Treating the gabled ends with a different

would simulate the traditional effect of this

DOG OWNERS CHEAT
 CITY OF REVENUE
Get License for Males at Marked
 Reduction in Cost

A huge loss in revenue is being annually suffered by the city of New
 Britain through the deliberate mis- representation of the sex Of dogs by dog owners taking out licenses. ac- |Cording 10 members Of the city clerks office force now buslly en- gagged m indexipg the list of licenses | issued
 lt the statements of the dog own CTS are 10 Dc believed in full, there are some 14OO male dogs in New Britain and only a5 females. The terrific preponderence of the male of the species Is due, however, ac- cordiug 10 those listing the dogs, to the difference in cost between a male and female license. A license for 8 female dog costs Sl0.:S while the obtaining of a license for male dog means the expenditure of but SIPS. Hence, with the possibility Of saving S9 in the bargain owners are for the most part determined that their dogs shall be male, whatever their sex, At least, this Is the claim Of the city clerks office
 II Is also claimed in this office that there are more than 250 female dogs in New Britain, and that, ac- ccrding to the files, 2o5 more or less have been avoiding the payment of the added ss by declaring their dogs to he male.
 IL is interesting 10 note. however, clerks at the office pointed out, that even the true state of affairs is rath- CT startling. To ind HOO males and only 250 females In one city, they declare is something. to say the very least, extraordinary.
 Another interesting item in this connection is the names chosen for their canine companions by several of the owners. Many are incongru- ous, For instance, one dog of Mexi- can breed has the name "Patsey." Another, St. Bernard, one Of the biggest species, Is named Tiny" Then there Is one, Murphy" and he is mixed breed, and fierce bull named "Tootsie." There are other interesting names: Ripple, Crock Niger. Spiella, Nero. Stubby. Trust Gyps, Bones, Bing and Dink.
