TOBIAS HOBSON was an English
1 livery stable keeper. From his
famous stables he hired out horses
by the day or hour. In hiring
horse you could look them all over
and make your own selection but
by hook or crook, Hobson would
contrive to get you to take the one
nearest the door. AS that horse was
sent out the rest were moved up and
the next customer would be invei-
gled into taking Hobson's choice of
horses while being blarneyed into
thinking he had made his own. 1t
became the joke of the town and
the expression came down to us
meaning a choice with but one
course to choose.

NEW YORK-tP)-Of all house
hold pets, only the dog cannot
be traced to its wild state to the
full satisfaction of science. The
Australian dingo dog, a wild ami
NAL, is probably the closest link
between dog and wolf or fox.
But in the entire world, says The
1949 Book of knowledge Annual,
there are, no other wild dogs
from which the dingo could
have sprung. Rover's ancestors
have !. completely disappeared
