THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

which nightly make the rounds Of the
garbage cans.
Have you not been awakened In the
night and heard the chatter Of q gar
bage can top?
Cats" one thinks.
The chances are. however, that 1t is
a dog out on the lonesome trail.
And 1t is this habit of independence
which must be broken. II the dog is to
be faithful servant and friend of
mankind. one which not only loves its
master, and obeys him, because he
knows best for it, but one which there
by comes to have more faith in its
master and therefore more respect and
love for him.
Mankind attempts to inculcate some
of this honest respect and love into
members Of its own race by wholesome
precept and the like.
X 4
Dogs, however, cannot read.
Nor will they always listen wisely to
the voice of admonition. even II 1t Is
the masters voice.
Especially when they are just round
ing from the puppy stage into young
doghood.
Then they become stubborn brutes
whose whole life may be ruined, in so
far as they are to become faithful and
welcome companions in human society,
If steps are not taken to instill the
fear OF respect into their doggy hearts
and minds.
So the whip enters, not into the hide
OF dogs, but simply into the hands of
the owner.
1t will be found that along with the
lash divine quality, in some measure,
must enter the mind and heart of the
dog owner at the same instant.
This is patience.
He who hath not patience has no
right to own a dog.
The whip unguided by patience Is
simply an instrument of hurt.
Held In leash by patience, and guided
mere by mind and affection than by
hand and anger, the whip becomes the
full equivalent Of a canine college
course.
1t is quite possible to give a dog a
taste OF the whip without in any way
actually damaging. or even causing
real pain. to the animal
And that Is the only way to use a
whip.
The whip should never be used ex-
cept when the owner means business
II should be Kept in plain sight, how
ever, where both dog and owner can
see it.
Thus in time it comes in the dog
mind to be associated with the dis
pleasure of the master. not with the
punishment of the master
Man may we'll thank Heaven for this
dispensation, which prevents his faith
ful friend from holding anything
against him.
A dog that insists on chasing after
automobiles, for instance. needs the
whip.
After the habit of running and
barking after cars is established. it is
almost impossible to break it. Often
the only thing which will stop it, as it
too often does, alas, is the fatal misstep
which ends the life of the dog beneath
scme car.
One or two light cuts with the whip
over the well padded posterior of the
dog is far kinder than to permit the
animal to run hundred chances a day
OF perishing miserably beneath the
wheels.
1t will be realized by the person most
unfamiliar with dogs that the human
being in the case, rather than the
whip, is the real trainer.
The whip is incidental
II it is used each time with real
discretion, the dog has enough common
sense to realize that you are doing
something for its own good.
A child might say. "Oh. yeah?" but
a dog simply looks at you, and real

perhaps held its own with the ancient
ways better than these other ancientrieS
have The rights of woman in mar
riage, and to an extent out of it. ere
here set out for the modern woman's
attention What were her property
rights along the back reaches of this
: rough" road CT matrimony? Not any
thing to brag about at first, or even
later: The woman could own that
which the man did not desire-female
gear, dresses and hairpinS, for instance.
! Later, when the dowry plan begins, the
wife may hold on to that which she
brought to the household.
The topic of woman's rights, so wide
! ly engrossing today. took its rise away
back in those far days of early be-
J ginnings. Slowly it grew, through
many an interesting innovation, through
many an advance of hidden significance,
till, later, it blossomed into a clearly
recognizable step forward on the part
of women A long, long story and a
rough, rough road. but an exhilarating
! one to travel It should be illumi-
mating as well for future pilgrims, both
men and women.
| And the author goes on through the
period of plural wedlock into the pres
ent era of marriage. He talks of
divorce in its earlier start and in the
course that it has run. Discussing the
social advantage Of monogamy, Mr.
Keller moves to a consideration of pos
terity and the family in its effect upon
society as whole. Earlier, however,
he speaks of it from the basis of desire,
desire for family or opposition to it.
with a summary of these two points of
view in their effect upon both the fam
lily itself and the family in its social
influence. A book of great detail as
well as of great sweep. Too much, the
average reader is inclined to say. Not
too much, however, If one desires, in
the various fields projected here. an
adequate, objective guide, reinforced at
innumerable points by clearly expert
and selected information, all given as
waymarks along the rough road that,
without doubt, is the kind Of road man
has to travel. Educetive, pertinent and

MONARCHY PLANS
DENIED BY REICH

BERLIN, June 10.-The determina-
ton of the new government of Chan
cellor Franz Won Papen to revise the
German constitution was announced to
the Reichsrat yesterday by the minister
OF the interior. Wilhelm ven Gayl.
The minister insisted such revision
would not in any sense restore the
monarchy, but his pronouncement did
not say just what trend the revision
would take.
Reforms Predicted
zone competent authority recently
said reforms of the Weimar constitu-
tion of 1919 creating the German Re
public were inevitable soon. These were
listed as creation of a single Reich
Parliament; enlargement of the powers
OF the Reich as Cpposeo to the states;
the construction OF new regions of suit
able size, including elimination of the
200-odd enclaveS or subdivisions, and
reform in PruSSia)
The Weimar constitution the min
lister said. has been since its incep-
ton frequently punctured by legisla-
ton, and in the opinion of most au-
thorities, needs revision. To this task
we shall earnestly address ourselves.
But ! want to emphasize this: The
talk of revision, in the sense of reStora-
tion of the monarchy, is foolish and
harmful
Loyal to Monarchy.
True to my birth and training, I
am of the opinion that the monarchy
is the best form OF government Tor
people who dwell in the heart of Eu-
rope. l am forever mindful of the
services rendered the nation by the
former imperial royal house.
But I am convinced this Is not a
matter which ought to occupy us now.
Our chief task is to alleviate the coun-
try's distress.
Il am utterly against introducing a
new element of confusion by opening
up any question of the form of the
state to which l have sworn allegiance
before the President. On this, the
chancellor and other members of the
government are fully agreed.
We have been labeled as reaction

SENATE BLOCKS
ALL HOOVER
APPO|NTEES

An impenetrable blockade was
erected in the Senate today by
the Democrats against confirma-
ton Of all political appointments
by President Hoover.
The blockade will prevent con-
0irmation of all the Presidents
appointments except those re-
garded as routine promotions in
the military and quasi-military
branches Of the Government. All
these exceptions must be ap-
proved individually in the Demo
cratic conference before confirma-
tion Is permitted.
This rule was adopted by the
Democrats to keep President
Hoover from imposing a long list
of Republican appotntees on the
administration of President-elect
FRANKLIN D. Roosevelt. It will
Keep Hoover-selected Democrats
from office just as well as staunch
Republicans.

Miss Helen
Keller Has
Cop Called

Middletown, Conn. - What
would you do if you were blind
and deaf and discovered suddenly
in the Grand Central Station you
had lost your purse and had only
five minutes in which to catch a
train to keep a speaking engage
ment in a distant city? Probably
you would do just what Miss Hell
en- Keller, the celebrated deaf,
blind woman did.
Miss Keller had agreed to speak
in this city in the interests of the
$2,OO0,o 0o endowment fund she
is raising for the American Foun-
dalton for the Blind. When she
got to Grand Central Station in
New York with her secretary,
Miss Polly Thomson, she found she
had lost her purse. The train left
in five minutes.
"A policeman" exclaimed Miss
Keller. ''What policeman?' SIAM
mered Miss Thomson. ANY po-
liceman," calculated the apostle OF
achievement. To the nearest po-
liceman Miss Thomson explained
their plight. The policeman was
all attention.
"Many times" he had heard of
Miss Keller. Now he had an OPP
portunity to do something for her
in the flesh. Quickly he negotiated
a loan and saw her On the train.
Miss Keller says that this Incl
dent proves her contention that
this world is a good place in which
to live.
