Fighting Dogs and Men
Once i'm the Same Glass

Fighting dogs. and fighting men
went together in the early Victorian
days, for the ownership OF bulldog
often spelled trouble. An owner had
to be ready and handy with his fists
and a pugilist Dragged as much Of
his dogs fighting ability as he did
his own, asserts a writer In the Kos
Angeles Times.
Reputation for their gameness
grew until the name of bulldog be-
came a synonym; for the word
courage. Phrases; used to- describe
their qualities were applied to other
incidents. For example, bulldog
grip, pugnacious as bulldog, fight
like bulldog, were expressions
heard and still, used. A person
having a pronounced chin was re-
ferred to as having a bulldog jaw
and the owner was supposed to have
an unusual amount of tenacity snd
will power.
No other dog, is built on the same
plan as this breed His nose turns
up, his face is covered with wrin-
kles, the bowed front is not really
bowed but only seems so because
front legs are set on the corner Ot n
broad chest. A good many II their
points are an exaggeration OF for
mer characteristics, and some OF
their good qualities have been sac
rifced to type. By reason Of mis-
heavy formation, the gait varies
from that of other breeds. The hind
quarters are higher from the ground
than the front and therefore his
hind feet shove him forward. He
does not run but has canter'ng
gait similar to- horse.

Six Old Age Pensions
Granted In The County
(Continued from page y

CONTINUED from page II
July in the number of children re-
ceiving aid to dependent children as
sistance. This was partly due to the
employment of children over 16 dur
ing the summer months, and to the
discontinuance of aid to so called il
Legitimate children. There have been
q few new applicants which is re-
sponsible for the slight rise in Au-
gust. Our expenditures in this cate
Igory have increased about $500 per
month. The County is contributing
1891 IA toward this relief. The State
and Federal funds carry the entire
expense of administration and the
balance of relief. The average allow
ance per child receiving assistance
was $7.82 in September.
Our old age assistance group has
increased from 172 in July to 2O9 in
| September with an increase in pen
sioners of 81 and expenditures OF
about $500. Our average pension
was $15.03.
The number of blind pensioners
has remained the same for the three
month period. Revision of budgets
has resulted in a decrease of $14 per
month from the July amount. The
average grant in September was
1882.
Although our general public assist
ance families were transferred to
the Supervisor of County Aid in Ju-
| ly, We had 6 families receiving re-
lief in July and in August receiv-
ing general public assistance be-
cause of certain bills we had obligat-
ed ourselves to pay for those fami-
lies. We had no families receiving
general public assistance in Septem-
Der.
At the present time the county IS
paying one-sixth of the old age PEN
sion pay fee, $891.64 of the aid to
dependent children relief, 1882 of
the blind pensions, and the salaries
and expenses of Mrs. Hostetler for
tO.A.P. Investigations and Mrs. Vols
! for W.P.A. and C.C.C. Investigations
or a total of about $1,826.26 per
month.
Summer vacations are over and
our four regular field workers are
devoting much of their time to final
preparation of aid to dependent chill
dren cases for presentation to the
Board. Each worker now has under
care approximately 60 old age pen
lsioners, 25 aid to Dependent children
families, and 2-3 blind pensioners. In
addition, they are responsible for the
independent boarding home work
out of town inquiries, investigations
for state institutions, such as Rose
wood, Montrose, the State Parole
Board, etc.

Invented Adhesive Stamp

Sir Rowland Hill, inventor of the
worlds first adhesive postage
stamp, which appeared in 1910. was
the object of much praise and much
more criticism before his sugges-
ton was adopted. One London news
paper said: eve consider this one
of the most visionary schemes ever
put forth. Mr.. Hill, like many politi-
cal economists, commits the blum
der of making no allowance for the
passions, the feeling, the habits and
the stupidities of mankind. Imagine
everyone having to buy stamps be-
forehand for his letters, or having
to pay a penny for every letter
posted! Looking at human So
ciety as at present existing, we are
sure that it would never work.

College Men and Women Taller

In physique, college men and
women show two distict differences
from the men and women of the
general population. One, says a
writer in Hygeia, the health maya
zine, is that when growth is com.
pleted college men and women are
distinctly taller, and the men arc
also much heavier than men OF
women of the general population
The other difference is that the col
lege students, having been ac
CELEBRATED in growth during chic
hood, attain maximum growth at a
earlier age than the rest of GU
population.
