 CRAZED WITH HEAT

Noon- time crowds on Leaven- worth Street were thrown in to
 anear panic today when a dog, held on leash by youngster, became apparently crazed with the heat. The animals snarling ef- forts to get free were unsuccess- full when passersby rushed to the aid of the youngster.
 Efforts to quiet the dogs fit were unavailing for some time, quanti- ties of water thrown on him failing to bring any cessation of his strug- gles. Patrolman Cluney had the dog brought to headquarters in ar effort to locate the owner. Dog Warden Coleman O'Loughlin will also be notified.

less appreciated as a general rule

Fair hair needs more shampooing

Lamont

THIS ancient surname is possibly
derived from Laumont, a locality
in Lower Normandy. 1t has for many
centuries, however, been identified
with the Clan Lamont of Argyll
shire, Scotland. The name is thought
by some authorities to be derived from
the old Morse "lagamod," meaning
a lawman, and this was for long
time a clan designation.
The clan tartan is handsome plaid
showing on a rich green background,
stripes and squares of black, blue and
white.
The first of the name in America
was Archibald Lamont, who sailed in
1915 on the ship Caledonia. He ar
rived in New York, which became his
home, and there married Ann Wright
Many of their descendants are now
living in New York City. A family

MY dear Mrs. Post: Would you
approve of permanently setting sill

solutely no place for it in my dining
room, and as it is a beautiful service
I do not want to hide it away
AnSWer-If I answer frankly, /
must say that it Is never In best taste
to display dining room objects any
where, except when they are to be
used An empty tea or coffee service
is no more suitable as parlor orna-
ment than a kitchen aid would be.

played, even in the dining room.

are those of her married name. A

her maiden initials or her future in

mean an ivory ground instead of
