The RADIO SLUMP

CRAPE-HANGERS are predicting
that the radio craze is booked
tohfizzle out. They are wrong.
Unquestionably, interest in radio
is going through decided slump. Ii
is q natural reaction. The novelty is
wearing eff. Radio is becoming
commonplace. Only a few months
ago it was as great a marvel as tk,a
arrival Of man from Mars.
Interest in the airplane has had
much the same reaction In com
munities where, planes are not un.
common, people still look overhead
when they hear the hum of the stee,
locusts. But they do not look with
the speed that formerly threatened
to dislocate his neck.
Nevertheless, the airplane is forg-
ing ahead RAPIDLY. 1t will be the
same with radio.

fewer barefoot boys. OF course,
there still are many, padding about

explored, gathering scrap iron and

were along those alleys, to keep
youthful pirates out of orchards at
the back of yards large enough to

The alleys are passing. So are
the tall back fences. SO are the

MARK OF ANIMAL AFFECTION
Dogs and Others of the Lower Crea-
lures Lick Mans Hand as a Signal
of Surrender.

When Mr.. Garner spent so many
months living in his iron cage in the
jungles of Africa, studying apes,
monkeys and gorillas, he discovered
that if a monkey licked the body of
another monkey OF Of man, it was a
signal Of surrender.
A traveller in South American woods
along the Amazon shot q monkey. The
poor little beast was badly wounded,
but not dead, when approached. In it's
last agony it licked the hand of the
man who did the mortal injury. The
look and the act gave the traveller a
feeling Of sorrow and regret for his
deed.
With other animals the act of lick
ing indicates something akin to Il am
your friend"
So when a dog ticks the hand of his
master, Or attempts to lick his masters
face, it Is his expression of fidelity, af-
lection and devotion.
The act doubtless hanks back
through the ages of time when the dog
wolf made the choice between man or
other dog-wolves and selected man as
his companion. Out Of the dim past
there remains with the dog this in
stinct, which Is often not understood,
and which Is best and noblest in dog
nature.

Use for Mummified Cats.

Some years ago a considerable trade
was carried on between Great Britain
and Egypt in mummifed cats! The
cat was a semi-sacred creature among
the ancient Egyptians and because
they symbolized wakefulness, stealth
mess and craft they were held to be
special favorites Of the gods of sleep
and Of the land of the dead. When
they died they were carefully treated
by the undertakers of that day, and
after careful embalming were buried
in great vaults. The degenerates, or
more enlightened descendants of the
ancient Egyptians-however one cares
to consider them in their attitude to-
ward their fo%refathers' beliefs-made
merchandise of the mummies of the
cats, and sold them in shiploads to be
ground up and converted into fertiliz-
ers for the soil. There was found to
be no truth in a story that human
remains were occasionally found
among the embalmed pussies.
