St. Bernard Dog Saves
Family and Pet Cat

EVERETT, Mass, Dec. 20
Judson T. Logan and his
family overlooked the family
cat, "Chum," when they made a
hurried escape from their burn
ing home to-day. But "Ted,"
their big st. Bernard, remem-
bered. The dog discovered the
absence of his playmate, rushed
back through the smoke and soon
reappeared with "Chum" in his
mouth.
incidentally, the Logans, as
well as the occupants of another
apartment in the house, give the
dog credit for awakening them
by barking so that they reached
the street before their escape
was cut off by the flames.

police at least broke even with the
criminal element. The machinery set In
motion Saturday by the Commissioner
for the city's greatest roundup was re
ported TO be working well In all bor-
oughs But at the same time, and de-
spite police vigilance. there were several
crimes OF violence. the most serious OF
which was a holdup by masked bandits
on the waterfront. In which an English
seaman was slain merely because he
happened TO be in the way OF the ban
