with much snorting and wiggling,

"ENGLIsH bull dogs possibly
Il are the biggest bluff there
is" Miss Vance says. Their fun
ny, forbidding faces are just
fakes; really they are the most
gentle and lovable of animals.
They primarily are comedians.
From their walk, which is really
the roll of the proverbial drunken
sailor, on, they probably are the
funniest of dogs.
Their curiosity is unlimited.

Vance. His mother, Maid of

There are other interesting "dog
characters" at the Vance kennels.
There is Hilda, who is registered

Vance from her daughter, and is
a member Of an almost extinct
breed at the present time; the

has short hair. Her disposition is
much like that of an English bull.

several generations ago.
A PekingeSe, ''Ah Chinese
Trinket," belongs to Miss Vance.
Boarders at the kennels include
Dobernian PinSchers, Boston ter
riers, smooth haired terriers, and
airedales.

EVEN dogs who can not boast
- of lengthy pedigrees are cared
for at the Vance kennels. Miss
Vance says that she has almost as
many calls to care for mongrel
pets as she does for the pedigreed
ones.
"Some of them are quite inter-
esting dogs" Miss Vance said.
However, I always tell a prospec-
tive dog owner what I believe they
soon find out. 1t costs no more to
care for pedigreed dog than it
does to care for a mongrel."
Miss Vance has a special herd
Of goats ranging on the fields
around the kennel houses. These
are to provide milk for the pups,
who thrive particularly on goat
milk.
She has been raising pedigreed
dogs for nine years.

copies to send to my friends" he
said.
He said that "Old Bill" was not
just one individual, but rather the
spirit of humor and life among the
English soldiers during the early
stages of the war.

my fingers" he said. Even wom-

PONDER DRASTIC
PLAN TO SLASH
CHICAGO TAXES
Abolishing of 307 Units of
Government Is Pro-
posed.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a revolution
airy program to simplify Chicago's
metropolitan government by abol-
ishing BOT of 43s governing units
and save taxpayers more than $40
100000 a year was placed before an
Illinois legislative subcommittee to-
Cay.
The proposals would eliminate
more than 500 elective offices and
cut about 5 per cent from the an
n1al county tax bill.
The program was outlined to a
subcommittee of the legislature on
consolidation Of governments head
ed by Representative Elmer ].
Schnackenberg.
Principal savings would come
through elimination of overlapping
governments.
Among the drastic changes pro-
posed is abolition OF the offices of
sheriff, coroner, county surveyor,
county schools superintendent. The
states attorney, recorder and county
clerk would be appointed instead of
elected.
Two major agencies would be Gre
ated to handle duties now in charge
of scores of small and unintegrated
governing bodies.
These would be a metropolitan
police administration and metro
politan public works administration.
1t was proposed that city depart
ments be cut from forty to eight
or less, and that the city council
membership be decreased to fifteen
from the present figure of fifty.
Governmental units which would
disappear in the proposed reorgani-
zation include thirty EIGHT town
ships, twenty-eight school town
ships, 1T school districts, one 'or-
est preserve district, fifty-six park
districts, the sanitary district of
Chicago, two mosquito abatement
districts, a public health district
and a driveway maintenance dis
trict.
The metropolitan police district
would consolidate the present 155
separate police directories in the
county.

GAS Is SHOWN WASTED

Mileage Decreases Found by Iowa
Expert When Pressure Drops.

Expert When Pressure Drops.
By United Press
AMES, Ia, Dec. 3.-Gasoline
mileage has a direct ratio to tire
imitation, Ray G. Paustian of the
Iowa state highway commission has
discovered after three months of
research.
Soft tires mean wasted gas, Paus-
tian says. His tests show that for
every ten pounds the tire is allowed
to drop below it's normal pressure,
an 8 per cent degree in mileage is
obtained from gasoline.
The experiments also showed that
the tire diameter increased one
half inch as the speed Of the car
varied from zero to sixty miles per
hour. On the cars used in the ex-
pertinent, there were seven fewer
revolutions of the wheels per mile
at sixty miles per hour than there
were at Ave miles per hour.

Paris The waxed mustached, imperial countenance of Emperor William II, former kaiser of Ger many, looking out from the robes and hood of the old Testament prophet Daniel, provides one of the interesting sights of the cathedral of Metz. Reminiscent of the Ger man occupation and of the kaiser.s wartime conceit, this feature adds considerable interest for tourists visiting the famed cathedral.
 While much damage was done 10 the cathedrars details during the German administration, the ancient edifice remains a magnificent monument of the French Middle Ages. It's glass has been admir- ably preserved and, during the oc- cupation, it's interior, in its lesser decorations, was improved.
 This magnificent Gothic struc- ture was begun in the second haif of the 18th century, over 800 years ago, The city of Metz even at that time was thriving. and it is known that two earlier edifices stood upon the site that, the cathedral oc- cupies.

 The oldest of all the buildings known to have occupied this site was an unpretentious chapel, noted as the one church in ravaged Flu rope spared by Attilas destructive Huns.
 Two hundred years passed after the construction of the cathedral was started before it was entirely finished. The year 1522 saw the completion of the choir. the last of the work necessary on the edi- flee. Since 1875, restoration has taken place from time to time. In that year, a Gothic portal was pro-; vided.in place of a previous baro- que one. Another, and richly sculptured, portal was added be-, tween 1880, and 1885. t>
