THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

What was the reward given to Tenn.
pleton Jones, kind-hearted gentleman
that he is, for putting out nightly
dinner for the old tramp dog?.
The dog waxed SO fat and healthy, or
the milk, wheat biscuit and meat, that
it began to chase the Jones cat.
1t was then that Temp called halt
on his generosity.
The old dog was getting along SC
well that probably 1t could go 1t alone
from now on.
Evidently, he thought, she has found
some home.
He would withdraw her nocturnal
meal, since she seemed to be so full
O. pep.
Evidently he had tided her over her
time of need.
Now she was chasing the Jones cat
The friend Of animals felt a sensa-
alton Of happiness at thus doing good
deed in what at times appeared to be
a very evil world.
He recalled the day the big police
type dog appeared in the community,
very much crestfallen and very lop-
cared.
She howled on the parking all night
long and in the morning skulked away.
X X 4
She was afraid
Jones had attempted to lure her with
bowl of milk, but she loped in the
other direction.
Later in the day Git was Sunday
the tramp dog skulked up the drive
way and attempted to nose the lid of
the garbage can.
Her ribs stuck out to an alarming
degree
Plainly she was hungry, but for no
lure would she come up.
So Templeton Jones, being a prac-
tical man. for all his poetic tempera-
ment. solved the problem in typical
fashion
If the old dog would not come up
in the daylight, perhaps she would do
so at night.
Events proved him right.
The next morning the large pan of
milk and biscuit was licked clean.
1t might have been a cat, of course,
except for the biscuit.
Not even a hungry cat would have
consumed the biscuit.
A cat might have sampled the milk,
but only a dog would have eaten the
wheat biscuit
The next night Jones obligingly left
a nice slice of beef wrapped securely
in paper. so that the old dog would
have the fun of unwrapping it.
There Is nothing that a hungry dog
likes more than to find bag full of
meat scraps in garbage can
1t loves to nose the lid off. drag out
the paper and then with its clumsy
but efficient paws unwrap the meat.
Jones found the meat paper out in
the yard, where the old dog had
dragged it, probably to enjoy the feast
at full length
Poor old fellov!" thought Jones.
All dogs are fellow" when you don't
know them
There seemed to be no way OF
making the acquaintance of this ami
NAL, it was so shy and reserved. so
flied with the possibilities of the mis-
deeds of humanity
1t seemed to want to be friendly, but
the sound Of a voice was too much
for it.

I'M the Oakland Tribune

From the Oakland Tribune.
There have been many estimates of
the cost society pays to crime. A re-
cent one, made by Maj. E. w. Brown,
chief of police OF Washington, does not
60 into the grand totals, but has 1t
that during good years the revenues
collected by one gang, that of Al Ca
pone, was $50 million dollars or two
thousand times the annual salary Of
the President of the United States"
Present necessities may be bringing
it home to the public that the crime
problem is an economic as well as a
moral one. We. spend billions because
OF offenses against the law and are
thinking of many purposes for which
that money could be spent. Maj. Brown,
in his address, predicts that public
opinion and support which shall de-
mand the separation of crime from
politics, the Suppression Of the GRIM
tnal and the end Of the gang.

Next Holiday.
Sailed away from Labor day,
Swiftly and serenely,
Holding courage. come what may,
Watching ever keenly.

And be glad we're living;
Each will do his proper part,
Soon We'll make Thanksgiving.

RULES MANY STORES
MUST REMODEL
Beverage Permits Board Requires
Changes in Beer Selling
Places.

A large number of delicatessen stores
will have to remodel their shops before
they can obtain annual "on sale" beer
licenses, according to a ruling by the
Beverage Permits Board. A small num-
Der of drug stores are similarly affected.
The remodeling will be for the pur-
pose Of providing separate rooms for
the serving of the beverage, which may
be done in some cases by erection of
partitions. If the proprietors of such
stores refuse to make alterations after
reasonable time, their temporary per-
mitS will be revoked, officials said today.
This decision was reached after men,
bers Of the Beverage Board. accom-
panied by DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer
president Of the Board Of District Com
missioners, made personal inspection of
conditions in about dozen ''on sale
stores.
1t is estimated roughly that between
100 and 125 delicatesSens and about Il
drug stores are concerned, but large
number Of these are expected to make
the alterations.
DelicateSsens and drug stores are per-
mitted to sell the legal 80 per cent beer
for consumption on their premises if
the major portion of their business is
service of food. If not, they can have
only off sale" permits for the sale OF
bottled beer.

tomobile carrying Stockburger and two
employees of the company from a bank
where they obtained the money. They
went to the office on the second floor
and the policeman remained on guard
while the employees entered an inner
office to place the money in envelopes
for the $50 workers at the factory
few minutes later the robbers burst
into the room and fired. While one
killer stood guard, tho other two rushed
into the inner office, picked up the
money and fled downstairs The three

says he was an English bishop who died
in 862 A. D. A century later he was
made saint and it was decided to
move his burial place within church.
But on the day his remains were to be
moved, there began storm that lasted
40 days and nights. This was taken as
a sign of heavenly disapproval and the
saint continued to lie where he was.
