Ignored for
Small Pets
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Let me tell you a story" writes
Dog Lover"
"a mother of six children. left
a WIDOW S. 50 40 eGuvauc-- 20
speak OF, but by taking in washing
and trusting in the Lord. she man
aged to raise her family and give
them a fair education. Now she Is
rs and hasn't anything.
"One daughter will not have her
in the home even for q visit, one
hasn't been heard from for three
years, another is too poor to help
any. Two boys were made to pay
something toward keeping her or go
to law about it. One son lives in
the same town and doesn't even go
to see her. Do you call that graft
tude? A dog never forgets his
friends or one who looks after him
and I can say the same for dumb
cat"
Animals Could Not Help
Here indeed is a sad story, and
one whose like is to be met with
too often in many parts OF this
country. But still it's rather hard
to figure out how the 75-year old
woman would be any better of with
a passel of dogs and cats. They
couldn't support her.
Now and then platitudes about old
Rover do become weariSome. We
have heard so often that dogs are
faithful that we ought to know it
by this time. But does that argue
that we should people the world
with dogs, instead Of humans?
A dogs loyalty is essentially
physical. He will hang around any
back door where food is thrown out.
He will love the idiot who feeds him
as well as the wisest and most use
full of men. This doesn't prove any
thing, except that he is a dog. II
children had the same sort of faith
fulneSS, they all would be morons.
Pets Live Well
The dog or cat who falls into the
care Of one of these animal lovers
has q pretty slick time, it seems to
me. Nothing is demanded of them
save gratitude. They are not ex-
pected to perform impossible tasks.
They are not nagged at nor peStered
nor driven. They are merely fed
and sheltered and petted and left
alone.
Is it because we like sychopancy
that we place such stress upon the
gratitude of dogs? Do we prefer
animals to children because we are
fearful the latter will grow up UNI
grateful or because, Subconsciously,
we know that they will give us more
trouble and will demand something
more from us than mere food and
drink? 1 am not against the cher
ishing of pets.
But no dog should have a soft
pillow to lie upon so long as baby
goes unattended, and no cat should
be sure of a luxurious old age in
a land where any old man or woman
is hungry.

Not to receive a Christmas card
from some one you care for is bad
enough. But to receive a dull,
uninteresting, hurriedly selected
and duty-sent one is painful.
The same thing applies to a
gift, of course. A hurriedly select
ed, last minute, duty-done affair
is much worse than no gift at all.
If for any reason things do sneak
up on you in such way that you
suddenly are faced with the
necessity of either doing things this
way or not at all, sit down and
write letter in which you out
line the type of gift you intend to
make that person at a later date,
and explain that due to this or
that circumstance you would rather
promise a gift at a more leisurely
time than buy something hurriedly.
DUT, dear dear, back to our
ID Christmas card! ( Tastefully
selected cards to the few friends
you wish to remember, none to the
others, is the better way. And, if
you just will go down and order
your cards today, you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that that
much is off your mind.
THERE is an art in tastefully
Il wrapping gifts, and the way q
gift Is wrapped is not the least
part Of its appeal. Heaven forbid
that I am suggesting, except of
course for children, that you tie
everything up with tinsel and stick
ers and what-nots. But there ARE
other very tasteful ways to do
things!
And to help you to know what
these ways are, we are offering
you again this year a leafiet full
of unusual ideas for novel ways
to wrap and seal Christmas gifts,
In this same leaf1et are some
ideas for Christmas cards that
you can make yourself-2-cent
stamp to the Dare department of
The Times will bring this leafIet
to you next week.
"A ND don't think that the Ieaf1et
4 n of twenty Dah-ray designs we
offer you this week doesn't have
some designs in it that you can
use on Christmas cards as well as
anything else! There are some
leaflets left, so if you send another
stamped self-addressed envelope
THIS minute you will get one.
Christmas Gift Suggestions
nON'T think for a moment that
~ a subscription to magazine is
an unimaginatiye sort of gift. es-
pecially for friends who are living
in Europe lit always did break my
heart to have to pay % cents for
one of our scent weeklies in
PARISH.
In fact, a subscription TO a maya
zine that you know a person enjoys
reading, but doesn't quite get
around to buying-or to sending in
a subscription for-is a very well
come gift indeed. If one subscrip-
ton limits your gift too much,
make it several.

GENERAL BOOTH
GIVEN REQUEST
TO QUIT POST
Commander EvangeIine Is
in Delegation, but Fails to
See Brother.

BIZ United Press
SOUTHWOLD. England, Jan. IL.
"A deputation of seven sent by the
high council of the Salvation Army
to request General w. Bramwell
Booth to resign as high commander.
called on the general at his home
here today, where he has been Ill
for six months.
The delegation, after morning
visit, was told that the general could
not be seen until afternoon
The members returned at l p. m.
after lunch at the Lowestoft hotel,
and held q conference with the gen.
eral that lasted about an hour.
The delegates refused comment
when they left the house, except 10
say that the matter was adjourned
until Monday, when the high coun-
Gil meets again at Subury-on-
Thames.
Although Commander Evangeline
Booth, American Salvationist leader,
was in General Booths house and
talked with his wife and daughter,
she failed to see the general, who is
her brother.
In an official statement, General
Booth said he did not see Evange-
line because he felt that the visit of
the deputation was as much as his
strength could bear.
When the deputation entered the
room, the members advanced in
single file. Each bent over the sick
mans bed. clasped his hand and
expressed a hope for his early re-
covery.
After the departure of the depu-
tation, General Booths attendant,
Brigadier Smith, announced that
Booth would reply on Monday to a
letter from the high council which
was brought by the deputation.

MORE STATE AID IS
NEEDED BY SCHOOLS
Legislation Is Planned to
Clear Heavy Deficits
for Education.

Plans for legislation to increase
state aid school funds and make up
a deficit reported at 100000 last
year and more than $1,000,000 dur
ing the school year, thus far, will be
made at a meeting of special edu-
cationaI committee at the Office of
Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent OF
public instruction, next Tuesday.
It is expected to have the project
ready for presentation to the legisla-
tors by next Friday, Harry Kirk
head of the state aid in WisehartS
office, announced today.
Besides the data accumulated by
Kirk and other members of the
committee, a survey of the subject of
state aid funds and suggested
remedies for the deficit has been
submitted by Attorney Elias D. SAILS
bury.
In letter, sent by Salisbury, both
to Wisehart and Attorney General
M. Ogden, it is pointed out that To-
cal officials for long period OF
years have not paid corporation
taxes into the school fund as re-
quired under the Indiana constitu-
ton. This payment, he feels, would
solve the shortage problems and
success i'll suit to recover such
taxes more than make up the pres
ent deficits.
More school corporations are COM
ing in for state aid daily, Kirk re-
ports. Six new ones we're qualified
Thursday. He points out that the
increasing demands made by legiS-
lative enactment to increase school
curriculum and standards put the
schools in position to require state
aid.
Total to be aided is 237. he said.
Reports on al, received from
twenty-four counties, show 10 per
cent bankrupt, 80 per cent almost
to the limit of their borrowing capa-
city and so per cent in sound finan-
cial condition.
BY bankrupt, Kirk explains, he
means schools that no longer can
borrow money to carry on.

FAMILY HELD
KIDNAP KEY
State to Seek Bond Boost
for Ohio Suspects.

BIZ United Press
WOOSTER, o., Jan. 11.-Al-
though two weeks have elapsed
since 4-year old Melvin Horst
vanished from the home of his par
ents at Orrville, the state was still
contending today that the key to
the mystery centered around five
members of the family of Elias
Arnold, all under indictment for
child stealing.
While some. claimed that the dis
appearance of the lad would go
down as an unsolved mystery in
face of denials on the part of the
Arnolds the state was preparing in
crease in the $4,000 bonds on which
the Arnolds are held. This indicated
that the states case against the
family was stronger than many
heretofore have believed.
The Arnolds were arrested about
a week ago after information
reached authorities to the effect
that the Arnold family and that of
the boy were on unfriendly terms.
