"Hot- Water-Bottle Dog"
Name for Hairless Breed

Mexican Hairless dogs come from
Mexico, also the native heath of
the Chihuahua. The hairless dogs
are much larger than the Chihua-
hua, weighing about the same as a
toy-sized Fox terrier.
The Mexican Hairless is called the
"hot-water-bottle dog of its native
country.
The explanation discloses they
have been actually used by natives
in Mexico to cure rheumatism. The
afflicted person lies close to this hair
less dog and the latter's body heat
is supposed to relieve the pain.
In appearance, observes a writer
in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the
Mexican hairless resembles a Chi
huahua, except for size and eyes.
The hairless one has pink eye rims
which circle brilliant yellow or ha-
zel-colored pupils. A bit of silky fluff
serves as a top-knot upon the mar
row skull of the animal. There is
also a small amount of hair near
the tip of it's rat-like tail.
The bald skin of this Mexican dog
is sometimes liver-spotted. The dog
we recall at the Westminster show
was slightly spotted with high
colored pink surface.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID

Federal aid to highways may not
be curtailed. Chairman Cartwright
of the House Roads Committee has
introduced bill consistent with
what he says are "well-established
Federal aid policies.
II am a strong advocate of eco
nomy but believe reductions should
be made in all agencies of the Gov
eminent and not just make roads the
goat" said Mr.. Cartwright in an ex-
PLANTATION of his bill. The bill author
ICES 1925, 100000 for primary roads
each year.
The measure of which Mr.
Cartwright has placed before Con-
gress appears to be definite ex-
preston of the Roads Committee. 1t
provides 100000 for each year
for the elimination of hazards at
railroad grade crossings and $685.
100000 year for secondary roads
including farm-to-market roads,
rural delivery mail roads, and pub
lie school bus routes.
Highway development still lags
far behind the steadily increasing
demands of traffic." said Cartwright.
in addressing the House.

STABILIZING EMPLOYMENT

American business depends upon
making goods and selling them to
the public. When for any reason the
purchasing power of the people fails
or large numbers of people decide
to defer buying until some future
time the whole business system goes
into a slump like the present one.
Therefore consideration is now being
given in the National Capital to the
practices of finance and industries
throughout the country. Salesman
ship practices and installment buy
ing are factors affecting business to
which President Roosevelt calls
attention.
The White House conferences anc
Congress proceedings have laid stress
on the Importance of employment
sterilization" in the industries.
There was especially sympathetic
approval of this objective by repre-
sentatives of industry in recent
White House conferences. They said
nothing was of greater Importance
to the automobile industry, for inst
ance, than orderly nationwide con-
ditions. Steady employment of their
workers, steady demands for cars,
sound installment terms were the
things essential to everybody's sue
cess Examination of practices in the
industry and proposed corrections
will be submitted to the White
House.
1t is generally understood that
the board principle of self-regula-
ton is being urged by the Admins
tration upon all industries, and also
upon the American Federation Of
Labor, John L. Lewis C. I. o., and
others who are in position to aid in
ending the recession.

WHO MUST FILE INCOME TAX
RETURNS

Returns are required of every sim
gle person who for the year had
gross income of $4,000 or more or a
net income of $1,000 or more and OIL
every husband and wife living to-
gether who for the year 1887 had an
aggregate gross income of $4,000 or
more or an aggregate net income of
$4,000 or more. Widowers, widows,
Divorces, and married persons sepa-
rated by mutual consent are classed
as single persons. The personal ex-
emptions are $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married persons
living together and for heads OF
families.
Husband and wife living together
at the close of the taxable year may
include their income in single joint
return or make separate returns OF
the income of each. If separate re-
turns are filed, one may not report
income which belongs to the other,
but must report only the income
which actually belongs to him. If a
joint return is filed, such return is
treated as taxable unit, and the in
come disclosed is subject to both the
normal tax and the surtax.
Where separate returns are filed
by husband and wife, the joint per-
sonal exemption of $4,000 may be
taken by either or divided between
them in any proportion as agreed
upon.
Husband and wife may elect each
year whether to file joint return or
separate returns. Where, however,
joint or separate returns have been
fled for a particular year, neither
husband nor wife may after the due
date of the, return file an amended
return or returns on different basis
for that year.

How to Make Skeleton Leaves

To make skeleton leaves the
leaves may be placed in rain water
to which trace of yeast has been
added. Fermentation proceeds UNI
til the membranous portion becomes
soft enough to be washed away in a
stream of water. The skeleton
leaves may be bleached by dipping
a few minutes in a strong aqueous
solution of sulphur dioxide, or may
be exposed while moist in a box
filed with the vapor of burning sui
phur.

METHODISTS ATTACK ADMINS
TRATION'S FOREIGN POLICY

The executive committee of the
National Council of Methodist Youth
made it clear last week in letter to
President Roosevelt that it would
not support the Government in a
Far East war, because sit will not
be our war. We cannot fight in it,"
Headed by Thomas Pendell of Los
Angeles, the executive body said:
1--WE express the opinion of the Ma
tional Council of Methodist Youth
through this committee, Mr.. Presi-
dent, when we say: If you lead us
into war in the Far East. we will
not support your Administration in
that war;"
The Methodists protested "the
provisional 24-hour foreign policy
OF the Administration, particularly
the State Department" and con
tinued: "Our further indictment
against you, Mr.. President, includes
your recently annouced naval expan-
sion program. We condemn, as
two steps in the militarization OF
American. your program for the in
crease of the Navy by 20 per cent,
and the further extension of the
Army"
The executive committee also
criticized the manner in which the
Administration blocked considera
ton OF the Ludlow War Refer
endum Amendment and hurled the
accusation at the President that
You spoke and acted against any
real use of the democratic process
which you spoke 80 much about in
the last election"

clean surface; add a drop of chro-
mic acid, and after several seconds
rinse the acid from the metal. The
metal will be stained red if it is

JULIUS FINE GOING
TO REFORM SCHOOL
ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE
TO TAKE HIM TO
MARIANNE

At long last, and after building
up a reputation for every imagin-
able form of minor deviltry, from
killing monkeys TO stealing small
sums of money and interspersing
his activities with small items like
starting fires and other child-like
things, Julius Fine is to be sent
to the reform school.
For many months this incor-
rigible boy has been a plague to
the powers of law enforcement.
Many times he has been caught in
some fragrant act and has had the
effrontry to acknowledge his vio-
lation of the law, but up until
now has evaded severe punish
ment because of being under age.
With his last escapade, another
charge of theft, which happened
after April 30, when he was II
years of age, it was decided that
the time had arrived to place him
under some restraining influence,
and Mrs. Juliette Russell, juvenile
judge, decided to have him sent
to the Reform School at Marian
ma.
The case was written up and
forwarded to Tallahassee, and to-
day commitment papers are
awaiting the opportunity of the
sheriff's office to take julius and
place him in care of the authori-
ties at Mariana.
AT the office Of Sheriff X. o.
Thompson today it was learned
that the boy may be kept here un-
til after the activities of July "a,
after which he will be taken
away.
