Tony's entire supply of nuts would soon
disappear He, wholly unconscious of
the fact that he was being burglariZed,
kept up an animated discussion with his

Then came the undoing of the robbers.
One of them turned from nuts to other
daintieS. and sprang up to the shelf
above, where large baskets of fruit and
jars of candy stood. AS Mr.. Squirrel
reached the shelf Tony made a quick
gesture. significant of what he thought
of Turkey. The squirrel, startled, jumped
AS he shot out he knocked candy jar
over. A crash. and Tony and Tony S

Turks to be attacking them. Tony spied
the squirrel. but that was all. for squir-

Tony vows that he will sit in front of
his stand with a shotgun all day long, in

possessions from the ravages of the willy

if it means to fight
So said DR. William NJ. Davidson, super
intendent of the District public schools,
in an address last evening before a large
audience In the hall Of the Public Library,
at u meeting held under the auspices of
the League of American Pen Women.
In his address on the Public Press and
Education" he declared that through the
public press the people all over the world
that through the press a spirit of world
citizenship was rapidly sweeping over
the nations. This, he said, would even
tually make for world peace.

BEGIN EXAMINATION
Of PUPILS TEETH
Blank Is Furnished for Each
Scholar, on Which Record
of Work Is Kept.

The two recently appointed dental ex-
aminers Of the public schools have start
ed work.
DR.. Henry w. Johnson, who was ap-
pointed for the white schools, began al
the Smallwood School, on l street be-
tween Sd and Az streets southwest He
has examined two classes SO far, and as
the result many recommendation blanks
advising the treatment of the children's
teeth are to be sent home to parents In
the near future. The examinations are
conducted in the morning hours in one
of the rooms of the school. A dental
chair has been improvised by placing the
head rests on an ordinary chair. By
having a detachable head rest the task
of moving a dental chair from one school
to another is avoided.
For each pupil an examination blank is
furnished One half Of this blank Is re-
tanned by the school officials in order to
keep the record Of the work on the chill
dren's teeth which are needed and thar
which is actually accomplished. Some
very interesting statistics will be gath

TWENTY RAblD DOGS
CAUGHT SINCE JULY |
Eight Others Sent to Experts
for Examination-HeaIth
Office Report.

Twenty-eight dogs, which were sup
posed to be suffering from rabies, have
been captured in the District since July
1. Diagnoses have shown that at least
twenty Of the number were afflicted with
the disease
These figures were given out by the
that twenty-seven persons have been bit
ten by supposedly rabid dogs, five by
rabid cats and that thirty-two persons
have been given the Pasteur treatment
The police say the dog-muzzling order
is being enforced as rigidly as possible
officials Of the health department are
likely to bring the matter again to the
attention of the Commissioners but what
recommendations will be made to lessen
the danger to the public from rabid dogs
are not known.
Eleven Persons Bitten.
In addition to the above figures, it is
stated that eleven persons have been bit
ten by dogs known to be rabid. There
have been twelve instances of animals
being bitten by rabid dogs
According to the police figures, there
have been IS arrests since July l for
the keeping of unlicensed dogs; 1Oa
arrests for dogs running at large and
14O arrests for unmuzzled dogs. The total
number Of arrests made is $50. 1t is
stated that officials of the various police
stations have shot eighteen rabid dogs
since July !.
Poundmaster Emil Kuhn claims that
every effort is being put forth by the
force at his command to see that the dog
muzzling order is complied with. The
police say that they have been equally
as vigilant. In spite of this, there has
been no indication of a reduction in the
number of rabies cases and health de-
partment officials are at loss to know
