SOME SMART DOG


Believe it or not, here is good
story about dog: A little woolly
dog appeared with a bone in his
mouth on the main street of Cali
fornia village. He was bent on bury
ing the bone, and to that end at
tempted to scratch q hole in the
pavement without, of course, making
any impression in its hard surface.
From street to street he went with
the bone in his mouth, stopping at
intervals to scratch furiously at
the pavement, until finally he ar
rived at the corner of street where
new sign had been erected. A resi-
dent Of the town saw the little pup
gaze earnestly at the sign for few
minutes, and then, with the bone
firmly clinched between his teeth, he
darted off up the street and was still
going at top speed as far as the men
could see him. A moment later the
resident looked at the sign. 1t read:

Cost Of Living.

Prices Of the necessities of life
have increased so rapidly in Greece
that the government is arranging to
open stores for the benefit Of the
population, according to q report to
the Department of Commerce from
Consul General W. L. Lowrie, says
the Boston Transcript. 1t is planned
to sell articles at 4s stores in Athens
and 20 In Piraeus.
Vegetables in general have shown
an increase of $50 per cent from
June to December, 1929, and 100
per cent from December to March,
1923. The cost Of laundry has been
quintupled in the last SIX months.
Postage was tripled in December,
and has been doubled since. In adj
dition to the cooperative stores the
government is aiding local indus
tries and in an effort to relieve the
sorely burdened population it has
forbidden the importation Of articles
of luxury, and interdicted specula-
ton on the stock exchange.
These price increases are attribut-

SUMS RADIATION FALLS OFF
Periodic Variation In Power, Which
scientists Have Never Been
Able to Explain.

It was recently reported in the
daily press that Professor Abbott,
notable authority on all matters
connected with the sun, had found
that the suns radiation would be a
Tow per cent less this year than
usual. This is really not a matter
Thich should give us great concern,
ior it has long been known to the
astronomer that the intensity of the
suns radiating power was variable.
There seems to be certain periodic
variations, as yet unexplained. One
thing that has been noticed is that
at the time of a maximum of sun
spot activity, when the number and
area Of the 'black' spots on the sun
are at their greatest, the radiation
Of the sun is more powerful than
when the sun is free from the sun
spots This appears on the face of it
contradictory, for one would expect
the area of the dark spots to cut
down the radiation. But it seems
that the same cause which produces
the spots has the effect of increasing
the total output Of solar energy. 1t
is also to be noted that the sunspot
period is about eleven years and that
We now are passing through a sun
spot minimum.
