BILLY WHISKERS
BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY
Billy had just discovered his master lying on the battlefield with his leg bent under him.
He ran his long horns under his master as gently as he could and carefully turned him over on his face so he could straighten out his leg. When it was straight, he as quickly and carefully turned him over on his back, so he could recover his strength and rest more comfortably.
"Thank you, old fellow. You certainly have more sense than nine-fenths of the human beings I have met."
"Oh, if I only had a first-aid kit strapped around my neck like the dogs have!" thought Billy. That gave him an idea, and before his master knew what he was up to, Billy started on a fast run off the battlefield.
Perhaps you, my little readers, may wonder what made him start off in such a hurry. I will tell you. It had flashed through his mind that somewhere on the field of battle he could find several police dogs belonging to the Red Cross with their aid kits, and he had gone to find one and bring it to help his master.
While running in the darkness, keeping a sharp lookout for dogs trained nurses and stretcher bearers, he saw some queer looking object coming toward him. It was moving slowly, but it seemed to him to have no shape, as he could ace neither head nor legs. Still it came slowly toward him. Just a black, moving mass. It was enough to frighten one, but Billy, being a brave goat, and one with much curiosity, stood still to watch its approach. All of a sudden half of it dropped to the ground, and then Billy saw that it was a police dog carry a man in his mouth. The dog had the man by the clothes on his chest, and was carrying him with his head hanging down one side of his mouth and his legs on the other. That is why Billy could not see any head or shape, for the dog holding the body in his mouth, nothing of the dog's head could be seen—only his two short ears sticking up.
"You certainly gave me a start," said Billy to the dog, "for I thought I was seeing some new kind of animal without head or legs coming toward me."
"Why, if it isn't Billy, the mascot!" exclaimed the dog.
"And you, Duke!" exclaimed Billy in turn. "You are just the one dog of all others I should like to meet at this time. Do come with me for a minute and give my master some stimulants out of your canteen and then you may come back to your man if you want to, though sad as it may seem, I don't believe he is going to need you any more. I think his spirit has taken its flight. Who was he?"
"I don't know—just one of the wounded I saw trying to crawl along. And as I have unusually strong jaws, neck and back, I was helping him along. Few dogs can carry the heavy weight in their mouths that I can."
When they both made sure that the man was dead, they scampered back to Billy's master.
(We shall have to wait till tomorrow to find out how Billy's master was when they reached him.)
DENTAL HYGIENE SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23—Legislation authorizing every county in California to establish dental hygiene in the schools will be initiated at the annual convention of the California State Dental Association, to be held in San Francisco May 26 to May 29.
A bill will be introduced in the next legislature providing for establishment by county boards of supervisors of this service with trained dentists to care for the mouths of all school children. The measure is being drawn up by Dr. Harry Leppo of Santa Rosa, president of the association, and Dr. Guy S. Hillberry of San Francisco, dean of the state university, aided by many prominent dentists.
It also is planned to introduce legislation to re-establish the Division of Dental Hygiene as a part of the State Board of Health with an appropriation of $15,000 for the biennium. The division was abolished by Governor Richardson.

A Little Talk on Thrift
By S. W. STRAUS, President
American Society for Thrift.
In many lines of trade and industry throughout the country there is a distinct slowing up at the present time. The wheels of business are turning less rapidly. However, this situation is not one calling for a pessimistic attitude, but it does change our caution and conservatism, which are always safe policies. Plans for the future should be laid along careful lines, and above everything else, there should be the elimination of all possible waste.
As a reassuring element, it should be borne in mind that the building industry, while showing unmissable tendencies toward more restricted production in the immediate future, gives every evidence of proceeding in substantial volume. This is the key industry of the situation. No other line of business has as many ramifications, so that when building conditions are active and sound it may reasonably be assumed that general business will not be subjected to great hardship.
There is every indication that the coming summer and fall will witness a larger amount of building throughout the United States than was produced in 1922, and it may not fall greatly short of last year which was the banner period for the industry. Actual construction work now in operation is large, and building permits in the leading cities and towns of the nation were in larger volume during the first four months of 1924 than they were during the same period last year.
Therefore, even though the curve of activity is beginning to descend, an attitude of general confidence should prevail.
Thrift is always advantageous and advisable, but at periods when business in general is proceeding along more cautious lines, it is an especially good time to practice greater efficiency whenever possible. Widespread appreciation of the value of eliminating waste will put the entire nation on a more substantial footing.
