The Dog Experiments.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In an interview published in The Star
of July 20 Acting Secretary of Agr1cul-
ture Hays, in trying to explain the pur-
chase of dogs by the government for ex-
perimentation. says that there Is in Eu-
rope a widely distributed and much fear
ed disease known as gid. This is con-
traction for siddiness, and it manifests
itself I'm that way. There is a worm, that
gets into the brain OF the sheep, and as
1t grows and affects one side OF the brain
1t manifests itself by making the sneep
wobble in circles. Mr.. Ransome or the
bureau of animal INDUSTRY then loii .,'s
with the statement that the worst that
will happen to the dogs will be good
dose of castor oil.
1t seems strange, to say the least, that
the government should MAKE conlra ct
with the District of Columbia Tor the
purchase of dogs which are to be gwen

among sheep in Europe, but is not preva-

ITASCA AT NEW LONDON.
Revenue Cutter Cadets Will Be Sta.
toned at Fort Trumbull.

The revenue cutter Itasca, with fifty
one cadets of the three classes of the
school of instruction of the revenue cut
ter service, has arrived at New London
from a cruise of six weeks in European
waters, during which ports in England,
France and the Azore Islands We're visit
ed When the ship sailed from Arundel
Cove, near Baltimore, where the school of
instruction was located. it was thought
that she would return there next month.
The recent transfer of the school of in
struction to Fort Trumbull. New London,
and the abandonment of Arundel Cove,
except as repair station. has changed
this, and the cadets will. after completing
target practice at Gardeners bay. take
up their quarters at Fort Trumbull, which
is being made ready for their occupancy.
Bad surroundings and difficulty of ac-
cess is given as the reason of the trans
fer of the school of instruction to Con-
necticut. The movement looking toward
the moving of the school to its new quar-
rers was started over a year ago.

WIRELESS STATION CLOSES.
Apparatus at the Willard Hotel
Shipped to New York.

The United Wireless telegraph station
on top of the New Willard Hotel has
been dismantled. The discontinuance of
the station, which had been in operation
for more than a year, is supposed to be
in consequence Of the trouble which has
been raised for President Wilson and
other officials Of the company over al
legged fraudulent sales Of United Wireless
stock.
The station on top of the New Willard
was established a short time before the
inaueuration of President Taft, and dur
ing the blizzard the day OF the Inaugural
ton it was the only telegraph office which
maintained at all times its communica-
ton with the outside world:
The only information which could be
obtained at the New Willard In regard to
the removal was that the apparatus was
to be shipped to New York.

BUTTER GOING HIGHER.
Scarcity of Milk and Cream Will
Cause Advance.

The price Of butter. which already is
higher for this time of year than it has
been for some time, probably will ad-
vance still further if the present scarcity
of milk and cream in the west, north
west and. in fact, in all parts of the
country continues, according to a we'll
known local dealer, who discussed the
situation today.
He said that the advance might come
within the next ten days or might not
go into effect until September, when, it
is said, the price of milk will be ad-
vanced from to cents a quart, owing
to the scarcity Of that product
The drought. which has made it neces-
sary for many of the farmers to buy feed
for their cows, is said to be largely re-
sponsible for the scarcity of milk and
cream at the usual summer prices.
Standard prices for cream have been
from 50 to IS cents a gallon, but now
the price is from 81 to $1.O5, and the
cream is hard to obtain even at these
figures.

Care for the Dogs [!
To the Editor Of The Star:


The purpose of these lines is not to
protest against any law which will pro-
tect people as well as animals. But l
think that the severe if not cruel orLeal
to which the dogs will be subject through
muzzling could have been in part, II not
entirely averted If owners of dogs and
other kind-hearted people would see that
dogs are never in want of water especial
ly during the heated term. That this is
neglected there is no doubt. Again, there
are numbers of so-called stray dogs which,
as puppies. were left to children to play
with, and when grown were kicked on the
street to look out for themselves. j do not
think that dogs are a luxury, as we have
numerous examples that these faithful
animals have saved the lives of people.
If the dog would have the proper diet
and always ready water there would not
be mad dog. May the torture to which
dogs are condemned for a year awake the
pity of dog owners and others and may
1t be lesson to them that there Will
not be any more necessity for such a
rigid measure. f. FRONANI.
