PIGEON IS HERO
 OF WORLD WAR

TOURS, France, Jan. 27.-A hero of the war, cited in an order of the army and decorated for exceptional bravery and gallantry at Verdun, has just died of old age. He was ten years old.
 His name was carrier Pigeon No 1874 A. F. and attached to one of his legs he proudly wore a ring, equiv. alent to the Metallic Militaire, award. ed to him in June, 1916, with the fol. lowing citation:
 "On three different occasions, during the battle of Verdun, under heavy fire ensured the rapid transport of very important messages In particular car ried to headquarters the communica- tions of Major Raynal defender of Ft Vaux on June 3,1916, at a time when the majors troops, completely sur-. rounded, were deprived of any other means of communication The flights were done under most unfavorable at mospheric conditions"
 Since the Armistice the pigeon had been kept as an honored guest in the army dovecots.

BERLIN DOG MEN
 PAWN ANIMALS
(By Associated Press)


 BERLIN, Jan. 27.-The city tax of flee has unwittingly devised conven- tent way of enabling dog owners to get rid of undesirable canines and of es- caping the payment of the dog tax. A decree has been issued by the magis- trate that dogs for which the tax has not been paid shall be "pawned" and later sold at auction.
 The procedure follows: If an own CT is in arrears with his dog tax and declines to pay up, ticket is affixed to the dogs collar to the effect that he has been "pawned" by the city. The owner no longer has the right to dispose of the canine at will. As soon as a number of tax delinquents have been rounded up-enough to make it worth while-a public auction of the dogs takes place. The lowest bid at which the tax official will give up a dog is one equal to the dog tax in arrears. If nobody offers the amount of the tax or more, the city buys the dog and reimburses the tax depart ment from ~necial fund. The dog is then take kennel in the sub-

PARIS DIVORCE

(By Associated Press)

tby ASSOclateu GreSS)
 PARIS, Jan. 27.-American divorce grants in Paris courts during 1923 numbered 143 out of a total of 7,064 While the percentage of American di vorces as regards the total number seems relatively small, it is much more important when one considers that all the divorces obtained by other foreign CTS of all nationalities during 1923 amounted to only 151.
 No special legislation governs the issuing of divorces to American citi- zens in France and none is in course of preparation.
 After the McAdoo-Huger divorce in 1923, which caused some criticism it being claimed that the existing laws had not been observed, the then Pre- mer Poincare ordered an investiga- tion to be made at the court house into the facility with which divorces were granted to Americans in France
 The inquiry proved that both Nc Adoo and Huger had legal domiciles in France and that a duly registered cer tificate thereof had been filed.
 The present legislation in France provides that in the applications foI citizens, the laws of the various states in which they live in the United States shall aDDly

PROPOSED QUOTA
 FOR IRISH NAMED
(By Associated Press)


 DUBLIN, Jan. 27.-DiscuSsing the revision of the emigration quota of the United States to be made two years hence, Irish papers point out that the first effect of the act of 1924 has been very favorable to Ireland, Great Britain's quota being 34,007 and and the Free States 28,567. It is SUD- posed, however, that the national ori- gins" amendment may seriously modi- fly these figures, and the estimates of Captain Trevor of New York, are cited for the conclusion that the British quota in 1927 will leap to 83,316, while that of the Free State will fall to only 5000.
