Lieutenant Governor Laurence W.
Cramer: Mr.. Vice Chairman. As indi.
Gated in the draft of ordinance as pre-
sented to the Council, this measure was
drawn uD in Washington and forwarded
to the Governor by the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior. Since then the
measure has been introduced in st.
Thomas and the Municipal Committee
of st. Thomas has proposed
a substitute bill. This bill was radioed to
Washington and the Secretary has RADIO
ed hack his suggestions. After those sug.
gestions were received, the Colonial
Council of St. Thomas met and consider
ed the bill and decided to have a meet.
ing of the Committee of the Whole last
Friday. In that Committee another SUBJ
stitute measure was proposed The stu.
alton is very complicated. but in order to
clarity the matter. and as there is no
sense in St. Thomas passing one bill and
st. Croix passing another, | W II present
copies of the various measures as they
have been proposed. One of these is
proposal by the St. Thomas Municipal
Committee, the second is a substitute
draft as suggested ny the Department of
the Interior and the third draft is pro-
posed by the subcommittee of the Whole

after Sword had been received from the
Assistant Secretary of the Interior as to
what changes should be made. After all
these had been mimeographed received
another change which was made in ST.
Thomas. The Colonial Council of St.
Thomas had had meeting and there
were a number of changes proposed.
Their new draft has this title: Draft of

changes have also been made in Sections
2 and3. This isa highly complicated affair
which it may be difficult to trace
through. Action should be taken on this
bill by the 10th of the present month
simply because the law granting the
bank of issuance concession to he Ma
tional Bank of the Danish West Indies
expires then. They are attempting to
have another meeting in St. Thomas on
the 14th to make amendments which
they might deem necessary. So | have
urged the Chairman to let the matter

I'VE appreciate on other hand desire of
bank to know definitely its position re-
speeding its circulating notes earliest
possible.
The arrangement for taking care of
notes not redeemed Dy June 20. 1885,
contained in our draft ordinance seems
fair to note holders and to bank. IreA-
sury takes position that this plan very
generous to bank and points out that
usually liquidating bank is required to
make a deposit of 100 per cent of the
amount of its outstanding circulating
notes. Ibis is the case with United
States National Banks and the advan-
tages enjOved by bank through c1nCinu-
ing the rate of redemp ion established in
1920, before the dollar was devalued
You will therefore, kindly advise
the bank that any arrangement less ia
orable to note holders cannot receive ap-
proval,
Draft ordinance contains no prescrip-
tive period for obligations of bank other
than obligations on its circulating notes
for following easoDs:
First: The ordinance is monetary
measure and IT preScrlptIve period for
other obligations is TO be established it
should more appropriately be contained
in another ordinance.
Second: We have not been sufficient.

1T would seem that no prescripti"e

made unless and until definite ar range
ments have been made for all ore ditors
to file with the bank, and an impartial
authority, notice of their claims and for
such impartial authority 10 pass upon the
validity of the claims disputed by the
bank. If such arrangements have been
or can be made and the bank arranges
to make payment upon all claims ap.

AG1N DOG BRADY

A while ago a reader, noting or Doc Brady's agnosticism in re- spect to the occurrence of rabies in
 man, kindly reported a case of reputed human rabies in Angola, Africa and suggested that the phy-
 sician, a missionary there, would
 give me the facts. I wrote the
 doctor, and have received a reply
 from him. It is lengthy and shall quote only enough to indicate the
 opinion of the doctor.
 The victim was a white woman who was bitten by rabid dog that attacked her in her garden one
 morning as she cut some flowers.
 The dog made six wounds on her
 right arm. She went immediately across the street to the govern
 ment hospital, where a nurse dressed the wounds with hot bichloride congresses and strong | tincture of iodin. Then she went to the government doctor, who did
 nothing, as he insisted there was
 no rabies in the province. But my informant felt that Pasteur vaccine should be given, and the vaccine was delivered b yairplane from
 Cape Town 12 days later. The doc | tor gave the first injection of the vaccine at once and repeated the | injections at 16-hour intervals, so that the patient received the four | teenth dose the twenty-fist day af- | ter she was often. On he twenty
 ninth day the first symptoms ap- peared, tingling and then pain | in the wounds, and "the usual
 symptoms of hydrophobia following during the next six days" death | coming the thirty-sixth day after | the dog-bite. In closing his letter my Angola colleague observes:
 Any patient of mine who has
 been bitten by a reputedly mad animal will receive strenuous local l sterilizing treatment and a com | plete series of anti-rabies vaccine
 as soon as I can secure the vac cine. Only by such procedure would | I feel that I had done justly by a | patient who had entrusted his life
 in my hands. | That is precisely the attitude and | opinion I formerly held. But today
 I should hate to inject Pasteur virus into my own bodyl, ana l should be still more reluctant to I inject it into the body of patient
 who had entrusted his life in my | hands.

SYNOPSIS

,
 ANN HOLLdSTER, pretty and 20, llnds work in q library. She falls i'm love with TONY 1l1CKLE, commercial artist, al. though warned against him by E SARAH KENT, her roommate.
 Later she meets PETER KEN DAHL, wealthy and prominent, who is engaged to VALERIA BENNETT, society girl. Valerla spends much of her time with a gay crowd without Peter knOw- inR about it.
 Tony asks Ann to marry him and she agrees. Although Tony has promised to "settlc down" and shve money he does not do this.
 Tony continues to be indefinite about plans for his and Ann's marriage. When he breaks date with her on Christmas Eve to ate tend n drinking party An breaks their engagement.
 She and Peter Kendall meet in a restaurant. Peter is disillusion- cd because he has learned how Valeria has deceived him. Ann and Peter discuss their mutual Inhappiness. He asks her to marry him and she agrees. They are married that night and set out for Florida.
 CHAPTER XIII
 Valeria's nervousness had worn off. She had refused to see friends who had called through the door and now, with evening coming on, she waiting expectantly for Peters call. He had had hours to think things over and to realize he had been hard and unjust. Surely he would not punish her the whole Christmas day. What day it had been! What an awful day after a horrible night before!
 One minute everyone had been having so much fun and the next there was Marvin Walters, drunk and waving a gun. Everybody try ing to get out of sight. Then the awful sound of the gun report and Dirk falling to the floor. Nobody knew who called the police. Prob ably 1t was that silly Peg Walters herself. When they realized Dirk was only slightly injured it was too late to do anything about 1t.
  day had been ruined-because of a jealous husband. When she and Peter married, Valeria thought, he would have to learn to control his jealousy. It would be horrible, having him make scenes like Mar win.
 Of course she knew he hadn't meant it when he said that they were through. If he had meant it, why hadn't he taken the ring ? Valeria slipped it on her finger again. It shone brilliantly. Reas- suringly.
 The maid came to the door. ..Shall I bring your dinner. Miss Valeria?"
 ..Yes. Then lay out my things, Lola" A belated Christmas dinner. but she was ready for it.
 Mrs Wainright opened the door. 1T heard you tell Lola you would dress"

 "Has Peter called?"
 "No. but he will"
 Hrs Wainright said. in a trou- bled tone. Mrs Kendall called tbis afternoon. She wanted to find Peter. She said he left the house after breakfast and hasn't been beck since"
 "In the mood he was in, he probably wouldn't come home. imagine he ate dinner at the club :" As Mrs Wainright continued to stare dubiousiy, Valeria broke out angrily, You act as though I had lost Peter for good. Look here!" She flashed her ring.

friendship, taking it for granted that was the only thing to do. You were born fearless and strong. can't imagine why you haven't gone to this friend and offered an explanation before this. That is the very best and wisest thing to do. should hate awfully to loose a friend of mine through a mean contemptible trick like the one played on you. I would do all in my power to straighten it out. l am glad you wrote me. Young people can't figure these things out some times and hold back losing many opportunities and friends, because of their lack of good judgement. Don't wait any longer explain the whole thing to the young man in- volved. It is bound to come out al- right. if you do this.

The morning newspaper had been brought to Mrs Kendall's bed, along with her grapefruit and cof- fee without cream.
 She was still strenuously en- gagged in "preserving" her figure and was proud that she had been successful in her battle to keep down flesh while so many of her friends had grown fat and double chinned.
 In an adjoining room Carol heard her mother groan. The groan was followed by an excited screech, which brought Carol flying to her bed.
 "Good heavens, mother! Are you ill?"
 Mrs Kendall held out the news paper and moaned again. We're dfsgraced! Look what Peter has done."
 Carol snatched the folded sheet from her mothers hand, read the headlines, and sank into 8 chair.
 "WhY don't you say something
 "If Peter has got himself in a mess" Carol said slowly. The has himself to blame. I don't see why I should cry about it."
 ''It's the mess he has got us into!" Mrs Kendall sobbed. "All this comes of Father Kendall en- couraging him in his queer ideas. Peter has never had the least mo- tion of what obligation to family tradition means. Oh, poor Valeria!"
 "Im not wasting sympathy on her after the stunt she pulled last night Carol said bluntly.
 "Valeria isn't perfect. perhaps, ' Mrs Kendall said, '.but we all know she has never loved anyone but Peter. It was a terrible thing for him to do."
 "Valeria is just fraud.' Carol said. I'm heartily in favor ot Peter's giving her the gate"
 And I suppose you're not wor- ried over Peter marrying some common creature he probably met on the street! If he had to dc something disgraceful why couldn't he have waited until the year after your debut?"
 "Darn my debut" Carol said.

"My skin Is quite smooth and lovely in spring and summer writes a woman who lives in a cold climate. "But during fall and winter 1t gets dry and rough. l can't understand why. I do the same routines the year around"
 Her last sentence tells the real story. You can't treat your complexion in the same fashion season in and season out and ex- pect it to react favorably all the time. Climate, after all, has a great deal to do with the condi- ton of any skin.
 In winter, the skin perspires less freely and therefore becomes dry and unattFactive. You simply have to include tissue softenct in your list of accessories.
 There are nourishing creams of course-rich, nice-smelling ones that are to be patted on face and throat at night after they have b n thoroughly cleaned and moistened with lotion to shrink the pores. Keep on batting until a good deal of the cream is ab sorbed. Then wipe off the excess Once a week, leave a little Of 1t or all night.
 A foundation lotion will keer cold winds from irritating your skin. Put it on a bit more lavish ly than you do in the summer. time. If you go in for wintel sports, it's a good idea to give yourself a facial, including the batting cream, before you start out. Repeat the treatment when you return.

There's this about catching things. You still can "catch" a disease in spite of exploded the- ories.
 I think the public is letting down its guard too much about germs.
 We always "shoot the whole works" when we get an idea. some scientists have proved that the germs of thus-and-such a disease die when they reach the air. All the magazines print it. And then suddenly the good readers shout By love, always thought this business of keeping folks out and disinfecting the boiling was nom sense. If it is true of such a dreadful disease a epizootic, It must true of all of them. Hey, Molly let the kids go in and play with Charlie. He's only got grippe anyway"
 Having just recovered, not quite. from grippe that inhaled from another member of the family, l think, Molly. that you'd better not.
 Germs Wander Far Who am to say how far germs get a free ride on a sneeze or how many can crowd on a towel? l | don't know a thing about germs except when they begin to dig for quartz rock in my spine and use my lungs for Bib Berthas and spit my brain wide open with dull axes: but can think aplenty.
 Furthermore, don't know just how international germs are. or whether Charlie's germs nave I passports to Jimmy or Su or both. | All I know is that grippe IS catching. And so are colds. And so is pneumonia and bronchitis and of course, flu. It is only sense to keep others out of the suspects path as much as possible.
 Isolation at Home
 Owe, at this stage of intelll- gence, need to be reminded that pillow slips and even beds or the "cold" patients (especially II we suspect a bit of temperature should be one-man affairs! UT towels or handkerchiefs?
 Not only should the afflicted pc kept in bed, but the other children should be kept away. What may be only a day-or-two's upset for strong hearty Charles may mean a long and severe illness for Sue or the baby. ~,- | It isn't always easy to do. No one knows better than I how nara it really is. But if it, is only a case of being hearted, let dad and the youngsters be as funny as thev like and get out the coal of mail we need for our hearts sometimes. I'd just say NO-and save myself extra nursing. (Copyright 1884 NEA Service lnc)

by a reputedly rabid dog receives Pasteur treatment and does not develop rabies we can draw no conclusion, for u n q u stionably many who have been bitten by a dog reputed to have rabies have not developed rabies, regardless of the nature of the treatment.
 On the other hand, in half of 15 cases of alleged human rabies in the Los Angeles County hospital in recent 10-year period, the pa tients received Pasteur treatment beginning day or so after the dog bite, but the illness, whatever 1t was, terminated fatally in all 15 cases alike. We can draw no de- finite conclusion from that. either, but if Pasteur virus prevents rabies how come it failed in 100 per cent of these cases?
 No Pasteur virus for nine, if you please. If I am bitten or wounded by an animal presumed to have rabies I'll rely on thorough surgi- cal disinfection of the wound, an immediate prophylactic injection or antltetanus serum and a second prophylactic injection of antitetan' us serum one week later.
