IN A CLASS WITH SNEAK THIEVES
and pickpockets is the dread of all dog own
ers, the dog poisoner. Now and then in most
some self appointed benefact-
or goes about placing deadly poisons where
they will be eaten by the pets-Who stink
away to die in agony.
If these same persons could see the
look on some heartbroken child's face when
his best animal pal is dead, or were forced
to explain to the youngsters why they saw
fit to deprive them of their playmates, they
might think less of their actions.
Some dogs are troublesome, no doubt.
But a complaint to the owner is sufficient
warning in the vast majority of instances.
If not there are legal, and far more human
itarian, methods of dealing with the situa-
ton.
BELIEVING THAT THE BADLY
warped and broken square block sidewalks
which came in with the disappearance of the
old board walk a quarter of century ago
are deserving of retirement, the city coun-
Gil has made it possible for property owners
to replace old walks with new ones on ten
year pay plan at a low interest rate.
In cases where the walks are below
grade, causing water and ice to gather in the
low places in the spring, they are being
raised to grade. The new specifications call
for slab which gets away from the I'M
slightly grass grown places and the sunken
blocks on the boulevard sides of many walks
which are as unbecoming to modern city
as they are dangerous to pedestrians. =
1t is an ideal time, under the terms, to
replace at least the most treacherous
stretches. -"

The CLIO is reported to be undertaking
the organization Of all public employees.
Wonder how the president and the COVER
nor will feel when they are forcibly kept
from their Offices and how the taxpayers
will enjoy seeing the windows broken out
of capitol buildings.
Organization of workers without viol-
ence is not only legitimate but desirable.
1t is when bloodshed results from impatient
public sentiment turns against the organ
izers.
THE UNITED STATES HAS OCCA-
sionally seen fit to make it clear to citizens
living or travelling in troubled foreign coun-
tries that they must expect no protection
from the government if they persist in re-
naming after fair warning. A similar
ultimation should be given stunt flyers and
publicity hoppers whose trips are in no way
scientific. No doubt they are entitled to risk
their necks and fortunes in dangerous jour-
neys as they please, but the government
should make it plain that sponsors and
participants in such flights are solely re-
sponsible for what accidents may result.
DON'T PITY THE FELLOW WHO is
tall and thin. Life insurance statisticians
have found that while it is healthy to be
overweight in youth, those who are under
weight outlive the big husky fellows six
times out of ten, if they live past 4O.-ex.
THE COLUMNIST WHO PREDICTED
that during the special session of the legis-
lature, politics would be buried and the
states best interests would be served is
probably due for permanent vacation from
his job, without pay or pension.
CLOTHES MAY MAKE THE MAN
but it takes women without clothes to make
buriesque, New York fans decided when the
banned SHOWS reopened this week, with the
stars under wraps"
