me. Out of the strange profusion of

role that America is playing in The

The Metropolitan Museum, which
has drawn to it the greater part of the
greatest art treasures of the various
lands of the earth in a short period
Of time, synbolized to me the present
world domination of the United

great art cannot retain it in the face

welcome an experience as finding a

attitude towards it that our sup

pared tc the bourgeois papers the
workers feel that it is their own and
that it is only as immature as the
labor movement which it repre-

whatever criticism it may receive,

Health
Things You Should Know
HYDROPHOBIA

An ancient term, but one which
comes before US every now and
then, with an acuteness that pales
the face with terror. In its lit
eral meaning, hydrophobia is "dread
of water" as "photophobia" is
dread of light. All "phobias" IN
medical language are breads.
"Rabies"-a shorter word, has its
origin in "rage"-madness-from
the French, hence, "mad-dog."
Other animals than the dog are
susceptible to rabies, the horse, the
cow, the cat-and the rodents, rats,
mice, ETC.; it has been suggested
| that the bite Of the skunk may bs
followed by hydropaobia. The poi-
son is one Of the most active
known, and, until the discovery OF
the Pasteur treatment, its pres
ence spelled certain death.
Something may be said here,
| that will prove of value to my
reader; if your pet suddenly shows
f. signs of illness, you should at
once put him into an absolutely
safe isolation, and summon
| skilled veterinary doctor. If your
! little dog begins to act strangely
A-shows no sign of affection for
you--hides himself-trernbles, as IL
excited or suffering, you cannot ba
too active in precaution; let ms
repeat, better be safe than sorry. j
In the very unfortunate event OF
YOUR being bitten by a dog, bear in.
mind that bite through clothing
is many times less liable to be fol-.
lowed by infection than one on
bare surface. Another point: The
dog that bites you should be im-
prisoned and watched to see II h@
| is actually diseased; to kill him and
burn his body is to destroy valu-
able evidence. !.

known in rural communities, has
