BULL ATTACKS FIRE TRUCK
Enraqed Animal Makes Up for Lack
of Excitement at Lorain, Ohio,
Blaze.

Lorain, O.-Bulls and fire trucks
they'll never be companions.
Members Of No. / fire company here
firmly believe this following the out
fits act in collding with perfectly
husky bull while running to fire.
Members of the company didn't in
vestigate the extent of the animals
injuries for the simple reason that
Mister Bull. enraged at the fiery red
which adorns the fire-fighting appar-
atus, plunged toward the truck, AS
sistant Fire Chief Jack Hart, riding
on the rear of the truck, didn't hest
tate to order Leo Billings, driver, to
make It snappy.' Billings obeyed,
After following the truck for 100 feet
the bull dipped sand with his tail and
went through the usual bullish antics.
The firemen avoided the bull lane
ON the return trip to the station.

Life Is not SO short but that there is
always room for courtesy-Emerson.
CTRICTLY speaking the invitation
- bidding a young man to be the
guest of household should come
from the mother or wife, or whoever
acts as hostess of that household.
Actually one young man often invites
a chum of his to be a guest for a
day or two, and the mother does not
send the letter of invitation that the
strictest good form would demand.
There is no great crime in this, only
the young man who writes the invita-
tion should word it SO as to make it
evident that his mother extends the
hospitality, and in answering the in
vitation the one invited should be sure
to bear this fact in mind and whether
he has met the hostess-to-be or not
he should express his gratitude to her
for her kindness in wishing him to be
a guest.
If you have visited in the house be-
fore it is courteous to take to your
hostess, or have sent, so that it reaches
her shortly before you do, with your
card enclosed, few flowers or some
bonbons.
Never smoke without gaining per-
mission of your hostess. If there are
no other smokers in the family do not
ask for permission.
If you see that others make habit
Of smoking In the house then you may
ask for permission to smoke even
though none of the others are smoking
at the time.
Do not plan to accept outside in
vitatiOns or to leave the house when
you are guest without consulting
your hostess. She may have some
thing arranged for the same day and
hour. If you are to have very i'm
portant business engagements that
cannot be broken during your visit
you should make the fact known at
once so that no plans will be made for
the time involved.
Remember that while you are the
guest of the family you should show
many little courteous attentions to the
women of that family. Ii there are
young daughters it would be decidedly
rude to devote yourself markedly to
some other young woman whom you
perhaps might feel more interested in
than in the young women of the family
where you are visiting.
Remember that it is just as i'm
p0rtant and necessary for the young
man to write bread-and-butter letter
to his hostess as 1t is for a young
woman to do This letter should be
written within one or two days of your
departure. A married man may leave
this to his wife to attend to but the
unmarried man must write for him
self. even though perhaps he has
sister who has been guest of the
same household and is willing to in
clude his expression of gratitude In
her note.

PARROT AS MUSICAL CRITIC
pet Of Jean de Rsszke, Famous
teacher, minces No Words When
Singing DispIeases Him.

Probably the most respected and
reared parrot In the world is that green.
FEATHER little autocrat known as Coco
which is the pet and inseparable COM
panion of Jean de Reszke. For Coco
mas acquired an ear for music and he
makes his likes and dislikes known
especially the dislikes-in a most en-
phattc manner. Nor does he mince his
words. With Coco voice is either
good or rotten-there is no middle
ground-and when he forms the latter
opinion, look out
Inc. story of De Reszke and his mar
rot is told by pupils of this great figure
In the music world who have been ac-
cepted In the studio he has established
IN france since his retirement twenty
years ago.
10 begin with, Coco is entitled TO
special consideration In the Nice villa
because he was the pet of De Reszke,s
only son, who was killed In the war
II was after that tragedy that Coco and
.he father of the dead boy became such
Iast friends. And this friendship be-
came so warm that Coco not only was
Perlnitted free access to his masters

the teaching hours. which sometimes
last from 10 In the morning until 8 at
night, apparently as deeply interested
In the work as Is De Reszke himself.
At first Coco merely perched and
looked as wise as it is possible for a
parrot to look. but as the months wore
on he began to feel his Importance
and gradually he began taking hand
in the teaching. And now he Yields
a power all his own.
If one of De Reszke's forty pupils
sings passage In poor form the master
probably will draw attention to the fact
something after this fashion. THAT
was not as good as usual. We must
try 1t again"
But the parrot from his perch cries
out something like this:
'You blockheadl Try again. You
can't do worse. Poor blockheadl You
help to make a sad world"
And when a pupil sings particularly
well the bird gives praise, but 1t is not
nearly so emphatic or pointed as his
criticism, for 1t consists mainly of a
gurgling noise and the rubbing Of his
head against the masters cheek, so that
his manifestation of praise must be ex-
planned to the pupil, while the blame
never requires elucidation.-New York

The discussion Of this Bill in the
senate on July 8 was left almost en-
tirely in the hands Of the opposi-
ton. Senator Freltnghuysen pre-
scented the letter from Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon which has been
given so much publicity by the
press in opposition to the bill. SEN
ator Underwood who tried to stop
the consideration OF the bill made
a lengthy argument against 1t, but
was interrupted a number Of times
by Senator McCumber who has the
bill in charge. On July z Senator
Pittman OF Nevada made very
able argument in favor Of the bill.
Senator Myers OF Montana argued
against it, but was interrupted a
number of times by other senators,
some Of whom are In favor OF the
bill. The press reports OF the de-
bate did not mention the argument
by Senator Pittnan or any other
senator In favor Of the bill, which
shows that the public is only being
shown the one side OF the argument
The last copy of the American Le-
gion Weekly has a long article In
favor OF the bill. Edwin s. Bettle-
