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

There are today more than two

Five years from now the public
will shop for oil burners. They
will judge them on performance

is as much difference between
oil burners as there is between
cash registers or adding ma

oil burner can give an efficient
heating service and which cannot.
Meanwhile remember this: Nokol

today more than 20,000 Nokols in

years, Nokol has become a nation

with gas, running water and electric

Cut This Out and Place In Your Basement Near Furnace
INSTRUCTIONS
apply only to the burning of
Radiant Smokeless Coal
If you will read thia carefully and give RADIANT SMOKELESS COAL chance to do its best,
yoti will save plenty of money to repay you, and heat your home with less annoyance than you have I
believed possible. , I
This coal should require attention only once or twice a day. 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. RADIANT is free furpose and persistent rebuming of 3
and substitutes will not produce the desired results. §
