Gil 1t will cost s1.4s2.. Several
claims hav come before the city
during the past year by persons who
have asked q financial adjustment.
1t is thought that by this insurance

be up to the insurance company to
settle the claim in case the city is
sued and is forced to pay damages.

Harold was going to get out to the
golf course alone, but just as he was
leaving, Mlnnie's new trousers were de-
livered.
"Lamech and lived happily togeth-
er many years, lut he never played n
game of any kind after we were mar
ried except one. We went to the Vol
unteer Firemen's picnic and he played
baseball for two or three minutes. He
was laid up four days.

him warning to get the hay in Off the

Harold reads the forecasts to see If
the weather is likely to be bad enough
to make him go to the office.

TRUE TO MASTER
Dogs Fidelity Greater Than De-
sire fer Life.
No Temptation Could Lure Him From
Guardianship of Body of Man
He Loved.

"Dog!" used as an epithet applied to
human is a '7hghtlng word" But
after having read in California daily
a news item Of Bob, 1 feel that the
term should no longer bear insult.
Bob was common Airedale terrier,
but his story shames numerous pages
of human history. His is not an ordi-
nary tale Of fidelity unto death; 1t is
different.
Bob's master and a companion went
for a hunt along the edge of the Mo
jave desert. Days passed, yet they
did not return home. When search
Ing party came to the end Of the trail
In their little camp both hunters were
dead. There had been a tragedy. Only
Bob knows what happened, but cir
cumstances seem to lead to the belief
that his master had accidentally shot
his companion In the back, then, In a
moment of anguish, put the rifle to his
own head.
Bob was left alone with the dead.
Although he was an expert hunter, he
could not leave his silent master even
to catch one of the numerous rabbits
scurrying through the brush. Soaring
lazily in the blue above watched a vul-
ture. He knew that Death had passed.
Already on the ridge above the camp
two coyotes licked their chops in antici-
patton.
Five days and five nights Bob kept
their feast.
When the searchers came up, a
dozen vultures swished out of the
brush and the coyotes slipped over the
ridge Bob was whining near his mas
ter's ear; he had grown too weak to
stand.
Yes, Bob's story was different: he
was faithful after death.
Only fifty miles from the scene of
this tragedy history records one great
er. Less than fourscore years ago a
party of men, women and children,
crossing the mountains. stayed hunger
with the flesh of their fallen COM
rades. Had Bob done likewise the res
cuers would undoubtedly have shot
him ANONYMOUSLY. But he had not
initiated man.
Since Bob was only a dog, why did
he not satisfy his hunger as have
numerous explorers and shipwrecked
sailors? Or, why did he not abandon
his silent companions to chase the
taunting desert rabbit which he could
have outdistanced with ease?
Since Bob cannot make known his
thoughts to man, no one will ever
know just why he suffered hunger
while there was abundant food in
sight.

the United States. With President
Harding speeding westward and Vice
President Coolidge summering in New

Canada's Minister to United States

Finally this view prevailed and an
agreement was made whereby the
Canadian minister should have pleni-
potentiary powers and also should be
the deputy of British ambassador In
case of his absence. No appointment
was made, however, the reason as
signed being that a suitable man for
the position could not be found.
Since the government changed in
1921 the matter has remained in statu
quo. The reason put forth by the lib
erals was also the difficulty of secur-
ing man properly equipped intel
lectually, automatically, and material
particularly the last-for the post.
The government, however, has indi-
Gated that the proposal of the Cana
dian minister being deputy of the am
bassador was not to their liking, it
being feared that complications might
readily result from such action.
Another consideration is the atti-
tude of the other domlnions and how
they would regard Canada having a
representative there with plenipoten-
tiary powers, although the adjacency
of this dominion to the United
States places it in a position ut
terly dissimilar from the rest of the
British commonwealth.

st. Louis. President Harding
placed before the country a renewed
plea for American adherence to the
Permanent Court of Industrial JUS
tice "as the one and only existing
agency of peace to which we can
safely subscribe without violating the
basic principles of our national being"
Making the first prepared address
of his Western trip, the President
said that to bring about the end he
desired he would gladly wipe out
factional differences" and proposed a
reconstruction of the machinery of the
international tribunal ito dispose con-
clusively of all other cited apprehen-
slons of danger from the exercise Of
any influence whatsoever, either open
or furtive, by the League of Nations
or by any other organization"
Then anticipating "the voice of the
doubter," who might inquire whether
the forty nations now represented on
the court would consent to these
changes in the structure of the trl-
bunal, Mr.. Harding answered that "to
submit terms which we consider es-
sential to the preservation Of our ma
tionality is not an act Of discourtesy !;
it is the only fair, square and honor
able thing n great self-respecting ma
ton can do"
The crux of the conditions suggested
the President described as ''the making
of the world court precisely what its
name implies.
"Can it be possible that, despite their
protestations to the contrary, this is
not what some of our sister states at
heart desire?" He asked, Must there
be a test of sincerity abroad as well
as at home? Then the more quickly
it can be made the better for them and
the better for us. There is nothing to
be accomplished by ambiguity. We
want to know. And the only way to
find out is to inquire"
The President devoted virtually all
of his address to the world court is
sue, but he also reviewed briefly what
had been done by his administration
to get the country back on the right
track" in it's domestic affairs. AL
though declaring he did not come to
make a partisan report" he said he
took pride in pointing out that unem-
ployment had been "banished," finan-
cial stability restored, taxes lightened,
and great economies effected in gov
ernment.
Washington's farewell address was
taken by the chief executive as his
point of departure when he turned to
foreign relations. American adhesion
to the court, he said, squared with the
principles enunciated by Washington,
who recognized the value of interna-
tional arbitration.

the merits of various types of fight
ing weapons, and has sought opinions
from officers of every school, from the
old bitter-enders who believe that
weight and metal is the cardinal fac
tor in seafghting to the extremists
who would carry the fleet into the
air. Summed up by opinions issued
In the Navy News manifesto, the
board believes that "aviation as a
vital branch of the service cannot be
pushed too strongly, but at the same
time the surface fleet must be round
ed out to the 5-5-3 ratio provided for
by the naval treaty"
Secretary DENLY points out that
once the battleship is accepted as
doomed by aircraft supremacy, the
logical conclusion must be to scrap all
ships since the floating craft must
speedily be extinct This is not true,
he warns, and since the battleship is
still the most powerful weapon of a
fleet, the ships which float upon the
sea are a nations strongest power.
"The tremendous Importance of the
new weapon, the airplane, is clear" )"
he says. Every effort is being made
to develop 1t and make 1t as effective
as possible for offense and defense.
The place of the airplane in armies
and navies is assured and vital but
the ships that float upon the sea are
still the nations strongest power"

Proper Way to Blow Nose.

He didn't know how to blow his nose.
This is the reason given for the death
Of the Partisan actor, D'Aragon, a few
days ago. Furthermore, it is asserted
nine persons out of ten are just as
ignorant. The explanation is that
D'Aragon when blowing his nose
pinched both nostrils, thereby blocking
air passages and forcing the germs of
grippe, from which he suffered, into the
vessels leading to the brain. Menin-
gifts resulted. The French press now
warns the public to pinch only one
rostril at a time and thus leave the
other open for the escape Of air and
germs.
