The dogs are Nero, Rex, Shipper, Peggy, Boots, Kim and Pup. and they work from kennels at Ocean Parkway and Avenue W. Each dog has its masâ€" ter, a patrolman who takes two weeks at the beginning of his assignment to win the friendship of his canine assisâ€" tant. Otherwise he might himself fall a victim to the savagery with which the dogs are trained. Innate ferocity and loyalty to the single person are the attributes which fit the seven dogs for their work, according to Patrolman Peter Reiss, who has trained them for twentyâ€"two years. All have been doâ€" nated to the city by citizens, but only "one in a hundred" are acceptable. All are German shepherds. Kim and Nero brothers, are the newest recruits, but "Police Dog No. 766 patrolman, unabashed his paw on a pad and complaint that way." ‘"*Well, you‘ll have t to go on the witness st. said the clerk, a smi frown of indizgnation. plaint," protested the officer, after it had been laboriously prepared.

February was the last month of the Roman calendar, and so the one in which any necessary adâ€" justments were made which explains why "leap year gives it twentyâ€"nine." English records started a new year on March 25th until the official adoption of the Gwregorian calendar brought the empire into line with the rest of Christendom by starting the year on January l1st. Among many agricultural tribes in Africa, market day came to be a day of rest, on which a visit to the market was the only work allowed. Later proâ€" hibitions upon trading as well may have led eventually to the institution of the Jewish Sabbath. Though an important time measureâ€" ment from very early times, the week is not a natural time unit.. It seems to have developed first as the interval between markét days. In fact, among some tribes toâ€"day, the same word serves for week and market. The inâ€" terval has varied widely in different parts of the world, weeks of three, four, five, six and eight days having been used. The sevenâ€"day week originated in western Asia, whence it spread into Europe. Historical dates give other instances The battle of Blenheim for example looms large in British annals, yet th two contending generals must have reâ€" ported the engagement as taking place on different days. The British record: would have been dated August 2, 1704; the French, by New Style reckoning August 13th. cried out that their lives were being shortened. Angry mobs surged through London streets screaming, "Give us back our eleven days!" Calendar changes have resulted in some curious instancees of confusion. A familiar one has to do with Washâ€" ington‘s birthday. We have heard from childhood ‘that he was born on Febâ€" ruary l1th, and have been told why we celebrate the event on February 22nd. This mystery of Old Style and New Style calendars is usually mentioned in encyclopedias when giving dates for both Washington and Franklin. But was Thomas Jefferson born on April, 2nd, April 13th, or April Referâ€" ence books give his birthday as April 13th, 1743, with no mention of calendar styles, although the British world did not offcially adopt the new one until nine years later.

He had magnetism even though he might be mentally deranged. Hie was able t3 inspire his audience with fear and to make them angry. Hitler lived his speeches. At times he would even cry, said Mr. Boyce. He did not reason but played on the emoâ€" tions of his listeners. A fTavourite tactic was the use of catchwords and slogans. A mob did not think, but was active. It took no responsibility but was like a savage in the jungle. Like the dragon of old, said the speaker, it had to have a victim on which to vent its hate. Frequent lynchings in the United States were held as a good example of mob psychology. The crowd did not reason whether the victim was guilty or innocent. It merely reacted and took action. A man belonging to a crowd had a certain self righteousness, said Mr. Boyce. Even if he did not do anything worthy of mention himself he basked in the reflected glory of the multitude. An example of that, said Mr. Boyce, was the fact that clubs, even service clubs like the Kiwanis club, named their chief officer the president. By so doing they allowed him to reflect the glory of the higher civic office of presiâ€" dent. Mr. Percy Boyce, principal of the Schumacher Public School, was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club on Monday afternoon. His subject was "Mob Psychology r Following the Crowd."
