~ UPS gets the green light. He
- and his boss start to cross the
street. They near the other
i side. The dog lunges ahead
Of his companion. Lights start flick
sring. Automobile occupants don't see
the pup just beyond their wheels.
They move forward! Unless some
thing Is done quickly there's liable
to be an accident with the canine
playing the leading part. 1t won't
be the drivers fault, either!
As always, an ounce of prevention
Is the best cure. The average dog
isn't knee high to radiator cap. It's
impossible for him to be seen by the
cars pilot If he's too close in. Pups
needs something to point him out
when he's weaving in and out at in
tersections, and the best standard he
can carry is his owner. Pups should
stick close at heel; that means he's
never ahead Of his companions feet.
A dogs life is a slender thing in the
street. Just as he pulls his nose out
Of the way of lotion truck some
street car tries to bob his tail. A
canine Of intelligence will stick by
his boss from curb to curb.
Keep the family dog on leash when
he's airing himself on busy street.
It'll lessen fatalities. He may walk
unharmed for five years, day after
day. Suddenly a dog appears across
the street! Pups rushes pell-mell to
meet him, ignoring cars, calls, every
thing. Curtains fall. The dog goes
to Join his ancestors.

Manners
of the
Moment

THOSE people who treat other peo-
pies toothaches and headaches
as though they we're mirages, ought
really to be visited with one bang
UP impacted molar II they had q
good rousing throb in the left jaw,
they might know that just hearing
some kind friend say, Your tooth
ache will go away if you just forget
about it," doesn't help any more than
waving a raw beefsteak over your left
shoulder would.
A person who really believes that
ailments are all in the mind knows
better than to go at the thing that
way. It's no way to cure mind. But
trust the person who doesn't really
believe what he's saying to come along
and tell you that the whole side OF
your face is a part of your tmagina-
ton. 1t drives you mad.
The only thing to do with people
of this sort Is to tell them bluntly to

think a great many women are
jealous Of their children loving any,
body else except themselves. They
are so determined to monopo.ize their
children that they don't even want
them to love their fathers or feel
close to them. Notice htw mothers
say to their children: "I'll try to
persuade your father into letting YOU
CO." Or: I'll try to get your father
to give you that" Therebv teaching
the child that mother is the only one
who really loves it and wants it to be
happy and that father is spoil
sport. And notice how wo men so
often make the father do all the whip
ping and correcting, so that the child
will think father is cruel ar d doesn't
love it and mother does.
T ONCE heard a mother say Talk
about jealousy. The jealous, that
a woman can feel about a man Is
nothing to the jealousy that tears a
mothers heart to tatters wher she
sees her child caring more for aome-
body else than it does for her"
No doctor ever made such ar idiotic
assertion as to say that a grand
mothers home was no plac, for a
child. unless in some specific case
where the grandmother was q bad

spoiled the children. Among the

But what's the matter with your
son that he lets his wife put over
her jealous spite on you? If he had as
much backbone as a shoestring, he
would simply tell her where she got
on and take the children to see YOU.
DEAR MISS DIX: What are so ne
examples of character?
A YOUNG MAN.
Answer-A young man shows char
acter when he lives up to his con-
viction of what is right and roper,
instead Of taking the easiest wav and
going with the crowd.
A young man shows character VIII IN
he refuses to drink when everybody
else is having one more. When he
refuses to buy the automobile ne
can't afford. When he won't let a
gold-digging girl beguile him into
buying her the diamond wrist watch
she is determined to get out of him.
During the depression the young
men have shown character who kept
their spirits up and their chjns out
and who have taken any kind of work
they could find to do. It has taken
character not to whimper or complain
or become a parasite.

proportions gripped America. The
emancipation of women. already we'll

Into this new social system the

bowed to the dictum about the duty
Of making the most of oneself.
To those who "see life clearly and

with the tremendous academic. eco

So hard-boiled about degrees, how

TRUCKERS ISSUE
 WAGE STATEMENT
Increase in Cost of Living Justifies Demand for
 Boost in Pay

A brief will be drawn up by the local truckers union within the next ten days explaining how the general cost Of living has gone up faSte. than average wages, it was explained today by local union representa- tiVes.
 Following q session yesterday in Hartford, attended by local oper- atorS, union representatives and members of the State Board Of Mediation on tho question Of the local teamsterS' union request for ( ten per cent flat increase in wages for both read and platform men. the representatives Of the union were asked to draw up c brief on living costs.
 Edmund Naylor, business agent for tho local union, explained that it was the contention of the men that their demands for c wage increase were Justified in view of the fact that rents, the price of food, clothing and tho other necessities of life had gone up steadily.
 At the conference yesterday in Hartford this was apparently the main point of contention and after operators and union men had put forth their respective claims the board asked the local union to ex- plain the cost of living claim in 6 written brief. This brief will be turned over to the state board with- in ten days. It Is possible. at that time that the entire situation may be cleared up.
