A man was going down Dth street with
a bulldog at his heels. Both were white.
At tbe 1> sfeet corner a brindle dog
flashed out of a doorway and landed on
the bulldog's neck. Then things hap
pened.
The owner of the bull kicked the brirr
dle. A man who had stopped to look on
kicked the brindle again.
Another man. with a sense of fair play,
kicked the hull, and got cussed by the
bull's master.
Th.- dn^s clinched and hung on to each
other.
A man came out of a store and poured
a pitcher of cold water on the proceed
ngs. and in that one surprised instant of
-hock the d<>Ks relaxed their teeth long
enough to shiver. The owner of the buH
it lized the advantage and grabbed his
dog by the collar with a jerk that yanked
hiin in the air.
The brindle sprang lip and dragged the
bull down. The bull landed oil the brin
proceedlng*.
die's back. And both took a chew.
It promised to b. a light to a finish, if
only the cold-water man would leave off.
but he wouldn't. He went into the store
to refill the pitcher, and while he was
about it the dogs rolled, and growled, and
chewed and chewed. And the bricks
showed a trickle of red.
It was an entirely r easing performance
to the crowd that had swarmed into a
human ring a dozen deep, and everybody
looked r.appv except the owner of the
bulldog. The trickle came from the bull.
A biggish dotr, sleek and nonchalant,
materialized from somewhere and took a
look at the fight between a man's less.
It was too good a chance to miss so
the man kicked the dog before he realised
the size of him. Then he chuckled
apologetically and sidled off until he had
put a -i lartet of legs between the two.
The biggish dog could have settled^ the
man's business for him with one snap of
his jaws, but probably refrained for the
reason that he didn't want to soil his
t< eth with the sort of person who would
k'ek a dog which was behaving himself
lik>* a gentleman.
So lie just moved between another
pair of legs long enough to find out for
himself that it wasn't a pretty sight to
see two rrood, decent docs chewing each
other up for the benefit of a street crowd.
Then h?- -vent off.
Whirl shows the difference between
dogs an'' men?some men.

A Jiassing band was tooting ragtime
Cars whizzed by in green and yellow
streaks. Automobiles buzzed like gone
mad tops, and a lame tiddler on the cor
ner across was rasping out "Home,
Sweet Home."
As the band turned Into the Avenue at
ir.th street a young man who had been
riding in a buggy got out. still holding
the reins, and laid a reassuring hand on
the neck of his obviously scared-to-death
horse.
The horse was a beautiful young bay,
with a coat as smooth and sleek as a
chestnut. But he must hnve come from
some place of country roads and quiet
woods and meadows, for he tossed his
head, switched his tail, strained at hiH
bit. and kicked so spasmodically from be
hind that it was plain to see that only
his master's restraining influence pre
vented the animal from bolting.
There was nothing unusual in the sight.
<>f course, except that it gave a brilliant
idea to a boy?a live bone of a boy, with
a face freckled like a turkey egg?who
was smoking a cigarette, near by, in
i ompany with another young gentleman
of the same age, appearance and occupa
tion.
'Say. Cubby, want to see me send that
horso kitin* down the Avenoo like the
pbece w?? after him?"
?'ubby didn't believe the horse could
get a move on him like that, because his
front leg was ?vrapi>ed up in a bandage.
The turkey-egg boy knew a whole heap
better:
"Watcher talkin' about! Swell horses
wears dem ru?s for style. Jes' keep your
eye on me while I tech him off wid de
euiaroot. Vou watoh me.
The turkey-egg boy sprinted off with
bis brilliant idea, but before he could
touch the flunk of the horse with his
u;ht the cubby boy had overtaken him
with a brilliant idea of his own.
"Say, gimme your paper route, won't
vou? Bffn you tech dat horse on his
kickin' leg you won't want it no more."
The turkey-egg boy was apparently un
willing to part with his paper route, for
the two sprinted off to fresh interests.
And the young man and his shiny bay
will never know what they missed.

Two women were walking together on
the shady side of a street. They must
have been comrades tried out by the test
Wv
I
rr-m
ricked up ? mulch.
?.f everyday friendship, for thev con
fabbed v. itii a zest that only boon com
panions may know.
As they slowed up to make the most of
fin* ffreen coolness of an overspreading
elm. the one who wore mourning stooped,
picked up a match, struck it against the
bricks and blew out the blase.
"Poor Sophie came to her death by
treading on a match lying on the street
like that."
She said it with a personal concern
that implied that Sophie was a dear
friend, who had lived around the corner
and who had been buried within the
week. Naturally the other woman was
personally interested:
"Sophie who? I don't know any
Sophie."
Why. yes you do. Don't you remember]
j the Grand Duchess of Austria, who was
j burned to death by treading on a match?
I forget the exact date, but some tim? In j
the hoopskii t sixties. A match is a dan-1
gerous thing to have lying around.
"Well, you certainly are one re
freshing woman, Sallie Blank! Nobody
but you would have given a thought to
that match or to your grand duchess:
j Never mind, honey, there s going to be
a beautiful day for you?sometime?some

The Sallie woman broke into the proph
ecy with a chuckle that evidenced
i contentment with her black serge and
entire satisfaction with her two perfectly
good legs. Then they turned a corner.
To walk the entire length of i-?ifayette
j Park behind two women md to overhear
j no criticisms of anybody, no hints of
i scandals, no complaints, no talk of dress.
I servants, society or man may not be an
exciting experience, of course, but to
have one of theni give a thought to tlie
saving of some possible sufferer because
of one who went before, over a half cen
tury ago. was unusual enough to help
ratify that wise old pronouncement that
"it takes all sorts of people to make up
a world."
SPREAD OF PELLAGRA
INTO NEW TERRITORY
Public Health Service Reports
Show a Continued High
Death Rate.
Pellagra, for which physicians have
found no cure, is spreading beyond the
zone to which it has previously been
confined and is invading new territory,
according to the belief of the United
States public health service, based upon
statistics just made public on the preva
lence of the disease in Arkansas, Okla
homa and Texas from 1907 to 1012.
Reports from these three states, bor
dering on the area in which pellagra
has most extensively existed in this
country, show, says Surgeon C. H. Lav
ander, the prevalence of the disease
"to no inconsiderable degree."
Invading New Territory.
"This suggests rather strongly," he
adds, "that pellagra is increasing the
area in which it is present and invading
new territory. Further inquiry is need- (
ed to determine this jvith any degree [
of accuracy." The figures indicated an
Increase in the disease during 1012.
Total number of cases in Oklahoma ,
during the six, years was 472, with a '
death rate per 100 cases of SiJtt; in
Texas, 2.?>23 cases, death rate, 4C.U1. and \
in Arnansas, 045, death rate, 41.90. The
figures for Arkansas for 1012 were in
complete.
Public Hospital Urged.
The report, which supplemented a pre
vious pellagra report giving statistics
for other states, is of peculiar interest
at this time in connection with the bill '?
of Representative Johnson of South
Carolina for a large appropriation for i
the erection of a hospital at Spartan- :
burg. S. C., for the study of pellagra.
The public health service has been urged
to give its support to the bill.
MANN'S FIGHT TO GIVE
KAHN CHANCE TO SPEAK
f
Democrats Worn Out by Fili
buster to Gain Airing for
Caminetti Case.
Tired with the interminable parlia
mentary bushfighting by Representative
Mann of Illinois, leader of the repub
licans In the House of Representatives,
the democrats have about decided to
allow Representative Kahn to make his
long-expected speech, which is supposed
to contain criticisms of the administra
tion in relation to the Diggs-Caminetti
white slave cases in California. Mr.
Kahn may get the opportunity early this
week.
Democrats realize that he is getting
more and more information regarding the
Attorney General and his communica
tions with former United States Attorney
McNab. who resigned when told not to
push the cases, and if the speech is put
off much longer there is every chance
that the information on the subject will
be doubled.
May Teach a Lesson.
The refusal of the democrats, owing
to Representative Byrnes' objections to
allow Mr. Kahn to speak on the Diggs
Caminetti cases, has resulted in a brain
tiring. bone-wearying filibuster, con
ducted by the indefatigable Representa
tive Mann which will teach many a
member a lesson. Many long hours have
been spent answering roll calls for the
trivial purpose of approving a journal.
Als<>, Mr. Mann has made the House re
ass n-ble every day. in the heat, with
base ball games going on and all sorts
of summer pleasures to be pursued, re
gardless of the fact that the House had
little important business before it. Mr.
Mann receives none of the burden of
blame, but Representative Byrnes of
Tennessee, who objected to Mr. Kahn's
speaking, received much of It. How
ever, it was understood last night that
Mr. Byrnes had subsided.
Asks for Telegram.
Meantime the House judiciary commit
tee, under Representative Clayton, chair
man. has before It Representative Kahn's
latest resolution asking for a telegram
which the Attorney General is supposed
to have sent to McNab a month before |
the case became public. That resolu
tion will be considered by the committee
tomorrow. It is supposed. Republicans
believe that Mr. Kahn has stolen an
other march on the democrats, becaifhe j
If there Is stich a telegram the Judiciary
committee will learn about it, proving j
that all the papers in the case were not
sent to the House under the previous
resolution. Whether or not, therefore,
the committee reports the resolution
favorably does not enter into the case |
as far as the republicans are concerned.
Meantime, Representative Tbomss ot j

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md.. July 26, 1913.
Steps insuring the amalgamation of
the republicans and progressives of
Montgomery county, so far as the
county ticket this fall is concerned,
were taken by the leaders of the two
parties here this afternoon.
Both conferences were held here this
afternoon at the same time, Mr. Du
vall presiding over the republicans and
Mr. Talt over the progressives. The
sentiment at both conferences was al
most unanimously in favor of amalga
mation upon* a fair basis, and after
extended discussions the republicans
adopted a resolution setting forth "that
it is the sense of this meeting that
every reasonable concession be made
to effect a union between the repub
licans and progressives of the county
in order that we may present a united
front to the democratic party this fall,"
and the progressives resolved "that the
progressives of this county shall retain
their organization and that the chair
man be authorized to name a commit
tee of five to confer with the republi
cans upon the selection of candidates
and the local situation."
Committee Is Named.
Following the adoption of the reso
lutions. Chairman Duvall appointed a
committee, consisting of Alban G.
Thomas, chairman, and Thomas Daw-1
son, William T. S. Curtis, Ormsby Mc
Cammon and Charles P. Kirk, to con
fer with the progressive committee,
consisting of Galen L. Talt, chairman,
and James M. Mount, Charles J. Fox,
Frederilck W. Page and Joseph Hicks.
When the committees met the reso
lutions adopted by the two conferences
were exchanged. The terms upon which
an amalgamation could be effected were
then discussed at some length, and it
