K foBoDY has seemed disturbed
over being found without
funds in Europe the past
summer or to admit the
hardships under which their
homecomings were accomplished. In
fact, talking poor was a regular pas
time a month or SO ago, both at home
and with those from here who were
abroad, but that idea is passing and
will soon be hardly a memory. The
world Is moving 80 rapidly that there
Ii little time or sympathy for those
who cannot keep up with the pace, and
everybody knows that If their particu-
lar ideas of a good time are not being
accomplished, somebody else is having
tneir chances at fieeting happiness. It
H pretty hard to be economical and
saving when real need is not at hand,
and the shops are showing frocks. furs
ana all frfneries of a most enchanting
character. One more round of hnerv
Just seems necessary, and while 1t NAV
Hot De altogether good taste to faunt
100 much vanity of this sort while Ali
tne world Is 'hearkening to the misery
as, actoss tne sea. our own business inter-
ests nave strong claim. The F street
world OF shoppers is making a very
smart appearance, whether the winds
DioW warm or cold, and the French
Gowns or New York ones or those of
tne domestic artists in the same lines
are looking mighty well on their
washington owners.
None OF the conjectures as to whether
tne capital OF the nation is to have Its
of it. have yet been answered bv direct
statements from those who might
know best, but the chances are look
ing pretty good to the optimistic who
are at this time perfectly willing to
let 1t go at that. How far the officiaI
side OF the gay world Is going to lead,
or whether or not the PARTICIPATION of
the White House may be expected in
even the most limited way, are mat
ters yet to be determined upon. and
the outcome to be made public. The
winter program is usually announced
around the time when Congress begins
q new session. 1t would be quite a re-
markable event. taking all things into
the warning nations of Europe would
be able to meet In the White House
red room New Year morning for an
exchange Of greetings before they con-
tinued their procession to the blue
room. inasmuch as it is quite i'm
probable any similar sociability can
take place abroad for a long time.
For the ordinary observer. the omis
sion Of this function is quite possible.
particularly as similar action was
taken on the 1st OF January of the
present year. in an effort to curtail
the formal occasions of the winter
and to give the President and his
family a day of recreation instead.
The reasons governing then are quite
different now and naturally of much
greater moment than the personal ones
that ruled against the holding of a
daylight reception to start this year.
The months since have brought a
great sorrow to the White House fam
ily and in all probability a stronger
disinclination to take any part in So
cial life for some time to come.

NOT USE DOGS, SANITARY
LIVE STOCK BOARD RULES

guards will be stationed along all
roads and every precaution will be
taken to prevent dogs from being
shipped out of the county or being
taken about the county.
While the use of dogs is prohibited,
cunning will be allowed in this county
without dogs and officials of the United
States Government Animal Industry
Department said that the rabbits could
carry the disease on their feet but such
animals would be it for human food.
The cattle and dogs on the Mitchell
farm were ordered tied and they will
be subjected to a critical supervision for
a few days 1t is expected that the
government officials win slaughter tho
animals. II was also reported that p
steers and sheep on the Thompson
Bailey farm, where the disease was dis
covered several days ago, would be
killed today.
Representatives of various morocco
plants conferred with the State Live
Stock members today relative to the
shipment of hides here. IL was stated
that a permit would be necessary where
the raw hides were being handled. The
tan hides win not come under this or
der.
The Live stock Board had many re-
quests to prohibit all kinds OF cunning
or hunting, with or without dogs in this
county. but considered this too far
reaching and decided TO permit hunt
mi without dogs, and to maintain a
strict quarantine against dogs running
at large.
Evening journal., 1914-11-13

AS a precaution against further
spread of the foot and mouth disease
in this county and State, the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board this morn
ing adopted resolutions prohibiting
cunning with dogs in New Castle
County from now until the quarantine
is lifted. This will permit gunning
without dogs. This measure was
adopted at a conference attended by
Governor Charles r. Miller, General
4. r. Benson, of Kent county, and
Newton L. Grubb, members, and Pro-
fessor Wesley Webb, secretary of the
State Board, State Veterinarian II. p.
Ewes, and veterinarians Of the Govern
ment. The meeting today was called
to consider the hunting situation, ow-
ing to the spread of the hOOf and
mouth disease in this county. two
cases having been discovered late yes
terday at the farm of Mrs. s. I. Mitch
ell. at Hockessin, and also because Of
the requests of many farmers to stop
dogs running at large,
Dr.. Ewes and the government Off
cials went to the Mitchell farm this
morning and inspected the suspected
animals and 1t was found they both
had well developed cases.
A resolution was adopted prohibiting
all animals except horses, mules and
dogs from travelling on the public roads
4 OF Christiana, White Clay Creek and
Min Creek hundreds. This action Of
! the board is thought necessary, as cat
/ tie had been shipped from Hockessin
Yesterday, it being thought at that time
that the section was free from all dis
case, but suspicion about some hogs
there having been raised since.
I The members Of the board today also
conferred with Edward c. Bradford. Jr.,
secretary Of the State Game Commits
sion. and he offered to cooperate with
the Live Stock Board and the govern
ment in stamping out the disease
At today's meeting, the Live Stock
Board. on the suggestion of Governor
| Miller, passed series Of resolutions
which were as follows;
First. That no dogs shall be allowed
TO enter OF leave New Castle county
the various railroads to be so informed
Second. No one shail hunt in New
Castle county with dogs" (This means
that a man cannot hunt on his own
lands with his own dogs.l
"Third. That all dogs running at
large near the infected districts shall
be shot by the guards.
"Fonrth. That only horses and mules
shall be driven over the roads of Chris
tiania, Mill Creek and White Clay
Creek hundreds"
The question as to how long this
quarantine would remain in force was
discussed, and DR.. Ewes stated that
in Pennsylvania it was maintained
for thirty days after all signs of
the disease had disappeared The
matter of prohibiting dogs from this
county being shipped to other parts
of the State was discussed and while
several thought the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal should be the divid-
ing line for the restricted cunning
districts. it was pointed out that
cattle had been allowed to be moved
from this section Of the State to that
portion below the canal recently OH
permit, and now the disease had
broken out in the districts from
which the cattle had been shipped.
ln order to put a stop to gunners
transporting dogs from this county
into others, it was stated that armed
