But that’s in Russia. Ten days ago most of us felt that we never wanted to see another January thaw and now we would shout if the temperature skyrocketed up to 50 degrees. County assessor Hoeltje of Allen county has dropped his fight and will serve his sentence at the state prison for conviction on a charge of bribery. A poor ending of a political career. The storm, death of King George, the soldier bonus and a few other big items of news have taken the place of the Hauptman ease. We soon forget what a few days before seemed the “hottest'' of news stories. The Centennial will be a great success only if everybody joins in the spirit and helps make it worth while, Monday evening a meeting of representatives from lodges, churches, clubs, sororities and oth , er organizations will be held and ' those who want to help will be on and.

EIGHT MURDERS SOLVED BY 00G BERLIN (U.R) - What is said to be the best detective-dog in the world belongs to the dog section of the bei’iin police. This smart four-logged detective. named Schimmel, has solved eight murder cases as well us numerous robberle t, holdups and other crimes, j The so-called “wonderdog” is S years old and has been a member of the Berlin police force since 11925. I In a recent case the dog gave ii'.’iother proof of his ability and smartness when eight other dogs from liis section had failed. it found the body of a murdered boy concealed about half a meter under ground in a thickly wooded forest. The child was a victim of the boy killer. Seefeld. Refuses To Be Misled I This little “detective" proved his cleverness to SO jurists, among whom were both foreign and German judges and attorney!. The jurists walked over «t field to destroy a,nd stamp out all trace of scent on the dog's trail. But it I took Schimmel less than three minutes to find the scent, take the , lead again, and find the hidden. olject. This dog receives the same food as all its fellow j, except that after each gallant pe-formance it receives a bag full of Pfefferkuchen. its fa.vorite delicacy. Schimmel's trainer is Paul Boettger, the chief of the dogdetective section. Boettger is the oldest police-dog trainer in the world. Deg Entirely White The dog is entirely white, a rare ; cclor for German shepheds. which are usually brown, black, or pot,'.ed black and white. This peculiarity explains its name Schimmel, which in German means “white horse.” ( The idea of using dogs for detective work originated with Herr Leufer, a former attorney In 1901, when the town of Schwelm. Westphalia, did not have enough money to employ sufficient police j officers, every policeman on duty was ordered to take a shepherd dog with him an protector. A year later Capt. von Stepha- | nitz, spread the idea of using dogs ■ in the police force as scouts, track-1 ! ers, etc. Ever since then, the GerI man shepherd dog has been known I all over the civilized world. The [ * best known German shepherd dog ! was the late Rin-Tin-Tin. the famous movie star. o ■ ■ BOOK NOTES” By Ruth Winnes "I WRITE AS I PLEASE" by Walter Duranty Tin book “I write as I please” is part history, psrt I part autobiography, all adventure I —both in action and in ideas.

It is not simply a condemnation of the deleterious food fads that have been carefully inculcated in 'our minds by misleading advertis ing. It goes beyond an indictment |of the food science of experts who i are hired to haved particular and profitable views In ia“-r of the'different foods It does more than ! explain how the normal balance I 'in our diet which we used to obtain from natural foods was destroyed by th" high-pressure pro-' motion of factory products overrefined. demineralized, .devitaminized beyond all acceptability to our ■ stomachs.
