 for the United States to provide some

 No such machinery has as yet been provided. Congress has hesitated to legislate on these points pending a

 The agreement of the reparat&3sszs commission to permit the United States to receive its share of German dyes without actual cash payment, the amount to apply upon the costs of he army of occupation, is regarded as a distinct diplomatic victory for the United States government. While Secretary Hughes in his note to the reparations commission sharply called attention to the fact that the costs of the army of occupation constituted a prior lien upon the resources of Ger for by the allies before they began to take payments On general reparations, it was assumed that long time would ella pse before the United States began to realize on the army of occupation account.

RABIES (HYDRoPHoBIA>.
Hydrophohia is an acute. specif

Hydrophobia is an acute, specific, communicable disease which can af- feet all warm blooded animals. Dogs, on account of their rowing habits, are chief disseminators of it.
 The disease is transmitted usually by the bite of animals which are actu- ally diseased at the time, only. There is a rather widely prevalent idea that g. person bitten by a dog may develop hydrophobia any time in the future if the dog should happen to acquire the disease. This is not true. The di- sease is transmitted only if the dog actually has the disease at the time that it bites the individual.
 On account of the lax laws in the United States regarding the muzzling of dogs. hydrophobia frequently be- comes an active danger. This increase can be blamed largely on the senti- mental, we'll meaning but misguided so-called lovers who actively work against the passage of all muzzltng laws.
 If these misguided individuals could ever witness the agony suffered by one human afflicted with hydro phobia, they would not be stirred to such vociferous sympathy for the inconvenience a dog might experience from a muzzle. And if they could realize the agony that a dog itself. .Suf- fers, and are really dog lovers, they would be willing that all dogs be in conYenienced by muzzles to save one dog from hydrophobia. This is point they seem to forget-that the mug zling prevents the dogs from having hydrophobia just as it does the hu- man family.
 While other animals, wolves, fox, deer, cats. cows, horses, pigs, can have the disease, nine-tenths of the disease is disseminated by dogs.
 Hydrophobia is said to be the m osr 'agonizing disease known, and it is the only disease we know of which when contracted is practically always fatal, unless treated. However, there is no disease more easily prevented than hydroDhobia, and it should be our duty to help eradicate this awful disease rather than to aid in its propa gatiOn.
 Not all bites from an animal sui fering from hydrophobia transmit the disease. Only 30 per cent. If you are bitten by a dog or a cat or any animal suffering from hvdrophobia, the

Washington, Sept. 27.-Germany's debt of $256,O00,0O0 for maintaing the American Army of Occupation on the Rhine is to be paid by means of dyes under a plan worked out by Sec retary of State Hughes and approved by the reparation commission Inter national News learned today The plan provides that the American share of German dyes shall not be paid in cash, but shall be credited upon the German account for the cost of maintaing United States troops in the Rhineland.
 The Allied Governments have con- sented to this proposal, notwithstand- ing the fact that they raised object ions when this government suggested some months ago that the United States expected to be compensated for the cost of maintaining the army of occupation before any payments were made on general separations.
 The situation with regard to Ger man dyes is very complicated. While the peace conference was in session at Paris, negotiations on this subject were conducted at Spa, it being de- cided that twenty-five per cent of all German dyes should be turned over to the Allies. Of this amount the United States was to receive one- fifth. it being agreed that this govern ment should pay for the dyes at market prices. The other Allied gov ernm tents were to receive their shares without payment the amount to be credited on the German reparation account.
 These dyes have been delivered to the United States and distributed

 A hundred and twenty-five I would get for that first instaIlment.
 Well, it would probably be all T would get for anything I could make of Hammils notes.
 Then it flashed upon me that I had to make more of them, had to make them get by Hammil, had to make them as good I had thought I could make them before I saw them Hammil Governor. If could make the autobiography interesting, thrill ing,-the kind of thing one would sit up nights to finish, I would land him.
 Could it be done? shook my head. Not with the material in hand
 Then came the inspiration I might have expected in my exalted frame of mind. Never yet had I failed to think up story, or work out a diff cult knot in a plot, provided I got exhilarated. No wonder the thought was good.
 Why stick to the material in hand :? Unless Hamn1il was a cross between a mummy and an archangeI. the ma- teria1 I had was, about as near the truth would be the widest fiction that I could concoct. Why not write some fiction that would interest?
 Almost as I thought of that, the plot began to unfold. It was a good one. I may as well admit 1t Is so good as to have been used in about six thousand stories before I used it. It was good enough to stand the six thousand and first.

FACIAL MASSAGE NO. 2

Most women are familiar with the motions in massa ging the complexion The strokes are upward and outward; !; they start at the forehead between the eyes, smooth out the frowning lines across the forehead, iron over the crows feet at the edges of the eyes and come in again toward the nose, which Is stroked from it's top to its tip with particular pressure on the nostrils. The motion begins again at the chin, crosses the mouth to smooth out the. ugiiest wrinkles of all, lifts the sagging muscles of the cheek and the fingers end their strol1e e in front of the ear.
 This with variations is all there is to that mysterious and often costly rite called facial massage. In my opinion any massage stroke which does not pull down the muscles, or which does not stretch the skin is beneficial. It isn't the variety of massage as much as the fact that there is massage at all which counts for this massage is stimulating and brings the blood up to the face clear ing congested pores and feeding inn poveriShed tissues.
 The second most important consid- eration is what sort of cream should be used.
 This is an important point because an oily skin does noE want an oily cream, and a sensitive skin cannot stand a heavy one. Neither will a wrinkled skin benefit greatly from a cream that is only cleansing You must experiment until you have found

chances are one in three that the virus of the hydrophobia which may be in the suffering animals saliva will be transmitted Co your tissues. The common name for rabies. hy- droprobia, was coined when it was thought that dogs suffering from the disease were afraid of water-hydro- meaning water, and phobia, meaning fear. However. it Is not true that they are afraid of water. They will often rush into water but they may not be sis of their throat muscles.
 Hydrophobia Is caused by a minute photozoan-the lowest form of micro scopic one-celled animal life. They are known as the Negri bodies, from their discoverer.
 If your dog should show a change of disposition, becoming melancholy or depressed. Or should become very irritable. cross, restless and begin to bite and swallow sticks and stones or other foreign bodies. be Immediately suspicious of him and keep him where he can be watched without do- ing any harm. Do not kill him even though he should bite someone, but keep him under lock and key ana see if he develops the disease. It | would be manifested within ten days according to Rosenau.
 The bite from any dog, however should immediately be treated. The usual local treatment is to tie a ligsL ture above the wound, make the holes larger by a free ipcision so that the blood will flow freely and wash away as much of the poison as possi- ble. The wound can be sucked, Gum less there should be some cuts in the ! m outh) in order to draw out more or the virus, and then it should be eau terized with strong nitric acid.
 If the dog really has hydrophobia, the Pasteur treatment-which will be given at any health office or by your own physicians-should be begun im- mediately.
 Next week I shall tell you moro about this Pasteur treatment and how rabies has been shown to be pre- vented by the muzzling of all dogs not otherwise kept fn restraint ana a rigid inspection and quarantine of all dogs coming into the country.
