'PAVLOYA'S PET
 SWAN KILLED
One of Pair That Gave Her Inspiration for Famous
 Dance

London (UP) One of Madams Anna Pavlova's pet swans has died of grief over the death of her famous mistress. The other is fast fretting himself into a decline.
 They were the cherished pets of the dancer, who drew from them the inspiration of her famous "Dy- ing Swan" dance, and who was fre- photographed beside them in the garden of her Hampstead. London, home.
 Since the death of Pavlova last January, the swans, known as Jack and Clara, have been moping. Clara refused to take food, and Jack &C., cepted it only from the hands of the gardener, who had tended the birds for 15 years.
 Recently Clara was found dead beside the beautiful artificial lake in the garden, with her head under wing. and Jack is alone in his grief.
 The swans were greatly attached to Pavlova. When they heard her voice on the terrace they would leave the lake and go across the grass to meet her, taking bread and scraps from her hand. She could do anything she liked with them. though they were sometimes fierce with other people.
 When Pavlova died, it was as if they knew. They gave up wander ing about the garden and kept to the lake. missing angrily at anyone who approached.

SHRINE'S FIRE
 HISTORY GIVEN
Mount Vernon Supt Files First Data in Reply to
 Critic

Washington Criticism has been made at various times of the fire protectiye machinery at Mount Ver- non. and in answer to this com plete history of fire protective ap- paratus at the old mansion overlook ing the Potomac, viewed by thou- sands of curious tourists every year. has been compiled by Harrison n. Dodge, resident superintendent.
 The first installation of fire-fight ing apparatus at Mount Vernon other than the old leather buckets used in Washington's time, Dodge reparts, was in 1891. when four 100- gallon chemical tanks were placed in an underground crypt in the fore- court, This was added to little later by a battery of motor chemicals to which Henry Ford contributed an autochemical engine.
 Shingles Treated
 Next all the wooden shingles or the ancestral home of the first Pres- ident were treated specially. They are packed underneath with "rock- wood", a non-conductor. preventing a fire spreading from the roof to the interior of the mansion.
 In 1914 system of three-inch mains and hoses was laid out, cap able of delivering 90 gallons a min ute. Then in 19123 a reservoir con- taining 250,000 gallons, fed from the river, was placed at the top of an adjacent hill. Mains from this reservoir feed into the mansion sys- tenn through a force pump in the old ice house which is capable of driv- ing 750 gallons minute at 100 pounds pressure.
 Electricity Replaces Kerosene
 A fire detecting system which in. simultaneously sounds an alarm at the appearance of blaze has been in- stalled and the old fashioned kero- sene lamps have been removed to make way for modern electric power plant devised by Thomas Edf- son which does all the cooking, light ing, refrigerating and pumping for the stately home. A hot water heat ing plant has been installed under ground 400 feet away from the man. sion and takes the place of the old fashioned open fireplaces.
 An anecdote related by Dodge best attests the efficiency of the system, which is tested daily. A com mittee was delegated by the interna- tional convention of fire chiefs about four years ago to examine and rem-
 
 tems for fire protection at Mount Vernon. The committee was appoint ed by the convention after a report that Mount Vernon was without ade- quate protection.
 Committee Surprised The committee came unheralded and demanded that they be shown what protection from Are was afford ed the historic home. They came at the noon hour when mos tof the guards would be at lunch in order to make the test more difficult.
 Within 54 seconds" Dodge says, 'the chemical apparatus reached the mansion and ladders and hoses were ready for action. In seven sec onds less than two minutes four hose lines were laid and the pressure on.
 "The chiefs looked at each other in astonishment and exclaimed: Let's go home?"

SAN ANTONIO
 HONORS SAINT

San Antonio. Tex (UP)-This city will pay homage July 13 to it's namesake and patron saint-St An thony.
 Solemn ceremonies recalling the 18th Century. with high church dignitaries officiating. will mark the seventh centenary celebration of the death of St Anthony here and wherever Catholics gather throughout the rest of the world.
 St Anthony was described by Pope Leo III as "the saint of the whole world" Eighteenth Century Catholics knew him as the wonder worker of their church.

The foundation suggests innocula- tion against rabies as the most as- surfing peace of mind" measure now available. This can be done by a competent veterinarian.
 When 8 dogs actions suggest rabies, it should not be killed unless it cannot be caught with safety. On the contrary, 1t should be securely kenneled and observed for at least two weeks. A veterinarian should immediately examine the dog, which should, if possible, be placed in his custody for the observation period. If the dog remains well and healthy. 1t may be released and the person bitten need have no fear of con- tracting rabies; if, on the other hand, the dog has rabies, it will manifest symptoms during the ob- servation period. The person bit- ten. of course, should have the im- mediate attention of physician, who should start the Pasteur anti rabic treatment if the dog Is known to be rabid.

HOLES IN GROUND
 COST MILLIONS
MOffat Tunnel Is Most Famous; Cost Over
 Million

Denver, Colo. (UP)-Millions of dollars have been thrown into holes in the ground" in Colorado.
 Known for the gorgeous vista presented by her mountains, Colo rado may become famed for the length and quantity of her tunnels. Already she has some of the most famous in the country.
 The Moffat Tunnel is the most famous of all and was constructed at cost of millions of dollars, for railroad use, as cutoff through the mountainsI The tunnel hardly had gotten we'll under way until it was the subject of a controversy which had gone through most of the courts in the land, not to mention the interstate commerce commits sion.
 Railroads, and taxpayers. who must pay for the tunnel, are battling over its uses.
 The big bore is 6:4 miles in length, and is but one of 52 tunnels on the Denver and Salt Lake Rail way between Denver and Craig. Colo. Altogether the tunnels total some 10.6 miles.
 The Denver and Rio Grande w eStcTHp dHOtHcT I&itouos 1As@S AAAoA V miles of tunnels in Colorado.
 A five-mile tunnel carries irriga- tion water from the Gunnison river to the Uncompaghre valley.
 The Busk- -Ivanhoe tunnel, a part of state highway Uo. 104, near the once famous mining camp of Lead vile, Colo, is nearly two miles long.
 The Shoshone tunnel. a water tun- mel, near Glenwood Springs, totals more than two miles in length. There is a AS mile tunnel at Idaho Springs.
 But by far the greatest mileage in tunnels in Colorado is in mine tunnels far beneath the surface of the Rockies.
 In one mine alone, the Frederick, in Las Animas county, the total un- derground tunnel system is nearly 30 miles.
 A state bulletin places the total cost of tunnels in the state at hun dreds of millions of dollars" and refuses to make even a guess as to the total length of the human bur- rows.

Hoover Proposal
 Revives Market
Iaame&ate Response the Past Week Serves to Prove
 Previous Assertion of Liquidation
NEA New york Bureau.

ities during the past few days has been encouraging but not enough to occasion any hesitation in buying. The risk in such purchases is greatly minimized. Floating supplies have as repeatedly noted in these advices -been reduced almost to the van- ishing point; and there is no longer danger that weak holdings will be forced upon the market. Even the bank liquidation seems largely to have run it's course. Profit-taking sales there will always be, but, granting a continuance of the spirit of the past few days, buyers should be much more plentiful, and offer ings ought to be easily absorbed. The stocks that have been so freely sold for months past have been taken by strong buyers, and will not see the light again for a good while mot until values are much higher than at present. As for the snort interest, 1t has been reduced dur ing the past week, but Is still or considerable proportions. as traders operating for 8 prolonged period on the down side always die hard. There would seem to be no reason to question the improvement of the markets prospects as the program of the government grows more de- finite and better adapted to the re- auirements of the situation. Grant ing such a conduct of affairs. 1t may well be that the long awaited turn In affairs" has arrived. and that investors are now granted an un- usual opportunity to i'll their port folios at prices which, in most in- stances, are well below intrinsic values.

Lack of medical testimony to substantiate the police's statements alleging q violation of the motor ve- hicle law resulted in the discharge this morning of Raymond Cuddy, 2s. of 36 Riverside Drive, Nauga- tuck. The young man was arrested Thursday morning at shortly before i o'clock by Patrolman Charles Mo- Ian end charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor. It was stated that Cuddy walked and talked satisfactorily. At the time of his arrest he was en- deavoring to quiet boisterous com panion.
 Judge John F. McGrath ruled the evidence insufficient without a doc tors statement.
 Samuel Perro. 29, of 357 South Leonard street was ordered to post a bond, agreeing to pay his wife S1O q week for the period of one year. Probation Officer Nicholas Combellack was instructed yester- day morning to visit the home of the accused and verify the statements of Mrs Perro that there was no food iii the house for herself or her two children. Perro claimed there was plenty. The probation officer was unable to find any evidence to in- dicate plenty or even sufhciency for one meal. Mrs Perro testified yesterday that her husband has been eating at his mothers home, while

BEWARE OF THE
 PRIVATE PONDS
Many of Them Are Death Traps and Should Be
 Given a Wide Berth
WATCH THE CHILDREN

During this warm weather there is rush to the shore and other bathing places. Children should be warned not to enter private ponds and old folk would make no mis- take in avoiding them, too. Water- bury and nearby towns have many bathing places which one enters at great risk. Most of them are fed from springs and have dangerous holes where the water is deeper than the bather suspects.
 At this season many drowning ac- cidents are reported all over the country. It is only reasonable to as- sume that people who are old enough to guard against these death traps can be depended upon to look out for themselves, but 1t is dif- ferent with children, hence the reason why parents should keep a close eye on their movements and See that they are not permitted to risk their lives in an effort to keep cool.

FAIR AND WARMER
 WEATHER COMING
Mercury Climbed to 80 Yesterday and May Go
 Higher To-day
SEEK A COOL PLACE

Fair and warmer was the weather prediction for Waterbury and vii cinity over the weekend.
 Yesterday the mercury climbed to S9. Shortly before noon hour to- day there was every indication of this mark being passed. although it was not generally expected that this section of the country would expe- rience the terrible heat wave that has held many states in a grip for the past forty-e eight hours A refreshing breeze and light rain fall cleared the sultry atmos- phere little late last evening. Early in the evening the various municipal parks and nearby resorts were crowded with thousands of people seeking relief.
 To-day's midsummer weather was not of the brand that made last Saturday the warmest June goth in many years. The temperature reg Iistered 97 week ago.
 A general exodus of persons nav ing summer homes was in evidence at noon hour. Thousands plan to spend Sunday at the shore or in the country.

Facts Of Dog
 Rabies Revealed
Sensible Attitude of Public Urged Weater Goes
 Hard on All Animals, Dogs in Particular

A pea for calm sanity and a com nonsense attitude by the Waterbury public on the subject of rabies was issued to-day by the Chapel Kennel Foundation, Rockford, Illinois.
 Entirely too many superstitious ideas still surround the subject, ac- cording to the foundation. Super stition has it, for instance, that dogs are much more likely to go mad during summer dog days" than at any other time of the year. The fact is that rabies is no more com mon in August than in January, and rare at any time. It is heard of more in summer because of the greater outdoor freedom of both men and animals. What often ap- pears to the average person to be rabies is recognized by the experi- cnced dog breeder as such common ailments as running fits, convulsions, indigestion, sun-stroke, etc.
 There would be many less ''mad dog" episodes if strangers avoided betting or teasing dogs who are made irritable and uncomfortable by the heat as much as man, the foundation states. Contrary to the general belief. there need be no nySterla when an excess or SahVa from the dogs mouth Is noticed. Dogs more than other animals suf- fer unmercifully from lack of water and a cool, quiet place to rest. A horse can sweat through his skin and be cooled by the evaporating moisture, but a dog can only pant Dogs sweat mostly through the tongue and when uncomfortable, perfectly healthy dogs frequently slobber and foam at the mouth.
 Exercising dogs on a lead strap is an excellent precautionary meas ure. It should be borne in mind that a really mad dog flies forward aimlessly instead of going deliber- ately from one to another and does not attack unless provoked or an- noyed, so that person keeping out of his path is safe. <

New York. June 27.--After 8 week during which stagnation had been intense the proposal of Presi- dent Hoover for war debt holiday came like breath of fresh air into closed room. The response of the market has been immediate, show ing what has been contended in these advices all along-that busi- ness conditions had been thorough ly liquidated, and that the conn munity only need the right leader ship to resume it's activity and to move back to levels of value for se- curities that are more nearly repre- sentative of true values. With such an impetus, 1t is not strange that prices have shown marked capa- city to rebound. Their recovery as yet must be regarded as only par tial, and there is still good way to go and large gains of value to be won, before it can reasonably be asserted that the general level of prices has atttained really normal figure. This situation holds out strong inducement to the investor with funds ready for use; and in dicates the beginning of new era in market history. It is welcome relief.
