We often hear one Washingtonian
criticizing another for alleged lack of

The above word was spoken to
people who in the course Of their
migration were preparing to enter
a new and permanent place OF resi-

them that once they entered this new
land in which they were to dwell
they should Immediately set about
creating at strategic points centers

they might prove to them to he places
Of sanctuary. "They shall be unto
you cities Of refuge" In them they
should find protection until such time
AS their cause might be adiudieated
They were to be not only places Of
refuge for the citizen Of the country
who sought them, but 'for the
stra niger and for the sojourner."
A more modern example Of such a
place Of refuge or sanctuary is to he
found in the great massive Durham
Cathedral that stands on its splendid
eminence above the River Weir, in
England. On one Of the great doors
Of this shrine hangs grotesque brass
knocker that has been there for long
centuries. One morning as we en-
tered this portal we noticed the huge
knocker and asked it's significance.
We were promptly told that 1t was

From the far-away Philippines
comes a new Interpretation of the

might know more of the hammer which

message which applies back home
as we'll as In the Pacific islands.
"Unquestionably, he said, from
an artistic standpoint 1t is the most
beautiful of any of the national flags.
Our national flag not only embodies

flag Of the United States symbolizes

constantly that We are carried along
in it's swift currents, to think of 1t
alone in terms Of unbroken action
and consecutive movement, means
not only to lose our sense of poise,
but to give no place to periods OF
quiet reflection and thus to destroy
our sense OF deliberate action. Gals
worthy says concerning our present
trend: "If l were to put our civiliza
ton in one word. l should call it
feverish. and I think that some sort
Of a. revolution in our standards OF
tastes and demands would be far more
important to us than any revolution

there Is little, IL any, opportunity for
quiet and repose, for clear thinking
or, indeed, for effective living. Even
in our religious habits and practices

treatment are difficult enough to bear.
To claim or to admit that a general
and effective muzzling of all dogs can
not be enforced here, or in any other
civilized community, is so foolish AS
to excite combined feelings of ridicule,
indignation and pity. Such a move
can and should be enforced. Public
apathy is a hard foe, but it can be
conquered. The dog lover whose crav-
ing for canine companionship is such
that he or she simply must keep dog
in an urban community-which, by
the way, dog experts will readily adj
NIT Is no place to keep one, either
from the dogs standpoint or that of
the PUBLICAN and should be taught
that to let the pet go unmuzzled is an
offense against the public welfare
which cannot be condoned. Stray dogs
can and should be put out of the way.
In connection with such a simple and
efficacious ordinance there should be
no such word as cannot" in the
bright lexicon of public health and

Jack Spratt's two trips In an auto

The happiest cat in the world was
Jack after the door of his house closed

Wide-eyed and meowing continu-

Through the feline intelligence sys-

such cats are not true to their tribe.
Each cat, of course. is a law unto

is genuinely liked by some cats,

We were told recently of q cat

Now. that Is a true cat.
Those who dislike these interesting
creatures may and undoubtedly viii

us.
1t Is simply cat common sense.
The cat knows that IL 1t drinks the
