This really de! things. The Humane Societ iS you know, gets $100 a month. Well, this month their payment of $600 for a six-month period, exceeds $500, so it was ne ‘y Janice White to appear before the special meeting of City Commis- sion yesterday and ask for $400 now and $300 to be paid at the d of January.

Well, as the world knows, there is a N race which is composed of England, Sweden, Norway, Ger- many, Finland. Then there is the Mediterranean race composed ef Spain, France, ly, Morocco, Srabia, Turkey, Greece. These are the principal races which America is welded. sonally, I’am darn ~ glad America is composed of such be- cause there is a lot of good to each and a lot of bad to each. But ip this question of drinking, it does seem that the Mediterranean races have it over the Nordic rac- es. Perhaps original climatic conditions of cold weather in northern Europe and warm wea- ther along the deserts and Medi- terranean make for the differ- ence in drinking. e .
