By Good DOwries
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, April 2S.-"Silk stock
ings bring the country girl to town,
but a good dowry will keep her on
the farm" in the opinion of Am
broise Rendu.
This solution. tried by Rendu,
dean of the city councillors, has
some chance of being adopted as a
national policy. Henri Queuille,
minister of agriculture, approves
the plan.
The dowries, in the private ex-
pertinent, are provided by insur-
ance policies, taken out for small
farm girls, and maturing for 10,-
000-franc endowment when the girl
is 21, If she remains on the farm.
This dowry, supporters of the
idea assert, will enable the girl to
choose good husband and remain
on farm.
There are 150, 900 farm girls born
each year and computations show
125, 900 could be endowed at an
annual cost of 10000, 900 francs.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 23.-The death by
hydrophobia of 10-year-old girl who
allowed her pet dog to kiss her has
led medical scientists in Berlin to issue
a warning against the belief that only
bites of mad dogs are dangerous.
In an exhaustive analysis of the
peculiar case, the Zentralblatt fuer
Bakterienkunde,' meteorological
journal, reports that the dog was
afflicted with rabies, but appeared to
be healthy. 1t did nothing more than
lick the child's cheek, the disease
germs entering her blood through an
abrasion of the skin. Three months
later the girl died in violent convul-
sicns
The journal points out that this
case should be a warning against
the disgusting habit of some people
Of allowing their faces to be licked
by their dogs, not only because of it's
offensiveness, but especially because Of
the possibility of its proving fatal"

CHANGES CHESS TERMS.
soviets Object to Sovereign Names
Now in Use.

HELSINGFORS, April % GP.-
News from Moscow that the Soviets
have changed the names of the king
and queen pieces in chess because of
the governments objection to terms
of sovereigns has aroused curiosity
among chess players here as to what
the royal men" are to be called in the
future.
In abolishing the chess titles it is
recalled that some years ago the name
of the queen bee also was abolished, a
Russian word meaning quite the con.
trary being substituted.
Chess is one of the worlds Oldest
games, John de Vigney assigning it's
invention to a Babylonian philosopher,
Xerxes. Others have attributed it to
Chilo, one of the Seven Sages Of
Greece. Gibbon believed the Indians
conceived the game and that Persia
perfected it. Earlier dates have been
suggested, however, by the depletion
of chess in the paintings of the an
cient Egyptians and the descriptions
of 1t in the Chinese books of wisdom.
