TO PROBE RIGHT OF
ROAD TO ACQUIRE
U. S. FOREST LAND
Northern Pacific Seeks
100000 Acres of Vir-
gin Timber Lands.

Washington, ID. C., March. 1.-The
right of the Northern Pacific Railway
to acquire some 100000 acres of vir-
gin timber lands in government forest
reserves of Idaho, Montana and Wash
|ington under terms of old land grants
is to be made the subject of congress
sional investigation. Requests for this
investigation have been made by Secre-
tary Wallace of the Department of
Agriculture and Secretary Works of
the Interior Department and both
Senator Lenroot and Representative
Sinnett, chairmen, respectively, Of the
Senate and House committees on pub
lie lands, have indicated they favor it..
The land grants which the railroad
is now seeking to invoke were passed
by Congress in 1864 and 1870 as an in
centive to induce the building of the
railroad from Wisconsin westward
across the continent. For years there
has been controversy between the
United States and the railroad COM
pany as to certain limitations which
were imposed in the land grants re-
garding areas which might be with
drawn and in 1917 suit was brought
by the company to compel compliance
with the contract. This was decided in
favor of the company in 1921 by the
United States Supreme Court.
/ Under this decision the Interior De
partment has been making a compila-
ton of the acreage due the company
by reason of these grants. A tentative
balance indicates there is deficiency
approximating 100000 acres and If
the railroads contention is finally up
held the government will be forced to
give title to some 100000 acres now
comprised in national forests of the
northwest. Secretary Wallace. how
ever. is convinced that the railroad
should first be forced to show that it,,
in turn, has complied with its por-
tons of the contract. basing his as
sumption on other decisions Of the
Supreme Court. He is confident that a
showing can be made that equities in
favor of the government will offset
any present shortage in the acreage
claimed,

ing $4,000 and accommodating
seventy-two patients, will be built.
This will bring the number of dormi-
tories at the institution to six for
women and four for men, but the
states facilities still will be made

Have Dogs Same Legal Right as Men?
BY ALEXANDER HERMAN

Newark N. j., Mar. do dogs
commit suicide?
Can they be killed at the will Of
their owner?
The courts of this state will have TO
decide, for a dog has his day even
before the law.
The principal in the first case Is
one "Pep" late pet of the Jacobus
family of fashionable Montclair.
He was the valuable English setter,
favorite with all. One day last
October he ran out on the middle of
the road near his home, just as a
machine, driven by the wife of a rail-
road official, came along. The wo-
man tried to stop the car, but it was
too late.
Pops owner started an action in
the District Court to recover $500
damages. He proved that the dog was
worth that much, and then contended
that Pep had been rightfully on the
highway, and had been killed by
speeding automobile.
Frank L. Turner, attorney for the
defense, argued that the dog failed to
fellow the instinct to get out Of the
way, and that he therefore contributed
TO his death by his own negligence.
and was guilty, to all legal purposes,
Of committing suicide.
The judge accepted this same view,
and decided against Pops owner. Now
they are preparing to carry the case
to higher court.
In the second case, six FLOODED aris-
tocrats of dogdom are the principals.
They were the pets of Mrs. Bartholo-
new Dunn of Summit, n. j., who died
recently.
She was afraid that the pets might
be mistreated after her death. So
she willed that they be chloroformed
Her heirs want TO break the will
For not only are the dog favorites

BY RABBI SAMUEL MARKS.

The Jewish year is lunar one, and
as such eleven days shorter than the
solar year. In the course of nineteen
years, the eleven days difference be-
tween the lunar and the solar year
would amount to about 210 days, or
seven solar months.
The Jewish festivals. though reck-
oned according to the moon, are,
nevertheless, to be celebrated in their
respective seasons. Thus the Passover
Feast. according to Scriptures. should
be celebrated in the spring Of the year,
and the Tabernacle Feast. which is a
harvest festival. in the fall. But the
difference between the solar and the
lunar months would occasion in a
period of seventeen years, the Feast
winter and the Feast of Tabernacle in
the spring of the year.
To avoid imperfections in our calcu-
lations, it was ordained that every
third year shall consist of thirteen
lunar months instead of twelve. This
additional month is called an inter-
GALAXY month, and the year in which
it occurs is called leap year. The in
tercalary month is called Adar the
Second. The present Jewish year,
1854. is also leap year. But this ar
rangement it will be found that in a
cycle Of nineteen years. called solar
cycle, there are seven leap years. as
follows: the third, sixth. eighth, elev-
enth, fourteenth, seventeenth and
nineteenth.
The Secular Leap Year.
We all know that the earth spin
ming around the sun does not finish
its circuit. but there are few min
utes and hours TO spare: consequently.
we add from time to time the 29th of
February to the usual 1865 days. This
is a plain fact giving hardly any food
for reflection. If it were not for the
fact that certain amount of liberty
is given during leap year TO the fair
sex who are ordinarily restrained by
the strict rules of social modesty. leap
year would have no special signifi-
canoe.
We must not forget that February
was originally the twelfth month OF
the year. So far facts. But fact is
not enough. Why this extra day!
Everything in nature, especially in
the constellation of the stars and the
heavens, is methodical, scrupulously
exact, infinitely true and accurately
rounded up. and finished and complet-

What Is the End?
] am reminded of that final and
awful leap when matter will come TO
a standstill and no longer obey the
behests of the will power, when the
mortal machinery will be worn out

will cease rolling some day: why
