PAUL PRY'S DISGRACE AROUSES
EXPERT TO DEFEND AIREDALE
Breed of Dogs Generally Fine Companions, Says
Albert Payson Terhume, Regarding Dismissal
of White House Pet

When Paul Pry, the White House
A1redale. was given the air at Swamp
scott last Summer and Rob Roy, the
Whlte collie, succeeded to first place in
the affections of President and Mrs
tooldge, stigma was cast on the
entire Airedale race and halo was
placed over colliedom. Paul Pry was
bounced because of an irresistible
passion for nipping the heels of dis
| tlngulshed and other visitors to the
freSldentS SanCtum, and even the
Marines ~ guard up there couldn't
cure him of acting as no White House
dog should.
President Coolidge directly or in
directly has fired many prominent per-
sons from office and his action has
created f1utter Of comment which
however. soon died. But it is doubtful
II an official or unofficial act of his

MIR. Terhune is not blinded by pre-
judice to the excellent qualities of the
Paul Pry variety. For long time "
he writes, there was a belief among
many that Airedales' tempers were
as short as their tails. This is not
true The Airedale will not avoid n
fight But he seldom goes looking
for one.
"As rule he is courteous to his
masters accredited guests and to the
world at large. He minds his own
business and does what his owner
tells him to do. Incidentally. he
shows powers of brain and of instinct
'humanized' to a remarkable extent.
Fashion can never rule the Aire-
dale out of existence. Too many peo-
pie have learned to value him above
any other breed. He is here to stay.
He has won his right to permanence.
Traits of Various Breeds.
"A very few decades ago there was
no such dog as the Airedale. His
various blends of physique and tenn
permanent were distributed among sew
eral distinct breeds, such as the
shaggy otter hound. the wire haired
terrier and one or two others. From
each of these breeds the Airedale has
taken something worth while, the
terriers alertness and gameness, the
otter hounds scent and powers, Cour.

with a worse argument. They base
their appeal for q modification of the
prohibition law upon the ground that
prohibition is responsible for crime

would not be murder!'

Cubit Measurement

The length Of. the cubit is derived
from the length Of the forearm. From
a number of Egyptian measuring
sticks found in the tombs of Egypt,
the cubit is ascertained TO be equal
to 2O.64 English inches. The Roman
cubit was one and one-half Roman
feet, or TIA English inches. These
are the only two cubits whose lengths
are undisputed Two cubits are men,
toned in the Bible The shorter of
these was probably that which is
called the cubit Of man and the longer
is called the cubit after the first meas

sought by the Berlin police on
charges growing out of a shooting

he Is alleged to have wounded his
uncle, Jack Perry, during a gam

Of the Berlin police today expressed
confidence that he will be discover
ed, being of the opinion that he Is
hiding somewhere in the vicinity
of Berlin and that he will make all
appearance within a short time
1t was stated today at the New
Britain General hospital, to which
institution Perry was taken after
the shooting, that he spent a com
Portable night considering the pain
ful nature of his injuries. He was
shot through the chest, the bullet
missing the vital organs by a mar
row margin.
Lee Is II years of age and lived
with his mother and stepfather, Mr..
and Mrs. David Yopp at the Holmes
brick yard. Perry was accused of
playing with "tricked" dice after he
had won some money from Lee in
a crap game. An argument ensued,
in the course of which the youth
pulled the revolver and fred point
blank at his uncle, after which he
made his escape.
