RABIES IN DOGS
PREVENTED
BY CARE
Humane Society Advises Cold
Baths and Only Two
Meals Daily.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Meals twice
daily, with not too much meat,
plenty Of exercise without muZzlesr
cold baths. a dip in creolin to com
bat fleas. a cool, shady place to
sleep and a body clip in extreme
southern portions makes up the
formula for summer treatment OF
dogs as suggested by the Illinois
Humane Society.
"If every one will take care OF
his pets during the warm months
there will be no fear Of hydrophobia
or rabies in any American city"
according to the society. "It should
be remembered that a dog does not
perspire like a human being, and
that the only way he can relieve
himself of the excessive heat Is by
opening his mouth and painting.
frequently a person. sees q dog
lolling its tongue trying to expel
heat and excretion and q cry of

cause OIL THO LEOUDlcp Will very low

making himself comfortable.
Regulations requiring a dog to
be muzzled. 80 he cannot pant, is
enough to drive q dog mad and goes
to make any animal peevish and
ready to snap. In hot weather. all
dogs should be allowed to run where
they can open their mouths and

"A dog enjoys cold bath. AL.
ways permit them to swim where
ever possible, or wash them at least
once a week. He likes a cool, shady
place to sleep and kennel that is
dry and well ventilated.

REFUSED To PAY
SOME MORSE
VOUCHERS
O'Hare Tells of Unusual Re-
quest Made to Him at Vir-
ginia Co. Meeting.

Daniel O'Hare. public account
ant Of this city, formerly resident
auditor of the Fleet Corporation, at
the plant of the Virginia Ship
building Corporation at Alexandria,
Va, today testified for the Govern
ment at the Morse conspiracy trial
in Criminal Court No. 1. Justice
Stafford presiding. He testified
that a large number of vouchers
were submitted to him for approval
which were not entitled to be paid
as the items and amounts indicated
thereon were neither for plant op-
Grafton, nor for maintenance of the
yard.
O'Hare stated, being questioned
by Assistant Attorney General AL
Iison for the Government. that he
succeeded Philip Reinhardt as resi-
dent auditor of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation at the Alexan-
dria yard in April, 1919, and that
when he took hold of affairs at
the place there were more than
1000 vouchers waiting to be ex-
amined and acted upon.
Witness said it was his duty at
the plant to supervise, audit and
approve vouchers for material,
labor and overhead expenses. He
was in charge until October. 1919.
A few days after he took charge
at the Alexandria plant. O'Hare
testified. he had conversation
with Charles w. Morse, Colin
Livingstone, president of the Vir-
ginia concern. Rupert M. Much. w.
j. Martin. all officials of the COM
pany and Congressman Carlin at
the office of the plant.
O'Hare said that c. w. Morse
at this conference said that he
would like to see all the vouchers
approved by witness before Coonley,
the general counsel of the Ship
ping Board retired from that office,
as they did not know what treat
ment they would receive at the
hands of his successor. This meet
ing, witness said. took place April
10. 1919.
ST told Them" continued wit
ness. ''that they were wasting their
time as I would have to examine
every individual voucher before I
approved of it. and that it would
take some time to do this"
O'Hare said he made a written
memorandum of this conversation
which was offered in evidence by
the Government. and marked No.
543 Government exhibit. O'Hare
refreshed his memory by reading the
memorandum, but gave the sub
stance of the conversation he had
with C. w. Morse and others re-
garding the vouchers without con-
sulting the memorandum.
A number Of vouchers which had
been rejected by O'Hare with ac-
companying letters returning them
to the Virginia Shipbuilding Cor
poration were read. In these wit
ness gave his reasons for rejecting
them, stating that they were not
for plant operation. maintenance or
for plant equipment. One Of the
vouchers was marked private"
and showed the installation in a
private apartment of plumbing
equipment.

URGES FRENCH
PAYFOR Bic
FAMILIES
Government Asked to Award
Bonuses of SO, 1000 Francs
to Parents of J Children.
By HARRY r. FLORY,
international News Service.

PARIS, June 29.-Fifty thousand
francs for seven children.
That is the proposition the gov
eminent is being urged to make to
the mothers and fathers Of France
in desperate effort to arrest the
falling birth rate Of the country.
The. plan provides for the allot-
ment of approximately 10000, 900
francs yearly in 20O-franc lots TO
each Of the forty-nine departments
of the country.
Lottery principles will prevail,
just as the same principles are
now applied to selling government
bonds to unwilling purchasers.
Would Get $1,000.
Each mother and father having
more than seven children will be
entitled to one lottery ticket. At
a fixed time each year in the chief
city in each department Of Franco
four tickets will be drawn from a
hat. The lucky holders each will
be entitled to receive $4,000 francs
from the department, more than
$4,000 at the present rate OF ex-
| change.
After once winning the lottery
the same family will not be entitled
again to participate, or receive an
other lottery ticket until two more
| children have been added to the
already large brood.
Exact details have not yet been
definitely decided upon. The mini
mum number Of children necessary
| for participation in the lottery may
| be reduced to six or five. The
| number of awards per department
each year may be increased and
having once won the lottery may
be forbidden absolutely to compete
again.
Critics Attack Plan.
Critics of the proposition point
| out that In actual operation it may
| work more hardship than it does
good.
"Tt will lead to virtual enrich
ment Of a few and the impoverish.
ment of thousands, who will go
about the business of raising chill.
dren when they are unable to pro
vide for them, with the sole idea OF
winning the lottery" a member OF
the chamber of deputies told Inter
national News Service. "It would
pension and distribute the money
equally to all those who are In
need.
Furthermore, II we materially
reduced the cost of living our birth
problem would be solved, for then
young French husbands and wives
would be perfectly willing to rea,
children"

1t is never an experience the boys

Experience has shown that there

"The statements that boys are

positions are not true said Super

a little irksome for a boy when a

most of the cars here soon.
One Of the first is Leon Duray,
veteran driver, who has brought the
cars Of the Durant team and a force
OF mechanics. High interest is be-
ing shown in these cars because Of
their performance in the Indianapolis
speed classic Memorial Day.

Tommy Milton, winner of the In

team are hero, as we'll as Fred
Conner, manager Of the Durant team.
Cliff Durant, millionaire driver and
manufacturer, will arrive soon.
Although there will be nearly
thirty entries in the Kansas City

than fifteen or eighteen of the cars
will be permitted to qualify and then
only under the guidance Of drivers

Stringent regulations are to be laid
down henceforth by the A. A. A.
to insure not only the keenest COM

also to mark It by the latest safety

The Kansas City race will be the
acid test for the cars of 1872 cubic
inch piston displacement as COM
pared with the 183-inch cars used in
the 1922 race. In Indianapolis the
small cars held up in grand shape for

DR.. William s. Washburn, former
head of the Civil Service Commits
sion, is dead at his home, 2029 Con-

confinement to his bed for six
months, the end came yesterday.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the Metropolitan Methodist Epis-

Interment will be in Rock Creek

DIR. Washburn was born in Alpine,
N. Y, sixty-three# years ago. but re.
ceived his college degrees at the old
Columbian University. Thirty-three
years ago, he was chosen examiner
of the Civil Service Commission.
Eight years he held executive posi-
tons on the Civil Service Commits
sion at the Philippines. From 1909
to 1913 he headed the entire service.
He was a director of the Chaplin

D00n Q6LeCI0Q ana taken INTO Gus
tody. It is true that many raids
occur every week, but in each
case only small quantities are
seized.
Cooperation Lacking.
A policeman is authority for the
statement that startling develop.
ments may arise from the enforce.
ment Of prohibition in the District.
He and his brother officers are con-
scientiously doing their utmost to up
hold the law, but they are getting
feeble cooperation, they say, from
the men who are employed by the
Government to do nothing else but
enforce the liquor laws. Innocent
people riding in automobiles on the
highways leading from Maryland
and Virginia have been help up and
subjected to humiliation. In at least
one instance a. couple were fired
upon.
It IL the contention of some
authorities that very little effort is
being made by the Government men
to get at the source of Washington s
supply Of liquor. Now and then
stills are confiscated in adjoining
States, but only after many com.
plants are recorded.
Wood Alcohol Missing.
One feature of the LIQUOR situa
ton in Washington, however. IL
that the whiskey runners and boot
leggers seem to be more conscien
tious than those in other cities
Analysis of the liquor being brought
into the District proves that very
little of the poisonous" variety il
being vended here. Not since the
District became legally dry has
there been found a trace Of Woo
alcohol in the liquor analyzed by
the Government or District chem
lists.
1t Is common gossip that night
after night carloads of liquor are
being imported from nearby terri
tory to the District. Some negroes
who have been arrested for whiske1
running and bootlegging have ad,
mitted to the police that they have
made thousands of dollars since the
town became dry. Two at least own
their homes. a garage and a large
high-powered car. They also own
motor trucks for conveyance OF
their liquor.
