making ship models, with 81 to his
credit, SIS of which were completed
in 1886. A New York widow of a
sea captain and expert ship mod

1882 by giving him her husbands
books on the subject. His 1886 rec
ord left him with doctors orders to
stop the work or risk seriously i'm
pairing his eyesight. A long rest
and he is back at his work again.
In 1886 he often made a model a

"But it takes SYSTEM" he said, "like
everything else. map each model
out on paper, make my own blue
prints, and then follow them
closely"

Dog Enjoys Soda Drink
Without Using Saucer

EVANSVILLE, IND. - Muggsy,
the nine-year-old mongrel dog
owned by Ada White of Evansville,
is more than just mutt-he's a
canine companion.
First among his accomplishments
is the ability to drink from a bottle.
He accompanies his mistress to a
soft drink stand and waits patiently
for the bottle. When she hands it
to him, he wraps his forelegs around
it and drinks directly from it. No
straw or saucer is necessary.
He doesn't like hot weather. When
the temperature rises, he barks for
his cold bath. He likes a tub of
cold water, and Miss White says
he will lie in it for hours.
When he comes into a room, he
remembers to close the door.
