Australian Dingo Only
Wild Dog in Existence
Tiie only true wild dog In existence
todiid is tlit; .Auolralian bingo. This
stall-incut may be disputed by those
who l.:;.;ve that other wild memhers
of the ciin I no family are Just as much
dog us the dingo fpr Instance, the
wooly rucconu dug of China, the crab
eating dug, the i,iisIi dog mi'l the small
eared dog of South America und even
our western coyote. I'.ut all of these
differ materially in body structure and
habits embofliel in our domesticated
dog, while the dingo due not. accord
ing to an authority in the lu.-trnii
News.
The dingo is -. i.M.-illv a urodii'-t of
Australia. Its origin has been tni !
back even beyoml the abori-ines ot the
Islands. In siz.- it resemble.- me
dium weight collie, standing about two
feet high at the shoulders and meas
uring about tive fevt from the muzzle
to the tip of the tail. The muzzle is
I)oi;iied, the ears short and erect and
the tail bushy.
In cofiimi.ntmg n,,. dingo. U'il
. Ham A llasuill, professor of zoology
at the Cmversity oj Sidney, says:
"The jaws ul tin., animal are remark
able for then terrilk- power, which
enables the animal to tear awa com
pletely the th-.-l, gni.pe.l In its bite
and so to kill its prey by mere shod;.
"The color o the .-ad; varies bo.
tween the limits of hgut reddish-brown
and black ; the lower surface is ill ways
lighter, while the tip of the tail and
the leet arc freijuen? y white.
"In ti.any par' of Australia the
u-borigines cat'cb dingo pups and train
them to liuiit. A'riginal wmjien oft
en stn Kb- the pups, Which, acquire H
great affection and loyalty to (heir
foster mother-.
"In the uild slate the dingo usually
hunts alone or its lifelong map-,
though big gunie i,s often killed by
pack attacks."

Romans Knew Shorthand;
Was Used in Middle Ages
A .system of .shorthtind or, rather
rapid writing in abbreviated longhand,
was known-to the Itomiiii.s. Tiro, lirst
a slave and then ".secretary" to Cicero,
brought his system to a useful stand'
urd of prollcicncy, and It was used far
into tin; Middle Ages.
The system of shorthand which was
really the forerunner of modern styles,
tSWA'T., wiih that of Dr. Timothy
Jlright, a- li.".7V.'.'..i if.''" of KlizaVieth'S
day, whose hook on the "arte of
Khorte, .swil le ;ind secrete writing" was
published in ir.SS. Doctor P,right'
system was followed by several others
(including a method devised by Shel
don In 1020 the one in which I'epys
kept his diarj). Later systems brought
radical changes, arbitrary marks for
words giving place to the foundations
of a proper shorthand alphabet. The
phonetic principle came with the Nine
teenth century, when IMtninn utuJ
others InlDduced their . systems

Why Change Horses In 3Iid-Stream??
About IS months ago Mr. Messer took the place as
Chairman cf the County lioard of Education, and many
changes have been made which we believe have been lor
the best in Haywood County. Why at this time make
a change that will necessitate the re-organization and
interference with plans that are already underway in the
school system?
-Mr. JUesser has proven that he is eliicient and capa
ble i f serving in the same capacity ih ..e has In Ihe
past and we lelieve a change would not Ire for the best
at this time.
