I'd like to see any other dogs that
better fit that description than my
two Pekes."
He has had other dogs. Almost
every kind but always, back in his
mind, was an ambition to get me
one o those little Chinese dogs"
He went to the Congressional
Library and read up on the breed.
He talked to Pekineese fanciers and
finally went to a famous kennel to
purchase his dog. Dixie Boy was the
first pup he. spied. Then Nancy Lee
poked her little black nose in his
hand. He sighed:

Foibles in Food.
The dogs have their little vagaries
which the sergeant indulges. They
like, for example, their breakfast In
bed, scrambled eggs and for Boy a
saucer of black coffee. No milk OF
sugar. He has to have his coffee
black. Then again they dislike hav-
ing their whiskers greasy. So wher
their chop is served at supper the
sergeant gives it to them in his
fingers, to spare their whiskers and
feelings. They like a certain scented
soap for their bath. So the sergeant
keeps a supply on hand.
To complete the picture, the
sergeant has arranged In his will fol
the care of his dogs if anything should
happen to him and for their burial
when their dog-days are over.

LEWIS APPROVES
STEEL UNION PLAN
Declines to Comment, How.
ever, on Proposal for One
Big Organization.
By the Associated Press.


The steel organization plan pro-
posed by the Amalgamated Associa-
ton Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
was reported today to be entirely sat
isfactory to John L. Lewis, chairman
Of the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization.
Lewis declined to comment on the
steel unions proposal to try to bring
every steel worker into one big union.
1t was made known, however, that
the United Mine Workers president
felt the plan met the requirements for
the proper aid of his committee.
The Steel Union, at its Canonsburg
(Pa) convention, decided yesterday to
ask all American Federation of Labor
unions to help with the campaign. At
the same time the union voted to ask
all craft unions in the federation to
withdraw their claims to steel workers.
Lewis was known to feel that the
craft unions would oppose this plan,
and that only the unions affiliated
with his committee would be willing
to help.
The industrial union leader also was
known to approve the conventions
arrangements for lowering steel union
dues and naming joint committee
to help with the organizations cam

I'VE are already in negotiation on
this subject with the foreign govern

mier said.
Neither Baldwin nor Sir Thomas
Inskip, minister In charge of co-ordi-
mating defenses, would discuss further
the governments plans.
Informed sources, pondering the
premier's statements, pointed out
neither France nor Italy signed the
naval pact, which remains In effect
until January l, 1885, when the new
British-American-French agreement
begins TO operate upon ratification
by the three governments.

Allenby's war experience began soon
after his graduation from the Royal
Military College at Sandhurst. He
entered the Inniskilling Dragons and
served with them in the Bechuanaland
Expedition of 1884-5. Three years
later he fought in Zululand. In the
South African War he was adjutant
of dragons. BY 1910 he had become
inspector Of cavalry and when the
World War broke he went to France
in command Of the British mounted
forces. In the early retreats his
cavalrymen covered up" the with
drawals with fine success, but when
the war became one of attrition, with
. both sides settled into trenches,
cavalry ceased to be frequent factor
of consequence, and Allenby was given
command of an army corps. He
fought at Ypres, at Arras, in many
other spots made immortal by fierce
combat. His direction of his forces
was sure, swift and audacious.
Returning from Jerusalem after the
war, Allenby was given the baton of
field marshal and elevated to the
peerage as q viscount. Then his ad-
ministrative ability and military sue
cesses were rewarded with the ap-
pointment as high commissioner for
Egypt.
For his services in the World War
Marshal Allenby was decorated by the
governments Of nearly all allies, the
decorations including the Distin-
guished Service Medal Of the Ameri-
can Government. He was born April

RICHMOND. Va. May 14.--An efh-
cient library should be able in normal
times to supply 900 per cent Of the
needs of its public from its own re-
sources, Lionel r. McColvin, honorary
secretary Of the British Library Asso-
ciation, told the American Library
Association here today.
ANY division of a country or
region is bad" he said, which per-
n1its areas with little or no service to
exist alongside those with large and
effective library service, which COM
pels very small communities to main
tain tiny Libraries which cannot pos
sibly be effective, which differentiaties
between the service to be given 10
residents on different sides OF street
or of a field because an arbitrary local
boundary comes between"
He said some means must be devised
whereby the economy and greater EN-
cheney in a large unit might prevail
generally.
Somehow we must devise some
scheme of amalgamation, perhaps with
State aid, which. without destroying
local interest or involving dlfncultles
of personnel, will cover the Nation
with regional units self-sufhcient eX-
cepting for those specialized require
ments of which true inter- library CO.
operation can take care" Mr.. NC
Colvin declared.
President Sends Message.
McColvin addressed general ses-
sion of the fifty-eighth annual con-
ference of the American Library Asso-
citation, which will continue through
Saturday.
The public library was hailed as the
worlds largest educational system" IN

tional radio program sponsored by the
association.
The message was read by John
Stewart Bryan, chairman of the Rich
mond Library Board, who acted as
POSTMASTER at a friends OF the
library" luncheon as part of the A. L..
A. annual conference.
Ernest A. Savage, librarian of the
Edinburgh, Scotland, Public Library
and president of the British Library
Association, spoke from Edinburgh on
the shortwave hook-up, and Secretary
of the Interior Harold Ickes spoke from
Washington.
Contribution to Civilization.
The Presidents message termed the
free public library distinctly an
American contribution to civilization"
The public library serves all pur-
poses Of civic life-industrial, social,
religious and recreational," the message
said. 1T assists with the education of
the young and continues that of the
adult. 1t is truly American, presenting
to the native American and the foreign
born alike the ideals of our Govern
lnent.
1T gives me great pleasure to entend
hearty fluctuations to the American
Library Association, now in conference
