states
1t Is the ultimate hope Of those direct
ing this movement to place the carriage
industry of America on a basis where
Il can relieve the pressure on other meth
DDS of moving commodities, where the
older established arteries are now over
taxed.

Of so much Of the entrance examination
as is covered.
1t has been provided also that candi-
dates passing the mental examinations
will not be compelled. to come to An
napolis for physical examinations, but
may take these examinations before
boards Of naval surgeons ut various
points throughout the country.
The status of the academy in regard
to class routine has resumed the con-
dition as it existed prior to the war
except for the fact that the present first
class, which will graduate next June,
represents only half of the membership
as it entered during the summer of 1917.
The other half constituted the class
which has just been graduated, the third
class of the previous year having been
equally divided, on a scholastic basis, to
supply a first and second class. The lat
ter class was omitted in order to shorten
the course to three years during the
war.
After the graduation Of the next class,
in June, 1921, the old order will be re-
stored. with four classes of the normal
size and four years work leading to
graduation.

After that they all had a merry lunch,

"You know" said Mrs. Porker, as #
reading his thoughts, that Pigs are
really the cleanest OF animals, only by
shutting them in small pens they have
been made to appear just the opposite.
Yes" she continued. when pigs are al
lowed to run around they are as clean as
they can be. Only when they are little
they are often very disobedient," and she
looked at Piggie, who got very red in the
face.
