AN ESKIMO DOG.

believed to have been wild and to
have run about the woods like squir-
rels. They lived In holes in the
ground, which accounts for the long,
strong toenailS found on this dog.
The Chihuahua has a funny round
head, with large, outstanding ears.
His fur is short, thick and either red
dish. black or fawn. And some of
the members of his family are so
small that one of them could stand
in the palm of your hand with all
four feet.
You've probably seen a dachshund-
that long, sausage-like dog which is
favorite in Germany. He is called
dachshund because he's used to hunt
dachs, animals somewhat like our
badgers.

Up in Norway a favorite dog is
the Norwegian elk hound. He's a
noble fellow. who proudly traces his
family back to the days of the Vik-
ings. When these brave seamen were
home they took their elk hounds out
on hunting trips. Elk hounds are
wonderful dogs for the hunt. 1t is
said that they can catch the scent
of an elk or bear three miles away.
And in the frozen north the ruling
dogs are the samoyede and Eskimo
breeds. These two dogs are much
alike, both of them being part wolf

of tight shoes. DIR. Marston was the
one woman Fay admired most, next
to her mother. She was a famous
scientist, and, being a friend of Fay's
mother, had invited Fay to lunch to
look over some of her collections.
DR.. Marston was very dignified.
She greeted Fay courteously, but in
an absent minded sort of manner that
made Fay feel insignificant. She so
wished TO make a friend of DIR.

In the first article il was pointed

Breathe With Every Stroke.
q Those of us who have ever seen
good swimmers using the crawl have
noticed that they swim with their
faces under the water, the water line
lust about reaching their eyebrows.
They take a breath every stroke by
turning the head slightly to one side,
opening the mouth and then, turning
the head to the front again, letting
out the air through the nose under
the water. Sometimes in sprint swim
ming they do not take a breath every
stroke, but it is advisable in begin
ming to do so and get into the habit
of it.
Most swimmers breathe on the right
side that is. when the left arm is eX-
tended forward they turn the head
slightly to the right, which brings it
out of water. The big secret of
breathing properly is not to turn the
bead too much and not roll the body.

 The woman committed suicide and tried to take the life of her child, the police said. presumably because of despondency over her recent sera- ration from her husband.
 Mrs. Rieger left a note in which she said she was the mere puppet'' of an unnamed man whom she blamed for 'ruining her life" She instructed that her hair be cut off and given to this man that he might wear it on his belt ''as the Indians used to-"
 The woman instructed that her body be sent to Glen Falls, N. Y, and pleaded in the note that she not be separated from her baby.

 The unofficial record Is held by Senator Ia Toilette ol Wisconsin. Speaking on a currency measure, on May 2a, 1908, he held the floor for Us hours and 20 minutes.
 A l5-hour speech Is credited to Senator Falkner of West Virginia, on January 16, 1891, when the Force bill was under discussion, Senator AL len of Nebraska on october 11-l2, 1893, engaged the attention of the Senate for II hours on the repeal of the silver bill: and n similar period was consumed by Senator Carter of Montana on March 2-5, 1901. while discussing q rivers and harbors measure. Senator Jones, Republl- can, Washington. made a l@-hour and 35 minute speech on February IS-10, 1915, during consideration Of the ship purchase bill; Senator Bur ton of Ohio spoke for l2 hours. and 1 10 minutes on d rivers and harbors
