Pekingese Dog Favorite
of the Chinese Rulers


One of China's three contributions
to the dog fancy is the haughty-ap-
pearing little Pekingese. This wad-
ding little "kou." as dog is known
in that land is one that has been
100 per cent pure-bred throughout
the centuries, writes George Butt in
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pekes were the coveted court dogs
in the regimes of Chinese emperors.
They were once the pampered pets
! Of the mandarins, and perhaps that
is the reason of their arisocratic ex-
preston. elbows and pugs are the
other two dogs which originated in
China
The Peke's luminous eyes, set far
apart upon his broad skull, serve as
mask of his real disposition. He
is jolly fellow and faithful Be-
cause of his diminutive size the
Peke has sometimes been wrongly
called delicate. However, he is not
by many miles. because he is one
Of the sturdiest of toy dogs.
Pekes are active, they are strong
for their size and would this dog be
larger he would be fitted for police
work. The Peke has massive coat
for a small dog. The frill Of soft
hair around his collar suggests =
lion. In fact, in his native China,
the dog has been called the little
lion dog" That was probably due
to the fighting heart of the dog.
Pekingese were first imported to
England from their native land.

Chromium Is a Silvery,
Hard Crystalline Metal

Chrome yellow, chrome steel,
chrome leather, chrome green, and
chrome alum are the names Of a
number Of outwardly highly dissin-
liar materials. and the layman may
wonder why a single adjective,
chrome, is used to describe all Of
them. The word means that they
all contain the element chromium, Q
substance whose unusual and varied
properties give it an unusual posi-
ton in the chemical industry, says
DR.. Thomas M. Beck, in the Chi
cago Tribune.
Chromium is a silvery, hard, crys-.
talline metal It is about as heavy
as iron and melts at about the same
temperature. It is obtained chiefly
from the ore chromite, which Is
found in a few scattered deposits,
chiefly in Rhodesia and New Gale
donia. The ore is a compound Of
chromium with oxygen and iron. It
is worked up by roasting with soda
at high temperatures in current Of
air. The resulting mass is then
washed with hot water, which dis
solves the chromium content as one
of its compounds, sodium chromate,
which may then be converted into
the other desired compounds Of the
metal.
The name chromium is derived
from Greek word meaning color,
The compounds of many metals,
such as aluminium, lead, or zinc, are
colorless (unless, of course, they
are combined with some color-pro-
ducing elemenD. Compounds Of
most other metals exhibit single
characteristic color, such al the
blue Of copper compounds or the,
green Of nickel But the many COM
pounds of chromium present an ar
ray Of color that can be matched
only by Joseph's coat.

Chambers, Horse Disease,
Is Communicable to Man

Few equine diseases are commu-
nicable to man. Chambers Is the
most common one. Extensive out
breaks occurred In the great armies
OF the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
centuries when, for the sake of q
horse, kingdom might be lost or
won. Chambers Is characterized BY
ulcers in the nose, which sometimes
spread to the lungs or intestines.
To humans it may be deadly, though
In horses it tends to become chronic
and not necessarily fatal, according
to Victor G. Heiser, M. D., in Col
lier's Weekly.
Another disease the horse shares
with man is anthrax. although cat
tie and, sheep are far more subject
to it. Direct contact Is the only
method of transmitting anthrax. But
once the soil where the animals
have pastured is infected, Il may
remain so for years unless prompt
steps are taken.
IL human DSlASS aatnrax begins
as an inhamed pimple with q hard
center and gradually extending
red zone Of Inflammation around II.
The enormous carbuncle, burning
like little coal. as the Greek deri-
walton OF its name implies, extends
into the deeper structure below the
skin. far into the connective tissue.
The patient is simply overwhelmed
by the poisons and the high fever.
Farmer George Washington, at the
beginning Of his first term, devel-
oped one Of these on his leg and we
almost lost our first President.
Anthrax has the distinction of be-
ing the first bacillus to be definitely
associated with the cause Of a spe-
cifc disease. It Is easily stained
and, because Of its great size, was
also one Of the first in which the
great Koch recognized the reproduc-
tive spores, the little nucleoli In

The Base for Paint

Paint generally is composed of a
base, a vehicle and a drier. The
base is the chief ingredient of the
paint, and may be one or a COM
bination Of several different COM
pounds, such as white lead, zinc
lead, zinc white. red lead, iron OK
ide, and others. When the desired
color is not obtained by the use Of
bases. additional coloring pigments.
such as chrome green, Prussian
blue and the like, may be incorpo-
rated. The vehicle Is the liquid por-
ton Of the paint, which gives it its
covering quality; the commonest is
linseed oil.

PiccOIO, Old instrument

A German invention. the piecolo
! Is just about 400 years old. But its
ancestry goes much further back.
For, as the name indicates, it's a
little flute" and flutes were prob
ably the first musical instruments.
Flutes were popular in ancient
Greece, where, legend has it, they
were invented by Athena, goddess
Of wisdom. The story goes that
Athena threw her creation away
after seeing in stream how her
face was distorted while playing.
But the flute came back when an
other god, Marsyas, found it and
became proficient at it.

Ramhnn Arithmetic

Japanese arithmetic is done by
boys and girls in school on a kind
of slate made of bamboo rods. Num-
bers are represented by colored
beads which easily slip back and
forth as one counts. Written let

fat brush and black paint. The brush
has a fine point for delicate parts,
of letters and much practice is need
ed to make the alphabet with its
intricate design.

Choice Lamb
Dish

There are certain cuts of lamb
that are easy on the food budget
because they are among the less
demanded cuts. The slices from
the neck are among these and il
prepared with care they can be
both attractive to the taste and
to the eye.
To keep them attractive in ap-
pearance have them cut in double
slices, that is have one thick slice
cut in the center not quite through
and spread to twice the size of the
single slice. Cook by braising.
Dredge them with flour, seasoned
with salt and pepper, brown on
both sides in the hot fat. and
cook slowly in a covered kettle
with a small amount Of water
added.
When the lamb is tender, the
vertebrae can be easily removed,
and their places filled with mashed
potatoes forced through the pastry
tube. This makes a most attrac-
tive looking dish.
Vegetables such as onions, and
carrots cut julliene may be cooked
with the neck slices but their
cooking should be timed. It is
not necessary for the vegetables
to be covered with water during
the cooking process. The lamb
is cooked in a tightly covered
kettle and the vegetables will be
tenderized by the steam.

DOUBTS SINCERITY

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We've been going together for
three years. He's 20 and I'm "a.
He claims to be in love with me,
nevertheless he escorts certain
young lady to social functions and
does not attempt to hide this
from me.
THE thing which is perplexing
is he tells me 1 am to wait for
him, until we are able to be mar
ried. Do you think this boy is
sincere? ID. H."
The fact that the young man
does not attempt to conceal it,
when he takes out this other girl
is to his credit. If he told you to
wait for him and secretly sneaked
with the other young lady. I'd
have my doubts about his sincerity.
Better not wait" to the extent
of refusing to go out with other
young men. You have the same
privilege as he does in going with
others.

RADIO LAMPS

IT'S always been difficult to
i find Just the right decora-
ton for the top of radio
that bare and forlorn spot in
so many homes. But now
there's a whole group of
grand looking lamps in a
downtown store that were de-
signed especially for the top
Of your radio cabinet. They
are of black metal or honey
toned alabaster base with fig
ures in ivory effect. The
faces have a cameo-like deli
cacy. Some sit gazing into
crystal bowls. Others lean
against alabaster stands. The
soft dim light calls attention
to the beauty Of the cabinet
itself. These lamps are very
new, and are already proving
quick favorites. They are
priced $6.95 to $S.95.

No assortment of winter vege-
tables can bring the same treat
as mustard beet tops or dandelion
green's prepared properly.
A steaming dish of bacon and
mustard greens has good value
far above its vitamin content. It
stimulates the appetite and brings
the uplift so needed for spring
menus.
These greens, along with kale
and spinach, can be found at most
of the markets now. They are one
of the good food buys this week.
Choose the green's that are young
and fresh. Buy generously. Two
and a half to three pounds will
cook into about four cups Of
greens. Just try it if you doubt.
Wash them thoroughly first in
hot water, then in cold water. II
it is spinach or kale, cook them in
only a few tablespoons Of water.
The length Of time of cooking
will depend on the type of greens
used. The old-fashioned method of
cooking them is with white or fat
bacon.
The dock and mustard green's
are savory if they are boiled in
water with ham hooks. The green's
should be drained before being
served but the water should not
be discarded as it does contain
a high mineral content.
The tender leaves of the dande-
lion can be used in salads. In fact
a combination Of the dandelion
with certain other early spring
greens is very delectable.
The green's when served with
the ham hooks or with poached
eggs can form the main dish on
the menu.
Here are some recipes that do
justice to these foods.

Sible to make a habit Of light
meals without the least strain or
hunger.
Training the appetite is no
great sacrifice for the girl who is
really determined to have a nice
smart figure. but for some reason
it seems almost impossible for her
to do a regular course of exer-
cises. There is always some ex-
cuse, so it is put off until another
time.
Exercise
The exercise is so important m
reducing everyone should do few
movements several times a day,
but when we are losing weight it
will keep the muscles firm and the
face free from wrinkles. Here Is
the way to go about it:
Start with only one movement
such as the bending or kicking.
If you are going to do the kicking,
swing the right leg vigorously for
IS kicks; then do the same with
the left and no other movement,
but repeat this three or four times
day before you add another.
After a few days of this regular
work, you will find you would not
think of doing without your exer-
else and will feel younger and
more graceful.

the other movements for variety
