British Euil Of Breed, Well-K now n
Ard HonorcG III &nt.euity-
Pceniia- F4cts.
T (Ry c. Bst.eaco1rt)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-I'here
is hardly homo that is without q
dog OF some kind, for since time imme-
mortal he has bean mans most faith
ful and loyal friend. Yet how few OF
US who own dogs know very much
about the history of cur own pet breed.
To me the most beautiful of ali
dogs is the English setter however, the
most interesting and fascinating Is
the bulldog.
The theory IS that he is descendant
Of the Mastiff of so long and ancient
lineage that the beginning os his his
tory cannot be traced The antiquity
OF this breed cannot be questioned
Claudian refers To: 40 British
hound, that brings the bulls big fore
head TO the ground"
Until 1885 bull batting and bear
batting was a fashionable English
sport just as bull fighting is today in
Spain. Hertzner, in his itinerary
printed IN Latin (1598), describes the
performance of bull batting at which
he was present: "There is a place
built in the form of a theatre which
serves for batting of bulls and bears.
They were fastened behind then wor-
ried by great English bulldogs; but
not without risk to the dogs, and it
sometimes happens they are killed on
the spot, fresh ones are Immediately
supplied in the places Of those thai
are wounded o. tired"
In bull batting rope Of about
twenty feet was tied to the bulls
horns and fastened to a stake. The
dogs then worried him, finally grip
ping the bulls tender muzzIe, trained
never to let go.
The average height Of the dog useG
for bull batting was about sixteen
inches and WEIGHING about 4J pounds
while for bear batting the larger dogs
were used. In build he is broad. pow
orful and compact, with short front
legs. His head is square with deep
heavy wrinkles. His heavy under
shot Jaw enabled him to grin with an
almost unbreakable hold. His black,
wide. recee1ing nose enabled him TO
breathe while holding on. The bull
often whirled his light hind quarters
through the air in wild effort to
throw him off.
When bull batting was made illegal.
in 1885, dog fighting became the fad
and when that in turn STONED. very
little interest was taken in the breed
ing OF bulldogs.
From his early history. one would
believe the bulldog to be the most VI
cious of mis- species but this IS not
true. He is not auarrelsome, his de-
votion is unouesticnable, p splendid
watch dog, silent in his attack and
real companion. He is affectionate

Governor Hardee OF Florida, il
advocating uniform marriage and
divorce laws among the states,
urged that instead of depending
too much on the national govern
mert the states should adopt uni
form laws on many matters OF III
ter-state interest but not prlnarl-
" OF federal concern.
This belief has been expressed
in various ways by different lead
ers in recent years. The federal
government has been overwhelm-
ed OF late with legislation and de
mands for legislation on subjects
which the states could handle Tor
themselves. There has been COM
plant of uSurpation OF authority
on the part of the national gov
ernment and of TOO much centrali-
zation. State executives, IN occa-
sional instances, have been accused
OF throwing up their hands too
quickly and calling for federal
heip when faced with difficult sit
uations.
Putting through uniform state
laws on such matters as marriage
and divorce, education, child Ia
Dor. and so on, is bound to be slow
work. 1t requires a greater
amount of public education and
more concentrated attention and
interest on the part OF individual
citizens. But the fulfilling CT
those very requirements would
make for more enlightened and IN
telligent understanding OF such
problems and for prompter aston
in meeting them wisely,

Violent Fluctuations All Day in Sterling

NEW YORK. Dec. is.-sterling ex- change went through period of violent fluctuation In todays market touching S4.69A, increase of 6L cents over Tuesdays close and the highest price re- corded since March. 1919 and then falling back to s4.6s7s in the late afternoon deal ings.
 Most foreign exchange dealers here frankly confessed their inability to explain the recent rise in the British rate. but in some quarters there a belief that manipulation by the British government was responsible. It was reported but not ltshed reserve fund of between $400, 0O0,- eco and $500. 100000 ostensibly to facilitate payment of interest on the British war debt and funding of the principal and that this fund had been used to strengthen the sterling rate part of a campaign to bring it back to par Rumors also were in circulation that huge British loan was in the process of negotiation to f. nance purchases of foodstuffs and raw ma terials. but these too lacked confirma- tiof.
 Balancing of Great Britain,s budget and the steady improvement in her foreign trade undoubtedly have been factors In the upward trend of British remittances leads to rather general belief that '.po- litical and speculative" influences are the man factors in the recent rise.
 When sterling started to off around midday, Dutch guilders bounded up to parity. 40.20 cents, for the first time since May. 1919 A new high for the year also registered by Japanese exchange at 4e05. French, Belgian and Italian re- mittances improved slightly.

BUYING IS AGAIN IN EXCHANGE ASCENT EVIDENCE IN THE ADDS BUOYANCY COTTON MARKET TO WHEAT PRICES
By Associated Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 13,-Buoyancy which developed in the wheat market today ap- peared 10 be chiefly related to the ascent of sterling exchange. All deliveries of wheat eclpsed previous high price rec ords of the season. The finish was un- settled at 1ts@2asc net gain, With May
 $1.23A Q1.2318 and July $1141A q 1.14%. Corn gained B91%c and oats # Q he. In provisions the outcome varied from Dc decline to a rise of 7c.
 The foreign exchange rate was such that, although wheat at Liverpool was n some cases quoted a full perny lower, the actual value of the cereal there as fig ured here was Pc bushe higher. Buns contended that the upward course or sterling was an indication of q return to normalcy and were disposed also to re- gard a rise in Argentine wheat quotations as being largely due to betterment in rates of exchange.
 Specuators Busy
 Increased purchasing by speculators was ascrIbed to some extent to review by trade authority dwelling on shortage or world production of wheat as compared with last year. Sellers were for the most part holders who were in position to realize profits.
 Corn and oats as well as wheat touched new top prices for the season. Rural of ferings lacked volume.
 In the provision market buying by shorts virtually offset the bearish influence of lower hog values here and break ip the price of lard at Liverpool.
