Tribute to the Dog

"The intelligence of the dog"
says Albert Payson Terhune, "is so
uncanny at certain times that it
takes precedence over anything pos
sessed by man. Dogs feel states of
mind, attitude, emotions which must
be exhibited in clumsy words to
men. Long, long ago. their first an
cestors made their compact of
friendship and affection with men.
That friendship has grown into an
intelligent bond as well as an emo
tional one. And the brains of the
dogs have commingled with the
brains of man. In many instances,
the dogs brains have not been in
ferior."

MEDICAL HEAD
Medical Society of Delaware
Completes Tw0-Day Ses-
sion at LeWeS
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED

DR.. William II. Speer, of Will
mington, was unanimously elected
president of the Medical Society Of
Delaware after his name had been
offered from the floor by DR.. ]. ID.
Niles of Townsend, at the conclud-
ing session of the society's conven-
tion at Lewes last Wednesday, In
placing DR.. Speer's name before
the convention, Dr. Niles expressed
the hope that the new president
would encourage the medical pro
fession in Delaware to take greater
interest in proposed legislation af-
fecting their work for the public
health. Other officers were nam
ed Tuesday, but a number of COM
mittees were appointed Wednes-
day.
Seek Larger Appropriation
One Of the most important ac-
tions of the society was the adop-
tion Of resolution calling for a
large State appropriation to aid the
battle against the increase in tu-
berculosis that has recently been
noted in Delaware. The resolution
was urged by the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society, of Whining
ton, which pointed out that both
the Brandywine Sanitorium for
whites, and the Edgewood Sanitor-
ium for negroes, is lacking in
funds sufficient to even utilize their
limited bed facilities. Also the
Anti-Tuberculosis Society pointed
out that the list of applications at
these two institutions has been
steadily growing and that Della
ware was at the top of the list of
five states which showed increases
in tuberculosis during the past
year. The resolution adopted plac-
ed the Medical Society on record as
favoring that the next General AS
sembly make appropriations suf-
each Of the available beds at the
two sanitoriums and that addition
al funds be appropriated to Ensure
immediate sanatorium care and
treatment for those of our citizens
who are now denied this care and
treatment because of an insuffic-
lent appropriation" The society in
the resolution, also endorsed a leg
islative appropriation sufficient to
increase the bed capacity at the
two sanatoriums "by whatever
number it is felt will be required
with the next five or ten years to
adequately provide care and treat
ment for those of our citizens who
will need sanitorium treatment"

ROAD BUILDING TO
AID UNEMPLOYED
Emergency Relief Act To Pro-
vide FUNDS For the High
way Work
136 MILLION AVAILABLE

WashingtOn.-The emergency re
lief and construction act recently
signed by President Hoover insures
some measure of early unemploy-
ment relief through road construc-
tion, declared T. FL. Cutler, presi-
dent of the American Road Builders
association, in discussing road build
ing activities.
while the S136,OOO,OOO appropria-
tion for highways is only small
part Of the $2,122,OOOOOO relief
measure, it is probable that road
building will be the first work un-
dertaken," stated Mr.. Cutler. MANY
states have plans ready so that a
number of the projects can be be-
gun Immediately"
The highway funds provided in
the total of S136,0OO,OOO are: $780,
100000 for emergency construction
on the federal aid highway system ;
S5,O0O,O00 for national forest high
ways; S5.OOO,OOO for improvements
of national park roads, and $2,OOO,-
600 for roads through public lands.
States May Borrow.
'sIl addition to the direct high
way appropriation, $3OO,OO0,O0O is
made available for relief and work
relief, including highway and street
work. This money will be loaned to
states, counties and cities by the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
on request of governors of states.
Since highway and street work is a
popular and effective method of pro-
viding immediate work relief, a con-
siderable part Of this money may
be requested by municipalities and
counties, Mr.. Cutler believes.
'Only beginning in meeting un-
employment conditions can be made
with the funds available" declared
Mr.. Cutler, but such relief will be
widely distributed throughout the
country. The provision permitting
cities to use the relief funds for
street work, and the fact that the
relief funds do not have to be
matched with local money, assures
considerable municipal highway
work. Restrictions as to the amount
of federal participation per mile
also have been removed.
Employment benefits will not be
confined to the workers on the roads
directly but will extend to those
working in factories, plants and
mines producing road equipment
and materials and also on transpor-
tation lines conveying them to the
construction sites.
Because no part Of the emergency
highway funds must be matched by
an equal amount from the states,
regular state funds are released for
new projects. The emergency fed
eral-aid money will be used in lieu
of state money to match regular
federal aid in a number of states.
Additional new work will be Great
ed through the releasing of federal
aid allotments in states that lack
the necessary state funds to cover
regular federal-aid promptly"
The emergency highway appropri-
alton will be distributed to the
states in accordance with the regu-
lar federal-aid requirements on the
basis Of population, area and mile
age of post roads.
What States Will Get.
The amount of money each state
will receive. as computed for the
congressional hearings, is as fol-
lows:

A smart, perSOnable girl lost her

assets as an education, a knowl-
edge of stenography, and a port
able typewriter. She also figured
that there must be number of per-
sons in a big city who had no use
for a permanent secretary, but who
hated to write or answer letters
The only way she knew 10 find them
was to look up names in the tele-
phone book and then try to sell her
idea by a hOuse-to-houSe canvass.
Her proposition was that she would
come once a week, take dictation.
and type letters for a dollar an
hour, with minimum Of one hours
work. Getting the first customer
was the hardest. Now her business
has worked up to $50 a week. That
is to say. she has an equivalent of
five customers a day. One recon-
mends her to another and she is
hoping to increase her business 50
as to gross $50 weekly. The thing
is, of course, to try to get as many
of her clients as possible in one
part of the city.

SOME SIDE LIGHTS
OF NEW YORK CITY
Told By Walter Trumbull in
His Own Immical Way
of Doings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

The more we learn of the peer
racket" here in New York, the more
remarkable we find it. 1t really
isn't a racket. For some time it
has been, in the main, a highly or
ganized and orderly business. Those
engaged in it want no trouble. Gun
play, with its attendant publicity, is
the last thing they desire.
The beer supply of New York is
controlled by possibly six men.
They are the manufacturers and
wholesalers. The beer they furnish
is of fine quality, made by experts
from the best materials. Distribu-
ton is scientific. Greater New
York is divided into districts. with
clearly defined boundaries. In each
of these districts there is a dis
tributOr, jObber. or middle man
call him what you please. If he
attempts to do business outside his
allotted district. discipline is swift.
oh. no; he is not put on the spot"
or beaten up or anything of that
sort. That is not the manner in
which big business works. His
supply is cut off. That leaves him
an Outcast. Should he try to get
rough, something might happen to
him, of course Many engaged in
the trade were pretty tough citi-
zens before brains high up showed
them there was more profit in being
business men. They are not going
to let a few outlaws" jeopardize
their highly comfortable living. And
an outsider who becomes obnoxious
also may be dealt with firmly.

front guy for smarter men,"
This same man told me that,
counting all types. from the room
back of store to the elaborate es-
adjustments. there were $4,000
speakeasies in Greater New York.
Add the proprietors and employees
of these places to drivers, work
men and all the rest, and you will
see that the result is quite an in
dustry. OF course, a great part of
the money obtained goes for protec-
tion and graft. The beer men have
nothing to do with the importation
of hard liquor. That is a separate
racket, in the hands of half dozen
different gangs.
Considerably fewer models are
coming to the doors of New York
artists. Many of these girls had
jobs and modelled in their spare
time. The extra money they made
in this manner went for Iuxuries-
theaters. movies and additional ar
ticles of dress they could not 9TH
erwise afford. Now, many of them
have lost their jobs and are not
good enough at modelling to make
their entire living in that fashion.
The result is that dozens of them
have gone back to the old home
town. The suitors they regarded
as too steady and prosaic have be-
gun to look pretty good to them.
The stock of play boys has gone
down.

turers and inventors of hair dyes

inning he hit for three bases,
and in sliding into third base
his foot struck the bag with
such force as to cause a frac-
ture OF the leg between the
ankle and knee.
Cochranville won the game
in the 18th, despite Paul's
clouting. The injured player
was taken to Coatsville, Pa.
