Doctors Operate
On Girl's Puppy;
Bill Is Torn Up
NEW YORK, July 13 W Little
Lucy Orauv, Just 11. walked into the
hospital for the ruptured and crip
pled carrying in her arms a little
white puppy-dog.
"This Is Trlxie," she told Dr. Ed
ward Barnett, "and her leg Is broken,
and the dog-doctor said he would
havo to kill her; but I don't want
him to kill her because she Is the
nicest dog in the world, and so1 I
brought her to your hospital."
Dr. Barnett called in three other
doctors. This was no simple case.
; It called for consultation. X-rays
j were made. The doctors pondered. Fi
' nolly they laid Trixle on the operat
. lng table, put her to sleep with a
. hypodermic, carefully reduced the
j fracture and put the leg in a cast.
Lucy Oraux. beaming, and with a
frightened but convalescing Trixie in
i her arms, looked up at the four -doctors.
J "Thank you very much," she said,
f I was very sorry to bother you, but
; Trixie Just couldn't die. because she
! Is the nicest dog in the world."
The doctors bowed.
"You are entirely welcome," they
smiled.
The hospital cashier cast a startled
look at the doctors, shrugged his
shoulders and tore up the bill.

NEW YORK, July 13 W The All
American Cable company announced
today it had been notified by the
Brazilian government that com
munication to and from all points
In the state of Sao Paulo, center of
the Brazilian revolt had been sus
pended. Telegrams from all other parts of

PETITION HOAX
NOT YET SOLVED
RUSSIA SOWS LESS
MOSCOW, U. 6. 8. R., July 13 W
Soviet Russia has wound up the
spring sowing campaign with nearly
one million acres less than last year
under cultivation. The total Is nearly
15,000,000 acres below the program.
Official figures place the total area
sown on July 1 at 241,000,500 acres as
compared with 243,560,000 last year
and 255,876,000 planned. Failure to
(come up to expectations, was attrlb-
uivu mrgeiy u tne poor snowing oi

year caused great loss of crops and
seed.
(Continued from Page One)
the affair was staged. Slocum held
another conierence Tuesday with po
lice but professed Inability to name
any of the perpetrators of the imag
inary hold-up.
The unexplained absence of E. L.
Octz, Corvallis business man, and
backer of the consolidation move,
continued to surprise investigators.
They said he had promised to appear
Monday morning for further ques
tioning, but that he failed to do so.
Nor did he qppear Tuesday, It was
said. Cletz was quoted as having said
ho drove to Portland the night 9t
tho pre-arranged holdup after having
heard an attempt was to be made to
steal tho petitions. He established
himself at a strategic point com
manding a view of the building in
which the Consolidation offices were
located, it was said, but saw nothing
to arouse suspicion. He is quoted
as having said he learned of the
robbery tho next morning.
Lotus Langley, district attorney,
said "My office and the police will
keep on this case until it is solved.
Wo know one of the men Involved
by Tollman. but we do not know the
others. That Is the Important move
right now and all our present efforts
havo this as the objective."
WHEAT A HIT BULLISH
CHICAGO, July 13 W) With spring
wheat growth now entering a critical
stage, prospects of a northwest hot
wave likely to affect the crop ad
versely tended to give some stimulus
to buyers today. Reports were that
some unexplained heavy buying at
Winnipeg might be linked with the
economic conference to be held short
ly in Ottawa.
Considerable skepticism was c
presaed over the new official esti
mate of domestic winter wheat pro
duction. There ,were assertions that
the government forecast was at least
20,000000 bushels too high.
World's Fertility
Scientists estimate that 40 per
cent of the land area of the earth
Is desert, 30 per cent Is eultlvat
able, and 30 per cent poor grazing
land, mnrsh, forest, waste and high
mountains. There Is no agreement
as to the exact portion that Is Inhabitable.
Always "Present"
At Capitol
Not a roll -cn 11 has Congressman
Robert A. Green (above) o Flor
ida missed since he took office on
March 4, 1Q25 which Is a Capitol
record. Maybe that's one of the
reasons why he alone of all Flor
ida's representatives was renom
inated In the state's primaries
this year.
Surprising Scene
W0it0 Jill
Maybe It was the camera that
startled Queen Mary. Or perhaps
arte caught sight of particu
larly beautiful display of flowers.
Anyhow, the photographer por
trayed her in this attitude of
surprlso as she attended the Na
tional Rose Society's Show In
London, England.
Standard Pistol
The Luger automatic pistol Is one
of the standard pistols of the world

Peaceful Crook Refuge
Liechtenstein, the little country
of 10,000 people, which lies between
Switzerland and Austria, has today
no crime, courts or prisons, yet It
contains, paradoxically a largo col
ony of crooks who have "cleaned
up" In other countries and retired
there to live under the protection
of the simple naturalization laws.

Earliest "Gold Standard"
When Philip of Mneedon stnrted
a great gold currency, It was then
that sulllcicnt fluid capital could fee
Melded to attack rersln. Tho union
of that great kingdom, the mightiest
known In the world till then, from
the Balkans to Lahore rested upon
a vast gold basis, the central store
being 200 tons of gold, worth $150,
000,000. No Royal Road
Moving along tho line of least re
sistance Is not the royul road to
anything worth while. Insight,
grasp and self-mastery come rather
by doing liurd Jobs. Rolling down
hill on green gruss does not develop
robust, enduring, effective manhood
as does climbing the Alps over
loose rock and rugged snow-fields.
