Every Dog Can
Have One Bite?

Los Angeles, Feb. : "a. Pr
Ccke's age-old maxim. Every dog is
entitled to one bite" was applied
here recently by Judge Thompson Of
the Superior Court in finding for a
damage suit defendant whose dog
was alleged to have bitten a bakers
boy
No one denied that Max, the dog,
had helped himself to a nip out Of
the baker boys arm. The statement
of the defendant that the nip had
been the first INDUCED in by Max,
likewise was undisputed. so motion
Tor non suit was granted.
In delivering the finding the court
said:
1T is an ancient rule Of the law
that every dog is entitled to one bite.
The owner of a dog of known vicious
character is charged with RESPONSE
billy for its acts. but how shall a dog
who never has manifested any vice
be supposed by its owner to be a dog
OF vicious character? There obvi-
ously must be first bite. and hard
as 1t may be upon the unfortunate
victim of this. SO to speak, maiden
bite. he apparently Is left without
recourse"

average number of children for whom
clothing was purchased was $40 or
an average per capita cost of the
children for whom clothing was &C
tually purchased of S69.29. During
the calendar year beginning Jan.
1924, or the month when the whole
sale plan was first established. the
State expended S47.S40 for clothing.
During that time so children were
being clothed at an average per
capita cost per year of S53.33 or a
saving of $l5.96 per year per child.
The average number of children who
were clothed was S07 which meant
q saving of S13,SS5.20 plus the in
ventory of our stock on Jan. ], 1879,
SIC, 403.S7. or a total saving for the
year of S24,298.07. The salaries of
purchasing agent and assistant and
their travelling expenses was 1851.

andar year of $21,651.27. These fig
ures are as accurate as it is possible
for them to be and are copied from
manifeStS which have been paid by
the State Treasurer. The present
system, Of bookkeeping will enable
the Board to know at all times the
exact amount of money which it eX-
ponds for clothing needs. We do not
claim that the saving of $21,651.27
was affected wholly by our plan of
buying at wholesale prices. That
has a great deal to do with it but
the other factor that enters into the
whole plan is the one of carefully
checking the clothing needs of the
children. Heretofore, it was exceed
ingly difficult for a field worker to
know whether or not child actual
ly needed the clothing asked for by

Sterling on Par
Big British Aid

London, Jan. % "a. p. by maiD-
The return to gold standard will
probably not interest the average
Briton until he sees golden coins in
circulation again. or until such a de-
cline has occurred in commodities
through the pound reaching par as
to affect his weekly housekeeping
count.
To one section of London's popu-
lation, however. the rising pound is
closely watched and viewed with
dismay. and among employees of
American houses who at one time
were passing rich with their dollar
basis pay at $50 to the pound. there
is constant wailing at the gradually
diminishing pay check.
In the opinion of. Sir Herbert
Handling, deputy chairman Of Bar
clay's Bank, there will not be any
immediate return Of the use of SOW
ereigns instead of notes. Writing in
the Weekly Despatch he says that
par exchange has not yet been
reached and even when it has. some
time must elapse before the country
could return to free gold market.
IF we were Immediately to issue
gold and to allow it to move freely
from this country to another" he
says. there would be danger that
we might experience too heavy
drain upon our gold supplies. and If
we then had to suspend the free gold
market general setback to conf
dence would result"
After recounting the factors which
have helped the rise in sterling, in
GLIDING the Dawes report. the Greek
loan, Britain's regular debt payments
to America and United States loans
to Europe. Sir Herbert mentions a
few of the benefits which Britishers
may expect on the return of the
pound sterling to parity.
There will be a saving Of $780,
600 yearly on the instalments of the
American debt. imports of foodstuffs
and raw material will be cheaper
and one of the most hampering in
fiuences on trading will have been
removed. especially if real exchange
stability in all countries ensues.
Sir Herbert utters warning
against being content with the pound
ar par. and urges the nation to
cheaper production. improve the ex-
port trade and settle down to work
strenuously in order to get British
prices down to the level of American
so that confidence in the par rate Of
exchange can be established.

this to be universally true. and there
were certain youths for whom phys

Referring to Greek mythology. DIR.
Miller spoke of Narcissus who fell in
love with his own reflection in the
waters Of spring. There were Mar

the object Of their own love and who
cultivated their own bodies to an ex-

hence self confidence among school
boys would be based entirely upon
the values Of intellect and character.
Today the physical animal factor
predominated, and consequently a
great many adolescent boys were 60
ing wrong in their character devel-
opment owing to their physical make

DIR. Miller advised the association
members not to think merely in
terms of chest expansion when deal
ing with individual requirements Of
their pupils. but rather of character.

Charities Board
Makes Big Saving
Buying Supplies at
Wholesale Prices

Secretary CRUDE B. Cornish OF the
State board Of charaties and correc-
lions in q statement given out Tues
day pointed out that during the cal
andar year beginning Jan. 1924 there
was a net saving to the state or vi
651.27 through the. adoption by the
Charities Board Of the plan for pur-
chasing clothing and supplies Tor
wards of the State at wholesale pri-
ces.
"One Of the most worthwhile feat
ures of the new plan." said Mr..
Cornish lis that it saves time for
the field workers who formerly were
obliged to spend great deal Of their
time making purchases at retail
stores. Now they learn the needs of
the children, send the order to Au-
gusta or Bangor where the order is
filled within three days from the
time when the order is received. 1t
took several months before the work
could be systematiZed to its present
degree Of efficiency. With few mi
nor changes. we believe that the
original plan Of procedure will be
from the Department of Labor stat
ed that Maine is the only state to
her knowledge that purchases cloth
ing at wholesale prices and distrib-
utes it from one or more centers.
The number of children in the
custody of the State on Jan. 81, 1924
was 1,741. Out of this number the
State was buying clothing for 954
children. the other children being
cared for in free homes or in insti-
tutions where clothing is provided.
This in itself Is quite a remarkable
showing and speaks we'll for the field
workers who are constantly trying to
place acceptable children in free
homes at saving to the State.
1.-THE Secretary gives his personal
supervision to the purchasing of
principal orders while the detail
work is looked after by Miss Evelyn
Hubbard. purchasing agent. Miss
Hubbard is assisted by Miss Madeline
O'Leary at Bangor and Mrs. Sumner

For the fiscal year 1922 and 1923
the State expended nearly $39,49530
for clothing. During that time the
