"Say." began a voice. There's
been dog acting mighty queer
around here lately. He's been walk
ing around the same spot. We've all
tried to feed him, but he refuses to
take food. And he won't take water
either. He's starving to death and
he seems to be hurt and there's moth
ing any Of us can do about it."
And so they found the authors
dog, launting the scene of the wreck
waiting for his master to appear;
waiting and looking and refusing to
eat, drink or sleep; just going about
in circles near the site Of the wreck.
And this. it seems to me, is as
much devotion as you could ask of a
dog-say in Oklahoma, Kansas or
Nebraska?
The composer of three Of the most
intriguing songs to be heard on
Broadway is millionaire who writes
music as hobby. His name is Cole
Porter, and he's to be found most of
the time on the Riviera or in Ven
ice villa. He generally appears in
Manhattan once each season with a
new crop of melodies. always of a
high calibre. New York theatrical
folk, when in Europe, generally ac-
cept his hospitality-and few have
the good sense to use his compost
tions. This year he wrote the song
hits for Irene Bordoni. The money
received for his successes would be
considered a comfortable income to
most folk-but Porter already has
all the money he needs.

be epochal news, but--my first inter-
view with Calvin Coolidge, president
of these United States of America.
brought forth the fact that he had
hair on his pin-striped blue serge
suit-two hairs, to be exact-that
his hair is red ESQ were the ones on
his suit)-that his sense Of humor
has been most underratcd, and that
one can imagine him a swell wise
cracker If freed from few inhibi-
tions due to the dignity of his office.
Interviewing" the president is
not exactly and exclusive affair. The
game begins with a doughty uni
formed policeman at the door Of the
executive wing. He very politely
opens the door but he fixes one with
a glittering eye that says thus far
shalt thou go and no farther till |
know whence you came and why
He is quite accustomed to the
answer, Il want to see the presi-
dent" He hears that several hum
dred times day. He separates the
sheep and the goats-those who are
armed with letters from their con-
gressmen and are to shake the presi-
Dental paw at high noon and those
who can't just see him anyhow.
Proper Identification. registration
in the press book, and introduction to
the chairman of the White House re-
porters, gives one permission to at
tend a press conference, which is as
near to interviewing" the president
as even the loftiest come-and they
say that the president has pointed
out from time to time that he is
under no obligation to be even that
accommodating, and that if the
newspaper boys and girls don't stop
yowling for more and bigger favors
he may do as his predecessor Wilson
did and not even see them for five
minutes at a time twice week.
Pat Mckenna, chief door-man and
sergeant -at-arms for the executive
offices, claps his hands much in the

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. II. - All New
York dogs, thank heaven, are not
pampered Pekingese. Nor do they
all wear jeweled collars and sleep
on monogrammed robes. To be sure
q great many of them do-quite toe
many, if you ask me.
But there are New York dogs that
can be as devoted to their masters
as the dogs of Kalamazoo, for in
stance. True, a New York dog may
not be quite so well acquainted with
it's master as a dog in Muncie, Ind.
or Columbia, S. c., where masters
have yards for dogs to play in and
time and opportunity to form close
attachments. The play life Of the
Manhattan dog is greatly limited.
On those routined occasions when
q New York dog does get into the
outdoors, he's held tightly in leash
and his inclination to romp is not
encouraged. He's supposed to sur
render to strict discipline. Also his
walks are very likely to be taken
in the custody of the house janitor
the maid, or a small boy trying to
earn quarter.
There's no particular reason why
a dog should love New York apart.
nent yet, day upon day, you'll read
stories in the papers of how some
dog played hero in big apartment
house fire.
But the story that inspired this
particular contribution to dogology
concerns police dog.
The police dog is owned by Konrac
Bercovici, the writer of gypsy tales
Bercovici was driving to his Fifth
avenue apartment from his Connec
ticut country place. The dog wa
in the car. There was suddel
crash -. the machine upset .
the dog was crushed and Bercovic
was taken to the hospital where h
lay, in serious condition, for sew
eral days. Meanwhile, the usua
curious crowd had thought the dog
dead. They notified the health au
thorities to come and get the ami
NAL. But when the authorities ar
rived, the dog wasn't there. He hat
lived, and although suffering frc
his hurts, had managed to drag him
self away.
A couple of days ago, phone ccl
came to the precinct police station.

correspondence. a small flag on the
desk, and larger and beautiful SILK
flag on the floor at the right-hand
corner Of the desk. Some rather in
expensive book ends of the Parthenon
hold few books and pamphlets.
Somehow that desk humanizes the
president. 1t symbolizes him as a
working man, an office drudge who
must get to his desk on time every
morning, who has his clearcut def
mite routine work ready for him
just another man with job.
The sandy-haired man behind the
huge desk does not look up as the
pack falls in.
The oval-shapcd room looks out
through three French bay windows
into the garden behind. The huge
windows form niche in which is
the presidential desk. The walls are
of green velour matching the two
shaded green china lamp on the
presidential desk. A charcoal Of a
head Of Lincoln. a map, and the
flag are the only extraneous decor
ations in the room. Everything
focuses to that desk and the man be-
hind it.
It is room fit for a De Mile
movie-a rather garish. boudoirish,
unbusinesslikc room for president s

should leave that desk, open the
French windows, take John Gilbert
pose before the stone steps leading
down into the garden, register ro-
nance. But
The man in the blue suit is ris-
ing. He reads some questions be-
] fore him. His answers bristle with
the Yankee twang that says "aout'

A touch Of sly humor at the end
The president removes his shell-rin
glasses, holds them deftly twixt two
fingers, and opines:

news in Congress today. Cues:
that'll give you copy. You'll neet

The Directors of the Montana Au-
tomobile Association have gone on
record as approving and getting be-
hind movement to request the next
Legislature to add temporary two
cent tax on gasoline for four-year
period.
A Bill is now prepared and plans in
augurated to carry on a sensible and
reasonable campaign; presenting to
the people and to the Legislators just
how much this extra tax will bring
to the state for the building and
maintenance of roads.
At the present time there is an ac-
emulation or surplus of Federal Aid
funds totaling in round figures 3d.
100000 which the State Highway
Commission cannot reach. The annual
Federal Aid release" runs i'll the
neighborhood of S1,500,000 and this is
matched by the incoming present gas
tax which is not sufficient however to
absorb any Of the $4,500,000 surplus.
If this extra two-cent tax measure
is passed it would mean that 1t would
bring in at least $1,250,000 per year
and matched with like amount OF
Federal Aid, would give the state ST.
100000 over and above what they are
now getting and allow them to build
about five hundred miles of highways
per year for the next four years in
stead Of about two hundred and fifty
miles unGer the present program.
This surplus $4,500,000 Federal Aid
has accumulated due to the large an
nual sum allotted Montana to be
matched with state funds for road
building on the basis of for every dol
lar spent, the state gives A cents and
the United States Government 81
cents. 1t was only on January 1sti
1927, that Montana had sufficient
revenue to start laudable program
of road building. This comes from the
present three-cent gas tax.
The directors of the Montana Au-
tomobile Association, urged by many
of its members, are endeavoring te
find way to rush the Montana road
building program. If this proposed ex.
ira two-cent tax can be temporarily
moulded into law at the 1929 Legis.
lature it will create sufficient extra
revenue to advance the work and &C
complish in the next four years what
would take eight years under the
present gasoline income.

Doctor Jackson also told his audi

other problem that has to be met by
the State Highway Commission; as
the roads are completed, the mainte-
nance must be kept up for all projects
built previously with Federal Aid
Funds and also for that work COM
pleted since Initiative Bill No. 81 went
into effect Forestry and Indian Res
eryation Highways built with 100 per
cent Government money must also be
maintained by the state two years ar
ter completion.
Ii the proposed additional two-eent
gasoline tax goes into effect on
March LIST, 1929, it would avoid a
Bond Issue by Initiative or Referen-
dunn and either of these would not
yield revenue until 1881, or lapse OF
two full years, whereas the Bill pro-
posed by the Montana Automobile As
ISOLATION would bring about at least
a ten million dollar road building
fund in the next four years over and
above the present revenue or approx
imately grand total of twenty nil
lion dollars for the building OF high
ways and bridges and the mainte
nance on the present Federal Aid
System.
If this new proposal would go into
effect it would without doubt bring
about all the United States marking
of the Montana Highways and like
wise allow the state to oil many more
miles of roads than could be done un-
der the present income and would also
enable snow removal.
It is the intention of those behind
the Measure to have it run for a four
year period only. The Bill would be
identical with the present gas tax
laws and be subject to. all their pro-
visions in every way.
If the people of Montana should de-
eide through their Legislative repre-
sentatives to approve this Measure
as recommended by the Montana Au-
tomobile Association it would allow
the state in the next few years to
connect up the important and well
travelled highways that would not only
mean satisfaction to the motoring
Montana public but add many million
dollars to the states wealth in the
way of increased foreign automobile
tourist traffic.
It would solve the hue and cry that
the present revenue is not sufficient
and Montanas road building should
proceed at much more rapid rate.
