Brain VS.. Drawn.

Too often, in these days Of pro-

strong fellow. He ought not to be
out of job" But we are inclined to
think that they make a mistake when
they think that it is the physical
strength of the Individual under dis
cussion which is going to land him a.
job. Brains have invented machinery
to do the work of the strong man. He
no longer Is needed to the extent of
making him a necessity to most en-
terprises. The largest concern in the
world has said that it can get along
nicely without strong men but it wants
brainy men. Automatic coalers have
been recently installed upon ocean
liners. The strong man has dropped
another peg. And who was it that
put him out Of the job The brainy
men who invented the machine. 1t
isn't necessary to have overgrown

HYDROPHOBIA FEARED
Frances Burnett Taken to New York
j. for Pasteur Treatment-Boy Has
i Narrow Escape From Death
I Worthingtm School Opens Tuesday.

J.
! It was stated by officials this morn
ang that possibly within the next few
days an edict may be issued whereby
all dogs in Berlin must be muzzled
to prevent the spread of a. feared
epidemic of rabies. Already one mad
dog has been killed. The beast,
which was owned by Butler Roche OF
Pennington road, yesterday became
savage and attacked Frances, the five
! year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Burnett Of East Berlin, who
was visiting at the Roche residence.
The dog was Immediately dispatched
and the head was sent to the state
Laboratories at Middletown where the
surgeons pronounced the case as one
of positive hydrophobia.
Mr.. Roche, the owner of the mad
dog, states that for several days the
dog had been acting strangely and he
had attempted to have it killed but
could find no one to do the job. He
did not think there was anything Sc
riously the trouble, however, until
yesterday when 1T leaped at the little
Burnett girl, biting her savagely
about the face and lips. The dog was
later shot by Deputy Humane Agent
Harry Taylor.
Mr. and Mrs. Burnett were much
worried over the condition of their
child and Immediately upon being
appraised that the dog had been af-
ficted with the rabies, they sent the
little one to New York where she is
being given the Pasteur treatment.
Whether or not Roches dog had
bitten any other persons, or any other
animals in town is not known and
for this reason it is expected that
within short time an order will be
ISSUED to have every dog buzzled. It
has been intimated in some quarters
that If the local authorities do not
call the attention of the state officials
TO the incident that private parties
may notify State Commissioner Whit
tlesey and request that he have the
dogs muzzled as a safety first meas
ure.
Boy Has Narrow Escape.
Edwin Summers, a 16-year-old boy
who was recently taken from the
Swedish Orphanage asylum by Mr.
and Mrs. John Carlson of Worthing-

serious injury, if not death, when he
fell from a wagon on Pennington
road this morning and was dragged
about 500 feet before the frightened
horses were brought under control
The boy received numerous contu-

his right arm. Miss Kate Roche Of
Pennington Road dressed the boys
wounds, after which he was taken

SUBMARINES WILL
NOT COME UNTIL
EARLY FEBRUARY

It is unofficially announced that
the submarine flotilla will not arrive
in Pensacola before February, but
will spend. some time off Key West
holding maneuvers.
The undersea craft have been in
southern waters for some weeks and
it was thought that they will arrive
in Pensacola some time ago. It was
later thought that they would ar
rive yesterday, but unofficial advices
announced a change in plans had been
made and unless other changes are
necessary the submersibles will not
come to Pensacola until February.
BY their late arrival it is possible
that the visit will be extended later
into the spring, thus affording the
later visitors in Pensacola an oppor-
tunity to watch these interesting YES
sells at close range.

STORM DAMAGE ON
.PERD|DO WHARF Is
BEING PUT IN REPAIR

While the work is being carried
on at present under rather adverse
circumstances, the heavy storm dam
age sustained by the Perdido wharf
property is now being repaired, and,
it was stated yesterday, additional
equipment will be employed as oppor-
tunity offers, and the wharf, extend
ing from the western bay shore will
be constructed out to its usual fran
chise limit, extending to water of
about twenty-foot depth. The work
is necessarily slow, pending the en-
ployment of the increased working
facilities.
The bulk of lumber expectation,
usually handled over the Perdido
wharf point, is now being handled
temporarily over the G. F & A. terni-
mails, under an arrangement entered
into following the storm damage in
July. 1t is the purpose of the opera
tors of the p, M. & N. o. Company
to handle these shipments at as early
a date as possible, and to that end,
the damage to dock property will be
completed just as early as possible.

PINK DOMINO BALL
ATTRACTS MANY

c. E. Dobson, of the Chamber of
inquiries from out-of-town points
concerning the approaching Pink
Domino Ball to be given by the Car
nival Association Wednesday night.
One of the inquiries came yesterday
from Brewton, Alabama, another
from Bay Minette, and still another
from as far east as DeFuniak
Springs.
This unusual curiosity on the
part of the people from out of the
city must have been caused, not only
because of the advertisements that
have appeared in the newspapers con-
corning the ball, but is induced, I am
led to believe, by the fact that Pen
sacola is acquiring for herself an un-
usual reputation as an entertainer. It
is mighty good thing to inspire the
folks around you that you can do
things when you set out to do them,
and / believe this is only the warn
ing from the outlying settlements
that we can look for a record break
ing crowd this year for our carnival.
81 have already answered these let
tiers / received this morning, and
have promised them time royal at
the Pink Domino Ball. / told them
that there will be some costumes
there that will surprise them, and
some features that will appear there
that will not only be unusual, but
even sensational. Of course, I could
not tell them the secret yet, but they
will know if they only scan the daily
papers, where it will be announced
in due season"

.PAPAL DEPARTMENT.
.OF LOST SOLDIERS.
|RETURNSMEN HOME.

Rome, Jan. 12.-Pope Benedict XIV
through the department of lost sol
diers established at the vatican, has
aided in learning the whereabouts of
more than 10000 lost soldiers about
whom heart broken relatives had in
quired through personal appeals to
his holiness He is receiving, and
has received since the war began,
some 200 letters day from distract
ed parents, wives and sweethearts in
all of the belligerent nations, plead
ing that he use his good offices to
learn whether theor loved ones, about
whom they have been unable to hear
anything are dead, wounded, sick or
prisoners.
The pope has found this one Of the
saddest phases of the war. Notwith-
standing the size of his daily mail,
he reads all such letters himself. In
the beginning of the war he attempt
ed to investigate each personally, but
the task became so formidable that
it was necessary to establish a sep
crate department at the vatican. now
in charge of Father Huismarn, under
the pope's direction. His holiness,
after reading one of the appeals,
makes some notations on its envel-
ope and sends it to the department of
lost soldiers, which has its offices
on the fourth floor of the vatican
near the papal secretary of state.
Here are some thirty priests and CT
villains engaged in clerical work.
The department has access to of
fetal records transmitted by the
Prussion minister of war to the
Holy See at Lugano, Switzerland and
has offices at Paris, Constantinople,
Vienna, Freiburg, Brussels and Pad
eborn, Westphalia, Germany, with
several minor branches in other
countries.
The department has become one
of the most highly organized of any
in the vatican. IT. writes several
hundred letters day, and to date
such letters have run up to a total of
more than 100000. AS the. depart
ment returns all money enclosed in
letters of appeal and as a person
writing from England cannot well
enclose Italian stamps for interna-
tional correspondence, the stamp bill
alone of the department has been
upward of 100000.
After making an official demand
on the government of the country
where the lost soldier is supposed to
be, the department causes each new
name to be posted up in the military
prison camps, by the aid of Catho.
lie chaplain always present, in the
hope that some of the lost soldiers
comrades may see the name and offer
some clue that will lead to his 1oca-
ton. Several thousands of such
lists have been printed. There are
ITO lists each containing 200 names
for the Italian army alone, making
thus total of $4,000 lost Italian
soldiers. Aside from this, the de-
partment has copies of official army
prisoner lists, arranged by nations,
and it Immediately searches these
lists carefully for the name of the
| lost soldier.
Despite the difficulties of the task,
the department has so far been able
to find more than 10000 lost soldiers
and the pope has received treasured
