that are perpendicular in line, for such
collars add inches to her stature.
The too-tall, too-slender woman
often has an unhappy prediction for
extremely, severe, tailored, ''lnannish"
coats Coats of this type invariably
emphasize the very defects she should
attempt to conceal. A short coat, in
jaunty, box style, is garment that
should not only cut her height in a
feIicitous way, but give to her too-thin
figure a rounder effect.
The woman who is tall, and especial
~ in proportion to the length of her
waist, should avoid any extreme waist
line effect in her coat If the coat has
waistline at all, it should either be
normal or low.

Plenty of warmth in garments for

the mixture is cool, add the we'll

The cake should be divided into three

five hours, remove the paper, and bake

may be cooked in several ways-in the
oven, in an ordinary household steam

pressure cooker. Rich fruit cake is
always more satisfactory when done
if the cooking is accomplished partly
by steaming. There is very little diff

housewife who wishes to do so may
reheat part of her fruit cake by steam

pointed at him. Missiles buried at
him have similar effect.
Guarding automobiles, however, is
not the only way a police dog may
be employed. The very, very mod
ernists are using him to play golf.
He makes very excellent retriever
of balls and is wonderful aid to an
enthusiast. He can't carry the sticks,
however. The price of properly
trained animal may be bit of de-
terrent to the ordinary player.
Heredity Counts.
A trainer has to spend several
months upon course before the
dog gets on to the thing. Neverthe-
less an apt dog learns the game of
golf almost as well as his master,
giving him time. Police dogs are
very intelligent and dogs of good
pedigree pick up things with ex-
rapfdity. Heredity counts
a great deal. The offspring of a
trained dog learn with greater rap
idity than the offspring of an ordi-
nary unlettered animal.

The Bird Called Butcher

"VH shrikes-the well-known
butcher birds are strange
birds. In structure they are
numbered among the song or perch
ing birds, but in habits they have
strayed away from those Of their
kinfolk and have emulated those Of
the birds Of prey. Their food con-
sists very largely Of meat, such as
mice and small birds, but they con-
sumo also large quantity Of grass
hoppers and crickets and other In
furious insects. They do not use
their feet in handling their prey, but
impale the victim on thorns.
Their nests are bulky affairs Of
sticks, firmly anchored in the midst
of formidable hedge. Their upper
parts are a beautiful pearl gray,
while their wings are black with
white bars, and, as BELTS a feathered
bandit, they have a black mask
across the face. Altogether they

ten in blood. 1t originally belonged
to the Great Mogul of India, and
when found weighed 703 carats.
Amateurish cutting reduced it to 1856
carats. When Nadir Sha, the Per-
sian conqueror, invaded India, the
Mogul hid it in his turban, but was
betrayed by woman Of his harem.
And Nadir insisted upon an exchange
Of turbans as sign of amity. Later
he was assasinated; the next owner
of the stone had his eyes dug out
with penknife and his head shaved
and covered with boiling oil to force
him to give up the Kohinoor. The
next owner was thrown in prison
and starved, but managed to conceal
the stone in the plaster of the walls
in his cell. His jailer one day
scratched his hand on projecting
point, and thus discovered the secret.
Pleasant things like this went on
and on until the mutiny against the
British, when it was confiscated; re-
cut to log carats, and is now part
Of the Crown jewels.

bear quite resemblance to the col
oring Of the mockingbird, fact
which has caused them to be nick
named French mockingbirds" in
many sections of the country, al
though the reason for the French"
is not quite clear.
1t is difficult to understand why
the shrikes are not more numerous.
Their families are large, six being
the rule rather than exception. Their
nests are secure from most enemies,
built as they are in an impenetrable
thorn tree, and the birds certainly
should be capable of defending their
homes from assault. In addition they
are vigorous and hardy, and it is
really mystery that they do not in
crease rapidly in number. AS a
matter Of fact, they seem to be no
commoner than in early times, which
is just as well, perhaps, for the small
Song-birds.

i Like Putting Money i'm c

IN the good old days before the
war frugal French women put
their savings away in sock and
hid it safely under the mattress.
Now they invest in diamonds, and
are astonishing the world by the
number and brilliancy of their jew
els. 1t is only another instance Of
the canny thrift of the smart
Parisienne; the most extravaganza
and the most saving woman on
earth.
When the franc of her native land
began to skid in value, she took
lesson from the chaotic state of Eu-
rope and decided to invest in some
thing whose value did not grow
startlingly less overnight.
Small Shops of Paris.
With the same cleVerness and
frugality which prompts her to take
two cents worth Of vegetables and
turn them into delicious ragout,
she goes down into the side streets
Of Paris and the smaller towns and
visits the tiny dirty, ;obscure shops.
Here she bargains with rare acumen
for diamonds below market value.
At times she sells these at splen-
did profit, but not to keep the mon
ey. Indeed no! 1t is at once rein
vested in other stones.
American women are not far be-
hind their Partisan sisters in dis
playing costly jewels, but according
to leading diamond merchants this is
more to please themselves and to
follow the prevailing mode than
from any idea of saving.
There's no hope Of their ever go
ing down in price either. On the
contrary, they increase with alarm
ing rapidity. A carat diamond which
25 years ago might be bought for
$125 is now $500. At the same time
no one need hesitate to buy one, for
it's just like putting money in the
bank.

Another bloody jewel is the Cor
loft" diamond of 1914 carats. 1t was
once the eye of an idol and later,
after figuring in several assassina-
tons, was purchased by the Russian
Prince Orlof, who was a lover OF
Queen Catharine III, Of Russia. Aft
er occupying a place IL the Russian
royal sceptre it, too, now belongs to
the British Crown. So also do the

COIOred Stones.
A great many people never think
of diamond as anything but a gilt
tering white. But the blue white
stones are the finest of all, and there
are diamonds Of almost any color.
White, yellow and brown are the
most common. Red is very rare;
green trifle less so. Rose diamonds
are greatly admired by many, and
there are even black diamonds and
cinnamon ones. A canary diamond
found a few weeks ago in the South
African fields is attracting much at
tention. This will be much less val
liable to diamond merchant than to
a collector.

Police Dogs Sure Protection Against Thieves and Kdnapers

in the forenoon and the same num-
Der Of times during the evening les
son. Kind of bad, wouldn't it be? But
yet, the villain doesn't seem to mind
it, for things have been foreseen and
he's protected by thick padded suit,
through which the most angry dog
can not bite. Just how this suit is
constructed is shown in the accom-
panying illustration.
After a while the dog no longer
needs orders and anyone who lays
hands upon the baby is bitten. Of
course, the dog is also taught to re-
frain from doing so while in the
house or upon the orders from the
master. Furthermore, police dogs
are "one-man" dogs and only one
person should be allowed to give
them orders. Once trained the ami
NAL will go through his stunts for
any owner who acquires him. When
a dog is imported into this country
from the Fatherland he must learn
the English language, so the orders
are given in German followed by the
English equivalent After a time the
German is dropped entirely. Some
Of the brighter dogs learn the Ian
guage in a few weeks.
Never Whipped in Training.
The dogs are never whipped or
reprimanded in any physical way.
1t has been found necessary, how
ever, to speak rather harshly and a
hard-boiled trainer usually has
splendid success with his dogs. At
present more German police dogs are
being trained for the protection of
automobiles than for any other one
purpose. The method is similar to
the one employed when they are be-
ing trained as nurse maids. The dog
is placed in the automobile and told
to "speak" when anyone comes for
ward and touches the machine. If
the person persists, the barking is
followed up by biting. The dog,
however, must never bark at a pass
erby. To do so is to win a severe
reprimand.
The German police dogs, like hui
man beings, receive all kinds Of edu-
cations. Some are illiterate, others
don't finish grammar school, while
still others not only finish college but
receive their doctors degrees. And
what is more it's an expensive prop
osition. A complete course takes a
year and costs the owner some
where between $500 and $500. But
when the dog has completed the
course he's a mighty smart animal
and can do more things than some
people.
There are some dogs, like some
people, who have no capacity what
soever. If trainer has a dumbbell
sent to him he'll fuss over him for
about month and then send him
back to his owner with a comment
something like this: mo brains.

the lawn or as a noise-maker"

The German police dog is also be-
coming a. great favorite around the
nursery. AS nurse he is UNI
paralleled. Not that he serves the
infant with its bottle Of milk or takes
it forth into the air in its perambu
lator. No, he is simply trained to
watch over the child to protect it
against strangers and to prevent it
straying out into the street and I'M
der the traffic. Later when the child
grows older and learns to navigate
for itself the dog can prevent the
baby from running away, or if that
has been accomplished bring it back
again. Imagine baby madly tod

dog rushing UP and arresting it by
gently sinking its teeth in the baby's
dresses.
First Pet the Baby.
1t takes several months to COM
pletely train a police dog as a nurse
maid, and what is more it takes two
men and baby to carry the thing
through. Quite naturally the train
er has to borrow a baby if he doesn't
have one Of his own, and frequently
there is trouble persuading the
mother to allow the infant to under
take so dangerous job.
