New York, June 19.-Charging the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
with "inexcusable neglect" in employ
inc women and girl conductors as
veune, as fourteen years and subject

to their physical, mental and moral
well-being." grand jury here yester-
day urged the immeaiate enactment
Of legislation "to protect the self-re7
speeting womanhood of the country"
The inouisitors, after an investiga-
tion covering several weeks, reported
that the street railway company had
hired women of questionable charac-
ter and drug addicts and that they
were often required to work more
than ten hours day. The conditions
at the car barns, the grand jury said,
were s'injurious to the community IN
general, and particularly as affecting
many decent and self-respecting wo.
mon now employed or desiring en-
ployment by the railway companies
Admitting that the war imposes in
dustrial hardships on all classes, the
findings stated that, notwithstanding
them. ain these critical times advan-
tagc should not be taken Of labor con-
ditions, but all employers, whether IN
d;vidual or corporate, should be COM
pelled by suitable and adequate iegls'
lation to provide for the health and

The opinion declared that while no.
violation of existing law had been
found, no exigency, however great
would warrant the continuance OF the
conditions revealed.

Sixteen Cases of Rabies Reported in
One Month in State of Virginia
Public is Warned.

Public is Warned.
Richmond, Va, June 2O.-The State
Board of Health announced today
that sixteen cases of rabies had beer
reported in the last thirty days from
the following counties: Louisa, a
Orange, /; Henlico, 4; Brunswick, l
Hanover, !; Isle Of Wight, 2; Roa'
noke, /; Prince George, l; Prince Ed,
ward, /.
Such wide distribution is an added
menace, and the health authorities
have issued a warning to the public
to take unusual precautions at this
time. Many rabid animals now ap'
pear to be at large, whose victims may
be expected to show evidences Of the
disease in the next few weeks. Every
dog that has been bitten, and every
domestic animal exposed to rabies, is
q menace.
All suspected animals should be
tied up securely and should be killed
when they show symptoms Of the DIS
ease. Anti-rabies treatment should
never be administered until it is def
nitely known that The animal that bit
the patient had true rabies.
! When rabid animal has been
killed the head should be cut of,
packed in ice and sent at once, by pre-
paid express, to the Hygienic Labora-
tory of the United States Public
Health Service, Washington, D. c.
Heads cannot be examined at the
State Department Of Health, and
should be sent direct to Washington
without delay.
The Health Department. treats free
of charge all persons who have been
bitten by mad dogs and who cannot
pay the cost of treatment at the regu-
lar Pasteur institutes. In the last
20 days the Department has had thlr-
teen cases under treatment.
Rabid dogs bite other animals as
well as human beings, thereby spread
ing the danger and adding greatly to
the loss and suffering. No chances
should be taken, and every suspected
case should be properly handled with
out delay.

TO WIDEN DRAFT AGE
Baker Favors Any Change Necessary
to Raise Large Army.

The draft age limits will be extend
ed. probably to Is and 45. Secretary
of War Baker finally has been pur-
suaded that this step is necessary.
He announced yesterday that he will
apnrove any change in the selectivc
service act necessary to raise an army
Of the required size.
American and allied military lead
ers now are convinced that the United
States must place an army of at least
5000 900 men in the field, if victory
is to be won This will be possible
with the proposed extension of the
age limits put into effect.
Secretary Baker was won over to
the plan at conference with Provost
Marshal General Crowder. The Sec
retary's consent to the change re-
moves the last obstacle in the path
of the army general staff's move to
bring the proposal before Congress at
an early date. 1t is possible that the
question will not come up until late IN
the fall, but it is believed favorable
action by Congress will be obtained
before the close of this year.
The approval of Secretary Baker is
taken to indicate similar attitude by
President Wilson.
