PUZZLE FOR LOVERS OF DOG
rect Time, When the Clocks Had
Been Advanced?

Perhaps because Of his power of
speech, the parrot is usually regarded
as amazingly wise. But many dumb
creatures often display just as re-
markable intelligence.
Can dog judge time? This Is one
Of the subjects upon which some light
is thrown in Dogs, Birds and Others, ="
by II. J. Massingham.
A terrier had been in the habit of
jumping on his masters bed and awak-
ening him each morning at seven
o'clock. When the clocks had been
advanced an hour for summer time,
the man was anxious to see what the
dog would do.
Next morning, as usual, the animal
jumped upon the bed. The clock was
at seven exactly, although really it
was only six o'clock. Had the dog
counted the strokes of the clock when
it struck, or had he understood about
the clocks being put on?

CAMPAIGN FOR MILK INSPECTION PROBABLY
 WILL GET RESULTS

Meridian, Miss April 6.-(Special.)-- The fight by the women's organiza- tions of Meridian for the past two or three years for the employment of a milk inspector is about to be won.
 Representatives of practically every civic organization of the city have the formed the mayor and members of the city council that if the finances of the municipality will not permit of the em- ployment of an inspector the needed amount will be raised by public sub scription. This has been the only req son of the city administration for not employing an inspector. and Mayor Parker told the representatives of the organizations that when the city bud get for the year was completed in the next few days he could say whether the city could take on the additional expense.
 The mayor was assured that if the municipality was unable to provide the necessary funds they would be raised by the different organizations at once, as the people of Meridian would not longer be deprived of the services of single person whose ef- forts meant so much to the health of the babies of Meridian.
