Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!
Among my many anonymous COM
munications this week was the fol-
lowing:
Dear Scoop:-If you want an inter-
esting subject for your column next
week please write something about
"dogs."
Did you know that they were chang
ing the name of Pennington street to
Dog street, and that a resident on
that street had leased property and
ground to take care of all the stray
dogs and ones belonging to the people
of Oakland for the next year to come?
Please don't forget.
Inasmuch as 1 live on Pennington
street, 1 believe they ought to con-
suit me before changing its name.
If this request had come the day Ray
Teets accidentally ran over my up
and coming" puppy, Broker, I could
have written a tear-wringing essay on
dogs. But right now the only inter-
esting things 1 know about dogs are
that they bark at night, they have
cold noses, and use their tails to reg
| lister joy, anger, contentment, rest
lessness and indecision, and lot of
other things too numerous to men
ton.
All can say is that if they hold a
convention for stray dogs up on our
street, certainly hope it isn't under
my window.

Hold Everything, SEE You!
Turned into Scoop by merchant of
Oakland:
Fifty years ago women wore hoop
skirts, bustles, petticoats, corsets, cot
ton stockings, high button shoes, ruff
fled cotton drawers, flannel night
gowns, puffs in their hair. They did
their own cooking, baking, cleaning,
washing, ironing, raised big families,
went to church on Sunday and were
too busy to get sick.
Men wore whiskers, square hats,
Ascot ties, red flannel underwear, big
watch and chain, chopped wood for
| the stoves, bathed once week, rode
bicycles, buggies and sleighs, went in
| for politics, worked twelve hours a
day and lived to ripe old age.
Stores burned oil lamps, carried ev-
erything in stock from a needle to a
threshing machine, trusted every
body, never took an inventory, placed
orders for goods year in advance,
and always made money.
Today women wear silk stockings,
low shoes, an ounce of underwear,
have bobbed hair, smoke, paint and
powder, drink cocktails, play bridge,
drive cars, have pet dogs and go in
for politics.
Men have high blood pressure, wear
no hats (and some no hair), shave
their whiskers, shoot golf, battle twice
a day, drink poison, play the stock
market, ride in airplanes, never go to
bed the same day they get up, are
misunderstood by women of the home,
work five hours day, play ten and
die young.
Stores have electric lights, cash reg
listers, elevators, never what a Gus
toner wants, trusts nobody, take in
ventory daily, never buy in advance,
have overhead, markup, markdown,
quota, budget, stock control, annual
and semi-annual, end-of-month, dollar

The morning before We got
into Hong Kong-four days
after the other occurrence-I
found the finest and healthiest
tiger in my collection in a state
of convulsions. Frothing at the
mouth e.ld shaking violently
with each SpaSm that seized
him, he lay stretched out in
his cage, a pitiful sight. He
was unquestionably dying the
death of an animal that has
been poisoned. He showed all
the signs.
I was boiling mad. Someone
had poisoned that animal and
I meant to find out who it was.
It was only natural that I
should find myself Suspecting

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

When I returned, about 20
minutes later, a strange sight
greeted my eyes. The Hinan
chief steward and two of his
boys, knives in hand, were pre-
pairing to start Skinning the
tiger. The Cantonese bos'n was
giving them a hot argument,
had promised the animal to
him, he was saying, and he
meant to have, it. He was the
rightful owner of that tigers
gall bladder and he had no
intention of letting anyone
take it away from him.
At this juncture Lal inter
vened. Which of these China
men did you give it to, mas
ter?" he asked; adding that If
I didn't quickly decide I'd see
a Chinaman skinned instead of
a tiger.
I told the bos'n he was mis-
taken, that had not promised
him the tiger. The slant-eyed
roughneck had the nerve to
call me a liar, at the same
time giving one Of the Hinan
boys the elbow and knocking
him over.
I was tempted then and
there to pry that bos'n loose
from his front teeth. But it's
bad business to hit a member
Of a ships crew, and, by an
epoch-making feat Of restraint,
I didn't strike a blow. I con-
fined myself to the compare
lively lady-like business of grab
bing the rascal by the back of
the neck and sending him
spinning a few feet-not more
than a dozen at the outside.
He banged his head against
the rail and wasn't even knocked
out, which shows that an ami
NAL collector can be gentle
when he wants to be.

Fortunately the mate Can
Englishman like, all the Off
cers) had taken in the alter
cation from the bridge. He was
on the scene in time to cuff
the bos'n around a bit when
had finished maSsaging him.
After this occurrence there
were some puZzling develop

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN OLENDENING, MD.

BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M.D'
The treatment of pernicious
anemia by liver deit is the dis
covery of two Boston physicians,
a triumph of which the United
States may we'll be proud.
These two gentlemen, Drs.
Minot and Murphy-and with
them should be named DR.. G.
H. Whipple, who did the foun-
dation experimental work-have
contributed more to civilization
than all the Presidents of the
United States put together, and
all the Senators and Supreme
Court justices who ever lived,
thrown in for good measure.
Since the treatment of the dis.
ease is now so satisfactory. it is
we'll to let people know the
symptoms and signs of the
disease, because many people
have it, especially in the early
stages, without being aware of
it.
First, as to age incidence. Al
most without exception it is a
disease of middle life. Fifty is
probably the exact age at which
it is commonest. It rarely oc-
ours before 40 or over 10.
A middle-aged person then
may suspect perniciouS anemia
with any of the following signs:
Cd A sore tongue-that is a
curiously regular symptom of
the disease; CD inability to walk
readily in the dark or to stand
with the eyes closed without
SWaying; CD a peculiar yellow
tinge to the skin coming on
over a period of a few weeks;
"a digestive disturbances of
slight severity and slow onset
particularly loss of appetite and
mild diarrhoea.
The treatment by liver is to
eat about half a pound of liver
a day. 1t must be kept up for
life. If liver is not relished or
its daily consumption becomes
monotonouS, the patient may
prefer to take liver extract,
which is a crystalline substance
of somewhat salty, but pleasant,
taste. Another substance used
is called "ventriculin," made
from the stomach wall, and
equally as good as liver extract.
For such patients. a little
book called Living the Liver
Diet" by a physician, DR.. FL
mer A. Miner, who is COM
PEELED to live it, may be recon-
mcnded. published by c. V.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

Because the furs are the most
noticeable thing about the fur
coats, and their most important
feature, we will talk of furs first,
and show a coat that illustrates
one of the newest and most
popular ways of using long
haired furs. And it's nice to
think that fashion thrusts this
generous use of furs on us in a
season when they are so low
priced, when even if we are not
as well'off as we could wish, we
can still afford good furs.
Even the tax that the Govern
ment has now levied on furs
does not put their prices much
higher, and besides, many of
the furs on these early coats
were bought before the tax went
on. and the store is passing the
advantage on to its customers.
And, of course, you know that
the best furs are used on the
first coats, and that's the main
reason for buying a coat right
now.
ALI Foxes are Good
Long-haired furs are most
popular, the foxes first, then
wolf, skunk, and the other furs
with sweeping length. OF the
foxes, silver seems best; then
blue, though there are always an
enormous amount Of black foxes
or black skunk or lynx worn by
women who prefer the chic of
an all-black coat, Red fox is
youthful, and will be worn too.
Then comes the Short-haired
furs, by no means neglected,
and, taken as a class, almost as
popular as the others. Squirrel,
especially when it is dyed in
blue-fox color, beaver. kolinsky,
mink, fitch, seal, and others
are used in many smart ways.
The FOur.Way Collar
One of the best ways to use
long,haired furs is in a swirl
collar, as on the coat we have
sketched today. 1t can be worn
high, low, one.sided, as shawl.
and crushed about the throat.
For its versatility, it will be
sure to be popular, and it's ex-
tremely becoming because Of the
way it stands up in swirl,

Blonde went out with her bot
tie of water.
Leaning out on the fire es-

water on the thirsty plants,
watching it seep quickly into
the dry soil. AS she emptied
the bottle into the last pot. she
glanced down at the crowded
street below. Attracted by a
fluttering handkerchief, Blonde
saw her father coming across
the street, waving up at her.
Blonde waved back and called
down a greeting.

down a few steps, put her arms
around his neck, and gave him
a big hug.

him up the remaining steps.

Tricks
Valuing Dummy

High card values are the
same for Dummy and Declarer.
Count four trumps in dummy
as worth one.half trick, and
five or more trumps as worth
one full trick.
The Declarer counts no tricks
for ability to ruff. He must
not count his values twice.
Dummy counts ability to trump
side suits as follows: Having
three or more trumps, 2 tricks
for a void suit; one trick for a
singleton; u trick for a double
ton. Having only two trumps,
count only one trick for a void
suit, and p trick for a single
ton.

Low Gard Values

Low card values are the aver
age playing values of long
cards. AS a rule low card
values apply only to the hold
ings of Declarer and Dummy.
Some times these values ap'
ply at No Trumps to strong
holdings held by the defenders,
that enable suites to be estab-
lished against the Declarer.
An established suit is one
headed by sufficient solid hon.
ors to be worth a trick for
each card of the suit held.
Ace-King- -Queen-Jack is an es-
tabliShed suit. AceKing- Queen
