Watch Dogs Closely.

Dr. George T. crowley, recently ap- 1 pointed deputy to the state commits sioner of domestic animals, was in town yesterday to confer with the local dog warden regarding Plain vile canines and the prospects of a spread of the dreaded rabies here. Several dogs in New Britain and 1 other nearby places have been found to be infected with the disease ana a number of people in the neighbor- ing city are taking the Pasteur treat ment to ward off hydrophobia. The dogs in that city are now muzzled. Officer Marino killed a dog here a week ago and while it was believed the animal was suffering from rabies examination of the head was | neglected. The dog was frothing at the mouth and had every indication of being mad when the officer shot it at the request of a West Main street resident.
 Plainville people owning dogs are advised to keep them under close ob- servation and at the slightest sign of the disease they should call a vet erlnary or notify the dog warden.
 May Have List Tomorrow.
 Although the exemption board for
 
 tunity to compile a list, other than the one on file in Avon, of the young men who have been called for ex- animation to determine their physical eligibility for military service B. l. Miller, the secretary, has announced that he will make an effort to give out for publication tomorrow or Fri day the names of the three hundred registrants who have been notified to appear at the Town hall here on Sat urday.
 MT. Miller proposes to try to make the list public in order that the men supposed to appear for examination can without question get the infor- nation desired. While letters have been mailed to all of them. the possi- bility of error might result in their failing to receive their notice. The law does not provide that the non- receipt of notice from the board is an excuse for failure to appear as the registrants are expected to find out for themselves the order in which they have been drawn.
 Nine letters sent here by the exemp- ton board still remain unclaimed at the post office, the mail carriers hay ing been una ble to locate the men to whom they are addressed. Should they fail to appear for examination on Saturday it is possible the exemp- ton board will make allowances in their cases unless it appears that they 1 are trying to evade their responsibili- l ties although the law makes it possi- 1 ble to call those who fail to appear for physical examination into the ser vice would giving them any oppor- tunity to make exemption claims. 1
