YOUR HEALTH.
By DIR, NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal OF the American
Medical Association and Of Hy-
geia. the Health Magazine

Under the auspices of the Medi-
cal Research Council of Great Brit
ain, two investigators, DIR. p. P.
Laidlow and Mr.. G. w. Dunkin,
have completed period of five
years of experimentation with the
indication that it is now going to
be possible to conquer the disease,
distemper in dogs.
They were not able to isolate
a causative organism but they
were able to get infectious mate
rial with which to develop dis
temper in animals.
The experiment showed tina,
the disease is infective in its frs.
phase of fever, even before the
general symptoms appear: that
the nasal discharges are uniform
ly infective at first. and that it is
possible for the disease to be
transferred from one animal to
another through the air over very
short distances.
Isolation of infected animals At
the earliest possible stage would
probably do much to stop the
spread of the disease. wherein
the crowding together of animals
is responsible for it's spread.
Agent Is Tiny Organism
The infective agent is one o.
those tiny organisms too small to
he seen with the microscope
filtrable through filters which will
hold back visible bacteria.
The disease can be transferred
from one animal to another by In
jecting the healthy animal with
very minute amounts of blood or
tissue taken from a diseased ami :!
NAL.
1t was found that at the time or
acute stage Of the disease the
spleens of ferrets and later the
spleens of dogs contained enough
of the injecting agent to permit
the making of a vaccine with which
the non-infected animal could
be inoculated against the disease.
When animals were thus inoculat-
ed and permitted to develop re-
sistance and later inoculated with
the disease. they did not become
ill.
In order to carry out the ex-
pertinent on a large scale, 1926
hounds belonging to fifteen differ
cnt packs of hounds were treated
with the vaccine. Other hounds OF
the same stock, running with
those which had been immunized.
were used as controls.
Vaccine Effective
Since that time distemper has
broken out on several occasions in

We were safely out OF earshot.

"You know It," she replied re-

She stopped and looked at me ap-

Woman Is Head OF School For Opeatc Singers

South Bend. Ind, Jan. II R~A
school of opera. where classics OF
the metropolitan stage are sung ex-
clusively in English. provides a
stepping-stone to fame for South
Bends aspiring singers.
Mrs. Olive Maine, who left the
professional stage for domestic
life, originated the plan whereby
volunteer players might gain oper-
attic schooling without going
abroad. Under her tutelage. a
coterie of youthful artists already
has presented five operas including
"Cavalleria Rusticana" and Eli
jah."
Herself a former member Of the
Chicago Civic Opera company and
the American Opera company. Mrs.
Maine knows the tricks of back
stage as well as the art of present.
ing involved productions. So i'm
pressive was the showing of her
troupe that group of native Ital-
ians requested a special perform
ance of 'Rigoletto."
Mrs. Names students, all volun-
teers. first study the opera to be
presented. They set up scenery
and stage effects, patterned after
professional models, in addition to
learning their arias.
More recentb American operas
have been studied in preference to
productions Of the European
school, principally because they
are better adapted for English
presentation.
South Bends musical world,
which claims the distinction of
having the only resident opera COM
rany outside metropolitan circles,
centers around Mrs. Names school.
Her students also sponsor special
musicales and choral programs.

Farmer Browns Boy Hears q COM

BY Thornton W. Burgess
Never to conclusions jump,
Lest you fall and get q bump.
Old Mother Nature
New Britain herald., 1929-01-17

Who stole the chickens? That is
what Farmer Browns Boy was
wondering. You see, one OF his
neighbors who lives a mile or so up
the road had come to complain to
Farmer Brown that Fox had ''een
stealing his chickens and that that
Fox lived in the Old Pasture. He
wanted that Fox trapped or shot.
Farmer Browns Boy had overheard
all this.
"Of course" said Farmer Browns
Boy to himself. 1T must be true
that Fox has been taking the
chickens and, of course, 1t may be
that Reddy Fox, or Mrs. Reddy,
who live up in the Old Pasture, or
perhaps both OF them. have done
this. But somehow don't believe
it. You see, ever since the big Storm
have been feeding them. l don't
believe they have been hungry
enough to take the chance of steal
ing chickens"
what 1 want" said the neighbor
to Farmer Brown, 'is for you to
give me permission to set two or
three traps up there in the OLD
Pasture. Two Foxes have den up
there and, of course, it is one Of
those Foxes. or perhaps both OF
them, who have stolen my chick
ems"
Perhaps" said Farmer Brown,
1T is some other Fox"
The neighbor shook his head. II
have followed the tracks straight
up into the Old Pasture" said he.
Il know you don't like to have
traps set on your place, but neither
do like o have my chickens stol-
en-. Now, what do you say"
Let me think it over" said
Farmer Brown. 1T is fact that I
don't want traps set on my place.
My boy used to set traps, but he
doesn't any more. However, II I am
convinced that It is either or both
of the Foxes that live up in the Old
Pasture. I'll see that they are taken
however. that they are the ones who
are guilty."
The neighbor agreed to this ana
finally went off. Farmer Browns
Boy at once asked if he might look
into the matter and see If he could
find out whether or not Reddy Or
Mrs. Reddy was the guilty Fox.
Farmer Brown nodded his head.
"Of course you may. Son." said he,
and I don't mind telling you that
I hope you will find that it was
some other Fox altogether"
SO that afternoon Farmer
Browns Boy tramped up to his
neighbor's house and went out to
soc he tracks in the snow. He look
d Mt them long and hard. Then he
rocket. What are you doing now ?'
asked the neighbor.
Tin measuring one of these foot
prints replied Farmer Brown s
Boy.
Wat good does that do?" askea
the neighbor.
"We4l.' replied Farmer Browns
Boy. 'it looks little larry TO me.
That is, it looks larger than the

Just follow those tracks right back

ENGLISH PENOLOGIST
TO TALK. ON CRIMES
Address to Be Given Before League
to Abolish Capital
Punishment.

Sensational accounts have been cur
rent in England for years of executions
OF men with child mentalities in the
United States, according to e. Roy. Cal
vert. noted British .penologist, who will
address an anti-capital punishment
mass meeting here Friday night.
The lecturer is aware, however, that
a misunderstanding exists between the
people Of England and the United
States with regard to crime conditions
and penal methods, and that the facts
are often distorted in the transmission
across the Atlantic.
MIR. Calvert hopes to obtain informa-
ton through an extensive survey OF
American prisons which will enable him
to correct the misconceptions of his
countrymen and at the same time to
give Americans a clearer picture Of the
crime situation in England.
:. Mr.. Calvert is of the opinion that
England'S low homicide rate Is attribut.
able more to the efficiency of British
police in arresting offenders than to
any fear of execution.
The meeting Mr.. Calvert is to ad.
dress here Is sponsored by the newly
organized chapter, American League t.

speakers include Charles w. Darr, pres.
ident OF the Washington Chamber Of
