Tke Bee Hive
Writer Speculates on
Poesible “Dog Heaven
Been thinking again. Been sitting
scratching my dog’s ear and think
ing. Nice little dog. She bus more
sense and more humanity almost that
lots of humans whom I have met up
with. What a wonderful thing is the
love and care of an animal . for her
young! People have been coming
over to see her puppies—three ugly
little bull pups, with f»ot much to see
but wrinkles, says a dog fancier in
Adventure Magazine.
Yesterday they disappeared mys
teriously from their nest In the cor-
*ner of my little barn. I looked round
and by and by found them. She had
dug a large round hole under the
house and there she had taken them.
1 brought them out to the lawn. She
smiled at me, in a superior and moth
erly maimer and promptly lifted one
by his hind thigh and bore him sway
to her newly made nest. In a very
few minutes they were all back un-
rtler the house. Thai she csme and
looked up, smiling at me, end request
ed me to scratch her under the ear.
It would be rather nice if there ac
tually were a dog star, would It notT
Where we might in the hereafter
meet up with our old dogs and hear
Just what they had to say.
The complete trust and comrade
ship that a dog offers to a man la a
lovely thing. Too bad so many men
are not even fit for the trust of a little
yaller dog! It la such an unwavering
and utter trust It obght to make a
man the better, causing him to sense
something of his responsibility to the
animal creation. Don’t you think so?
It would be rather correct, I think,
If in the hereafter there is a dog star
in which the dogs will live happily
together with all the doggy affairs ar^
ranged to suit themselves. Then, per
haps, those humans who In this world
hove been unworthy of the confidence
of their dogs will be led round on
chains and fed upon old bones, and
occasionally dipped in sheep dip to
kill their Aeas, eh? Shat in the pound
and left there till some dog comes
along and agrees to pay for their
license?
How’s that for an Idea, now? Think
I’m mad for sure, don’t you? Well—
maybe 1 am, but It was the mother
of the puppies below my house who
put -me wise to it. You’d better look
out. Maybe you will have to wear a
muzzle yet, in dog star land.
Panama's Noah's Ark
Barro Colorado island was formed
when the valleys about It were flooded
by the Impounding of the water of the
Cbagrea river to form Qatun lake, says
the Detroit News. It resembles
Noah's ark In that there gathered as
the waters rote nearly every form of
animal life in the vicinity, seeking
escape from the rising flood.
Despite that It Is only two miles
from the Panama river, It ha« been
found to harbor amphibians of new
and strange habits as yet unstudied
and Innumerable species of Insects
never described, as well as many
strange and exotic plants, number
ing 2,000 or more. It abounds with
anteaters, sloths, armadillos, peccaries,
tapirs, agoutis, coatls, the ocelot, the
jaguar, many species of bat, monkeys
of various kinds and the famous black
howlers.
May End Mosquito Plague
An end to mosquito plague may be
brought about by raising a brand of
non-stinging mosquitoes guaranteed
to expel the stinging variety, accord
ing to a paper by a well-known scien
tist, read in tha Academy of Sciences,
Paris. The scientist described how
he had found in certain parts of
Brittany a variety of common mos
quitoes which never entered houses
and never stung human beings. Fur
thermore, he noted that where these
were found there was never any sign
of the stlhging variety. As an experi
ment he transported some of the
harmless variety from Brittany to the
Charente department and found the
non-stlngera supplanted their stinging
brothers In s short time.

Woman in New Role
First civil marriage to be conducted
by a woman In England waa cele
brated when Miss Dorothy M. Hal
dane, the deputy-superintendent regis
trar, officiated In SL Giles’ register
office, Bloomsbury, London. Miss
Haldane was appointed deputy-super^
tntendeht last April. The bridegroom
showed some astonishment at a wom
an officiating. Although the first
marriage conducted by a woman In a
register office, women have previously

YOU ARE BEHIND THE TIMES WITHOUT 4-WHEEL BRAKES
The Country Has “Gone” Nash
February Biggest Month of
Business in Nash History
The cyclonic sweep of Nash sales is
like a political landslide.
. •
— a 'if
For five successive months Nash busi
ness has swept far beyond the highest
previous records for these same months.
Nash sales at all motor shows to date
average 114% higher than 1924.
February, though a winter month and
shortest of the year, saw mounting
public demand drive sales and pro-
duction to the highest point in Nash
history.
And March has opened up with an
added momentum sure to speed sales
far past the great February record.
