FAMOUS DOGS OF DAMASCUS
E-ch of the Thousands of Pariah
Bands Has Its Own Territory,
and Sticks to It.
It is estimated that there are any
where from 15,000 to 30,000 dogs
•n Damascus, and they are all
pariahs. Each has his or her cor
ner on a certain street and there is
no protection for those canines Who
gtrav into territory not their own.
In bands of ten to twenty they pa
trol the city by day, and at night
time, when they are not adding to
the noises of the Orient by vocal pro
tests against the ways of the world,
they sleep in every nook and cranny
about the thoroughfares.
They are always hungry' and it
needs only the call, “Suk, suk, suk,”
to rouse them in legions, for by that
token of Eastern speech they know
that some one, for some reason, is
about to feed them bread.
But wander about the different
streets in search of food? Not they!
Bather do they maintain a “splen
did' isolation” and refuse to stray
from their own street, or even from
their particular end of a certain
thoroughfare, for they are clannish
beyond measure, and their preju
dices are distinctly insular even
when they are extremely hungry.

Amateur ReaWy Didn't See Why Golfer
Should Be Given So Much Praise
for His Work.
Perhaps George Cline "will deny
that he is the party, hut out at An
nandale—
“So you watched Yardon play
golf ?”
“Yes.”
“Iiow did he impress you?”
“Not particularly. It’s an easy
game, the way he plays it.”
“That so ? I thought he was quite
remarkable.”
“Remarkable! I didn’t see any
thing remarkable about his game.
His ball was always straight down
the course, and the second shot al
ways put him on the green. I could
do that, too, if it weren’t for the
trouble I always get into in start
ing. I’d like to see Yardon shoot
the course in par with my ' slice.
Then he’d be doing something.”—

PAPER YARNS DURABLE.
Tarns of paper which came into
use during the war will be with us
permanently. The durability and
desirability of this material has been
greatly increased by the process of
making it waterproof, which has
been found to be a very difficult
problem. A number of materials
have been used, but the best method
seems to be first to pass the yarn
through a bath of gum, tannin and
silicate of soda at 50 degrees C., and
then through a cold bath of basic
formate of aluminum. Fabrics of
paper yarns in this country have so
far been used principally for pack
ing purposes and certain types of j
bags, notably those used for onions. j

No Foresight!
Old Si Chesnut said : “My foresight is never
as good as my hindsight—not by a darnsight,”
We are all troubled that way more oriless. Fore
sight usually paints a rosy picture that hindsight
proceeds to smear with a very drab tint. If we
knew what was going to happen even 24 hours
ahead, we would all be rich. But we don’t know.
The only way to judge the future is by the past.
The men who work and save, get ahead, especially
when they keep their money at our Bank. Try
this plan.
