Islands Given Over to
Species of Wild Life

1t is recorded that between the east
coast of Africa and Madagascar is an
island inhabited solely by dogs. The
name, says the Detroit News, is Juan
De Nova. 1t is stated that in the old
days of the sail East Iudiamen and
Portuguese sailors used to stop at this
island, which was uninhabited, for
fresh water, fruits and turtles. Domes.
tic dogs of every breed carried on
some of these boats often escaped to
the island and were left behind. To-
day the descendants of this mongrel
horde have turned wild and have TAX

Surroundings Count

Developers of residential districts
are headed for the wall if they do
not supply desirable surroundings be-
fore putting their property on the mar
ket, according to an expert. who gath
cred his experience in the develop
ment of II different subdivisions.
"Men know today that no home can
be more desirable than the desirable
ity of it's surroundings" he said. "Men
want those surroundings before they
build. They seek home site with
established characteristics which will
insure them against any 'guesses' in
the future"

Guard Against Fire

The evils of fire-inviting construc-
ton have received tremendous public
ity of late. Our annual fire loss is
estimated at $5OO,OOO,O0O. Builders
and owners are coming to realize that
all construction should be truly fire
resistant, whether built of wood fully
protected or of incombustible mate
rial. The superiority of metal lath
and plaster protection for wood studs
and joints has been recognized for
years through general knowledge of
the material and successful stopping
of fire in many buildings.

Community Economy

An interesting example of commu-
nifty economy and efficiency was set
forth in report presented before the
North Carolina school of economy. By
conveying children in trucks from out
lying districts of Cumberland county
to six consolidated schools it was
found possible to have $3.50 pupils
taught by 80 teachers at an average
cost per child of less than $3S for the
school year. Another county reported
a saving of $4,000 by means of the
consolidated schools plan. Through
this arrangement the state is able not
only to effect substantial savings but
also to pay higher salaries to its teach
ers and to provide better buildings and
equipment for its school children.

There are distinct breeds of black
and silver foxes. Silver foxes are a
freak Of nature, but the breeding Of
them has been carried to such a point
that they are now an established
breed. Silver foxes are worth much
more than black foxes owing to the
fact that red foxes can be dyed black
whereas there is no way of camoufiag-
ing silver foxes. The raising of silver
foxes has been carried on for close
to forty years.
