MCFARLAND SKEPTICAL
ON SUBJECT OF RABIES
Declares Conditions Not as Bad as
Painted by Chief of Bureau of
Animal Industry.

In commenting on the recent state
ment made by the chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry. Agricultural De-
partment. that rabies is on the increase
in Washington and that the condition
is growing more and more serious, Com
missioner mcfarland this morning said
he did not believe conditions as bad as
reported.
"ln the first place" said the Com
missioner rabies as a disease does
not flourish in the winter. There may
be a few cases in the District, but as
fast as they are brought to the atten-
ton of the Health Department. the
animals are confiscated and killed.
Conditions do not warrant any agita-
ton or airing Of the subject in the
public press The condition is not as
bad as some reports would lead us to
believe. The Commissioners have the
situation thoroughly in hand and moth
ing that is said can accomplish any
good whatsoever The only trouble we
have ever experienced has been In the
summer when stray dogs come IN from
the surrounding country. The animals
kept and cared for I'm the city homes are
seldom afflicted. and in fact L do not
believe the condition worthy of serious
consideration at this time.
