CHANGE METHODOF FIGHTING DISEASE Dutch Will No Longer Kill Cattle With Foot and
 Mouth Disease

The Hague, Netherlands, January 29. Correspondence of the Associated Press).-The Dutch government has de- cided that the combating of foot and mouth disease among cattle by the slaughter of diseased animals will be abandoned, and some other method tried. The slaughter of cattle infected with the disease cost the government nearly $3,200,00 in indemnities in 1915, for the disease is widespread in the Netherlands. Everywhere in the rural districts, boards bearing the notice, Foot and Mouth Disease" are to be seen on the borders of the pastures. The number of infected cattle slaugh- tered in the last 12 months was over 24, 4,000
 The appropriation for the payment of fndemnities to the breeders has been reduced to the almost negligible sum of $70,000 in the budget for 1916, but bill has been introduced placing $s00,O00 at the disposal of the minis try of agriculture for the purpose of trying other means than slaughter for dealing with the disease. The breed CTS are to be asked to isolate cattle suspected of infection while expert ments are tried in treating the disease with some of the cures recently re- Poi tSo uo iidVlHB bceH ulSCoVeTeu pOtl in the United States and Switzerland.
 In Leeuwaarden, the center of the Frfesland cattle country, the greatest interest Is displayed in the govern ments Intention Leeuwaarden is the biggest cattle market in the Neither lands, over 100000 head being sold there every year. many of which go tc the British Isles and Germany.
 peculiar theory in regard to the cause of the spread of foot and mouth disease was recently advanced in tho Leeuwaarden Courant by the district veterinary surgeon, who places ths blame on the floclxs of wild geese which fly over the Netherlands on theil way to and from the south. where they migrate to escape the northern winter He says that just in those places where the wild geese make halt or their flight, foot and mouth disease often breaks out apparently without

PARIS IS LONGING
 FOR AMUSEMENT F0ndness for Theatre Again in Evidence - Comedy
 Rather Than Drama

Paris. January .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-'Paradoxical as it may seem, Paris wants to laugh. It is longing for amusement and it's fondness for the theatre Is again in evidence, amusing plays particularly being sought. Adolph Brisson, dramatic editor of Le Temps, thus describes the attitude of the theatre-going public at this stage of the war.
 What the people like most at the film shows are not the finest pictures. which represent in their living reality the work of our soldiers, which gives them a vision of the battlefield. Naturally they are in terested, but much less than in the devel- opments of thriller or a farce. It is impressed by the celebrity of an Italian poet and admires the lines he has writ ten for a cinematograph representation. However, it's real pleasure is in viewing the antics of several French and Eng fish movie comedians. These exercise an irresistible attraction. It wants to laugh. It is very fond of the revues, light songs and sketches. It hastens to one of the theatres where an uproarious, before-the-war farce is now being played, and this is true of other p.ayhcuses where light comedies and revues are given. It seems as if Paris of other days is trying to emerge from it's gloom, and 1t would voluntarily fil! the night bars and res- taurants if the chief of police would al- low them to reopen. Whether or not one approves this desire to return to normal habits of living, or whether it offends, one must take note of it. Paris wants distraction. Paris wants tc laugh.
 The causes? They are multiple. First without doubt lassitude coming from the length of events. The war seems eternal. No one dares ask when it will

MOTOR|ST TALKS OF NEEDED TRAFFIC RULES

Recent discussion of the need OF
traffic rules. to assure the safety OF
the public. evoked an unique comment
by a popular driver from the stand
point of the motorist He said:
'.As a constant driver on the streets
of Elko have read with great interest
the recent newspaper comment regard
ing the need of traffic rules to safe
guard the public. feel certain that

would be welcomed by Us and abldcd

But there's another side and one
just as vital. which has not been men
toned. and this has To do with the
pedestrian. Safe TO say, a majority of
pedestrians would give an automobile
scant courtesy, except through fear OF
getting the worst OF an encounter. ard
IL certainly does 20 against the grain
of most people to have tin-lizzie
come up behind and loot the horn.
However. in any community which
is large enough to have traffic rules
for vehicles. there is just as surely an
undeniable right which the driver nl
the vehicle has over the pedestrian.
namely: the right to the use of the
streets between corners, and not have
them used indiscriminateiy as side.
