If you saw a man and his dog walk:
ing down the street, you would not be
likely to confuse one with the other,
but if you saw ‘skeletons of the two
mounted in a museum, with the man
down on all fours in the position of
the dog, you might have quite a time
of It puzzling out which Is which, de-
clares the Chappel Kennel Foundation,
Rockford, Illinois.
The strikinz similarity In the anat-
omy of man and dog Is well shown In
the accompanying illustration prepared
by the Foundation. The dog's anatom-
fecal structure is more nearly like a
< human's than that of any of the farm
~ animals. Te statement holds true
mot only of ("e skeleton formation but
also of the organization and operation
of the internal organs. In fact, what
we know today of the working of
man’s internal organs has been learned
largely as the result of experimental
work on dogs.
Proper feeding is the keynote of su
cessful dog keeping. If man may be
sald to thrive best on a mixed diet of
meat and vegetables, meat must form

Marriage Promise Just
Incident of Vacation?
A New Yorker, lifted out of his

met down there, to recover a ring. The
young lady contested the suit.
When it came up In court, the youn,
aan sald that they had enjoyed a fond
good-by on the beach, but later, when
both had returned to New York, the
girl had passed him up cold. The girl
herself admitted it, saying:
“I really didn't know whether .
should recognize him or not. Our ac-
quaintance in Florida was really very
slight.”
“But,” exposiulated the court, glanc
ing at the sparkling ring, “you prom- |
Ised to marry him, didn't you?"
“Why, yes,” admitted the girl, “bu.

Europe's “Holy Alliance”
The Holy Alliance was the name cf
a league formed by Russia, Austria
and Prussia after the fall of Napo- |
leon in 1815 for the purpose of regu-
lating the affairs of Europe “by the
principles of Christian charity,” says
an article In Pathfinder Magazine.
Notwithstanding Its professed purpose
the real policy of the Holy Alllance
was to make every endeavor possible
to stabilize existing dynasties and to
resist all change. The league endured
until 1830 and was In time joined by
all the Important and European mon-
archs except those of England and
Turkey. The Monroe Doctrine was
enunciated largely to warn the Holy
Alliance not to Interfere with the new-
ly established republics in Latin Amer-
ica.
Biblical Flowers
There are comparatively few flow |
ers named in the Bible. It is report- |
ed that as a whole the Syrian people |
were not particularly fond of flowers.
Among those named are the myrtle,

Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Esther,
Judges, Proverbs and Kings. Burning
bush (or acacia) Is mentioned in Ex.
odus, 3:4. The lily is an Arabic gen-
eral term and applies to the tulip,
ranuculus, narcissus, iris, water lily,
and particularly the anemones which
carpet the ground during the summer
season throughout Palestine.
Treasure Trove on Farm
On the land of a widow farmer of
Aarhus (Denmark) 6,000 copper and
silver coins of the days of Eric Glip-
ping (1259-1286), king of Denmark,
were found. It was In the reign of
this king that the first rigadag, or gen.
eral assembly, became an established
legislature in Denmark. The coins, as
treasure trove, were by law the prop
erty of the state, but the widow re
celved a sum of money In exchange.

Block House in Baluchistan,
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society, Washington, D. C))
URING the disturbed conditions
of the past year along the
Afghan border of India, Baluch-
istan, a short distance to the
south—another potential trouble zone
for Great Britain—has been relatively
quiet, Only on one or two occasions
were their minor disturbances in this
western frontier province.
The customs of Baluchistan are
vastly different from those of the
West, and many a strange compromise
has to be made by the British politi-
cal agents in dispensing justice among
the natives.
The British do not own Quetta,
«hough they conquered a small region
north of it. They hold it under a per-
petual lease from the khan of Kalat.
Mormerly the ferocious tribes of these
barren mountains and beyond used to
depend largely for their existence up-
on raids Into Indla, and for a time
they lived sumptuously on the spoils
of Delhi, Horde after horde of these
savage warriors established temporary
| sovereignties over the rich cities of
the central plains, only to be over-
whelmed In turn when they became
soft under the influence of luxury.
Much of the trouble among the na-
Jdves In Baluchistan concerns wives.
Girls are not of as much consequence
as boys, and their parents give the
warm coats and best food to the sons;
| so that the death rate among daugh-
| ters 18 much higher, with the result
that there are not enough wives to
go around, especially as some of he
richer men avail themselves of the
Prophet's permission and buy more
than one helpmate,
Wives, like camels, are bought at
aigh prices, and, like camels, gre often
stolen, The girl's preference is not
consuited, and as her betrothal In
many cases has taken place before
her birth, she not infrequently pre-
fers another to her husband. Woe to
her, however, If her unfaithfulness is
discovered or suspected, for It then
becomes the duty of her husband, her
son, her father, or her brother to kill
her without mercy, and to kill her
lover, too, if he can be found,
What Adam Khan Did.
Adam Khao was sizteen years old.
Jne night he was wakened and went
to the tent door, but found no one.
It happened a second time, but even
the camels were quiet. So he lay and
listened, and the third time he saw a
man whispering to his mother, Amina.
As Adam roused his father, Dost Mo-
| hammed, the lover, Nasho, escaped.
Dost Mohammed loved his wife and
shrank from killing her. Nay, he even
tried to protect her against the venge-
ance of her son, So It happened that
when Adam tried to shoot his mother
it was his father who first fell, After.
ward she, too, was slain. Then, while
It was yet dark, Adam hid In a nul-
lah (gully) near the door of her lover,
with his gun pointed and cocked.
The lover, however, had been too
¢rafty to return home, and when Adam
Khan shot the first man who came out
| of the hut, in the gray twilight, it was
| the lover's father, Karim, who fell
groaning. As he was desperately
wounded, the old man of his own ac-
cord raised his head that another
merciful bullet might end his suffer
Ing.
When day was advanced, and the
£nglish political agent had fAnished
his breakfast, Adam Kban sought him
and demanded justice,
Perhaps you would think justice
«ould begin by hanging Adam. Far
from it! That would have started a
feud which would have lasted, per-
| haps, forever, and many yet unborn
| would kill each other because the bal-
ance of justice had, in this Instance,
kicked the beam. The English politi.
cal agent, wise from long experience,
summoned the village elders and laid
the case before them.
Decision in Complicated Case.
Well versed in the customs of their
forefathers from time immemorial, the
elders easily arrived at thelr decision,
Had the case been simple, both the
unfaithful mother and her lover would
| have been slain and the case ended.
| In leu of the lover, however, the lat-
| ter's father had fallen and, so far,
| all was well.
But the boy Adam, im accomplish-
«ng the necessary killing of his moth-
er, had suffered the loss of hig father
also. For this he deserved compen-
sation. The blood recompense for
plain murder is 8,000 rupees; but, as
the case was complicated by the fact
that the man's son and heir, not his
enemy, had done, not a murder, but
a manslaughter, the helr ought not to
receive as much. Hence the elders de-
creed that the lover should pay Adam
Khan 500 rupees and besides provide
him with two girls as wives.
The English agent confirmed thi, |
Solomonlike decision; the lover paid
the rupees, gave one niece to Adam,
and promised a daughter, yet unborn, |
when she should be of marringeable
age. All was acceptable to both par-
ties and they have lived in love and
harmony, after this happy union of
their families, ever since,
Not always, however, does the ng
lish political agent comply exactly
with the judgment of the elders, In
the case of Miriam, for Instance, the
political agent found her with her nose
slashed off and bound up with a dirty
rag. He asked her who had done this |
“My husband,” said she,
So the agent sent for the husbana | Ce
Halim and asked why he had mutilat-
ed his loving wife,
“Oh, because I thought [ saw he
speaking to Sharbat Khan,” said he
“But uid she do 30?" inquired the
agent,
“Who knows?
Halim,
“Well, but I really cannot let you
cut off your wife's nose for nothing at
all,” said the political agent. “You
must go to Jail for one year.”
Halim Preferred the Jail.
The elders came to the agent ana
remonstrated against such severity.
“Perhaps it would not have been
amiss,” said they, “to put Halim in
Jail for three months. Yet a man's
wife is his own. She is bought with
a great price. Why should he not cut
off her nose if he pleases? It is, after
all, his own loss. Surely, Sahib, you
will let Hallm out of jail.” “Tomor-
row,” sald the agent, “I will give my
decision.” .
The next day he pronounced this
Judgment: “I will release Halim on
either of two conditions, Either he
must restore his wife's nose safe and
sound or he must cut off his own nose
{
Perhaps not,” sai.
in exactly the same fashion as hers.” | victor
The elders were amused greatly by
this alternative. They withdrew their | Hi Be ee
protest, Halim served his term In Jail, decision pl ms voters of
and was released without retaining | Tihsdas. Sepiembor a
rancor against so just a sentence,
In another instance the Mohamme
dan Mahmud, instead of contenting
himself with the girl chosen by his
mother and sisters to be his wife and
first to be seen by him after the mar-
riage ceremony, found for himself a
pretty Hindu girl and persuaded her
to be his bride. But he could not
make up his mind to marry her un-
less she should first profess hir re-
ligion,
So Mahmud consulted the mullah of
his village as to how she might be-
come Mussulmani. The mullah made
no difficulty of it. All that was neces
sary, so he said, was that the lovely
Hindu girl should say before him:
“There Is no God but God, and Mo-
hammed {8 the prophet of God.”
“But stay,” added the priest. “You
must pay for your bride, of course.
As it would be sinful to give a great
sum for her to the worthless Hindu,
her father, you may give it to me, my
son.”
The young man easily perceived ths
reasonableness of the first part of the
priest's proposal, but he could not by
no means see why his wife's dowry
should be given to the priest. In his
perplexity he consulted the chiefs of
the wazirs,
“The priest,” sald they, “is quit. |
right In telling you not to give the
dowry to the Hindus; but it should
come to us, not to him. We are the
authorities.”
Billiard Table Instead of Feud.
But before this was done the elders
of the mahsuds heard of the transac-
tion. While approving, like the wa-
zirs, the withholding of the money
from the Hindus, they let it be known
that, being the superiors of the wa-
zirs, the elders of the mahsuds were
the proper recipients in this Instance.
All parties appealed the question to
the British political agent. After ma-
ture consideration he readily foresaw |
that either of the dispositions pro-
posed would most probably lead to a |
feud. Hence, In the Interest of peace
and as representing the real topnotch |
superior power of the whole region, he |
very reasonably decided that the dow- |
ry should be paid over to him,
As there was no appeal possible,
this was readily complied with, and
the political agent, not knowing a bet-
ter disposition, made it over to the
club as a contribution for the new bil.
liard table!
HUTCHINS BLAMES WORLD'S
In Baluchistan
PLIGHT ON SCHOOL SYSTEM
The present economic situation was
blamed today on an educational sys-
tem that teaches facts but not how
to use them by Dr. Robert Maynard
Hutchins, president of the University
of Chicago, in a commencement ad-
dress at Berea College.
Dr. William J, Hutchins, president
of Berea, conferred an honorary de-
gree of doctor of law on young Hut-
chins, and was thus the first college
president to confer an honorary de-
gree on his son, a college president.
Young Hutchins said:
“Ine world we have created is too
much for us. ..e cannot tell who is
responsible for anything. The ma- |
chinery we have invented produces
results that we did not foresee and
cannot avoid. The industrial organi-
zation that has developed carries us
along, we do not know why. That we
have been unable to manage the
structure we have erected is a re.
flection on the educational system
we have developed.”
Hutchins said the world needs
more understanding rather than
knowledge and an educational 8ys-
tem which places a premium on in-
dependent thinking. He added:
“People are dying in equal misery
in China and Chicago. Millions of
men and women are hungry, home-
less and ill-clad. The same streets
they roam, mournful and disconso-
late, are filled with the things they
