Auto Duty Is
India Protest

Calcutta. May IA. P. by MaiD-
The imposition Of a thirty percent
import duty on motor vehicles com
ing INTO British India has brought
out vigorous protest from the India
Motor Trade Association.
The argument is advanced that an
enormous class, in urgent need of
modern transportation, has been pre-
Guided from buying. and that the
lower priced American cars are not
meetlng the situation. Motor i'm
ports were lower in 1922 than in 1914,
1915. and 1916.
The development of road trans
port is Of special importance in a.
country with limited railroads, the
association says. and India will suffer
serious consequences If this restric-
ton upon industrial development Of
the country is not removed.

Less Dog-Meat
For IgOrOts

Manila, May liza. P. by Mail)
The dog market Of Baguio has dis
appeared entirely and the eating Of
dogs by the Igorots, non Christian
tribe inhabiting the mountain prov
ince, has been reduced to a minimum,
according to Colonel Henry Knauber
head of the constabulary academy at
Baguio.
and hogs has turned the Igorots, who
formerly ate dogs, into eaters of
meats recognized by the civilized
world as eatable," said Colonel
Knauber. ''These people had to have
some kind of meat and years ago the
only animal they knew was the dog.
When civilization introduced cattle
and domestic hogs to these mountain
people, they quit eating dogs. Only
few scattering cases Of dog eating
have been reported for some time,
and these were among the peoples
living far back in the hills"

Next Meeting unci 10 A. M Tuesday,

tectors and friends. History records
that in our recent conflict, dogs saved
countless lives, performed many acts
of bravery and devotion, and in their
death were fittingly honored by their
human companions. Unlike men.
however, dogs always are loyal and
unselfish. and daily they perform
acts Of service and heroism that add
new laurels to their fame.
1.-THE fair names Of our State and
Nation have not been furnished be-
cause their flags were placed at half
mast out of respect to one of Gods
humble, but noble, creatures. A fit
ting tribute has been paid to my
dog and to the dogs of ages past, a
tribute well deserved but long de-
ferred.
Il doubt if many would criticize
our President should he order the
White House Flags lowered in men,
DRY of his 'Iaddie Boy; nor do
believe many will take exception to
the Governor of Names doing like
wise for his faithful companion
Garry" I seek to offend the feel
ings of none, but I yield to none my
right to act according to the dictates
of my heart.
1t was my desire and my plan to
nave IHe lldSS lowered during the
period of "Garry's" journey home
ward to the graves Of his ancestors
at my Island home. This desire was
fulfilled and this plan executed. 1t
may be that the comments made
upon my action will arouse our peo-
pie to new realization of their
responsibilities to dumb animals; if
this be so one Of my purposes will
have been ACCOMPLISHED
Il firmly believe that when the
men and women Of this State and
Nation think through what I have
done they will see that a lesson in
the appreciation of dumb animals has
been taught and that my act height
ems the significance of our flag as an
emblem of human achievement that
has been made possible largely
through the faithful services and
sacrifices of dumb animals.
Il should esteem it an honor, when
my time comes. to have tho same
Capitol flags that were lowered for
my dog lowered for me. 1t is nv
prayer that 1 always may be as un-
selfish, and as loyal to my Master.

The Flag,
The Dog, and
The Governor

Governor Percival L. Baxter OF
Maine answers those who objected
to his half-masting the flags at the
State Capitol, Augusta. upon the
death of his faithful Irish setter dog,
Garry"
Il yield to no one in my respect
and reverence for our Flag. 1t
flies over us all, grown-ups and chill
dren, civilian and soldier, rich and
poor, and none have rights in it not
possessed by all. Our flag recog-
nizes no distinction Of race, creed,
occupation, or station, and every
living creature that serves man is
entitled to it's protection. It's spirit
is all embracing.
Loyalty and unselfishness are the
browning virtues, and where can
these be found in purer form than in
mans best friend, the dog! He
never falters in his devotion; never
questions nor complains. Hunger,
thirst and privation to him are
nothing if he can share them with
his master. and comfort him in his
distress. A dog asks no reward
other than to be in the presence
and confidence Of his human COM
panions.
1.-THE loyalty and unselfishnes of q
dog well may put most men to
shame, for few are as loyal to their
Heavenly Master as is the humble
dog to his earthly one. My faithful
dog, unlike many of my human
friends. never betrayed nor believed
Ill of me. In all his life he never
was mean or dishonorable: can this
be said of many humans? If all
men would acquire the outstanding
virtues of the dog. great happiness
soon would be spread broadcast over
this sordid world.
MY Garry was a part Of my
life, for my dogs constitute my i'm
recognized as member Of my
estate House Family" as much as
any OF us who work beneath the
dome Of the Capitol. There was no
reflection upon human kind. nor was
any dissertation done, by the lower
ing of our flag for a few short
hours while I bore my trusted COM
panion to his last resting place.
After it all was over and chapter
of my life closed, issued orders to
raise the flag to its accustomed
place.
"Our flag pre-eminently is the
emblem of peace. rather than the
battlef1ag Of war: for peace Is
Its record in war is inspiring, but its
record in peace equals. If not sur
passes it. 1t has protected the weak
from the strong: it has stood for
justice among nations. and 1t Is our
flag that ultimately will bring peace
to the world. Our flag is the STAN
dard of the civilian equally as it is
of the soldier. both of whom have
endured sufferings and made sacri-
fees that 1t may fly freely in the
breeze. 1t symbolizes the virtues Of
peace, as 1t does the heroisms Of
war. The civilian has the same
claims upon it as has the warrior,
and the humbles.. citizen shares its
glory equally with the proudest gen.
erai.

Gave Up Leading Broadway Role to
PLAY Title Part in "liuhtnin'

To give up a leading Broadway
role in order to play the title part
in the most sensational dramatic
success the American theatre has
ever known is an experience that
falls to the lot of few Players yet
this is what happened to Percy Pol
lock, who will appear in "Lightnin' !"
at the Opera House for two nights
beginning Friday. June s, with a
Saturday matinee, in the famous
role made vacant by the untimely
death of Frank Bacon.
During the early part of the pres
ent theatrical season, Mr.. Pollock
was appearing as Eben Gooch in the
Frank Craven comedy, "Spite Cor
ner." in New York, and it was main
ly due to the personal wish expressed
by Frank Bacon when "Lightnin' 4"
had just started on its record break
ing Broadway run that John Golden
and Winchell Smith decided to place
the mantle of the deceased Lightnin'
Bill on Pollock's shoulders. At that
time, possible successor to Bacon
was under discussion. The actor
himself was present, and turning to
Mr.. Golden he said: T've been talk
ing to an actor named Percy Pol
lock. and &c you ever need a success
sor to me as Lightnin', he's the
man."
OF course. the New York critics
helped to bring about this decision,
for they had unanimously praised
the fine acting of Pollock when
Spite Corner" opened on Broadway.
Pollock himself was in ignorance
that he had been selected until after
the final decision had been made.
And Pollock has more than justi-
fled the faith that was placed in
him, not only by Bacon but also by
Messrs. Smith and Golden. His
notable work in this role during the
run of 'Lightnin'" at the Hollis
St. Theatre. Boston, during the past
