DETROIT LIBERALS
FIGHT FOR DOCS
RIGHT TO RABIES
To fascinating
Canine Parasites.

DETROIT, April 21.-Once upon a
time stag hounds used to hunt game
as allies of man in the struggle for
existence. The dogs crouched at meal
time in the great dining halls Of the
mobiles and received bones and scraps
for the table.
Other dogs guarded sheep. Others
did relief work in mountainous re-
gions.
Symbols Of Power.
Now in great cities dogs run at
large in the streets or strut at the
ends of chains as symbols of power
or elegance. Dogs in present day So
ciety are parasites, except where they
are used to round up small herds Of
cattle or to pull dog sleds.
And as pets, dogs differ from cats
or birds in being dangerous.
There is, however, a kind of social
worker that devotes his life to "sav-
ing" dogs, just as another kind of So
cial worker devotes his life to "sav-
ing" society. This kind of social
worker usually organizes or joins an
Animal Welfare League or Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
In preventing cruelty to animals
nothing is involved but the expression
of a generally humane disposition.
But in Detroit at the present time
these saviors Of "our four-legged
friends" are engaged in a propaganda
in behalf of dog life at the expense of
human life.
A Mad Dog Town.
Rabies or hydrophobia among dogs
in Detroit, according to DR.. S. L. Nor
gan of the department of health, is
increasing. Thirty-ive persons, most
of them children, have been bitten by
dogs recently and are under observa-
ton. Six new cases were reported in
one day. Three persons have died
of rabies recently. OF III dogs sent
to the pound for observation, 70 de-
veloped positive cases of rabies.
But circle of dog lovers is carry
ing on struggle against the plan of
the department of health for syste-
matte vaccination of all dogs. 1t is
the plan to require vaccination before
licenses will be issued. Compulsory
vaccination of dogs is heresy to those
who would prefer lick on the hand
from a servile dog to the fellowship
of an intelligent child.

Garages Constructed.

The situation in regard to housing
in the United States is shown in a
very favorable light by the survey
of these 258 cities. Families to the
number of 454,192 we're provided for
last year, as compared with 377,504
in 1921. However, statistics show
that for every family that went to
live in a one-family house two took
up their residence In an apartment
house. This shows an increase in
apartment dwellers from 23f per
cent in 1921 to 30.7 per cent in 1923.
A lesser number of families, how
ever, were provided for in the Dis
trict of Columbia in 1929 than 1922.
Only 1903 families were provided for
in 1928, as compared with 5,266 in
1922. The Department of Labor finds
that the big migration of city dwell
ers, which is increasing continually
because of the high cost of city real
estate, combined with better subur-
ban transportation and more auto
mobiles, partly offset the tendencies
for families that take up residence in
more than one-family dwellings.
The report in general shows a big
field for home building of all types
in the United States, and the same
situation, in reviews of the District
building figures, is shown to be the
case in Washington, particularly for
the construction of homes of moder-
ate cost.

to both kitchen and dining room,
and the cellar within easy reach. The
bedrooms should be separated from
the odors Of the kitchen and given
privacy. Every room should have
cross drafts and, when possible, clos
cts should be supplied with windows.
This house is good example of mod
ern, scientific arrangement of rooms.
AS one enters the front hall two Wis
tas attract, the living room on the
left and the dining room on the right.
Four large windows supply an abun-
dance of light to the living room, two
look out upon the garden and two
upon a vine-covered porch. The two
French doors. SO that one cannot
only have light to the floor, but can
pass out to the porch, thus securing
a pleasant outdoor extension of the
living room for summer use. The
fireplace is in a retired niche of it's
shelves. This nook comes as a sur
prise and affords a comfortable, quiet
place in which to read or chat.
From the entrance hall Is a narrow
passageway to the kitchen SO that
the maid can answer the bell with
out passing through the living rooms,
an important feature. Close to the
kitchen is a stairway leading to the
furnace room in the cellar Directly in
front of the entrance door is a stair
way leading to the second story
There is room here for a little seat,
which forms a useful as well as
decorative feature.
The dining room, at the right, is
lighted by two groups of windows.
Between the dining room and kitchen
is a large pantry with ample shelf
room for dishes, and sink and drain
board.
Here also is the refrigerator, which
can be iced from the kitchen porch.
In the kitchen Is a large cabinet,
closet for cooking dishes, and a

tracts men who have to be skilled,
trained and educated in their particu-
lar field.
Cost of School Estimated.
1t is estimated that the school as
outlined by the Cosmopolitan Club
could operate at first at the expense
of about 5000 a class per year. Busi-
ness men of the city would see to 1t
that the young men in the schools
were employed as apprentices and at
the same time be receiving their vo-
cational education.
Those acting upon the establish
ment of the school for the Fedora
ton of Civic Clubs are Claude
Owens. Paul Brandstedt and Lee
HerreN. 1t is hoped to get the sup
port of the Washington public be-
hind the enterprise, and business men
point out the public will reap the
benefit of better mechanics.
Purposes Outlined.
Here are purposes as outlined:
1. An opportunity to learn a trade
by a physically and morally clean
young man in a school conducted by
the public for the public good. An
opportunity to teach on the part of
the employe.
2. To rehabilitate the trades in the
capacity to do such as the public has
a right to expect
3. To agitate the public mind to
the appreciation of the golden value
of skilled labor and to endeavor to
enroll a high grade Of boys for enter
ing into trades on the basis of quality.
1t is proposed to finance the school
through the various civic bodies.

Unless the facts in a mans mind
are in order he is unable to call
upon them and use the stored-up in
formation quickly and to the best
advantage. And unless a house is
planned in such a way that it can be
arranged in an orderly system so
things can be easily found and con-
veniertly used. it is utterly impos-
sible for the home-maker to bring
about either comfort or beauty.
Every house in this series Is de-
signed either with the aim Of helping
4 woman do her own housework with
out drudgery, or the aim of making
the house so convenient and beau
with her. Comfort cannot exist
when there are an unnecessary num-
per or things to stumble over and
collect dust. Unnecessary things
make a needless amount of work for
the housewife or for her servants.
There should be comfortable easy
chairs and couches, a few pictures
and vases. but not so many things
that the house looks cheap and "clut-
tered up" Simplicity is the keynote
OF good taste In house furnishings
as in every other art.
The center of modern house reform
Is in the kitchen. First Of all, the
Kitchen should be convenient; sec
ond, it should be sunny and cheer
ful-indeed. since the most laborious
work of the household is done there,
it should be the pleasantest room of

textured brick in tapestry shades of
browns, coppers and tans. The brick
can be laid up with light or dark

owner. The wood trim of the house
could be stained in colors to har-
monize with the brick or in some
direct opposite tone, such as deep

be of tile or shingles as the purse of

Almost so per cent. of the build
ings erected in the United States in
1928, were residential structures, and
65 per cent of the money spent in the
country on the construction of new
buildings was for residences, a report
of a survey of the principal cities
and towns of the country made by
the Department of Labor shows.
One of the striking features is the
fact that in addition to residences,
221,825 private garages were erected.
This is 40 per cent of the nations
building total last year. One-family
dwellings, amounted to 38.1 per cent
Of the entire total construction.
Building permits issued on all types
of buildings last year, throughout the
United States, amounted to $3,099,-
694,905, of which S2.017,547,489 was
for residences, and $1,082,147,416 for
other construction.
These figures the Department hold
out to show that the primary object
of the builders has been to relieve
the housing shortage of the country,
which they declare still exists in
many of the larger cities.
The largest amount Of money spent
on non-residential buildings was in
vested in stores and warehouses. The
cost of these buildings is estimated
at $192,912.895. The average cost of
a one-family house was $4,173, two

desert, then turning to strike the bed
Of the winding river, 10y a succession
of pools, with a freeway of stones and
boulders.
Once between the banks they would
be in reasonable security. There were
numerous caves and excavations
there, in one of which a temporary
refuge could be found. But as they
halted upon the bank Sam uttered a
cry and pointed toward the desert.
Three men were riding toward them,
with the evident intention of inter-
cepting their flight.
They were just visible in the twi-
light, which made their figures, and
those of their horses, at once enor-
nous and shadowy.
Two of them, from their firm, stir
seat, were obviously Hotten-
tots. The third was a white man.
There seemed nothing to fear and
much to hope. The Hottentots were
never on friendly terms with the
.Bechuanas, whom they despised as

was still more r%eassuring.

Fox Trot,s Name From Horse,

The fox trot, which has apparently
come to stay in dancing, takes its
name from the similarity of its move
ments to the peculiar step of the
American trottins horse when 1t Is
making fast time, ana not to the re-
semblance to a fox's movements. The
popularity of the fox trot is found In
its rhythm, of course, and this Is one
of the characteristics Of a trotting
horse when he Is making good time,
though when a trotter is just jogging
along there isn't SO much rhythm u
evidence.
