CANNES Cure Bad Temper.

CANNES Cure Bad Temper.
A NEW cure for an old disease Is
said to be the acquisition of a
dog to cure bad temper Hot headed
people often find that owning a dog
either shames them into being more
considerate or teaches them to be more
considerate. A dog will take unmerited
punishment from beloved master
with nothing more reproachful than q
sad look. The hot headed kennel
owner who tries to pose or train or
groom his dogs for show finds that he
has an almost impossible task on his
hands If he does not learn to curb his
temper. If dog is not devoted par
ticularly to person the impa tient
man can do nothing with him.
Doctors are recommending that dia-
betics, especially children, who are
inclined to be Of explosive, worrisome
dispositions, take to dog owning to
increase their own life expectancies.
Great Dane Show Successful.
THE Great Dane Club of America
held its first independent show on
Wednesday, May S, at the Madison
Square Boys Club in New York City.
1t was futurity match for puppies
under a year old, held under the usual
rules for such matches which stipulate
that bitches must be nominated for
such shows after they are bred and
before they whelp, and that the pup
pies must be nominated after they
reach certain age, decided upon by
the club members.
Judging by the enthusiasm
with which this first futurity
was received. 1t Is thought the
Great Dane Sweepstakes will
become an annual affair.
This show was judged by Alva Ros-
enberg who awarded first prize to
Braeson of Brae Tarn, owned by r.
P. Stevens. Second went to Orel Of
Warrendane, owned by H. M. Warren:
third went to another Brae Tarn en-
try, and fourth to another Warren
dane entry. 1t would seem that the
hopes for the Great Danes future
rested pretty largely on these two ken
nels, judging by this decision. Seven
teen puppies were shown altogether,
each one the cream of his breeders
crop for the year.
Dog Show Vignette.
THE pathos and the humor Of the
dog show recently were exempli-
fled In one incident at a dog show.
A woman was seen entering the gates
carrying in her arms a small, silky
haired, black and white dog which
remotely resembled Shetland sheep
dog, possibly Shetland sheepdog
crossed with English toy spaniel.
As she walked along, she seemed to
be looking for the section where her
dog was to be benched. And as she
walked she talked in soothing tones
to the dog as to delicate or shy
child. Thinking to be of some service
to her, a man stopped and asked If he
could help her find her bench and
inquired what breed Of dog she had.
To his intense surprise he was told
that it was a Dandie Dinmont terrier,
a very distinctive, rough-haired,

ment.

1887 Occupancy Set
For inexpensive
Living Units

Scarcity Of modern livable
apartments in washington and its
suburbs was definitely demon
strated last Sunday afternoon,
when Glebe Road and Pershing
Drive, In Arlington, Va, took on
the appearance Of Broadway and
Forty-second Street in New York.
The congestion was due to the
Groves Of automobiles arriving al
most simultaneously to inspect the
new mansionette apartments be-
Ing built in Buckingham Commu-
nifty.
The owners Of Buckingham an
nounce that it will be two or three
weeks before all the inquiries re.
ceived by mail can be answered.
The demonstration at the prop
erty and the great volume Of in
qu1rieS regarding the new low-coSt
project has resulted in the owners
immediate announcement that in
stead of $50 apartments being
ready during July and Au-
gust, and $40 completed by March
OF next year, their plans have
been changed in order to provide
for $50 apartments during 1887.
New Study Ordered
Although the owners had an.
ticipated situation of this nature,
they had not expected so great a
volume of inquiries. An imme-
date engineering study has been
in progress for the last few days
in order to cope with the situation
Allie S. Freed, president of
Buckingham Community, Inc,
and chairman of the committee
for economic and social progress,
has given time and study to the
problem of the middle mantle
fellow who has to achieve a
definite standard of living under
impossible conditions. He declares
he sees no reason why the man
Of moderate means should not
have the luxury and comfort to
which he is entitled.
Wants Good Home
To realize his ambition, he
puts himself in the place of the
man to whom he was catering
and discovered that he wanted q
CHEEKY home with an interior
and exterior design that would
be inSpirational and fitted with
scientific appliances capable Of
promoting perfect cleanliness
with the, minimum Of labor; he
wanted sunlight as much as he
could get: he wanted facilities
for recreation, such as. gardens,
trees, communal activities and
places for children to play
safely; he wanted all these
things in an accessible neighbor.
hood; and, finally, he wanted
them at minimum rental.
In an interview, Freed said:

BOSTON WOOL MARKET
HAS IMPROVED TONE
Iy the Associated Press.


BOSTON, Nov. 12-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
There is distinctly better tone in
the wool market this week, owing
chiefly to the reversal in form in the
top futures market, but more especially
to the better political news from
Washington. Holders of wool have
frightened their quotations and there
is less willingness to listen to offers
that are unduly low.
Manufacturers have found little
response in the goods market as vet.
but that is regarded as a matter of
time. Foreign markets have been a
bit easier this week, but still are rather
above this market.
In the West there has been little
movement and the changed tone in
the market is likely to strengthen
holding sentiment among growers.

nominal in price"
