North Sea Fishing

During the fishing season the pop
ulation of the North sea is about
$4,000. many Of the fishing boats re-
naming at sea for many weeks, re-
ceiving provisions from a supply boat
and sending their catch to the mar
kets by another boat, the days being
filed with strenuous catching and car
ing for fish.
The monotony is broken when the
supply boat comes or the steam car
rier arrives to take off the cargo. The
investment in the trawlers used by the
fishermen amounts to a very large
sum. as the boats are well built and
fitted with every convenience for
handling the catch of fish.

/ than to let their valuable dogs be
mutilated. But lot of poor people
couldn't afford to pay the tax. At the
same time they didn't want to lose
their pet dogs.
$50 these poor men evaded the tax
by cutting off their dogs tails.
"In that way. pretty soon. you could
tell at distance a rich mans pure
bred dog from poor mans mongrel
dog by the fact that the poor mans
dog had no tail. These poor mems
dogs were referred to as 'curtailed'
dogs. Then. pretty soon. the word.
'curtair was shortened to cur And
mongrel dogs were spoken of as cur
dogs. The name has stuck ever since,
though the tax was taken off long ago.
Not one person in hundred under
stands how such dogs happen to be
called ours,
1T was cruel thing to cut off the
dogs tails. And 1t was an injurious
thing, too. For instance, you may have
noticed, just now. how your dogs tail
swirled around when he was turning
sharply as he ran.
4 IA dogs tail serves as a sort Of
rqdder, to help guide and steady him
when he turns suddenly inSfunning.
That's another thing most people don't
know. They think dogs tail Is only
an ornament or thing to wag. They
don't know 1t has practical use.
"Pve read somewhere that the mas
tiff gets his name from NASTY an old
time slang expression for cur That
must have been before mastiffs were
developed into the splendid breed they
are now.
"From the beginning Of history. the
dog has been mans chum. 1t was only
when certain kinds Of dogs were found
to be the best for certain kinds of
work or sport that our caveman an
cestors bred those dogs to other dogs
of their own sort, to perpetuate the
best variety Of hunting dog or watch
dog or herding dog or whatever type
that particular dog happened to be.
"That was how the different breeds
started. Different dogs were used for
different purposes and then bred for
those same purposes. So. instead of
just one or two kinds of natural wild
breeds. there developed dozens of
breeds. Some were good for handling
the flocks and herds, others for cours-
ing game. and others as beasts Of
burden.
''The best OF each Of these varieties
were bred together; and in few gen.
erations there were no longer Just one
or two types. The types ranged as far
apart as the lapdog and the Newfound-
land.
Every century since then has seen
marked change in every breed.
Look at the Australian dingo-a
reddish wild dog that Is supposed to
be like the original dog the cavemen
had. You'd hardly recognize him as
the same species as that collie dog of
yours.
"Yes. If the dog has done lot for
man. then man has done just as much,
in way. for the dog"

The Right Breed

This summer, for the first time,
Ellen lived on a farm. The rest of her
four years had been spent in an In
dianapolis fiat.
Naturally, she was much interested
in the farm animals, especially the
cows. SO, when some Holsteins which
her father had just purchased came
slowly down the lane one evening,
Ellen watched them almost breathless-
ly. AS the last one passed, she jumped
and exclaimed ecstatically: "Oh, man.
ma! Every last one Of those new cows
had crossword puzzle on her."

The electric light plant of the mine.
which was wrecked by the blast, was

PREVENTING FIRE LOSSES

r Asst year fire killed 1852 persons,
IL injured 1910 more and destroyed
over $5OOOOO.000 worth of property.
Ninety per cent of this loss was due
to carelessness and 100 per cent was
preventable.
Sixty-five per cent of all fires are
in the home. Over S00'homes burn up
each day Of the year or near 100000
a year.
While the number of fires is greater
relative loss is greater in the country.
This would naturally be the case, as
smaller towns do not have as COM
plete fire-fghting equipment as do the
larger cities, and fires once started are
apt to cause greater destruction.
How can fires be prevented? BY
using as far as possible, fireproof ma
terials in building. The development
of concrete and cement as building
materials will probably in time reduce
the number of fires.
But how about existing houses? A
few rules drawn from statistics as to
the causes of fires might be adopted
in every household.
Keep matches only in safe contain
ers out of the reach of children and
mice. Don't leave matches lying
around loose, especially don't let them
get scattered around on the floor.
Be sure a match has gone out be-
1ore you throw it away.
Don't allow gas light near wood
work, curtains or other infiammable
material. Don't have curtains hang
ing near enough to open fireplaces or
gas stoves, so that the curtain can
blow into the flames.
Have your furnace. CRATE or stove
chimneys or fues cleaned and repaired
every spring and inspected in the fall
before starting fires.
If you use electricity, disconnect
irons, coasters and other electrical fix
lures when not in use. Be sure the
insulation is perfect in all points need
ing it.
Don't allow rubbish to collect In
cellars, easements, woodsheds, under
stairs, in closets or garrets.
Put hot ashes in metal cans. Don't
start fires with kerosene or gasoline.
Don't use benZene or gasoline for
cleaning. There are number of nom
infiammable substitutes made that are
perfectly safe.
Keep your eyes open for possible fire
risks ana teach your household habits
of fire prevention.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tQ by Western Newspaper UnionD
HARVESTING THE WIN
TER'S CROP

THE highest point in the pneumonia
Il death rate comes not in the depth
OF winter, as one might expect, but in
March and April Yet ii is easy to
understand why this should be the
case.
During the coolest months everyone
instinctively takes greater precautions.
Warmer clothing is worn, greater care
Is taken to prevent chills, exposure
and wet feet. Elderly persons, those
whose resistance is lowered, or those
suffering from coughs and colds, nat
urally avoid any unnecessary exposure,
as far as possible.
But with the coming of warmer
days, many of our midwinter precau-
tions are relaxed. Yet our early spring
days are really more dangerous than
the middle of winter. mild, clear
morning is, suddenly and without
warning, followed by a raw, chilly
afternoon. The light coat that was
warm enough when we left the house
after breakfast is not enough to pro-
tect us by dinner time.
But the principal reason why the
toll of deaths is greater In the spring
is that we are, most of us, suffering
from the effects of reduced resistance.
due to infectious colds" which we
have accumulated during the winter.
Colds" are infections Of all or part
of the mucous membrane lining the
nose and the upper part Of the throat.
The nose Is the strainer of our breath
ing machine. As we draw outside air
into the throat through the nose, 1t
passes over the moist, warm lining OF
the nose, which warns it, moistens it
and catches dust particles, germs and
other foreign bodies. If the nose is
free from obstruction and if the lining
is normal, then the clean, warm. moist
air goes down into the lungs without
causing any irritation. But if the
nose is stopped up" then we breathe
the cold, dry, germ-laden air directly
into the lungs.
Frequent continuous infection of the
nose not only increases the chances
of lung infection, but it also. in time,
is very apt to extend the Inflammation
from the nose itself to the sinuses or
cavities opening into the nose. These
cavities in the bones surrounding the
nose are all lined with the same mu-
cous membrane as the nose itself. The
large cavities, one on each side. are
called the maxillary sinuse-, because
they are located in the upper jaw
bones. The two small cavities above
the nose, just behind the eyebrows,
are the frontal sinuses. The cavities
behind and above the nose are the
sphenoidal and ethmoidal sinuses.
Infection of any of these cavities
causes the production of pus or matter
in these bony spaces.
The nose is the body's sentinel.
Avoid colds or, have them promptly
treated if you have one. Keep the
nose free and open during the winter
and you will be in much less danger
from pneumonia In the spring.

|. C. C. ORDERS RAIL INQUIRY
Whole Rail Freight Structure Is To
Be Investigated.

Washington-The interstate COM
merce commission ordered an investi-
cation into the existing freight rate
structure of all the railroads in the
country.
While no date has been set for the
beginning of this inquiry-the most
comprehensive undertaken-it is un-
derstood that the commission will
start work almost Immediately. The
purpose of the investigation, the COM
mission said, is to determine the ex-
tent and manner in which the rate
structure of the railroads subject to
the interstate commerce act is in
any respect unlawful, and 'to make
in accordance with law such changes,
adjustments and redistribution in that
rate structure as may be necessary to
correct any defects found to exist"
