BLAZE THRILLS
S0C|AL|TES

While a fashionable throng Of
diplomats and SocialiteS looked
on, firemen last night battled a
two-alarm blaze which ate away
the roof of the incompleted $780,
600 home Of Eugene Coulter, re-
tired educator, at Tracy Place
and Belmont Road Northwest.
Damage was estimated at $40, 1000.
Flames for a time threatened
to spread to the adjoining resi-
dence of Representative Allen T.
Treadway Of Massachusetts,. The
alarm was turned in via tele-
phone by Mrs. Wallace H. White,
wife of the Senator from Maine,
who saw the flames from her
home at 2449 Tracy Pl.
It was the theory Of fire fight
ers that the blaze originated from
embers left on the roof during
the afternoon.
While the fire fighters poured
water at the rate Of $50 gallons
a minute onto the incomplete
mansion, such celebrities as Aus
trian Minister and Mrs. Edgar
G. L. Prochnik, Senator and Mrs.
White, Representative Treadway,
Canon Anson Phelps Stokes Of
the Washington Cathedral, and
Wladyslaw Sokolowski, the Polish
Charge dAffaires, were among the

ADVICE
ON DOG FOOD
BY DIR. MILTON A. BOSLEY,
ID. V. M.

Contrary to popular belief, it Is
natural for a dog to bolt his food.
People should not be unduly dis
turbed over this fact. He is a
carnivorouS animal and his teeth
are for the purpose Of tearing and
cutting and not for maStication
and grinding.
The stomach capacity of a me-
dium-Sized dog is three times that
of mans, and for this reason
alone, I believe that nature in
tended that he swallow his food
in large pieces. His stomach is
capable Of great dilation, therefore
it seems to follow that it is a mis-
take to cut the dogs food too
finely or to serve it too wet or
muShy.
What should a dog eat?
Throughout his existence his chief
subsistence has been meat. I be-
lieve, therefore, that meat should
remain the chief and best food for
dogs of all breeds and sizes. There
are many times when prepared
foods may well be used as a part
Of his daily diet. For instance,
dog biscuit is excellent food be-
cause it is hard; a point in it's
favor, especially, as it has an ex-
cellent effect on the teeth and
gums. Few dogs will eat biscuits
at first, but they will gradually
learn to like and eat them.
The following two menus are
usually acceptable for dogs but at
no time should fish bones, chicken
bones, potatoes, cooked cabbage,
cauliflower and turnips be added
to their menu. And last but not
least, no dessert or sweets of any
kind.
1. Meat raw or cooked, small
quantities Of milk and dog bis
cult.
2. Soft boiled eggs or raw
eggs mixed with cereal and
chopped cooked liver.
Rather than suggest definite
diets would prefer that readers
of these articles would bring their
pet to The Washington Times
free clinic at my hospital, 311
Sixth st. N. W., on either Tues
day or Friday Of each week, from
/ to 3 o'clock, when I will per
sonally advise them what I con-
slider the best food for your pet
according to mis- breed, age, size
and physical condition.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Arthui Brisbane, aged 72, the voice of Today" newspape column known to millions of readers, died Christmas morning, succumbing to an attack of the heart at his home The end came peacefully as he slept
 At the bedside were the widow, son Seward, and daughters, Mrs Began McCrary, Emily, Alice and Elinor, also his personal physician Dr. Leopold Stieglitz.
 Success in Journalism
 Arthur Brisbane was long looked upon by the laity as the epitome of journalistic success. His salary from the Hearst newspa pers amounted to $260,000 a year and he had claimed reading public of between 30000,000 and 40,000,00O people.
 The popular picture of him was vivid enough to obscure the fact that he was a successful real estate operator, enjoying in that field as much or more income than he re- ceived as an editor He found time, as well, for social activities.
 His column, Today containing succinct comment on current af- fairs, simply worded, appeared every day in more than 200 newspapers and made it's title almost synony- nous with his name.
 In 1900 weekly newspapers he chatted with the country's rural people under the heading of This Week" For the Sunday Hearst pa- CTS he supplied full page of edi- torial observations, which was al- ways displayed in large type with an arresting illustration. These were never signed.
