Dogs Appetite

Refusal of dogs to eat when of
only food which they dislike has
been recognized as feature of cd
temperament. Some observers
clare, indeed, that dogs occasit
starve to death rather than eat

new models, as pictured above, offer
the matrons a choice of styles that
are simple and distinctly different
from each other. The dress of crepe
de chine at the left makes much Of
its wide sash and its long under
sleeves finished with handsome lace
that falls partly over the hand. The
vestee of tucked batiste and the lace
collar display these two details in a
new treatment. On the tall model the

A brown satin dress with long side

with girdle. Handsome lace forms
the finish for the neck and sleeves.
Either of these models might be
chosen by the mother Of bride or

cornerstone Of the American naval
limitation plan, will leave much to be
decided, It does not follow, in the
opinion Of American Conference off,
cisls, that the Conference itself will
have to pass on all that rnust be done.
The remaining work on naval mat
ters, Il Is said, naturally divides itself
into two classes. They are decisions
iuvolving policy and those merely deal
ing with details under policies already
approved.
The Conference must act on all
policy questions. In that group lie the
Franco. Italian naval ratio determine
ton, the British desire TO reduce the
tonnage of each Power In submarines
ard possibly to limit the size Of future
submeribles. the suggested modification
of the tcn-year naval holiday plan to
permit some building as necessary for
protection of shipbuilding knowledge
and skill. and final determination of
feet ratios in airplaue carriers.
In the other group, It is expected,
will be found such questions as agree
ments to the methods Of scrapping ships
slated for destruction, ways and means
to control conversion Of merchant craft
into war vessels in wartime, rules OF
warfare as applying to new agencies
such as submarines, aircraft and poison
gas: specific agreement as to feet ratios
in other auxiliary ships beside sub
marines and airplanc carriers.

leave some Of those points to expert

ordinary diplomatic channels.
A particular point in the latter class
is the method TO be followed in scrap
ping capital ships. That necessarily
Involves such disposition of the vessels
as will make them impossible Of ready
reconversion into warcraft.
