BuenOs Aires Round

Because the Cunarder Fran

bean Sea on her way to the
EuchariStic congress in Buenos
Aires, Argentina. s. A., next fall,
the distance will be about 1000
miles. or $4,000 miles for the round
trip. The distance is great be-
cause South America lies far out
in the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
A line drawn straight downward
from New York would show the

age and appealing qualities.
this is the dog as utterly un-
spoiled as he was a century age.
Origin Of Breed
The breed was evolved about
1900. In Sir Walter SCOTS
days they were called the
Charlie Hope terriers" Mr..
Davidson was the original
"Dandie Dinmont" of SCOTS
novel. Davidson's original dogs
were called Tarr and Pep
per and these two dogs are
known to be the foundation Of
this breed.
The DandieS are essentially
vermin dogs but they are al
ways ready to go after badgers
ana foxes. In fighting, a fav-
orite position of the Dandie is
on his back, tearing at his ad-
versary's throat without mercy.
Regarding the origin Of this
breed. one noted British au-
thority claims that the "otter-
hound" and the "old wire
haired Scotch terrier" had
something to do with founding
it. To the former 1t owes the
large hound-liks head, long
e&rs and the carriage Of the
hound. But, according to this
authority. there Is no doubt

chum's father promised her q
car for her birthday present.
When the gift proved to be a
"flivver" the young lady was
absolutely indignant-an in

her fool father changed the

Now, Miss Robinson, I con-
slider that such a situation is
not only demoralizing to the
young people of this genera
ton but a shameful reflection
on their parents. If a 16-
year-old girl feels like that

any decent, Woodworking young
fellow to make a home with
her, after such outrageous

ROLL CALL TO OPEN |ON ARMISTICE DAY
Major John M. BurraII Chairman of Red Cross
 Appeals for Funds

Major John M. Burrall will con duct the eighteenth annual roll call of the local Red Cross chapter which will open on Armistice day, Nov II, in unison with similar roll calls all over the country. Major Burrall has long been associated with Red Cross activities and he is planning an intensive drive to raise the funds which were never more necessary than they are this year. District chairmen and aux Hilary workers are now bein named with the idea of having such 8 large field group that not one per- son in Waterbury will be missed. It is Major Burrall's hope that long before the roll call closes on Thanksgiving day everyone in town will be wearing Red Cross button, symbol of his desire to help in a national humanitarian work.
 As usual, factories, schools, busi- ness houses will be canvassed and this will be supplanted by a house to house canvas for which workers are now being appointed. Radio broadcasts and other talks will be given to further enlighten the pub lie as to the work of the Red Cross. While the branches of local activity are many, the principal work done with Red Cross funds in Waterbury. is in the home serv- ice department, which helps the veteran and his family to solve their problems.
 With9the greatly increased num- Der on public relief and the ma torfoyrx, vnA,oad ivnnnnro nf m a nv others who had employment all welfare agencies have had heavy demands on their resources, says Mrs Edith M. Ladd head of the home service section. Among those in need are, of course, many war veterans. These former service men are the responsibility of the Red Cross according to the provisions of the congressional charter under which the organization was formed. Never have government services administering veterans benefits been under such overwhelming pressure as in the past year. The economy act of 1893 made it neces- sary to review practically every pension, or compensation in the veterans administration. Later leg islation made 1t necessary to re-re- view these cases. This work more than doubled the ordinary task of caring for the veterans with the result that funds are greatly need ed to carry on these increased &C., tivities. The; response to the an- nual roll call is a fulfillment of the promise made to the men who went to the war in 1917.
