ROB ROY M0URNS
 WHEN LEFT BEHIND
Disappointed When President
 Does Not Take Him

Superior, Wis, July q P,-To be left behind by ones best friend is tough, but when the pal who deserts you happens to be the president of the United States, it is just too much.
 Rob Roy's eyes said that and more as President Coolidge stepped from his canoe after a mornings fishing trip.
 The collie and Mr. Coolidge had at the camp, and the president en- joyed taking the beautiful white dog in the canoe with him while fishing. Morning and afternoon found them together on the river, but the dog soon began to act as though he thought the trips were for his par iticular amusement, jumping about and barking in too lively fashion. "Cut me a short stick, John, about a foot long," the president said one day to his Indian guide, John i Larock. | The stick proved an excellent ouieting measure. for all the presi- dent had to do was pick 1t up and l the dog subsided. This. however, grew tiresome as reaching for the stick interfered with fishing. and MT. l Coolidge decided to discipline Rob Roy.
 We will not take him along on this trip" he said one day as he and the guide started out. We will sec what happens"
 The collie was lying nose between his paws, by the lodge veranda when the canoe returned. Usually ht romped toward the president wher he saw him, but this time he die rot move, not even when Mr. Cool idge and the guide walked over tt him. His eyes, however, never lef the presidents face.
 Robert, how are you?' venturet Mr. Coolidge, but there was no reac tion from the dog.
 Mrs. Coolidge came down tho veranda steps and stopped to pet the collie, remarlling, Why. Rob, that'i the president, don't you know him?' 1 Rob's feelings were too badly hurt to be soothed by few words and Il took him some time 10 recover.
 Now, however. it is no longer nee. cssary for the little stick to accom- pany the president and the collie ir the canoe.

MARINES SEE END
 0F NICARAGUA WAR
Hope to End Strife Within Few
 Months

Washington. July 21.-tPl-The marines in Nicaragua hope to reach the end of their campaign against General Sandino within a few months.
 Latest reports received at the navy department say that the insurgent leader and his band are practically surrounded by the American forces in Northern Nicaragua between the Coco and Bocay rivers. Surrender or flight to Honduras are looked for within a comparatively short time. ! A campaign of "pocketing" the band is being pursued. Marine off cers say that Sandino has been iso- lated from his sources of supplies, either by the American troops or by the impassibility of the jungle trails, brought on by the rainy season. It is thought that the only food to reach him is being floated down the Bocay and Segovia rivers.
 | Marine headquarters here esti- mate the strength of the Sandino i band at 15O men and believe that since the surrender of more than 50l natives within the last two weeks, il is the only insurgent group now ir the Nicaraguan interior.
 While the marines outnumbel Sandino's men. their operations are made extremely difficult and perilous by the character of the terrain. 1r
 many places they are cut off b. Airplanes carry their provisions ant
 drop them by parachutes, and il
 some instances the rivers are used Dispatches picture SandYno a

MOSQUITO PEST IS NEARING SOLUTION
Dusdns Method May Do Away With Insects

Washington. July 21 R-Hope for eventual extermination of the malaria spreading mosquito and his less dangerous, but pesky brethren is seen by Public Health Service authorities in recent results of air. plane dusting experiments in swamp areas near Bamburg, s, c.
 These experiments have demon- strated the value of the airplane in spreading paris green over large marshes and sWamps where drain ge or other methods of eradica- tion arc impracticable. Navy planes with dusting equipment were flown over the South Carolina swamps, releasing the poisonous powder over the mosquitoes breeding places. At least 90 per cent of the larvae, the investigators estimated, were killed.
 The effectiveness of paris green as a weapon against mosquitoes depends on several facts discover ed by the scientists working on the problem. The larvae. deposited in stagnant water by the insects, come to the surface and turn on their sides to obtain food and air. It is therefore desirable that the poison used to kill them will flot.
 Paris green, which contains arse nic, will stay dry and remain on the surface of water at least two hours. In that time the larvae can be expected to come to the top at least once and are almost certain to receive death dealing dose. The method is just as effective against salt marsh mosquitoes as against the malaria spreading va riety. and by repeating the treat ment over a period of years the au- thorities believe that nearly 100 per cent destruction can be at- tained.

wrestling the battalion colors from the
Sd Fleet Division commanded by Lieut.
Samuel w. Stinemstz last night. when
it was announced that the former divi-
sion had had the largest attendance
for the quarter just ended. Lieut..
Stinemetz's division has held the colors
for six months, having maintained the
highest attendance for the six months
just prior to its annual cruise at sea.
The plan has been put in effect at the
Reserve headquarters, in order to stir
up competition in attendance, to make
the feet division which has the largest
division in any one quarter the color
division for the subsequent quarter. The
officers and men of each division are
keen to win the honor of carrying the
colors. and the result has been that the
attendance has been kept quite high.
AS a matter of fact, 1t was announced
that the 1St Division. commanded by
Lieut.. Harold E. Richardson, was a
close second for the honor, while the
retiring color division was but few
points behind the 1St Division.
The special examining board ap-
pointed to examine enlisted men rec
commended for promotion, and which
will put into effect the new system of
examining all men at one time by a
written examination, is working on the
questions. according to Lieut.. Comdr
Nichols, and expects to present them
to Comdr. Smith for approval within a
short time. Lieut.. Walter Lockhart is
the senior member of the examining
board.

Comdr Smith has directed eacn divi-
sion commander to select two men, who
will form a committee to ascertain
just what the desires of the enlisted
personnel are for the celebration. 1t
will be on an off drill night, but 1T is
hoped to enlist the hearty support of
the men, so there will be large at
tendance to welcome the visitors who
are expected to be at the armory.
There will be either smoker or a
dance, or possibly both. However. the

The date for the examination has
been set for October "a. and 1t Is ex-
pected that papers will be marked and
trs successful candidates announced
soon thereafter. Every effort is being
made to coach the men so that all VIII
pass, and 1t was pointed out by Comdr.
Nichols that a study of previous ex-
aminations has shown that the men
are principally deficient in ffrst-aid
work. To remedy this, two drill perl
DDS have been set aside prior to the
examination for instruction in first aid.
Lieut.. P. j. Kennedy. head of the
Medical Department Detachment at the
armory. has been designated to conduct
two first-aid demonstrations and In
