DOGS DEATH ENDS FEUD

NASHVILLE, T e n n, Sept. 7.
UP)-When a speeding motorcycle
ended the life of a four-year- old
Boston terrier here recently, it also
concluded a bitter verbal battle
between two families over its own
ership. The terrier, having numer-
GUS and conflicting aliases. was re-
ferred to merely as Mr.. x" when
the dispute reached general sessions
court several months ago. At that
time w. A Winn successfully re-
plevined the dog from Mrs. A E.
Elliott, who bemoaned the decision
as a miscarriage Of justice" Later
the canine turned up at the Elliott
home for Gays visit, but on at
torney's advice he was returned to
the Winns.

The three most common causes
of residential fires, according to
fire prevention authorities are rub
bish, defective chimneys and COM
bustible roofs. Because many seri-
Gus conflagrations have resulted
from fires spreading from roof to
roof, many cities now require that
roofs be covered with fire-retardant
materials.

Ever stop to consider how different
lemons az from most other foods :?
Most fcctl5 you buy to eat. But the
Sunkist consumer surveys show
that OF all the people who use lem-
ems, only out Of every thousand eat
them in their original form.
Most foods have one or two uses.
Lemons have dozens Of uses. They
make the most satisfying and
healthful summer drink known to
man. They're the prime requisite OF
that great American institution,
lemon meringue pie. Lemon with hot
and cold tea is another important
use. Lemon Is to fish what mustard
Is to hot dogs.
Lemon and soda, and hot lemonade,
are used for colds. Lemon and water,
taken first thing ON arising, is used
as mild laxative. Lemons will gar
nish your salad, take stains from
your towels, favor your tomato
Juice and provide the ideal rinse fer
your hair.
X X X
When your reporter stopped in to
talk with the Sunkist advertising
staff about lemon advertising, they
reminded him of these facts, and
pointed out that the lemon really IS
many products in one package. Each
has its own story, its own competi-
ton. Which makes the advertising
of lemons very complicated!
And It's as important as it is COM
plicated. Despite the steady, SUBJ
stantial increases made in lemon
consumption IN the last few years,
and despite today's gratifying mar
bet picture, lemon consumption must
Increase still faster in the years
ahead if it is to keep pace with ex-
banding production. To meet this
need-to further build consumer de-
fnand so the largo crtp: OF the fu-
fure may sell at god prices-a WE'LL
tested, long-term plan of Sunkist
Lemon advertising has been devel-
Cped. Approved by the Exchange
Board, il is now in full Operation. It
consists of separate and en..-eiy
different campaign5:
/.
Two of these campaigns-on Food
zJses. and Cold Lemonade-are
aimed at maintaining and expand
ing the chief uses that have ac-
counted for lemon consumption IN
ahe past. The other two open fields
never exploited till the last lew
wears. One promotes lemons as a
iayative-"Lemon and Water first
thing on arising which calls Tor
J lemon per day. The other pro-
smotes lemons for colds, with spe-
eial emphasis On Lemon and Soda,
4 new routine which requires sew
tral lemons per cold.
These new promotions have already
proved out. When they began, the
use of Lemon and Water and Lemon
and Soda was negligible Today,
surveys show, these uses have to-
tai of over 100000 customer.
And these new efforts are really
just beginning.

Writes of Australia

The editor received this week letter
from Pfc. Vaudrell A. bud" Shanks
USA, now in New Guinea, which is self
explanatory. Bud has been in the service
since October, 1912. and has been over
seas for the past six months, the first
three months Of which were spent in
| Australia.
Readers with friends in Australia will
be interested in the letter which follows:
Dear Editor;
If you deem this worthy Of publica-
ton, III try to answer few of the
numerous questions I've been asked by
friends back there, concerning Australia,
(The country down under).
Australia was named by Spanish OK
plorer in honor of Austrian-born King
Philip of Spain. 1t is one of the Oldest
white man. There is still the question
of "Who discovered Australia 2" In 177O,
Capt. Cook, a British explorer landed
and claimed it as British possession.
But, before him, came Dutch, Spanish,
and Portuguese, who were along the
coast lines of Australia at various times.
The year 1888 is really the birthday
of Australia and incidentally the year
our constitution was ratified by the
States. Until white men came, Australia
was inhabited only by small number
of Natives, called "Abos" (for Abort

They have a poll tax. but unlike ours
it costs six dollars not to vote. They
have q federation Of six states, each hav-
ing local government. OF the few poll
tical parties. the labor party, represent
ing organized labor, is dominant The
Prime Minister is appointed by the
strongest party. He and his chosen cabi-
net govern, unless they lose confidence
of parliament. Even though Australia
is British Dominion, and proud of it's
British heritage, the people govern
themselves and take pride in doing so.
Considering the enormous living
space, with so few people (about the
population of New York City,, one would
think farming and stock-raising would
be the chief occupations. It's true, it is
a big cattle and sheep country, but most
of the people live in and around the few
cities, making their living in industry.
1t is obvious that Australia's aim is to
maintain "white Australia. OF course,
there are the Natives, but they prefer
to live back in the Jungles in their prim-

tive way. We find in the Australian
people, peace loving people that love
free life as we do. They like and respect
the "Yanks" because they know they
have much in common with us. As yet,
they are still behind in developing and
utilizing their resources, but where we
were, they are, and where we are, they
hope to be someday. At present, they
are, every one of them, war conscious,
sacrificing, when and where needed and
without howl, (something / can't say
for all countries at war; Their motto is
work, fight, or perish" and they take
it seriously too. We "Yanks" are proud
of them as our fighting buddies.

this way, I'll say that if you get to
Sydney, you'll get a very, very, very

ly blondes and red heads) If you're a

ernoon and night right in our own

quite a handful of our fellows, includ-
ing Sgt. Jones and Pvt. Page.
Sgt. Robert p. Buyers probably
thought he was watching the Cincin-
