ONE THING THEY OVERLOOKED
British Military Authorities Forgot the
Humble Printer In Desire TO Pre-
serve War Secrets.

The marquis OF Harrington tells an
episode from the war days when the
spy scare was at its height. according
to writer In the Halifax Chronicle.
Certain confidential information that
the military authorities wanted to keep
absolutely secret was sent round by
trusted couriers in locked dispatch
boxes, with elaborate precautions OF
signing and conntersigning and check.

rank Of major general was entrusted
with the knowledge. and even these
were bound by tremendous oaths of
secrecy.
After a time II was found that these
weighty documents, which were circu-

up by ordinary printers, who were I'M

The letter told of a man who had

SCISSOR had turned in his books to the
county assessor and the inquirer
wished to know whether there was any
way to get back the dog tax.

DOGS ASSIST LONDON POLICE
Well-Trained Animals Have Been
Found OF Great Help in Appre~
hension of Criminals.

The present wave Of crime has given
an impetus in Great Britain to the
training Of dogs for police purposes.
Police dogs were used TO assist In
bringing the breaker Of laws to justice
before the word police was ever known.
In older days bioodhounds were used
on the borders OF Scotland In certain
districts infested by murderers and
robbers, and tax was laid ON the in
hahitants for maintaining them: also
there was a law In Scotland that who
ever denied entrance to one OF these
dogs should be treated as an accessory
TO the crime
The training of these dogs calls for
a large amount of patience, intelligence
and resource, far removed from the old
idea of dog breaking. which was usual
ly to beat the animal mercilessiy into
the observance of a few set rules.
II is step by step In his daily lessons
that dog gradually becomes a track
er OF criminals by their scent, ,pursues
escaping prisoners, discovers missing
people, or finds suspected ones in con-
cealment.
He learns fearlessly to seize and pull
down any aggressor, whether his mas
ter or himself be attacked, and 10 do 1t
with the least possible damage, ceas-
ing at once when the enemy gives in.
The popular conception of the police
dog is wild, savage brute. which prob
ably accounts for the antipathy TO his
use displayed in some quarters. and II
is well that the public should realize
that the properly trained dog is at all
times perfectly under control.

The earliest pictorial proof of the
use Of the collar proper dates from
Elizabethan times, when ths ruff was
the principal form of neckwear. After
, this gold and silver vellum fringes
were the fashion for considerable
period, these being supplanted by coll
lars similar te those worn today, save
for the fact that they formed part of
the shirt. But this arrangement was
an extrayagant one. As soon as a col
lar was soiled the shirt had to be shed
