HEALTH OFFICIALS
IN conference AT

Prof. Conn Discusses Spread and
Treatment of Chambers
and Rabies
Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, April Stealth officers
and members Of Health boards
throughout the state attended the
Sixth annual conference of Health
officials in this city today Bridgeport
was represented by DR.. Florence Sher-
man, medical inspector of the Pub
lie schools.
There were many interesting papers
One attracting considerable attention
was that of Prof. H. w. Conn, State
,Bacterioligist on "Co-Operation be-
tween Health Officers and Commits.
sioner on Domestic Animals for Sup,
preston of Chambers and Rabies DR.
Conn said:
1.-The relation Of Health Officials to
CHAMBERS and rabies is quite differen,
from that Of most diseases which at
tack man. This is due to the fac,
that these diseases are primarily
found in animals and only occasional
ly transferred from animals to man
If veterinarians and public health Of
ficials can promptly diagnose all cases
Of CHAMBERS and rabies and kill the an
imals affected, it is possible to con-
troll these two diseases.
Connecticut has in the last two
years been fortunately quite free
from rabies, although it has been
somewhat prevalent in the surround
ing states.
''The proper procedure of health Of
fcials in dealing with suspected ra-
bies is briefly as follows: The sus-
pected animal should, if possible, be
captured and confined for three OF
four days to see if it develops fur
Their symptoms of the disease. If il
is case of true rabies, the animals
will die inside of a few days in the
majority of cases. After death the
head should be removed from the
body and shipped in ice to the state
laboratory where diagnosis will be
made. If the diagnosis IN the labora-
tory is positive, the case may be re-
garded as rabies without question. Il
the diagnosis is negative, it has tC
be borne in mind that about percent
of the cases in the laboratory reports
as negative true rabies may have beer
present in the animals. If the cases
prove to be positive, any person thai
has been bitten by the animal should
be sent Immediately to Pasteur Insti-
tute. All dogs that have been bitter
by such animals should be captured
as soon as possible and confined OF
killed. The confinement should con-
tinue at least six weeks and should
be preferably followed by the muzz-
ling of the dogs after they are releas-
ed.

WISCONSIN'S VOTE
EXPRESSES SOUND
JUDGMENT 0FVOTERS

Washington, April 3-Analyzing the
LaFollette victory in wisconsin, Louis
D. Brandeis, the Boston attorney, in
a statement issued here today declar-
ed the vote was mot an idle conpli-
ment to a favorite son, but signifi-
can't as the judgment Of the people
of State who have known LaFollette
for 80 years.
"The greatest problem now before
the American people is the demand for
social justice and individual demo-
cracy," Brandeis said. Our working
men enjoy political liberty but in the
main are subject to individual despot-
ism and social injustice which, under
the present system has become par
tlcular1y oppressive. A large part Of
our working people are working and
living under conditions inconsistent
with American standards of ideals
and indeed with humanity itself. The
condition of a large body of the steel
workers, toiling II hours day seven
days in a week at less than living
wageS-while the steel trust exacted
from the consumers in 10 years more
than $3.50, 600 900 in excess Of a liberal
return on the capital originally invest
vidual absolutism. 1t is apparent
that such conditions cannot continue.
Either our people will lose their pO-
litical independence or they will ac-
quire individual independence. We
cannot exist half free and half slave.
The problem is how to remove these
fragrant abuses of our individual sys-
tenn, how to secure individual liberty,
while preserving what is good in our
institutions-the energy, enterprise and
persistence characteristic of Ameri-
cans.'
Continuing, Brandeis declared that
LaFollette possesses the necessary
qualities of leader. '@The vote of
yesterday expresses the deliberations
he said. Their judgment is signifi-
cant because it was rendered in a
State where LaFollette has been
known in public life for 80 years, be-
cause it was rendered by his fellow

ESPECIAL from United Press.)

South Bethlehem, Pa, April 3-The
steriliza ton of defective children and
their segregation in the community
was recommended by DR.. Henry H
Goddard, Phi. D., here today, before
a congress on the condition Of school
envy of Medicine. DR.. Goddard, who
is director of research in the Train
ing school for Defective Children in
New Jersey, said:
'It seems that we might vasecto-
mize people rather freely and they
might be allowed to live out their
lives in the community without fea,
ETY. to care for. The fact of sterili-
cation would indeed solve the prob
lem of the offspring but society could
not afford to endure the dangers
which would result during the life
time of the one individual.
sterilization does come in for some
advantages. There are many people
their going to an institution for the
feeble minded. Society never feels
safe SO long as these people are al
lowed to marry or become parents
In such cases it might be proper tc
say to the parents: If you will con-
sent to have the operation of sterili-
zation performed on your child Their
you may keep that child with you as
long as you like
A. w. Edson assistant superinten-
dent of the New York Public schools
contended that the state is RESPONSE
BILE for the care of backward children

schools in Springfield, Mass, also dis
cussed this view. E. Bosworth Nc

Plea to Judge Case.
He asked Judge Case, as a matter
of encouraging reforma ton, not to
thrust him back into prison, but, il
he thought a fine necessary, to i'm
pose a fine and let him go back to his
home and his family and his work in
Pennsylvania.
Judge Case called Matson before
him and said

an eager hopefulness about him, Mat

There wasn't much noise in the
