LIVING In
DOG HOUSES
By John P. Medbury.
BROOKLYN man who was

bfEOOhL1N uldH WHO WdS
N opposed to high rents tried
4 n to save money by moving
into his neighbours dog house.
This was entirely satisfactory to
everybody except the dog.
This guy snored so loud that
the owner had to take the dog in
the apartment so that the aire-
dale could get some sleep.
Not only that, but he used to
. swipe the bones off Of the aire-
da1e's dish.
It got 80 that the dog had to
bite the people in the neighbor-
hood to keep from starving to
death.
This guy used to run up to the
back door any time he heard
somebody whistle.
He even sat in the doorway of
the dog house and whined so that
people who passed by would throw
him pieces Of liver.
He ate so many dog biscuits
that he got in the habit OF bark
ing whenever he was hungry.
He even learned to growl, but
having been married at one time,
this came easy to him.
He hadn't lived in this dog
house three weeks when he
started chasing cats.
Even the dog catcher wanted
to take him to the pound the
other day because he didn't have
q collar on.
But the people next door felt
sorry for him and bought him
license.
He went two months without
shaving, and If you didn't know
him you couldn't tell whether he
was an Irish terrier or a collie.
The fellow he lived with used
to let him sleep on the front porch
at night so as to scare the bur.
glars away.
Any burglar is afraid Of some.
thing that he can't tell what it is.
This guy lived in the dog house
for six months and he could still
be there If he hadn't started TAX
ing in boarders.
But he liked the kennel so we'll
that he sent for his folks.
OF course, there wasn't room in
the one kennel for all Of them, so
this guy had to go out and bor-
row every vacant dog house in
the neighborhood.

DARROW AND THE EXPERTS

'"rhe great pity about Clarence $. Darrow's moving plea for mercy for the slayers of young Franks is not in any prospect that it may prove to have been in vain, but rather in that so much eloquence and scholar ship and genuine Humanitarian idealism should have been lavished for Two so unworthy clients" re- marks the Waterbury Republican.
 Several years ago Darrow wrote book in which he lcvelled callstic criticism at pschiatrists employed in criminal trials. He said experts are like lawyers, taking the case of the side employing them and doing the best they can to help their employ CTS.
 Yet in the Franks trial Darrow has depended upon the paid psychiatrists.

Edinburgh. Scotland, Aug. es.- | Feminine fashions of today are eo- ing back to the graceful styles of the thirteenth century. the best dressed age of the world" says Prof. W: Hughes Jones' Edinburgh univer- sity historian.
 EXpoundine before an audience his theory on the abilities of the fashion designers of the earlier age. Prof. Jones assented that the styles worn today were neither outrageous nor startling, as commonly alleged, but that there was instead a grace of form and simplicity common to the fashionable 1300's.
 "All the best dressed women Of the twentieth century," he said, approximate more of the style of the thirteenth century than those of any other women in history"

HE NEEDS SYMPATHY

The law must be enforced up ir Portland, Me. One Walter S White who while taking his wife to a hos pital in his automobile. was forced 10 face a charge of speeding and reckless driving. The former charge was mol pressed, but the other drew a fine of s10.
 He paid the fine cheerfully. At the hospital his wife had given birth to daughter.
 White says the end justified the speed. The judge laid down the precedent that locating the stork" is just as reprehensible an automo- bile practice as beating the speed laws for any other purpose.
 But we'll bet nickel cigar against . postage stamp that when the time comes White will do the same thing again, fine or no fine.

UTILITIES COMMISSION

Ten years ago the Herald favored
 fhe creation of the Public Utilities
 Commission as step in the direction
 of better control of transportation.
 The commission was formed during
 the governorship of Mr. Baldwin.
 That was to his credit and is ancient history.
 S. Gerald Casale, Democratic espirant for the state senate, sug- gests that the functioning of the commission could be improved if its members were elected by popular : vote instead of being appointed. It is not political question. Many citizens who intend to vote for Cool idge may agree with Casale.
 The Herald is gratified at the existence of the utilities body; but the Herald doesn't regard it's func- tioning as above reproach. Sugges- tions for improving the commission need not be subject to political eX- pediency. Casale, who suggests it's members be elected instead of ap- pointed, happens to be a Democrat seeking office; but that is no reason why the suggestion need be argued from the standpoint of politics. While Casale is making the suggestion in New Britain as part of his platform, some Republican aspirant elsewhere in the state may make similar sng- gestion, providing he is not restrain ed from so doing by state bosses.
 The Herald ton years ago did not favor the creation of the utilities board as a political measure, and this paper doesn't think it should be judged from the standpoint Of partisanship today.
 The question as to whether the | functioning of the commission would i be improved if it's members were | elected is one worthy of unpartisan | consideration. The recent rise III . communication rates affected both Republicans and Democrats, and members of both parties waxed in dignant. The Republicans arc mol going to laud the commissions action merely because Democratic aspif- ant. who happens to live in New Britain, favors election of it's mem bers instead of their appointment. And the Democrats in New Bfltalt won't feel inclined 10 cXpostulate Ill favor Of the commission should a Republican in. say Hartford. put forward a similar suggestion.
 The plan is worthy of debate, not partisan pifle.

Band Of $500 Englishmen Ar- range to Become Immigrants

London, Aug. 2S.---Increasing un- employment and strikes have caus- cd a band of $500 skilled mechanics from the textile mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire to form an organiza- ton with the object of arranging their entrance into the United States.
 Under the proportional system now in effect these districts are al- lowed by 2,300 of England's total immigration quota of 34,000 and the mechanics organization has lawyers busy attempting to upset the system or to have special facilities given in their case. In the event they are unsuccessful in these attempts the members have agreed to draw lots for the privilege of going to the United States.
 Up to the present time 65,000 per- sons in England have applied for places in the quota, or nearly twice the number allotted.

Canton, China, in UprOar as

By The Associated Press,
 Hong Kong, Aug. sS.-Although the Chinese merchants Of Canton maintain that their strike is being carried out successfully, the govern ment asserts that the strike is fail- ing. A strict censorship at Canton makes it difficult 10 obtain the truth about the situation,
 Meantime the exodus Of the we'll to-do from Canton to Hong Kong continues. Large sums of money and valuables also are being sent to Shameen and Hong Kong for safe keeping. The inflow of money Is proving a great assistance 10 stock exchanges here which are experience :ng unprecedented booms.
 Although the Chinese community of Hong Kong is considerably excit- ed over strike and conditions are unsettled, foreigners generally do not regard the situation with appre- hension. Cargoes destined for Cam ton, however. are not being shipped pending settlement of the difficult tl'S thtI's liS NiilliNst in Canton claim that their strike is continuing despite the pressure of the government to force abandon ment Of the opposition 10 the kuo- mintang government. Soldiers are patrollins the city but the striking shopkeepers are not resuming busi- ness. A merchants volunteer corps is distributing handbils urging the citizens to remain firm against the thorties.
 On the other hand, the semi-offi- cial Canton Gazette says:
 "1'he much heralded general strike in the city of Canton is abor- tive. Shops and stores controlled l by the seditious gang will be dealt | with by the authorities and taught a salutary lesson."
 The police commissioner has sent armed cars to patrol various sections of the city.

WHAT'S GOING ON W THE WORLD
BY CHARLES r. STEWART
 NEA Service Writer

old-line politicians keep worrying over what will happen if the presi- dential election is thrown into con- sress. One od-line suggestion is that the national chairmen agree in advance to let the presidential cleo tors, regardless of party. vote for the candidate with popular plur- ality. even though he lacks ma lority over all" Constitutionally the electors may vote as they please, but practically this right has lapsed. It isn't likely the chairmen will agree to revive it. If might do this time but not suit so well later on.

ANYBODY BUT BRYAN?

If Congress does have to make the choice, another suggestion is that maybe the conservative republicans in the house will vote for Davis rather than stay deadlocked. Why? Well, if the house fails to elect a president, the president, who's chosen by the senate. will become president automatically. It's assum- ed that the progressive senators, deeming Bryan reasonably progress sive, would join the democrats in such case, electing him. The idea is that the conservative republican congressman would prefer voting even for Davis to seeing Bryan in the White House.
