Woman and Dogs.

The dog days of the Nation are not
confined to few hot weeks of Sum-
mer. We are in the canine period of
our proud country'S history. New York
may not have as many poodles as Con-
stantinople, but it has enough. But
why?
Every dog has his day, and his day
Is. now. There they are on the front
seat OF the limousines, at the end of
strings, under pink ribbons, or in the
laps of ladies. Now, just why do women
have such fondness for bow-wows?
II you want to be practical, you can
state that woman wants dog around
the house or apartment for the sake of
protection. She may have a burglar
alarm or be in touch with the police
department, but she's safer she thinks,
when she has a touchy Pomeranian in
the place.
But there's more to feminine daft
ness over dogs than Is found in the
idea of protection. Women crave the
companionship of dumb animals, and
II they can't get men they can always
buy ki-yoodles. Then they'll have
something to kiss, even though Fidos
nose is cold.
When you say woman" you say ina
ternity," and there you are. For woman
always wants 10 mOCner some SORT OF
helpless creature like baby, a dog or
man. She likes to feed and pet and
worry about such beings, and when she
can't get anything better, she tries it on
the dog
II man shows fondness for a dog
it's because the animal can be his
companion in the woods or the mining
camp. Then a man likes something to
boss, and if nobody else will obey him.
the dog will.
Woman may feel these things, too
but her great idea in the dog business
is to have something to care for. When
you see swell-looking woman put a
blanket on some mutt and tie ribbon
around his neck, you see what I mean
Every woman would like to lead a
man around and hold him in leash, but
when the man balks at this sort of out
door sport, she gets dog. She can
lead him, all right.
If you ask me, I'll say that I'm not
stuck ON this modern dog fancying. II
I can't get something that walks on
two legs, I'm not going to have any
thing with four.
oh! I'm not saying that we are all
going to the boW-wows, but do think
that we are too dippy about our animal
| friends. And such dogs, too!
! But then, woman doesn't care much
t what kind of creature she has, If
he'll only stand nursing and petting
This applies to both dogs and men.

Fair Return on Money.

This week an investment expert called
our attention to the fact that fair re-
turn on good stock today was little
over per cent year. This statement
may seem bit strange when we recall
that here and there a savings bank Of
fers one Az per cent for ones money
If women still put their money in stocks
at a half per cent under that there
must be a good reason, or several good
reasons.
OF course, there are good reasons
The dividend paid on q share of stock
is not the only return on ones money.
1t may be only one Of few returns
First of all. there is the fact that be-
sides drawing interest on ones money
in tn. form of dividend the value OF
the stock may increase so that ones
principal becomes greater by far.
If one leaves savings bank interest in
the bank one may gradually cause the
principal to appreciate. On the other
hand, one may both enjoy the interest
and still benefit by appreciation of CAPT.
tai invested.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

The returns on stocks are not limited
to dividends or rises in value of shares.
| There are also stock dividends issued
from time to time by various companies.
These dividends are In the form of new
stock issues to which all shareholders
are entitled, depending on the number
of shares they now hold.
When a stock arrives at an extremely
high price it Is not unusual to find
company splitting it up. This generally
results in a quick rise of the new shares
because they are cheaper, hence they
have a wider market.
From time to time women have dis
covered that their stocks in various COM
ranieS have entitled them to rights"
These rights are generally options to
buy pro rata shares of new stock issues
that are highly desirable. When these
rights have real value they may be sold
at handsome profit by those holding
them.
It will be seen from this, therefore,
that the return of a stock Is nultifold,
or at least 1t may be- The savings bank,
with its equal or higher rate of interest.
however, fulfills purpose for which no
stock Is substitute.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. ID.

Mindful Of the power Of suggestion
shall say nothing about the relation Of
the writing center and the speech CEN
ter, further than the information al
ready given. But Is is we'll to note that
the old-time antipathy of teachers to-
ward natural left-handedness in chill
dren Is passing, and the modern. well
trained teacher does not attempt to in
terfere in the child'S preference for
the left hand, once the teacher has
observed that the left-handedness is
natural. The we'll trained teacher today
even resistS the misguided demands of
certain parents that the left-handed
child be broken" of its left-handedness
have criticized teachers pretty free
ly from time to time about this very
thing. and have based my remarks
on the complaints of readers, complaints
about the attempts of teachers to en-
force right -handedness on naturally
left handed children. These complaints
still trickle in, apparently in the same
volume as for many years past. But
lately am glad to find another note,
the assurance that up-to-date teachers
no longer interfere with natural left
handedneSS.

he Is one Of the few intimate friends Of
| President Hoover. Hence, what he
might say must be listened to with re-
spect.
Whether there is any foundation for
this belief, the fact remains that Hoover
and Walcott are the warmest Of friends.
Their friendship began in the war
days, when the two were engaged In
American relief administration in Eu-
rope The Senator was one of HoOver'S
most valued aides. An example Of how
close the two were together in those days
| is afforded by the fact that they lived
| together much of the time they were
| abroad.
This friendship took q more definite
| form at the Republican convention at
| Chicago in 1920. Walcott was men,
Der of that famous quartet-the others
were Franklin Fort of New Jersey. John
F.. Lucey of Texas and Mark L. Requea
of California, all associated with Hoover
| in European relief work-which exerted
every effort to have him nominated for
| the presidency.
| When Warren G. Harding was nomi-
mated 1t was these four who hired a
taxicab. rode practically all night long
and before alighting therefrom solemnly
swore that they never would let up in
their efforts until Herbert Hoover was
in the White House +
1t also was interesting to note when
President Hoover decided to lease his
former home on S street in Washing
ton, near the Woodrow Wilson mansion.
that 1t was Senator Walcott who
moved In.
Mutual friends of the President and
Senator believe that love for the out
doors is the basic reason for their in
| timacy.
Hoover's love of fishing is too well
known for comment. Walcott's attach
ment for everything pertaining to ma
ture even surpasses that of his friend.
The Senator was head of the game
and fish commission in Connecticut for
many years. and has done more, per-
hapS, than any other man in that State
for the cause of conservation. His skill
as salmon angler is known far and
wide. and he has made frequent visits
to the coasts of Newfoundland in his
quest.
He holds membership in several gun
clubs in the South, where he goes to
shoot duck. At his home in Litchfield
Hills near Norfolk, Conn, he has a
huge lake which is a refuge every year
for ducks on their flights north and
south.
