DO You Gamble?

Some people do by spending their time and
labor and money by housing crop of hay, oats
and other farm produce, and keeping thousands .
of dollars invested in live stock housed in barns,
and gamble with themselves that it will not :
burn. DO YOU?
Other people place their savings in home
and handsome furniture and then gamble on
their luck that it will not burn. DO YOU?
Still others invest thousands in factories,
mills, warehouses and other things subject to
fire, and think they can by careful watching, :
prevent fire. DO YOU?
To all persons gambling with themselves
against loss by fire, wind or tornado, we would :
suggest you give the matter careful considera-
ton. Can you afford to take chances of losing
part or all Of your accumuations for lifetime
: by gambling on your luck? We think not. See
us before it is too late and do not gamble with
yourself.

It's not safe to trust to

Anton Hessoum, the unfortunate
man who became insane some years
ago and at the present time Is living
ne life Of a hermit in the hills south
of town was seen n day last week
by Thomas Kortan. Thomas said that
he was hauling some grain to town
when Hessoun crossed the road a.
head of him and disappeared. He has
long hair and beard ard his clothes
are in pretty ragged condition.
About three years ago Hessoun went
insane and disappeared. Nothing was
heard of him until about two years
ago he was seen in the hills near the
river south of town. An attempt
was made to find where he stays, but
this was unsuccessful as the man
would run away and vanish as soon
as he would spy anyone. Undoubted-
Iy he stays in an undiscovered ave
or dugout, either in n of the ravines
or the high bank by the river. Occa-
sionally he enters the houses of
nearby farmers when no one is home
and helps himself to food. That he
frightens the farmers in that vicinity
is certain, as he appears from time to
time and mysteriously disappears. An
attempt should be made to capture
him as the demented man is unsafe
and should be placed in an asylum.

Refuses to Make Automobile Ar

Virginia officers don't steal any

high rate for bonds?" So said Gov
ernor Mann yesterday In commenting
on the action taken by the State Of
ficials in placing the bonds Of Off
GERS with local concern, provided
sa satisfactory arrangements can be
made
The State foots the bills OF surety
ompanies for bonding officials. Here
tofore, the rate has been sl.4O on the
$1,000. For some unexplained reason
the bonding concerns have put up the
rate to $3.50 per $1,000, although their
risks In Virginia in the past have GER
tainly been source Of profit, since
they have had TO pay nothing.
Under the law, the Governor, the
Lieutenant-Governor and the Attor-
ney- General constitute commission to
pass upon matters relating to bonds.
These officials met yesterday to con-
slider the raise in rates. and 1t was de-
cided that efforts would be made to
secure an arrangement with a Nir-
GINA company. whereby the security
could be gotten at the old. rate OF

Must Come From DIte.
While the intense heat was given
the blame for this case, 1t Is fact
that heat cannot cause hydrophobia,'
Nothing can cause 1t except bite
from an infected animal. This being
the case, the numerous instances of
the presence of the rabies In and
around Richmond most clearly indi-
Gates the necessity for strict measures
TO prevent an epidemic.
1t is the Irresistible inclination of
mad dog to bite something, prefer
ably another dog. His crazed brain
cannot be dissudded from its purpose.
10 considerations OF danger or of the

will attack the largest dog in the
neighborhood If he merely sees him.
Any person who gets in the way of a
mad dog is in the utmost danger.
Therefore. physicians are urging
that every dog in the city and county
be required to be muzzled. All the
dogs in the State thew arpue. are not
worth the one human life which is
about to be sacrificed TO the disease.

Upon examination Of the records in

Governor found that 1927 automobiles
were registered in Virginia. On the
same day, 1886 machines were licensed
IN the District of Columbia. In other
words, about two-thirds as many au-
tomobiles We're located in Washing
ton, where most of them would use
the Virginia roads, as In this entire
State, where only small proportion
would ever get to Washington.
1t was further ascertained that on
March 20, there were less than fifty
machines In the counties of Alexan-
ara, FAIRFAX, Loudoun and Prince Will
