Uncommon Sense
Tolerance
BY JOHN BLAKE.
BY JOHN BLAKE.

7 LATELY stopped in at a farm
house to get a glass Of milk.
While the milk was being supplied
i to me by very kind and chatty
old lady observed two cats,
three dogs and a family of little
chickens in the yard.
The chickens were indulging their
appetites with something they picked
out of the ground The cat was lap
ping up a saucer of milk, and the dog,
lazily wagging his tail at the foot
Of q nearby tree, was watching her.
Now, as comman thing, dogs hate
cats. and make their dislike plain in q
fashion which keeps the cats mast
headed in tree, if any dog is in the
neighborhood. Cats are fond OF little
bial cannibal is fond or was fond of
the proverbial missionary.
**
So I asked the old lady how these
hereditary enemies managed to get
along together so well.
oh" she said, L s'pose they're just
tolerant, like all critters ought to be,
human in particular"
Did you do anything to make them
tolerant, or were they just naturally
that way?" I asked
mo, they grew up together and got
to know each other, that's all. The
trouble with us humans is that We
don't know each other hardly a bit"
You think. then, If We knew each
other well, we couldn't fight and strug-
gle and go to war and things like
that?"
Why, Of course. do, mister. II
people grow up together an get ac-
quainted, they don't fight nor snarl at
each other. You can see them there
animals Is gettin' along together fine"

ing remained to be done, and it was
done! The face of the granite was cut
until there stood forth pillars, door
ways and images of elephants.
How many thousands of men were
employed in producing these temples
we do not know, but it appears that
the work was performed during the
course of several centuries.
First among the wonders of this re-

temple is 100 feet high, 100 feet wide
and 276 feet long!

Not at all, quite the contrary In fact,
The kingdom Of Drawn has given way
to the empire Of brane. A time existed
when man was well prepared for the
battle Of life If he could kill, eat and
digest a wild boar without the aid of
firearms, cookery or bicarbonate Of soda,
and he could climb a tree In less time
than it takes tiger to do the one hun
derd yard dash, but In these enlightened
days no man can emerge victorious from
the ruthless jungles Of competition un-
less he can do simple mental arithmetic
in at least languages, discuss any
angle of any international situation
from a solid background of old fashion
geogrify, and explain the difference be-
tween continuous and alternating cur
rent In a sufficiently Cleer and concise
manner to be understood by the average
absent minded woman. And that sort
Of thing, TO say the least, takes study,
pop said.
Yes sir, but G, pop. mean after all
what's a use? I said, and pop said,
The immediate use on this particular
occasion Is to save yourself 3 lusty
smacks with my slipper by having that

the origin.
The words flower Of" to indicate
the pick of, the very finest elements of

into a beautiful temple? Hindus who
lived 1900 years ago knew the answer.

trenches. At last there stood forth
oblong blocks of rock of enormous size.

It is not expected the nomination of
four officers of the Army to be general
cficers will be confirmed by the Senate
Until the new administration takes
Office on March 4. The four officers
affected by the confirmation of
their appointments include Brig. Gen.
James F. Mckinley to be major gen.

from February 2. 1888; Col. Greed F.
Cox, F. A., to be chief of the Bureau of
Insular Affairs from January 9; Col.

In accordance with this rule, con-
flrmation of the nomination of Naval

of their standing in a compclion con-

A question has recently been raised
In certain quarters of the War and
Navy Departments relative to the effect
of the economy law on officers in the
rank of lieutenant colonel and above
in the Army and in the rank of COM
mander and above in the Navy. The
question is with reference to the appli-
cation of Section of the pay law of
June 10. 1922, WHICH provides that the
total compensation of officers of the
grade of colonel in the Army or cap
tain in the Navy or below shall not
exceed $1,000. This total includes base
pay, longevity. rental and subsistence
allowance. Section 101 (b) of the
economy law prescribes that each Off
Ger or employe receiving compensation
on an annual basis at the rate of more
than $1,000 per annuIn shall be fur
Laughed without compensation for one
calendar month.
The Controller General has ruled
that in deducting the 8l3 per cent
from the pay Of officers receiving com
pensation under the act of June 10,
1922, to take care of his requirements
for furlough deductions, the deductions
should be applied to the officers base
pay and longevity only, as, for ex-
ample in the case of a colonel of the
Army with 80 years service there should
be deducted 8l3 per cent of $4,000, or
$500 per annum The officers con-
cerned-and there are a considerable
number of them on duty in Washington
contend that when their pay is re-
0uced under this provision Of the econ
omy law they should receive the full

Recommendation to Radio Commits
sion Marks First Phase
of Inquiry.

The first phase of the Federal Radio
Commissions investigation into allega-
tons of stock manipulation by organiza-
tons holding experimental television
licenses has resulted in recommended
tons by a commission examiner that
enc such company be deprived of its
present franchise.
On receipt of information that the
public was being fieeced by unscrupu-
lous stock promoters, who played on the
tremendous publicity given visual broad
casting as radios budding bonanza, the
commission began an investigation sew
eral months ago. 1t urged the public to
beware Of stock promoters who prom
ised fortunes overnight through invest
ment in television enterprises, pointing
out that the whole art is experimental
and that licenses issued to some 80 COM
panies are for scientific exploitation
only and can be revoked at any time.
The report on its first investigation.
submitted by Examiner Elmer W. Pratt,
recommends the removal from the air
OF two experiental television stations in

! Johann STRAUSS, one of the
J most beloved of composers and
best remembered for his rhythmic
waltZeS, would have been a radio
fan had he lived until the broad
casting era, but he would not have
liked conducting an orchestra be-
fore the microphone unless
visible audience were also present.
At least, such was the belief of
his widow, Adele Strauss, who
took keen interest in radio be-
fore her death two years ago. A
poSthumouS interview, written by
Helmuth Holzer. was carried in a
recent issue of World Radio, organ
of the British Broadcasting Cor
poration.
Strauss would have delighted
to hear all his music relayed from
! so many broadcasting stations in
the world" his widow is quoted
as saying. But quite apart from
being able to hear his own music
on the air he would have used
the opportunity to listen to many
compositions of his favorite COM
posers."
The waltz King" as he is now
known, would not have liked so
much jazz music as broadcasting
stations now carry, Frau Strauss
believed. And yet she recalled that
he sensed the advent of jazz when
he said one time: ct wonder
whether people won't get tired of
mere melody one day, and per-
hapS take more to rhythm?"
Asked whether the composer
conductor would have liked to
conduct in studio, Frau Strauss
said:
II dare say he would not have
liked it. He was much too fond
of visible audiences. He wanted
to see that people enjoyed his
music. The bigger the audience
the more enthusiastically he used
to play and conduct the orches-
ira"

no heating equipment aboard the vessel,
this boat can only be used in good
