RABIES CASES
ARE DECREASED

A marked falling OF is noted for
last year in the number OF patients
given the Psstsur treatment for the
prevention OF rabies at the State Hy-
gienic Laboratory in the biennial re-
port of the State Rabies Commission.
Nineteen cases were treated In 1920,
twenty-seven in the year before. thir-
ty-seven in 1918. t~hirty-eight in 1917.
~thirty-two in 1916 and thirty-three in
1915.
During the last biennium the report
states, there have been employed on
an average Of about seventy hunters
who devoted their time to trapping.
Animals against which most Of the
work was directed were the noun
tain lion. bobcat and coyote, especial
ly the latter. as they are principal
distributors Of rabies among domesti-
Gated animals and human beings.

Poisoned grain for the extermina-
ton of rodents was furnished to the
farmers at five cents per pound and
a total Of 130.026 pounds were taken.
In the Metropolis district an ~associa-
ton was formed for the control Of the
rodents on about $4,000 acres and
after a crew of five men had gone
over the ground with the poisoned
grain it was estimated that a saving
of $4,000 was effected.

The field Of cabinet possibilities is
being steadily reduced by President

WHY DO POOR LOVERS
MAKE GOOD HUSBANDS

London, Feb. 5.-Why do poor low
ers make such good husbands?
It's a large and enticing question,
propounded by Mary Fulton, British
novelist, and thereafter discussed by
her with some interesting American
illusions.
The Englishman, says Mary. is both.
and as such is all to the merry. But
pity the American man!
However, to the story:
The great lover" says Miss Full
ton, lis invariably a foreigner; just
as invariably as the perfect husband
Is an Englishman. An Englishman
is the most faithful, and, If he is
handsome. the most handsome man
In the world.
why does he make such a poor
lover and such a good husband?
Undoubtedly not because of the
superlative beauty, intelligence or
charm OF the English wife, for. al
though she may have a sprinkling Of
all those qualities. she seldom knows
how t manipulate them to advan-
tage.
1T is the religion of the French
woman to be attractive and her art
from the cradle to the grave.
American women are the most
physically perfect examples of their
sex. Their genius. oddly enough. is
for slave drying.
Unfortunately the husbands are
the slaves now. Their courtship re-
sembles nothing SO much as the pray
ing bantis,' a brief, carnivorous at
fair. terminating in the ev~isceration

MERKLE WAS KILLED
IN SALT LAKE CITY

George (Blackie) Merkle, who en-
gagged in q pistol duel in Battle Noun
tain ON June 26 Of last year. with
Constable Phelps, rather than sub
NIT to arrest ON the charge Of boot
Logging. in which the constable was
wounded i've times and Merkle sew
eral times. and who made good his
escape from this section. received his
just needings In Salt Lake City last
Tuesday morning. when he was killed
while resisting arrest by q policeman
OF that city. but not until he had
killed q member Of the force and at
tempted to take the life Of the chief
OF police.
Merkle was q hardened criminal
and was wanted for many crimes.
His three companions in the crime,
arrested at the time Of Merkle's
death plead guilty and were sentenc-
ed to from i've years to life. Oscar
Robert Blaney. a pal Of Merkie's, said
in his confession before going to pri-
son. that he met the dead criminal
for the FIRST time at Portola last Au-
gust under the name Of George
Merkle. met him again last Christ
mas In Los Angeles. under the name
of Burns and became associated with
him In crime. He also told of the
shooting Of the officer Of Battle Noun
tain and Of being In the Canadian
army. The confession OF Blaney
proves ~conclusively that Merkle was
killed in Salt Lake City Tuesday
morning.-Battle Mountain Scout.

THE TRIUMPH OF
THE INVENTOR
BY the Spectator

And now one Heinrich OIL
haver. Hamburg, in Germany. and as
serts that he has invented a process
by which he can turn an ordinary
violin, IL delivered to him directly
from the makers hands, and before
1t is vanished. into a regular Stradi-
varius.
Arthur Nikisch and other celebrat-
ed musicians who have tested an in
strument to which Herr Ohlhaver's
process has been applied say that
they cannot tell the difference be-
tween 1t and a genuine Stradivarius.
Similar claims were once made for
the so-called Grossmann method, but
instruments so treated usually lost
their virtue after six months use,
Ohlhaver's violins. however, are said
to improve with age.

The inventor refuses to reveal
his secret. says the press report. but
it is surmised that 1t is merely an
improvement of the violin bridge and
the method Of %strfnging, combined
with a new way of vanishing. OIL
haver himself says:
1T is as easy as the egg trick of
Columbus" and may be applied to
the violoncello or double bass with
equal success.
What may prejudice sober-minded
persons against his invention is the
fact that he is a s%piritualist and as
serts that the ghost of Stradivarius
appeared to him and told him his
secret ' But whether they have a
supernatural origin or not those who
have heard his instruments unani-
mously. vote them of the highest
quality.
