Ming was one Of these pekinese things
called dogs.
He belonged to the wife Of visiting
officer Of high rank. He was q nice lit
tie dog. if.you like pekes,
He was pugnacious little fellow, who
longed to lick cat, but had never got
up enough nerve to try 1t.
So when he saw the bunny hopping
around the deck, he roared with
delight.
There was his meat!
Before the placid rabbit could realize
that there could be such thing as a
dog which would hurt him, the toy was
on his neck. crashing at him, pulling
him around.
What could the crew do7
The helpless tars stood by, watching
the little dog maui the dead rabbit.
It was at this juncture that Teddy
the bear, came swinging UP on deck;
He rolled up filled with the Joy OF
life, looking for one of his three bud
dies, the dog, the cat or the bunny, OF
any one Of his scores OF large two-legged
friends.
His eyes took in the scene.
He saw the dead rabbit, he saw the
strange small creature worrying II
around.
with 9 roar of rage he threw him
self forward.
Before any one could stop him. Teddy
literally smeared the deck with the dog
that had murdered his pal.
His great right paw struck 1t and
flattened 1t on the deck.
Then, throwing the carcass from him,

while the outraged wife of the high
ranking visitor demanded that he be

hole on deck
There, for the entire day. he held the

The lady was told that the crew only
could pass sentence upon Teddy, so she
gave up any thought Of appeal to the

Teddy lived with his friends for many
months thereafter He finally got so
big that he was sent to a California
zoe. Even then the crew tried to
smuggle him back on board, but the
attempt failed, ard the big bear went
to his new home, and maybe he is
there vet.

A great deal like the past!

The loss Of life too great"
Though motors great resound
And set Q thrilling pace
The world keeps rolling round

RUBBER PRICES
Held FAIR

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 2o.--
Harvey S. Firestope, president OF
the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
papy, asked about the future course
OF rubber the other day, said:
Rubber has advanced from IA
and Is cents pound to 30 cents.
which is fair price. The growers
believe they should getl % cents. |
believe American manufacturers
have supply on hand sufficient
to meet all demands, and IL the
price does advance Il will be due to
speculation and nothing else.
"Stabilization OF the market Is
entirely due to the foresight of
the manufacturers who formed the
syndicate which established th..
supply center in the United states
rather than in London. This sxr.
dicate Is the one thing that .as
enabled US to keep the situation
well in hand. or course, we were
unable to do much last year with
the elimination Of restriction, but
We are IN good shape now"

CLAIMS FOR TAX
REFUNDS DENIED

The District Commissioners yester-
day decided to refuse to settle all future
claims for refunds of special assess
ments where the claim is based on the
ruling of the District Court of Appeals
In which 1t was held that benefit assess
ments could not be levied If the prop
erty owners against whom they were
assessed had not been properly noti-
fed that condemnation proceedings were
to be started.
The law passed at the last session of
Congress giving the Commissioners
power to make settlements of claims up
to $4,000 brought with 1t number Of
problems as to which classes of claims
would be allowed without litigation. The
Commissioners decided that where tax
payers had paid their special assess
ments and afterward pleaded for re-
turn on the ground that they had not
been properly notified, the claim would
not. be allowed. Where taxpayers had
protested, however, or had failed to pay
the assessment, the assessments will be
cancelled If the taxpayer can show that
he was not properly notified Of the con-
demnation proceedings.
