Qgbts of NeW York, BY WALTER rRumBul1

Joseph V. Mckee. present mayor
OF New York, told me recently that
he believed opportunity never had
been so bright for youngsters as 1t
is today. He said there was no
limit TO where industry. ability and
character might take them. He EN-.
phasized the room at the top by
pointing out that of all the mil
lions of men in the United States
those considered of Presidential
| timber in both the great political
parties could be counted on one
mans fingers.
Herbert Bayard Swope also be-
lieves that this Is an era of op-
portunity for youngsters He says
those starting the game of life at
this particular time will be stronger
men. because they will have to be.
Only the best and hardest will sur
vive.
A friend Of mine says his consola-
tion for not being rich enough to
run large yacht is that he doesn't
have to work to support a captain
and engineer and run sailors
boarding house.
A surgeon tells me that the ossi-
fed man in the circus really rep
| resents an advanced case of arthri-
tis. He further says that arthritis
is one disease doctors know little
about. They treat 1t according to
various theories, but do not actu-
ally know why it comes or why 1t
goes. Another statement he made,
which was new to me, was that in
fiammatory rheumatism is a conta-
gious disease.
The man who relates this story
told it of Lewis Perry, head of
Phillips Exeter academy. Whether
it is true, | don't know, but it might
happen to any educator. Anyhow.
when he was young Doctor Perry is
supposed to have laid out a course
of forty-minute lectures, which he
figured would give him material
enough to talk once a week from
September to May. According to
the story, he had all the notes writ.
ten consecutively in a small book.
He started off nobly and talked
fast. When he exhausted the notes
for the first lecture, he looked at
his watch and saw that five min
utes had gone, so he used the
notes for the second lecture. AT the
end OF eighteen minutes. he was
through January. At The thirty-tive
minute mark, he had reached May
and was out of notes, with five min
utes to go. He spoke a bit extern
pOraneously and then inquired
whether anybody wanted TO ask any
questions. Nobody asked any ques-
tions, so be dismissed the class One
student fingered. This was highly
gratifying. Here was one boy who
wished TO" discuss matters.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-11-18

"Have TO leave you here, j. D."
he told his horse. I'm playin' for
time, old fellow. and you're too big
to hide. So can't take you along"
Wilson made his way back TO
the upper end of the park. The big
rocks offered the best cover he had
seen for q last stand.

Authorities Fail to Find Animal-HeaIth Officer Expresses Belief Dog Was Not Mad-WilI Be Tested for Rabies If Caught
SEEK LARGE DOG
 NEAR COURT HOUSE

Mad dog" was the cry sent out through the Field street-Lcavcn- worth street area late this morning following the attack on a small girl by an apparently maddened ca nine. The young daughter of Mr and Mrs Edward Hamel of 51 Field street, not yet of school age. was badly bitten about the face by the animal today as she was playing about her house. Immediately af- rewards her parents notified Dog Warden Coleman O'Loughlln and reported to Dr F. J. Godfrey of the health department with the child.
 Following first aid attention m the health department the little girl was taken to the Chase dis pensary where she was treated Tn accordance with Health Officer Dr F. J. God d.rcy's instructions.
 Dr Godfrey. when interviewed. stated that he doubted that the dog was suffering from rabies. However. he explained, the animal should be taken into the dog pound and examined.
 Immediately after the attack on the dog, Dog Warden O'Loughlin was on hand at, the health dcpart- ment office and looked over the little Hamef girl. He immediately started out on a search for the animal. Shortly after the girl was bitten by the dog report was received 'to the effect that an an.- mai resembling the one seen on Field street was prowling around the rear of the county building at Leavenworth street and Kcndrick avenue.
 A hurried search there, however. failed to show any sign of the dog. Dr Godfrey stated today that there is no evidence of rabies existing among dogs in Waterbury. However, he said. if the dog re- sponsible for the attack on the Hamel child Is found he will be thoroughly examined. according to the lines laid down by medical science. The dog was described as large and very dark black in color.
