DEATH FROM RABIES
 IS RARE IN CONN.
No Fatal Case Since 1917 in
 Health Department Records

During the ten year period 1915 lc 1921 inclusive, 5%0 people in the United States registration area died of rabies. Only three of these deaths occurred in Connecticut. No death from this cause has been reported in Connecticut since 11l7.
 For the first eight months Of 1927 one death from rabies was re- ported in Massachusetts, one in New York and four in New Jersey. No deaths from this cause were report ed in Connecticut and Rhode Island
 People contract rabies from ani- mals, usually dogs. Since 1906 the Connecticut state department of health laboratories have examined l.l0S heads of animals for rabies. of which 547 were positive and 541 negative. In l5 instances the brains were dccomposel or had been in Jurcd in killing the animal so that satisfactory tests could not be made.
 Connecticut has been fortunate in having no rabies in humans since iI17, while the states of Massachu- setts. New Jersey, New York and Khod" Island, with a combined pop ulation of l3 times that of connoc- tlCut, have lost Fl of their citizens from the disease during the same period.

 Although Congressional action fixes June 30, 1929, as the date Of it's expiration, Mrs. Park forosccs no let-up in the work even at that date,
 We believe the work done under this law, which has proved ben eficial 10 thousands of women and children, will not be permitted to lapse" Mrs. Park said.
 Ky the provisions Of the act which was passed in l922. an annual appropriation of S1.240,o00 is divided among those states whose legislatures appropriate an amount to match the allotment offered by the federal gbVernnont. The offer was made for a five year period with two year renewal clause
 Excepting only Maine. Connccti- cut. Illinois, Massachusetts. and Kansas. all states took advantage Of the bill. Hawaii accepted Inc offer, however, as late as 1924. The money is spent on maternity wei fare with special attention 10 pre- natal care of mothers and babies.

A Change Is Made In Date For
Hunting Upland Game.

The Acts of 1927, Chapter 566, pro-
vides for an open season on upland
game, November 10 to December 81.
Heretofore, the season closed with
shutdown, January l. However, the
new law effective June /, closes the
season with shutdown, Saturday, De-
cember 81. 1t will therefore be unlaw-
full for any person to hunt upland
game after shutdown December 81, and
any person apprehended for hunting
during the closed season will be pros
ecuted to the full extent of the law,
according to a bulletin from the State
Conservation Department.
The penalty for this misdemeanor
is not less than S25 nor more than
500 for each offense, plus the costs.
The season for wildfowl is November
I to January 81. This law is State
wide and conforms with the Federal
law. Therefore, wildfowl may be
hunted lawfully until January 81.
The open season for muskrat and
otter is January l to March Is, in
elusive.
The department solicits the cooper
alton of the public in general in OBJ
serving these laws.
