A RIDE IN YOUR AUTO
Associated Charities Cites Way to
Relieve Distress of Alley
Inhabitants.

You men whose families are out OF
town. Do you ever think of taking an
automobile full Of poor children up
through the cool, dark stretches Of Rock
Creek Park these hot nights? Do you
ever wonder how hot it is down in some
of the places where the Associated Char
tiles people are working day and night

who have been gasping all day in the un.
shaded. frightfully hot, asphalt-plated
alley?
If you really want to do good turn
and benefit some one, get a car full OF
Kids tonight or tomorrow night and

you go there yourself and wonder how
you got that car. You know where
there Is trickling water and great big
leafy oak trees and cool greensward
that slopes lazily down to the water
side. There Is ever a cool breeze there,
and the little children from the hot

Directions to Follow.
Follow these directions: First. call
up the Associated Charities before the
Office is closed. and tell them that you
have car that is not being used to-

you will see to it that all hands get a
fine ride in the dark. cool woods. If
you cannot do it, and if you have a
chauffeur, all right. The Associated
Charities people have said they would

DOGS TO Be MUzzLED,

Action Taken by Board on Recon-.

Following receipt of a report from
Health Officer Woodward stating that
the continued presence of rabies in
the District indicates that there are
one or more dogs afflicted with this
disease now running at large on the

recurring the muzzling of all dogs.

According to DR.. woodward. from
July 1, 1914. to June 80. 1915, twenty
one dogs were reported to the health
department as having shown clinical
symptoms of rabies. In eight cases
the clinical diagnosis was confirmed
by post norton examination. The dogs
suffering with rabies bit eleven per-
sons, two of whom developed hydro
phobia, which resulted fatally.
During the month just closed. DR..
Woodward states, a dog suffering with

Urges Renewal of Order.
I'VE should not lose sight of the
fact" he said, that the muzzling order
was in force during the period this
record was made, and therefore it is
reasonable to believe that if said muz-

The sudden death of Hon. Samuel
G. Shields in Washington Tuesday
afternoon was a distinct shock to his
many friends in East Tennessee. He
was one of natures noblemen and his
affable manner, manly bearing and
extreme loyalty made friends of all
with whom he came in contact. He
was one of the leading lawyers of the
State and was one of the most pop
ular members of the bar. His death
is a distinct loss to the profession and
removes a citizen of whom Knoxville
was justly proud and whose place
will be hard to fill. He belonged to
a type of manhood that has made the
South famous and to family noted
for it's great men. The widow and
relatives have the sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement.
