I——-—— Just About Dogs! / By o. o. McIntyre. New York has become a city of dog owner*. There are 1(1,000 morn owner* thl* year than last. And there are more than 400 dog shops and kennels In the metropolitan area. Aside from the companionship that is offered by owning a dog, the cliff dweller has learned of his value in protecting the home from sneuk thieves and housebreakers. The police say the apartment* and homes of dog owners are less likely to be entered by marauders. In fact, beries not one of the victims owned a dog. The most expensive dog in New York is owned by a wealthy steel man. It is a white Russian wolf hound and cost $12,000. There are several Pekes and Poms purchased f^r from $3,000 to $5,000. The price of dogs ha* Jumped amazingly In the past few years. Ten years ago it was possible to buy a a good pedigreed dog for $50. Now' there are very few class dogs that do not bring at least $200. One of the biggest collection of dogs is owned by Albert Payson Ter hune, the writer. He has kennels at Pompton Lakes, N. J., where he raises collies. In the past year one of the most popular dogs in New York—especial ly In the suburbs—Is the white collie, out of a record of 210 successive rob Out in the little town of Wauseon, O., a celebrated dog lover by the name of F. AV. Avery has been working patiently for yearg. to produce the collie with pure white coat that would have all the rough and ready usefulness and lovable traits of the ordinary collie. By judicious breeding experiments he has Achieved this. The white collie hns now become a show dog and Is taking many prizes. He Is also be coming an aristrocrat of dogdom, for all the debutantes are strolling down the avenue with a white collie on a leash. There are only two pug dogs in New York. Thirty years ago the pug was the most popular of all in the city. Society folk were always car tooned In the humorous papers carry ing a pug. No one seems to know exactly why the pug has become extinct. He seems to have passed out with the bustle. The most traveled dog In New York Is owned by the traveling rep resentatlve of a steamship line This dog Is a Boston and has been in every state in the union. He Is 9 years old and In that time has also visited England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Cuba, Bermuda, Canada, Honolulu, Japan. China and India. Wherever the master has gone the dog has been with him. Once In ilong Kong the master was going through a narrow, awarmlng atreet. Suddenly he missed the dog. He gave the familiar whistle but the pet had vanished. For two weeks he scoured the neighborhood, offering huge rewards but to no s vail. Almost prostrated by the loss he finally decided to give the dog up as lost and travel on. The morning of his departure thers was a scratch at Ida hotel door. He opened It and in hounded the lost. animal. No explanation of hi* disap pearance has ever been made. 'The master presumes that while his back was turned nomcone picked up the dog and made way with him, and with that uncanny Instinct dogs often have the animal returned. From that time on the dog has never been off a leash in strange places. New York looka out for It* dogs more than perhaps any other city. There are no dog catchers here. If a dog is not licensed the owner may get a summons to court and be forc ed to pay a dollar fine. While muzzles and ieaahe* are re qulred for all dogs, the police are not vigilant except during what is termed the dog days. If the dog is leashed and Is not extra large or fero cious the strict letter of the law is not observed. The Bide a-Wee home Is a chari table Institution for dogs. If a dog is found ill or Injured, a policeman calls the Bide a-Wee an<t an ambu lance Is *ent for It. The dog is taken in the fine brick home over near the 11.1 st river. Stray dogs are also taken there, and sometimes they have as many as 300, They are cared for by genuine dog lovers, A person may buy a dog for a dollar there. The only require ment Is a pledge to take good care of I t he animal. There Is also an endowed dog and eat hospital on Lafayette street. Here In a five-story building occupying the greater part of a block trained corps of veterinarians are on hand to min ister to the slok canines. A famous dog on Broadway Is call ed Bum. He Is a mongrel tramp dog who seems especially attached to theatrical folk. He has more than a dozen masters who are fond of him. lie goes about unmuzzled and unleash ed and at times he stands with traf fic police on their posts. Bum was once a trick show dog and his master died In a theatrical boarding house. He then became a wanderer. Another well known dog In the theatrical district Is owned by Old Paddy, a stage doorman. This dog, like his master, Is partially blind and they are Inseparable. Every night he alts on a box along side the chair of his master. A few years ago the smartest hotels In New York agreed to l*n dogs. But they found they were Ins Ing patronage. And so one by one they relaxed In the order. Now In the most exclusive hotel* small well trained dogs are permitted In rooms and In elevators. The large hotels have kennele on the roof and In the basement with attendants and a charge of ft a day Is made for the dog's keep. Every night on Fifth avenue there is the Incongruity of a coach dog try ing to adjust himself to a motor age. The master rides on the rear plat form of an avenue bus from Fifty ninth street to Washington Square and the dog follows along on the pavement. Of course, It Isn’t so much fun ns trotting along under the car riage, but It provides exercise. Hog shops are grouping In ono section of the town In the Kiflles off Fifth avenue. One of the best known shops Is railed Bill s. Bill Is a true dog (over and he will not sell a dog unless he Is ensured It will have a good home, lie makes a personal Inspection of the home to which tha dog Is to be taken before completing the sale. He has an Independent Income and selling dogs Is more of a hobby than a commercial pursuit. (Copyright. 1S^I > REVOLUTION ERA PAST, SAYS BRITON I-ondon, Oct.

They will judge them on performance not claims. They will know there is as much difference between oil burners as there is between cash registers or adding ma chines. They will know which oil burner can give an efficient heating service and which cannot. Meanwhile remember this: Nokol has stood the test of time. There are today more than 20,000 Nokols in stalled in the United States. In six years, Nokol has become a nation wide institution and taken its place with gas, running water and electric lighting as the fourth great household service. And Nokol furnishes the ! most economical heating service known. Its fuel cost is less than that of hard coal. It is, to the best of our knowledge, less than that of any other oil burner—in many cases the sat ing is as much as 40%. Live in comfort this Fall and Winter.

Build up a large fire and keep it | more or less banked all the time with fine coal. You will find that both the coarse and fine coal § ! will coke into one large mass without clinker. THE IDEAL SIZE OF RADIANT SMOKELESS f COAL SHOULD CONTAIN ABOUT 50% FINE COAL. THIS SIZE COSTS LESS PER TON, | HOLDS FIRE BETTER, AND IS EASIER TO HANDLE. 1 WET THE COAL before putting into the furnace and follow the steps outlined belowi j FIRST—Open direct draft and close check draft or opening in furnace flue. J SECOND—Shake grates until live coals begin to show in ashpit. DON’T { SHAKE GRATES TOO MUCH. Keep fire clean, but don’t waste un- 8 burned coal and coke. 1 THIRD—Clean ashpit. Wet ashes before removing, and they will come out j as clean and coarse as sand. DON’T allow ashes to accumulate in ashpit j They interfere with draft and may warp grates. | FOURTH—Break up mass of coke in fire box and spread evenly over entire * surface of grates. Let fire bum freely for a short time, then add good sup- J ply of fresh RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL on one side of fire box, leav- j ing small part of fire open to avoid smothering fire. I DON’T allow the fire to bum too low before replenishing with fresh i RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL. A large mass of coal will burn more J slowly than a thin fire, and requires much less attention. 1 DON’T put RADIANT SMOKELESS fine coal on a fire small enough to I let it run through the grates into the ashpit before it has had a chance to f coke. Keep a good big mass of RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL in the I j furnace and put all the fresh coal on top. The coal underneath will have J ! coked and will prevent the fine coal running through the grates. The fresh ! RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL will then coke as soon as it gets warm. 1 But be sure to always leave a space of open fire at one side so the fire will 1 not smother and go out. I DON’T put garbage and refuse in your furnace. ti DON’T bank your fire with ashes. The RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL I I is exactly what you want for this purpose and pedsistent rebuming of | ashes may eventually form a clinker. j DON’T accept a substitute for genuine UPDIKE RADIANT SMOKE- I LESS COAL.
