MASCOT ETIQUETTE BROKEN BY
CORPORAL'S LOW-DOWN DACHSHUND
Dog Built Close to Ground Runs Right Up to Colonel's
Spaniel Without Wagging Tail Horned
Toads Horrified
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
Evening Ltdoer Bluff Correspondent
DL PASO, Tex., Aug. 2. A question of
military etiquette has sprung up nmong
tho army of mascots that accompany tho
various units hro on tho border. It Is a
dellcato quostlon, Involving points not con
tained In any army regulations.
Now, anybody who has been with thl3
army for a month or so knows that captain
must saluto a major, a major a colonel
and a colonel a gcnernl. But what if a
captain's mnscot meets n mascot belonging
to an omcor of higher rank? This has hap
pened. That is how tho question camo to
be raised.
"Mexico," the mnscot spaniel of tho First
Brlgado, who was presented to Gonoral
Prlco by ono Sergeant Aloxander, U. S. A.,
when tho gonoral moved his headquarters
from next door to tho sergeant's homo down
nt Camp Pershing, wan Bunnlng himself In
front of brlgndo hcadqunrters at Camp
Stewart ono day when "Whisky," the mas
cot of Company B, Scaond Regiment, passed
nt tho heels of his in istor, Corporal Schurr.
Tho corporal Baluted and General Prlco ro
turned tho salute. "Whisky," being nothing
but a near dachshund, had no respect for
tho high position held by "Mexico." And
"Mexico," being a very, very young brlndlo
bulldog, 7 weeks old, had no knowledge of
the respect to which ho was entitled. Tho
unsophisticated puppy ran out to meet
"Whisky," wagging his tnll cordially. The
least "Whisky" could have done to relievo
tho embarrassing situation would have been
to return tho grcotlng. But ho didn't He

many an older-dog regards a puppy. It was
a distinct snub, witnessed by many odlcers
of high rank. It set tongues nwagglng.
And unless some sort of code sets tails

likely to be gravo complications among tho
mascots.

When public demand swings toward one
- tire strongly to the tune of millions, and
increases steadily for five years, you can put
all confidence in the character of that tire.
In 1911 Firestone Tire sales were $7,462,
581.17. In 1915 they were $25,187,884.33.
This is an increase of 257 Up to June 1,
1916, Firestone Tire sales show an in
crease of 38over 1915.
Such growth is a true indication of tho
Pulse of the Public. No demand could
attain such splendid proportions in so
short a time unless the tires themselves
had given the Most Miles per Dollar.

The medical odlcers with the Pennsyl

to tho blto of tho pedlcului vestlmcntl, or
body louse, which has become contaminated
with the disease. Tho dlscase-hidon louse,

possible means of communicating tho

weeks, ni a rulo, reaching Us liolght at tho
end of eight or nine days It Is character
ized by spots on the body, high fever, ex
tremely rapid pulsation, great prostration
and delirium.
Tour out of every five cases In the county
hospital uro cured, tho medical odlcers
wcro told. Tho treatment begins with a
thorough eonklng of the body by n sheet
that has been Immersed In a colutlon of

treatment of fever begins.
Typhus Is unknown among El Panonans.

It Isn't often that a soldier needs nn order
