ALL DOGS GOOD UNTIL
THEY BEGIN TO BITE
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12.—Coke’s
age-old maxim, “Every dog is entitled
to one bite,” was applied here recent
ly by Judge Thompson of the Supe
rior Court in finding for a damage suit
defendant whose dog was alleged to
have' bitten a baker’s boy.
No one denied that Max, the dog,
had helped himself to a nip out of
the baker boy’s arm. The statement
of the defendant that the nip had been
the first indulged in by Max, likewise
was undisputed, so motion for nonsuit
was granted.
In delivering the finding the court
said:
“It is an ancient rule of the law
that every dog is entitled to one bite.
The owner of a dog of known vicious
character is charged with responsi
bility for its" acts, but how shall a dog
who never has manifested any vice be
supposed by its owner to be a dog of
vicious character? There obviously
must be a first bite, and hard as it
may be upon the unfortunate victim
of this, so to speak, maiden bite, he
apparently is left without recourse.”

VIRGINIA WILL SAFEGUARD
FEEDING GROUND FOR DUCKS
RICHMOND, Va„ Feb. 12.—A huge
seawall will be built to save far-famed
Black Bay, Virginia’s paradise for the
duck hunters of many states, accord
ing to W. McDonald Lee, Virginia
Commissioner of Game and Fisheries,
who recently inspected the district
after receiving complaints from hunt
ers that salty waters from the Atlan
tic threatened to kill all food for wild
fowl in the vast area.
The waters of Black Bay are saline
but not enough to prevent a wild va
riety of grasses and plants from grow
ing on its shores and marshes. But,
said the commissioner, the Atlantic
ocean has broken through its natural
barriers of sand dunes and is pouring
in too much salt for the plant life to
survive. A seawrall to withstand the
mightiest storms will be throwm in
front of the weakened breaches.
Jackie Coogan Coming
In “Oliver Twist.”
Tonight at the Liberty Theatre will
be shown a picture which is heralded
as a “milestone on the highway of
art,” and which bears the highest re
commendation in its own right. It is
“Oliver Twist,” starring that adora
ble child actor of the screen, Jackie
Coogan; presented by a company of
the most distinguished screen celebri
ties, including Lon Chaney, Gladys
Brockwell, Lionel Belmore and sev
eral others.
The picture is described as the
mos tambitious in which the juvenile
star, Jackie Coogan, has ever appear
ed, and it is asserted that in it he has
registered an appeal that strikes The
hearts of young and old and of all
classes of picture patrons as well as
those that are not usually enticed to
a theatre. It is the appeal of innocent
boyhood through the medium of one
of the greatest stories ever penned—
Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist.” The
plot has been followed with unusual
fidelity and the characterizations will
saitsfy the most enthusiastic reader
of Dickens.
