Rosh Hashanah. the Hebrew New

the reformed church will celebrate
the event by twenty -four hours OF
prayer and worship, while the cere-
monies OF the orthodox Jews will last
two days. Both churches will begin
their ceremonies At shutdown this
evening.
The twenty-four hours Of worship
in the reformed church are devoted
to prayers of repentance. One of the
most impressive features OF this cele-
bration is the blowing OF the "sho-
far" or rams horn. This. act arouses
the faithful from the lethargy Of sin
and evil ways.
In the homes OF orthodox Jews only
honey and fruits are eaten during the
two days of service. and they express
the pious wish: May II be Thy will

Two Causes Of Dog Bite.

There are two causes OF dog bites"
stated DR.. william c. Woodward. head
OF the District Health Department.
Vicious dogs-and vicious children. II
appears that the majority Of the present
cases have come from the former cause.
The dog Ia either vicious, or being
leased. Also there are entirely too many
dogs at large unmuzzled, In violation
OF the law.
IF some OF the people who are bitten
by vicious dogs would sue owners of
these dogs, as they have every legal
right to do, " would be a great step in
preventing future eases OF this char
acter. People would not be 80 careless
about letting their dogs run the streets
unmuzzled, as they are now"
The law provides that any owner OF a
licensed dog Is open to civil suit for the
actions of his dog. He also Is liable to
a fine OF $40 for letting a fierce and dam
gerous dog run, the streets, and to a
fine OF $50 II the animal attacks or bites
any person. A few prosecutions under
these laws would quickly reduce the
number OF fierce unmuzxled dogs at
large on the streets. health authorities
contend.

Five Persons We're Attacked by
UnmuzzIed Dogs In as Many
Days.
WANT MUzzLE LAW ENFoRC
Officials Say Additional Help ls
Needed at the Pound to
Keep Down "Strays."

Authorities Of the Health and Police
Departments OF the> District are much
concerned at the striking number Of
cases of dog-bite In the last week. Five
persons were attacked and bitten By
pnmuxzled CANNES In Ave days and
many more In the past month.
This Is due In large part. health De-
partment authorities contend, TO the
small force at the disposal OF the city
pound. They express the opinion that
the present force IL inadequate to per-
form its functions adequately. and are
urging that two more men be given
the pound force.
Another cause ascribed 10 negligence
OF owners Of dogs In complying with
the regulation in regard to muzzling
and leashing dogs.
According to figures OF the poun1-
master, for the year ended June ~.
1915, 1H dogs were TAKEN. which were
tagged. but not muzzled. II IL ln.poP-
sible for a dog which ia securelymuz-

number OF bites shows the large num-
Der of law violations by owners Of
dogs.

Has Small Force.

The force at the pound consists OF a
poundmaster. George w. Rea. who has
held that position three years, and three
laborers. One dog-wagon Is employed.
and 1t is necessary. II Is said. for the
poundmaster and three laborers to be
on the wagon. One drives. one super
vises, and 1t takes two men to catch the
dog. One stands In front and makes as
IL he intends to capture him. The dog
watches him warily and concentrates
his attention son him. But the second
man sidles up. casts his net. and In a
trice the dog Is bowling In the confines
of the wagon.
For the year ended June 90, 2.+22 dogs
were Killed at the pound. LIZ were cap
tured on the streets, and 1.16l surren-
dered to the pound by owners Out of
$50 redeemed. The pound made better

Use Two Methods.
Muzzling Of dogs is enforced in two
ways. according to authorities. The first
Of these Is the impounding OF unmuzxled
dogs by the poundmaster. They have
to be under some physical restraint to
escape his province. but he does not get
around enough TO keep the streets clean

THE RURAL CREDIT LAW

1t is quite evident that the rural

of Congress, had considerable influ-

and for the first time in American
history legislation for the direct ben
eft of farmers was enacted.
Heretofore they have been taxed
numerically in our tariff laws fer
the benefit of manufacturers with
cut receiving any compensatory ben
eft, but in the rural credit law a
positive gain is given them.
They appreciate this cut West. All
