LAST BLOW AT CAPITALISM Lenrneve Beautiful Scheme Puts End to AlI Possibility of Laying Away Any Money. Among the many strange fruits of the war is the fliat national legislation on record that frankly champions th6 Prodigal Son and makes frugality not only undesirable, but also impractica blo. This law, according to recent uews from Copenhagen, has been pro mnulgated by-yes, of course-by the inspired statesmen of the Soviets. They are issuing a new currency that's guaranteed to be specific cure for ill the ills of capitalism. A differ ent series of notes comues out each ilionth and every series has a different color. B1esides, a glorious innovation in finance Is brought to pass through the proviso that every note becomes null, vold, Invalid, absolutely worthless at the expiration of tlie month for which it wa' enitted. JResult: The soclal millennium! All July wages, salary, profits, or income received in pale green July currency must be paid out by July 31. It can't be exchanged after that date for t ", glowing pluk of August's issue; and, furthermnoro, it will seldomn )e accept ed at its full face value, even In July, by any concern not thoroughly soviol. Ized. Thus all of Comrade Lenine's oflicial, commercial, Industrial, or agi cultural undertakings are assured of ample savings, the creation of capital becones thenceforth lmpossible.-New York Nvening Post. TO WALK ACROSS COUNTRY Famous Swiss Pedestrian Will Make Exhaustive Study of Men and Conditions in America. Dr. Maxime Leuret, the Swiss globe trotting walker, recently arrived in this country.

Our laws regarding dog bites, which Judge Cluer declares .to be full of anointlies, are all of modern date, S6ays Tit-Bits. There seems to be no reference to dogs in any law passed before the accession of Queen Victoria. In a case heard by Mr. Justice Eliot in 1535 it was ruled that dogs were vermin, and for that reason the church would not degrade Itself by taking tithes pf then. Nor was a dog the subject of inrceny at common law, the ruling be ing that "a man shall not hanug for a dog." Parliament first began to notice dogs, in 1838, by passing a statute increas. Ing "the resources of civilization" against the lawless doings of Irish crs. Ten years later, (log ilghtlig, bull halting and bear balting were prohib ited by parliament. letween 1854 and 1882 no fewer than eight statutes were passed regulating the coiidition and social status of the log, one of which placed him in a position of a tax Iayer.

When he had suffl Aently recovered from the shock, with ilIate of victuals in hand, he ap iroaehedI the food trader, and indig iantly Inquired as to the cause of the mudden change in price. "Why, I bought this hgrdly three inutes ago," he protested, "when it ,vts quoted 30." The lunch room profiteer smartly an iwered, "I know, but the asked price . now 35."
