BRITAIN TO MAKE
ATTEMPT TO SETTLE
IRISH BOUNDARY

London. Aug. 1.-fBy A. P.)-The
government has decided TO make a last
attempt to obtain a settlement OF the
Irish boundary dispute by consent. and.
IN the event Of failure OF that attempt
by next Thursday. when parliament is
scheduled to rise for the summer re-
cess. it VIII introduce a bill which will
set up the boundary commission as
provided by the Anglo-Irish treaty, and
give 1t power to function without the
Ulster GoTcrnnt consent.
]. II. Thomas. the colonial secretary,
announced In the house Of commons to-
day that this course will be followed
regardless OF consequences" which
means thai the government will treat
the bill as a question of confidence and
that If the bin is thrown out by the
house of lords It Will dissolve parlia-
mcnt and appeal to the country.
As such bill clearly would be n
contentious measure, the government
does not intend to proceed with it until
the autumn session. Any attempt to
force the bill through the parliament
hurriedly at the end of the present
session would almost inc vitality pro-
woke the lords to reject it, and thus
precipitate a conflict between the two
houses Of parliament which the gov
eminent particularly desires to avoid.
1t is the governments hope that in
the interval between the Introduction
OF the bill and the reassembling of par
lament in October, conciliatory Coun-
ellis will have prevailed and either u
Ster consented to nominate a repre-
sentative on the boundary commission
or the bill allowed to so through as a
measure agreed upon.
At present both sides are maintain
ing Il stiff attitude but the negotiations
will start tomorrow with the arrival in
London of President CoSgraVc Of the
Free State. Premier Craig of Ulster
Is I'll. hut the Marquis OF Londonderry
and other members of the Ulster gov
eminent will represent him i'll the ne
gotiations.
The die-hard section of ConSerVa-
tiyes. which always has disapproved OF
the Irish treaty and which is strongly
represented in the house of lords, un-
doubtcdly will make strong opposition
to the proposed legislation, but as the
bill is expected to lie supported solid
ly by both the Labor and Liberal par
, ties and also by a considerable section
Of the moderate clements of the Con-
sentative party. the government can
carry il over the heads OF the diSsen-
tientS.
Should the lords be ruled by the u
stcr irrcconcila Dles and go to the length
of rejecting the bill. the only result
would be complete disruption of the

C7hcUhy
Of
Superstitions
Blu Il. lRDlNG KIN
DOGS AND HEALTH

TT IS general superstition all over
the United States that the health
Of children is improved by having them
play with dogs; and in many localities
1t is believed that sick child-Or, as
many say, even grown persOn-can
be cured by having dog sleep in the
bed with him. A publication of the
American Folklore society has the
following instance:
"A few years ago a young man in
Holyoke, Mass. "a commOn-sense per-
sony had a child Ill with dumb ague.
BY advice he got pup and put it in
the childs cradle. The dog broke out
in sores and the child got well.'
Here, again, we have that form of
sympathetic magic known as the
magic of contact-the ancient primi-
tive belief. The dog sympathetically
absorbs the disease Of the patient by
being brought into contact with him
draws it out, as it were.
AS to the selection of dog for the
curative process, the dog was one of
the three animals-the other two be-
ing the lion and the goat-sacred to
Jove, Mercury (some say Mars) and
Pan. To put a goat or lion in a
child's crib might be trifle inconveni-
ent, but the dog is easy. Thus in
working the cure we not only get the
benefit of sympathetic magic, but in
woke the beneficent power Of the great
gods to whom the dog is sacred.

TELEPHONE MEN
DEMONSTRATE VALUE
OF FIRST AID COURSE

Another fine instance of First Aid
treatment rendered by telephone men
was demonstrated recently by gang
OF linemen when they administered
nrst aid to man who was in serious
condition suffering from q broken leg,
severe liberation Of the scalp and
burns about the body. The accident
occurred near Pittsbung. Pa" says the
Sykesville, Pa, Post-Dispatch.
while the telephone men were en-
gagged in setting q pole an explosion
occurred about fifty feet away. Upon
investigation they found the man lying
helpless on the ground. They, pro.
ceeded to administer first aid treat
ment without delay. A compress and
iodine were placed on the liberation
of the scalp and the burns were treat
ed Immediately. At the same time
one Of the men secured a box which
happened to be lying on the ground
nearby and a pair of very effective
splints were placed on the fracture.
AT the hospital, where the injured
man was received, the telephone men
were highly commended for their
thoroughness in administering first
aid treatment"
Telephone men of the local Chesa-
peake and Potomac Company have
also demonstrated their proficiency at
first aid in number of contests and
exhibitions.
