A collie to most people means a brown, yellow or tan dog with more or less white on his neck and chest. A cocker' spaniel is a little black or red dog, depending on what section of the country it comes from. Scotties are black, and so forth, ad infinitum. Yet the standards of many breeds, perhaps most breeds, specify several colors, states a writer in the Washington Star. • Collies, although most often encountered in the above-mentioned sable and white (sable in dogs being brown, not black) comes also in white, tri-color (black body with more or less white and tan markings) and blue merle (black spotted •gray with white and tan markings). Cocker spaniels may be black, red, buff, black and white, red and white, blue roan (similar to the blue merle or collies, but without the white and tan), tri-color or liver. * Scotties may be one of numerous shades of brindle or a light straw color called wheaten, as well as black. A Great Dane may be black, fawn colored, brindle in several shades, blue merle or harlequin, white with black or blue patches, and sometimes even chocolate. Some breeds are limited to one or two colors, notably the Irish setter. Which must be red, Schnauzers must fee gray or sandy. English bull terriers must be white, the colored brethren being counted as a distinct breed. Doberman Pinschers come in ted and black and tan, and the black and tans must conform to a certain pattern. There are some breeds which vary not only in coat color, but in kind of coat. Best known, probably* are the fox terriers, which come with "smooth coats and wire-Jiair coats. Although to the casual eye they look dissimilar, they realjy are the same breed. Dachshunds are divided by coat, smooth, long and wire hair; color, red, black and tan, Chocolate*, blue, and weight, miniature, mediums and above a certain weight.

Posed by Olivia de Haviland. Early Gas Lighting Was Regarded as Ridiculous When gas lighting first appeared, at about the end of the Eighteeijjthcentury, it was considered by all persons with sound common sense to be taken seriously. Only when the practice appeared to be gaining ground did an outraged public arise against it. It is one of the instances of the essential conservatism of the public mind toward revolutionary inventions cited in a report on technological trends of the National Resources committee. "There is a madman proposing to light the streets of London with smoke," wrote Sir Walter Scott. Lord Byron thought the idea Was very ludicrous. Such an eminent man of science as Sir Humphrey Davy laughed at it and considered those who proposed it as harmless lunatics. "Une grande folie," said the great Napoleon when somebody proposed gas lighting for Paris. One outstanding objection Was that gas tanks would not be picturesque. N London succumbed in 1810. Paris held out until 1818. Berlin only submitted to a gas plant in 1826, after tremendous opposition. Some of the gas lamps exploded the day they were installed on Unter den Linden, and all Germans with sound common sense felt that their long fight had been vindicated. ; Balance and Remainder Do not say "I'll dust half the books this morning, and the balance thts'Sfternoon." Say the rest, advises London Tit-Bits Magazine. A balance is an amount which must be added or subtracted from one account tb make it equal to atiother account. If John has ten apples and Jane has six, two apples taken from John and given to Jane balance the number of apples each now has, in this case eight. So two is the balance that has to be transferred from one to the other to make the totals agree. When you have taken two apples from John, the remainder, not the balance* is eight. notes Post, pitch night. Castles Uncomfortable Homes Castles may look romantic, .but they made uncomfortable homes, a writer in the Washington Instead of lamps or candles, torches furnished light at Smoke soon filled the room, for the windows were mere slits in the wall. Piles of rushes were used as beds. Chicken bones and other food scraps were thrown on the floor. Dogs cleaned them up. Castles 600 years old and more are standing in the Louvre valley of France. Some had walls 35 feet thick, built to withstand battering rams. ' Historic French Fountain A historic French fountain, centuries old, which once bubbled with •Norman cider von festal days, is in the city of Rouen. Rouen possesses eighty-seven fountains, which is believed to be a record for France, but the most famous was La Fontaine du Gros-Horloge, or the Fountain of the Big Clock. Its last restoration dates back to 1732 by Jean-Pierre de France, an architect engaged by the Duke of Normandy. Pine Tar Used in Oakum Pine tar is used to impregnate hemp fibers in making oakum. It is this tar which gives the oakum the characteristic and lasting odor.

At the height oi the emergency Red Cross relief offices were established in 182 Inundated counties and in 146 counties where refugees were cared for, the report' stated. Bight regional head quarters offices controlled the 328 coun ty offices, and were JU> tarn supervised by the National Red Crosb lif Washingten. D. C. •A statistical summary of persons, aided by the organization indicates that the floods constituted the greatest peace-time emergency ever faced by the nation. The Red Cross gave some fprm of assistance to 1,062,000 men, women and children Prom January to August/ hundreds ot trained workers helped by thousands of volunteers administered to the sufferers. A Red Cross rescue fleet of 6400 boats was organized, according to the report. Emergeucj hospitals estate - llshed totaled 300 and 3600 nurses were assigned to flood duty. In more than 1,000 refugee centers the victims ot the flood were sheltered, clothed and fed. Through the Red Cross medicalhealth program and the work of ptibllc health agencies sickness was kept to normal for the time of year in ill Inundated areas. Because of its disaster experience the Red Cross was directed by the President of the I nited States, who is also president of the Red Cross, to coordinate the effori of all federal flood relief groups. Government and Red Cross officials met daily at the Red Cross headquarters building In Wash lngton to plan relief measures and pre vent duplication ot effort. "We were fortunate in having 66 years of disaster reiief experience to call upon in meeting the emergency." Admiral Gary T. Grayson chairman of the Re^ Cross, said. It was found tnat 97,000 families composed of 436.000 persons had to have their resources supplemented or an entirely new start provldec by the. Red Cross, the report stated. Red Cross emergency and rehabilitation assistance was as follows: rescue, transportation and shelter tor 62,000 families; food, clothing and other maintenance tor 193.000 families: building and repair tor 27,000 famlliei; household goods (or 90.00t families; medical, nursing and sanitation Lelp tor 15,000 families; agricultural rehabilitation tor 10.000 families; other occupational aid tor 3,000 families and other types of relief (or 4,000 families. "Credit tor this largest peace-time relief operation in the history of the nation must go to the American people who contrlbutea a Red Cross relief fund of more than $25,000,000." Admiral Grayson said. During the yeai the Red Cross gave aid to the victims of 105 other dlF asters in 36 states. Alaska and the District of Columbia. The Red Cross financed the majbrlty of these relief operations from money contributed through memberships during the annual Roll Call last November, since it Is only in case of large scale disasters that a national drive for relief funds i* made. This year the Roll Call is from No vember 11th to the 25th. The Red Cross seeks a greater membership to meet its disaster rellei and other service obligations during 1938. Last year Red Cross Chapters gave vital help to 120.000 needy families. Red Cross Replaces Farm Family Losses The Red Cross gave agricultural rehabilitation to 10,116 farm Tarn Hies following the severe eastern floods of las winter. Types of aid Included teed. seed. livestock, farm tools and machinery and other Item? essential to agricultural product!* ity. More than $599,000 was ex pended by tbe organization to meet these requirements In addition to occupational as slstance, rural families hard hit by the flood waters were rescued clothed, ted and sheltered by the Red Cross. Where It was necessary the Red Cross repaired and re built out-buildings, barns and othei structures. Medical and nursing care were provided and homes re furnished. Red Cross agricultural rehabillta tlon benefited nearly three times ar many families as received all other types of Red Cross occupational re habilitation combined. Labor's advocacy of the Red Cross program is attested by recent statements from William Green, president of the American federation ot Labor and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. "Red Cross alms and purposes are highly commendable and deseiving of the support of all classes of people," said Mr. Greex "The activities and service ot the American Red Cross satisfy a great need of the people, and I strongly urge that it receive the unqualified Support of all djiring its annual Roll Call for members." Mr. Lewis said. IN BIRD LAND Owls display'no skill in nestmaking. . j ' In North America, north of the Rio Grande, 800 distinct specie* at birds have been recoraed.

Living for at least three quarters of a century is the privilege of more than one of each five of the inhabitants of the State although the average life span is only about sixty years, due particularly to the high mortality among babies under one year of age. These observations are disclosed by the mortality experience in Illinois last year, the continuation of which: will exercise a greater and greater influence over medical and public health problems and practices in the future.
