In prehistoric times, thousands of years ago, in Mesopotamia, archaeologists find, dogs were friends and protectors of men. The fidelity of the dog to his master is cited often, as showing the greater faithfulness of these animals as compared with the fidelity of men to each other. A pretty story comes from Kentucky about dog fidelity. A man had as his constant companion a dog—just a common everyday cur. They were inseparable. But the master sickened and died. The dog was inconsolable. After looking long and widely for its master, the dog was so overcome with grief that it, too, died. It was buried in the master's grave. When men become as consistently and as unselfishly faithful to each other as dogs are faithful to their masters, this will be a far better world.

A resolution to this end set forth that public school teachers are much in need of time for rest, study and original work as are instructors in institutions of higher learning. It is asserted that teachers in the public schools put in as much energy, time and mental exertion in their work as do professors in colleges and universities, therefore that they need one year of rest and change in every seven. The public school teachers are right. They do need a Sabbatical rest. "The powers that be" should give this plea earnest and favorable consideration. The conscientious, efficient work that the public school teachers give is not appreciated as it should be. It is hard, exacting, nerve-wearing work. It should have the stamp of public gratitude and appreciation. The faithful teacher deserves a Sabbatical year. It would be only just to give this rest. It would give the teacher an opportunity to study, to make research and to absorb new ideas and improved methods. The Sabbatical year for the public schools should be helpful not only to the teacher, but to the schools.

Trust no one but yourself and your steed. In the forest, tree leans on tree; in a nation, man on man. A few more proverbs of Balkan people make up today's installation (No. 14) of this series of presentations of the axioms of various races and countries: A man is happy only twice; when he marries a wife and when he buries her. Better a spoonful of honey than a shovelful of mud. It is better to begin than not to finish. Tis better to serve a good man than to give orders to a bad man. Who is not satisfied with a little will never have enough. Tis better to suffer injustice than to commit it. There is no need to pray for death. What is easily gotten is nearly lost. When money gives out, sense ensues. Misers' daughters often marry squanderers. Much brains, little money. Force is never welcome. Each person forges his own happiness. As many thoughts as heads. Children are the source of joy and of sadness. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. A Class Ad is best little salesman.

Los Angeles St. 'Anaheim' WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1924 WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS Anthony H. G. Fokker "Any man or woman who can drive an automobile can operate an airplane," says Anthony H. G. Fokker, aviation inventor and manufacturer. He says that financial timidity and lack of adequate funding facilities in America are the only things hindering the rapid development and widespread use of the plane. M. Fokker was one of the earliest aircraft makers to realize the art of airplanes could play in war. Hollander, he had begun the professional study of aviation in Berlin in 1908. During his youth in Holland he had made and played with many an airplane model of his own design. Dazes Pioneer Experts In 1911 he flew his own monoplane from the Johannisthal aerodrome, near Berlin, and the act that weather conditions were bad. The experts of the day looked on dazed. Then he outclassed all competitors at the Russian Government's military tests in Petrograd in 1912. At this time he approached the British Government with his planes, but they would not buy. The German Government then snatched their prize, the success of the Fokker-designed planes during the war is a matter of history. One of the important developments of the war was M. Kokker's invention of the synchronized gun, which enabled firing thru the space swept by the propeller area, something never before believed possible. This, of course, increased the usefulness of airplanes as weapons of warfare beyond anything hitherto imagined. M. Kokker thus transformed aircraft from mere observation and bombing units to mobile combat units limited only by their speed and radius of action. Building Planes for Government When the war ended M. Kokker transferred his activities to his COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying "AS IS"—Martha Martin Newkirk in Pasadena Star-News Going through our large stores, one often sees placards announcing bargains. "Pure silk thread hose for 99 cents," etc, but as one comes closer we find two little words attached that show the reason. Just "as is." One stocking may be quite perfect, while its mate has a "runner"—that miserable line down the leg, showing a single error, a dropped stitch. I have a friend who thinks it worth while to buy two of these pair, and make one sound one and one poor pair. She thinks that cute. Some of us would rather—oh, of course, we'd rather have all sound, perfect things. It goes without saying. We don't want "as is." We don't want to buy melons with one side bruised or not ripened. When the sirur was made on the half-baked by the expression "Ephraim is a cake not turned" we know it meant "as is." Some typical Westerners of Wild West stories seemed proud to say, "You'll have to take me as I am, I don't change for nobody." He was proud of "as is", not knowing his imperfections. The cook scorches the toast or burns the roast, and there's nothing to do but put up with it, to be as cheerful as possible over the "as is." Don't like it? Of course not. You just endure. A good deal of life is on the "as is" order. Life as we wanted to have it, life full of richness and color and sweetness, has fallen short of ideal. It is as the dropped stitch in the stocking, the scorched toast or the burnt roast. Shall we go on "as is," or make it better? Modern young people—mature young people haven't much patience with enduring anything unpleasant. No "as is" now. Begin over, go back and stand right. Make life into "as you like it." "The moving finger writes, and having writ, Moves on; nor all thy Piety or Wit Can lure it back to cancel half a line; Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it."

Fruit juices help to emulsify the fat which milk contains and therefore makes it more digestible. A very good way in which to use milk is to take it in place of a meal, drinking a glass every fifteen minutes until one quart is taken and eating along with it some of the acid fruits suggested. LEMON MILK is a kind of sour milk or substitute for buttermilk, made by adding the juice from one half to one or even two lemons to a pint of milk and shaking the lemon juice and milk together vigorously. An egg beater may be used in beating up this mixture, but the easiest way to prepare this lemon milk is to put the pint of milk in a quart bottle and then add the lemon juice (strained) in any quantity desired to suit the taste. Put the cap on the milk bottle and shake, churning it up and down to mix the milk and lemon together. This mixture tastes different than any other sour milk and is relished by almost everyone. Patients who are so weak that they cannot digest any other food will always be able to digest this lemon milk if they can eat anything at all. You may take a pint or more of this mixture for a meal, or a glass per hour, as in sweet milk diet, but it must be mixed fresh each time you use it, as the curd and whey will separate after a time if not taken when prepared. BUTTERMILK as secured from the dairyman is usually only soured skim milk and is generally taken from pasteurised milk, with the cream removed for butter. Because of its liability to have been taken from sick cows, I do not advise its use when the lemon milk or sumilk made from raw milk is so easy to obtain. (To be continued) Greetings!
