DOG TRAINED TO SMUGGLE
BOOZE INTO L. S. FROM MEXICO

Ingenious MeXicans working in
conjunction with confederates on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande, taught
a dog to smuggle whisky, or tequila,
and were very successful until the
border guard became weary of at
tempting to capture the dog and
shot him while he was swimming
the river.
Each evening the dogs departure
from Mexico was marked by flash
of lights on the Mexican side, an
swered by flash on the American
side.
For weeks border guards tried to
lasso or capture him with some
liquor strapped on his back, being
loath TO kill an innocent offender OF
the law. After all efforts failed. the
animal was killed while swimming
the Rio Grande. During his busy
life the dog made from ~ to 10
trips night from Mexico to the
United States and each time carried
gallon or more of liquor.

taught to teach others and how to
judge their own and Others bread

SANDS OF THE SEASHORE
EMIT BARK LIKE A DOG

At certain points along our sea
coasts vocal sands" are found in
patches, exhibiting a phenomenon
that has never been very satisfac-
torily explained. The beach at Man
chester, n. H.. is famous for them.
These sands, when Try, yield a pc
culiar sound if struck by a foot. or
even when struck by the hand. At
the same time a tingling sensation is
felt by the fingers or by bare toes.
The sound resembles the distant
barking of a dog. and it may some
times be heard at a distance OF 100
feet.
The most remarkable singing
sands" are found on the island OF
Kauai. in the Hawaiian group. By
clapping them between the hands a
faint hooting noise is produced. But
the hootlike sounds are greatly in
tensified by putting a quantity in a
bag and slamming It about.

ley that there is no material damage
to the fruit in that section. Accord
ing to the Grants Pass Courier, F.
D. Eisman of Rogue River stated
that as usual the scare about the
frost taking all the fruit is much
worse than real facts would war
rant. Mr.. Eisman states that the
prospects for a full crop of fruit are
excellent, according to his investiga-
tiOns, and that he doubts that the
damage in other districts is as ser-
Gus as first reports had indicated.

To relieve any confusion that may
exist in the minds Of former service

made by Director X. G. Chomeley-
Jones Of the Bureau OF War Risk In

instatement of lapsed or cancelled

only two months premiums on the
amount of insurance to be reinstated,

health as at the date of discharge or
expiration of grace period which
ever is the later date, and so states

The provision that discharged ser
vice men are permitted to reinstate
at any time within three calendar
months following the month of dis
charge by merely paying the two
months premiums, without making
a formal application or a statement
as to health is also still In force.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect a man until he ac-
tually reinstates. II he waits he
Lay not be in as good health as he
was at the time of discharge and
