D. c. CANINE ROSTER
INCREASES RAPIDLY
Number of Dogs Doubled in
Nine Years, Tax Receipts
Indicate.

Despite the perils of traffic and the
exigencies of city which has grown
apace during the past decade, Wash
ington's canine population has doubled
in the last nine years.
AS the tribe of dogs has increased
the names of the dogs have changed,
indicating the principal events in the
march of progress. No longer do
Rovers and Towsers and Bowsers and
others of their ilk respond to childish
whistles, but there are hundreds of
Lindys and scores of Teddys. and
quite a few scamper home at the call
of Babe. Others come to the front at
the call of Pershing.
Lindy Dogs Increase.
The Indy dogs are on the increase
and are of both sexes. Philip Ward,
who for more than 10 years has sat
at the seat of customs and received
the tax fees necessary to keeping a
dog in Washington, registered Is
Lindy dogs last week.
One little girl, typical of many who
pridefully obtained licenses for their
pets, stated that her dog was a lady
Indy. anyway.
Back in 1919 there were approx
mately 5000 dogs in Washington.
Now there are 10000, and more are
being recorded every day.
Time was when the type Of fox ter
rier. known as ''black-and-tan," was
the most popular breed of dog, but
today the Boston bull is the most pop.
ular, statistics at the Tax Collector s
Office disclose, while the airedale, once
very popular, is losing caste.
Three Silver Tags.
The usual license tags issued by the
District are small, numbered metal
disks, but there are three tags of
silver. Two of these tags are Nos.
and 2, and are issued to Calvin Cool
idge, residing at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue" The other is issued to Ed
ward T. Clark, confidential secretary
to the President, for his collie, Peter
Pan.

Ailment Known
AS Golfers Foot
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 3.-Mr
Golfer. do you have sharp pains
In the instep and calf of the leg?
If you do, the chances are that you
are afflicted with the latest ortho-
pedic aiiment, commonly called
golfers foot"
DR.. Frank Furch, president of the
Illinois Association of Chiropo-
dists, who is here to attend a two
day convention of the association,
declared today that orthopedist
specialists throughout the country
have been called upon to give re-
lief to this new condition.
The ailment is caused by extreme
extension of the feet while the
golf player is in the stance pre-
pairing to strike the ball. This
puts the weight of the body on the
arches of the feet, resulting in
unnatural strain. tending to break
down the arches and thowing the
feet out of alignment, stated DR..
Furch.
Four hundred chiropodists from
Illinois. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana
and Wisconsin are here to attend
the convention.

THREE LOST IN CHINA
ARE BELIEVED SAFE
Letter Revives Hope for American,
Englishman and German
in Party.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
PEKING. September IA letter
from Batang, SZechwan Province. has
given rise to the hope that V. G..
Plymire, American missionary; ]. r.
Mathewson, British missionary. and
DIR. Wilhelm Filchner. German ex-
plorer. may still be safe. despite the
recent report that they had been
slain by bandits on the Tibetan
border.
This letter, which is dated July %.
tells of an attack made by bandits on
party of five foreigners. including
NJ. II Duncan. an American. and
Roderick Macleod a Canadian, the
latter being head of the party.
The attack occurred at Isali. near
Atuntze, and was carried out by IL
bandits. Though robbed of many be-
longings, none of the foreigners were
hurt. and the members of the party
continued their journey.
1t is now suggested here that this
incident later was exaggerated into
report that foreigners had been MUIR
dered. This has inspired the hope
that the Macleod and the Filchner
parties may he saved. but inquiries
concerning them are still being
prosecuted.
