'MAD' DOG BODIES
 SHOULD BE SAVED
Investigation Impossible Other
 wise, Dr. Punen Says

Procedure to be followed in cases where persons have been bitten by dogs supposed to be mad is outlined in q statement issued today by Dr. R. w. Pullen, superinte endent of the board of health, who has found that animals have been killed in the past ;oo soon to make possible a labora- tory analysis of the animals brain. His statement follows:
 Recently several cases where persons had been bitten by dogs have been reported 10 this office. In several of these cases We found on investigation that tho dog had been killed and buried This should not be done. In any case where a per son is bitten by a dog he should consult a physician al once and should communicate with the health department, giving the name and address Of the owner of the dog, This enables us to quarantine the dog and keep him under observation. By doing this we are able to note any possible signs of rabies in suf- ficiont lime to advise Pastcur treat mont for the person bitten. It is very important that the dog be ob- served alive for a period Of two weeks. If the dog is Immediately killed. and particularly if killed by q gunshot in the head or blow on the head. the brain is made useless So far as laboratory examination is concerned. This not only sacrifices the life of what may be a valuable animal. but it also destroys the only means we have for protecting the person bitten. If we can observe the animal for a period of two weeks we are able to protect the person bitten against hydroph ohta. For that reason follow these rules
 "1. If bitten by a dog report immediately 10 a physician for care of the injury. and report to the board of health either directly or through your physician the location and ownership Of the dog that bit you.
 70. Do not in any case allow the dog to be killed until after you have reported to the health department. This is for your own protection.
 "3. In any case where a suspect ed mad dog is seen loose on the street communicate with the health department. with the dog warden, or with the police department"

ANSWERS CRITICS
 OF PARK DIAMONDS
Wainri8ht Says Work at Willow
 Brook Is Incomplete
-- -

Ralph B. Wainright, superin- tendent of parks, today made the following statement concerning criu- cism of the baseball diamonds at Willow Brook park;
 There seems to be considera ble public criticism of the new dia- monds in Willow Brook park and to meet this we wish to make the fol- lowing statements: Although the meadow land west of Memorial field where these diamonds are located appears to be level, nevertheless for baseball there were many inequali- ties winch had 10 be either filled or removed, and this grading has been our biggest job and is not yet con- pleted. The base lines have been cut out and filled with suitable ma terial, the playing surface has been moved and rolled repeatedly, benches, bIeachers ani backstop are provided for each diamond and best knowing our own affairs We feel that We have done fairly well in the short space of time allowed in preparation. If the public will only be conSiderate they will find these diamonds improved from day to day, and nobody wants good ball fields more than this commission.
 Up through June 12 We have ex- pended S5S2 for equipment and $43% for labor and teams.
 Tn regard to players becoming injured on these diamonds, it must be remembered that similar in- juries are suffered on the best dia- monds Tn the country.
 Through no fault of our own the field houses are not yet complete though we are hurrying mp 'he par ties responsible. Anyone who has had 10 depend on different trades men to finish any building operation knows what it means.
 I've feel 1t is unreasonable to ex- pect the city to furnish awnings 10 cover the players benches and will not provide these desired luXuries, at least this year.
 "As Mayor Weld says, Boost the city every chance you get we might add: Boost our parks: they need your help, and you will find LIS ready to work with you.
 Respectfully,
 Board of Park Commissioners.
 ''R. B. Wainright, Supt."

The ma- chine doubled back and in forty sec onds the cloud had disappeared. The second cloud was dispatched in two minutes and thirty seconds. On the ground Dr. Warren danced about excitedly. with Governor John Trumbull and a group of army off, ccrs from Washington beside him As inc sand was released, melting the fleece, he shouted:
 "Thcrc she goes, There sho goes! Dammit. she's blown up,'
 The army experts agreed after the clouds had been shot that pr. War rrn's process meets every require mcnt for scientific rain-maldng, and that Glcre was no question that rain would have fallen if the clouds had contained sufficient moisture con- tent.
