TO LAUNCH MOVE AGAINST RABIES
Humane Society And Kennel Club To
 Cooperate

Mrs. Charles Whelan, president of the Birmingham Humane society, and committee from the Kennel club, headed by Judge Alvin M. Douglas, have offered health authorities their CO., operation in the movement now taking shape to control rabies among dogs in Birmingham.
 Mrs. Whelan, after a conference with Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, said the Humane society had seen this situa- tion developing for years and had sought to check it through rigid enforcement of the existing dog laws. She would not indicate what action her society would take until she is given a copy of the completed proposed ordinance to study.
 The Kennel club committee informed the health department it stands ready to cooperate fully in the departments s dog control program, made necessary by the alarming increase in rabies among dogs during the past year.
 Ordinance Discussed
 The proposed ordinance was discussed Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Bowling and Mrs. Mary Echols, health commissioner. and will be drafted in the next few days by City Attorney w. J. Wynn, in time for action by the commission next Tues day. Wynn will harmonize the measure with existing dog laws.
 Briefly, the ordinance will make 1t unlawful to keep dogs who have not been inoculated with anti-rabies serum which leading health authorities say will immunize an animal for at least 12 months. It also will be made unlaw- full for dog to run at large unless it has been inoculated, and will give the health department the right to con- fine dogs in the pound and kill them unless their owners claim them within a reasonable time and comply with the law regarding immunization.
 "Shots" of the serum can be given without discomfort to dogs, according to health officials.

O'BREN STARS
 AT THE TEMPLE
The Man Who Came Back Rated As Grip
 ping Photoplay

Comparatively newcomer in the pie ture studios, George O'Brien already ranks high as a result of his work in "The Man Who Came Back" which opened a six day run at the Temple theater Monday night. This William Fox version of the story by John Elem ing Wilson, later dramatized by Jules Eckert Goodman, is one of the best pie lures of the year and an enthusiastic audience last night attested to it.
 No less conspicuous for her work than O'Brien is Dorothy Mackaill in the leading feminine role. But Miss Mackaill is well known and was rated high even before she played with Rich ard Barthelmess. O'Brien is just com mencing and he certainly gets away to a great start.
 The picture tells of rich young New York idler whose father sends him to San Francisco to work in his shipyards. The boy goes down and eventually lands in Shanghai, an out cast in every sense of the word. In this role, OBrien does some of the best acting the screen has given in year. Of course, he is saved eventually, by the girl, but not until his life has furnished a story which made an ex- ceptional novel, a great stage play and in our opinion, greater picture.
 Added attractions this week include William Nappi and his syncopated symphony orchestra playnng one mati- nee and two evening performances. "Marvella" singing attraction appearing at both evening performances, and the Famous Temple grand organ playing from opening until closing time and presided over, by Joseph Stoves, concert organist with Mrs. Marjorie Smith Me Elvoy, assisting him.
 Next week, the Temple presents for the first time in this city, Hope Hamp- top Ford in "The Price of a Party" one of the jazziest pictures of the age, with Charles H. Miller, song writer fea- turing several of his songs.

$4,OOO Is Stolen From Oklahoma
 National Bank

CHANDLER, Okla. Dec. 30.-Eddie Bailey, 35, is in jail here and another suspect is reported to be under arrest near Cushing following the robbery of the Farmers National bank here this morning in which four unmasked men got away with $4,000.

 Days

CONVERSION LIMIT
 ON BONDS IS SET
First Liberty Loans Must Be
 Changed By June 30

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-Secretary Mellon served notice tonight that the privilege of converting first liberty loan converted bonds of 1932-47 and second liberty loan bonds of 1927-42 into AZ per cent liberty bonds will be withdrawn next June. After that date, holders of the original issues affected by the order, will have to be content with the lower rate of interest cararied by those bonds and will be unable to exchange them for security bearing IF per cent bonds
 The treasury's announcement was in compliance with provisions of the law requiring that date for withdrawal of the privilege must be determined six months before the privilege expires.
 Despite that the conversion privilege has been available since May 9, 1918, the holders of more than $33,000,000 of these securities have failed to take advantage of it. This amount undoubt- edly will be materially reduced in ad- vance of the closing date, treasury of ficials insisted, but they urged that all holders examine their securities to make sure that none of those available for conversion have escaped their notice.
