WHAT THEY SAY
Fly BILL THOMPSON

The question was: Has the killing out Of the stray dogs accomplished any good in your neighborhood?
 Where asked: Here and there about town.
 The answers were:
 Miss Frances Douglas, stenographer. Jefferson County Bank building: "The killing of the worthless dogs in our nelghborhood has certainly helped us a lot. It was my duty each morning before I went to, work to wash the porch off, and now it is not half as dirty. because there are not so many dog tracks on it."
 Sam c. Bowman, attorney, Jeffer- son County Bank building: T think the city authorities accomplished a wonderful amount of good when they passed the ordinance to have all stray dogs shot on sight. If they would continue to pass such laws that would be of equal benefit to the people we should indeed be proud of them"
 Larry Simmons, Alcazar theatre: Before, when I left home each morn- ing. l was afraid that my little brother would be bitten by some of the many worthless dogs in the neigh borhood.. Now stray dog in our neighborhood is rare sight and they have either been killed out or else they passed the word along to each other that it was no place for a regu- lar dog,

National Humane President Comments on the Situation
 In Birmingham

Mrs. w. D. Wood, president or the Birmingham Humane society, has re- ceived a letter from w. o. Stillman or Albany, N. T.. president of the Amer- can Humane association, in which ne discusses the Birmingham campaign against rabid dogs. The letter from man of many years of interest in hu- mane work will be read with interest here. It reads:
 Dear President Wood: I have recent ly received copies of the Birmingham Post telling about a most outrageous condition affecting dogs in your city, wherein the city government proposed to kill them off by shooting on the public streets.
 This s an attitude which is inhumane and worthy of the center of Africa A discussion of the matter will appear in the National Humane Review.
 .I notice that The Age-Herald for March 12 last had letter from you on the treatment of dogs in Birmingham It seems to me that your letter was well considered, and contained nothing of fers sive It was only 9 fair statement of the truth.
 .,In this connection 1t may interest you to know that our local humane so- ciety several years ago had some what similar experience. There was rabies quarantine. which resulted in the destruction of a good many innocent dogs Shooting on the streets was tried, but was promptly discontinued on ac- count of public disapproval, and the manifest brutality and danger of the proceedings.
 This wicked quarantine was contin- ned for something like two or three years Dogs were seized and beheaded and their heads sent to Cornell college In a very large percentage of cases they were pronounced cases or rabies. Where upon a trick was resorted to- Harmless and inoffensive dogs that had been killed at the humane society kennels be- cause they were tramps or vagrants or were even household pets, or unwanted, had their heads cut off These were also sent to Cornell and promptly pho nounced rabid. Of course this was a farce and showed up the absolute unre- liability of the microscopic test Tor rabies
 "At last I got tired of this bloody farce and went to the state commission CT of agriculture, and said that we would either fight the matter out in the courts and expose them or they could send all dogs alleged to be rabd the humane society and we would hold them for six months. more or less, and see whether any rabies developed. he agreed to the proposition. Not case was reported rabid after that. Tho law was suspended and the reign of terror ! ceased. We have never had a case Of rabies reported since.
 While there is such a thing as rabies, about three or four cases in million deaths, although I have been very busy practicing physician for 70 years, l have never chanced to see case. Curiosly

Birmingham mothers of children un-
 der F years of age. provided those chii- dren are not infants in arms, need not
 be alarmed over the report that per son at least 2t years of age must ac- company the children into theatre or other place of amusement.
 The ordinance, as passed by the com mission Wednesday, provides that any child under F years of age cannot be allowed to enter any place of amusement unless accompanied by "a parent or guardian or any other adult person. 1t was also pointed out by Fred 6. Moore, city attorney. that a married woman was legally of age at l8 This Of itself. he said would make it highly improbable that any mother under 2l would be refused adnaittance to a place of amusement when she brought her child under 12 along.

Three model airplanes in miniature and Lewis machine gun form the nucleus of the local navy recruiting of fee exhibit in the window of Blach s store on Third avenue.
 Just now the navy is out for recruits again. The lid was taken off in re- cent order from Washington and the de- partment wants some 10000 youngsters for the new battleships soon to be launched
 With the more recent developments in the navy department the reserves ana reserve corps are getting more atten- ticn. In days gone by the sailors paid little attention to what the subsidiary branches of the service stood for but after the civilian outfits demonstrated their ability in the World war these branches of the service were given the recognition naval officers say they de- serve.
 One recent result is the forming in Birmingham of a strong reserve outflt which is now holding regular meetings addressed by officers of the navy and men who served with the colors and d spirit is developing, say officers here, that will make the unit one we'll worth while in case of necessity Of it's getting into active service.
 Just now the recruiting office is linn tied to 10 men week. and with the way they are offering to serve, Lieu tenant Commander Dibrell says a wide selection is offered of very high type of young manhood. As the navy these days is the equivalent of a great college, enlistment is at premium among young fellows who want to get up Tn the world
