the bed were seven newspapers, all
neatly arranged in row!
Holy CATS" Foster CALCULATED.
Luckily the papers were all the
same and he knew most OF the
families whose names were written
on the first pages. Cautiously he sal
lied forth, accompanied by the dog,
and distributed six on the porches
where they belonged.
Then he stared at the seventh
doubtfully.
On one corner was written, Dun
ham" Durham? 1t must be the
new family in the white bungalow.
Guilty. he knocked at the door
of the house. He could hear foot
steps coming to answer his knock
and he braced himself. When the
door opened a very pretty girl stood
framed in the way. A pair of blue
eyes regarded him questioninsly.
"Yes?" she said.
He colored. Are you Miss Dun
ham,"
She nodded.
well" he hesitated uneasily.
i've brought your paper"
Thank you" She took it uncer-
tainly Are you the newsman?"
He laughed, feeling more at ease
now. mo, I'm a neighbor Of yours.
You see, I taught my dog here to
bring my paper to me in the morn
ing. but he decided he must bring
everybody else's paper, too"
She laughed merrily and bent to
pat the dogs head. Hes q smart
dog" she remarked. What's his
name?"
Well haven't named him yet"
She frowned thoughtfully. "All
dogs should have name"
II know. Do you like dogs?"
She nodded and regarded him
gravely. I'm crazy about them"
she confessed.
Half an hour later, in the privacy
of his living room, Foster affection
ately shook the dogs head from side
to side. She's invited me over and
we're going to select name for you"
he said excitedly. Isn't that great?"
The dog barked twice and grinned,
then kissed his hand as if to reveal
his approval.

"A dog?"
Sure. Cmon to the back of the
store here. III show you some collie
puppies" He led the way past tiers
Of cages filled with whining and growl-
ing animals to the rear of the store.
He stopped before an open box. Here
-whaddaya think Of these little
shavers?"
Foster perred into the box. On a
blanket we're three brown, fuzzy pup
pies, each so roly-poly and fat his
skin seemed to be bursting. They
had been fighting. but now each
looked up at him, innocently, ex-
pectantly. Foster smiled.
The owner was watching his face
"Like 'em-hey?" he cried delightedly.
"Cute little tykes, amt they?"
Sure are" Foster agreed. Nothing
livelier than them"
He waggled finger experimentally
One Of them commenced to lick it
with his slippery little red tongue.
"Here!" The owner seized the puppy
by the scruff of the neck and de-
posted him in Fosters arms. You
should always take the one that
ticks your hand. 1t means he'll al
ways be a good dog-always obey
YOU"
So the collie puppy became a fix
ture in Fosters house. At least, that
was the intention of Foster. But it
Didn't work out as he had planned.
You know" he confessed rue
fully to Harold Tice. one of his in
innate friends. Il had planned on
this pup being just like a piece of
furniture around here, quiet and use
full. But it's worked out so that he's
the big boss and I'm just boarder."
What's he been doing?" Harold
asked.
We'll, he's chewed the varnish of
the leg Of every chair in the house
for one thing. Then he's either eaten
or hid every pair of my shoes. And
he drank all the water out Of the
goldfish bowl and killed the fish" He
paused.
"Yes?"
Here lately he seems to think I've
been hiding things from him. He's
nosing up all the carpets looking
for imaginary objects I never had
any intention Of hiding"
Why don't you give him away?"
asked the practical Mr.. Tice.
Foster snorted Indignantly. mot
muchl why-Im crazy about him.
I'm going to start teaching him tricks
pretty soon. Useful ones, too" he
affirmed, with shake of his head.

CHARGED
IN PERSH|NG
BUST FUND

Charged with fraudently OBJ
tanning thousands of dollars from
eminent Americans for the alleged
purpose of presenting the nation
with a bust of Gen. John j..
Pershing, Alfred Millard Layton,
IS, 31O0 block Connecticut Ave.
N. W., will be arraigned in Police
Court today.
Layton, according to police, col
iected $1,000 by a mail campaign
in behalf of the Pershing Bust
Committee. which was originated
by Gen. George o. Squier, and
then converted the money to his
own use.
Sculptor Suicide
The bust was executed by Moses
Cykaar, who later committed sui
eide. General Squier became in
terested in the sculpture and de-
termined to raise money oy sub
ecription to buy it and present it
to the Government.
Dykaar, wanted $4,000 for the
work. According to District At
torney Leo A. Rover, Dykaar COM
missioned Layton to raise the
money and accordingly list Of
so personal friends of General
Pershing was given him. General
6ouier gave full control of the
Campaign to Layton, who, accord
ing to Rover, sent out more than
10000 letters asking for contrl-
buttons.
Name Unauthorized
General Squier charges that he
did not give permission for the
use of his name, nor did he
authorize the printing of expen-
sive stationary such as Layton
used. General Squier also charges
that Layton opened mail ad-
dressed to him General Squier)

cinct police station in default of
$25, 900 bond, contends he is able
to account for every cent col
lected.

NRA HAS T|P-OFF
MEN, CHARGE

Continuing his open criticism
Of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Ma
tional Recovery Administrator,
Senator Gerald P. Nye R0 of
North Dakota, has entered the
new charge that there are tip
off men in the NRA employ who
advise big business when smaller
organizations complain against
their unfair trade practices.
He based his charge on the
ground it has been shown that
when complaint has been
lodged against one of the "big
fellows" by a smaller dealer, it
is only a short while before the
"big fellow" knows of it, despite
the fact that the compliance
board has promised to maintain
the strictest confidence regarding
the complaint.
Senator Nye said that although,
by order of the President Satur-
day, adjudication of NRA COM
plants have been transferred to
the Federal Trade Commission
and Department of Justice, the
complaints still must go through

BY getting better than an even

In general. the Nationals are In

Walter johnson thought that four
innings against either lineup used as
much pitching energy as the average
nine-inning league game.
Cronin thanked johnson profuSely
for saving Harder for this game. At
some expense perhaps to the Cleveland
Indians. a five-day rest was given
Harder for the all-star game.
Cronin did not think the game really
was a good test of the strength of the
two leagues. He remarked; 1T wasn't
