animals Are Found Susceptible
To Complicated Human ILLS

When Fido ailS don't be too sure
that it's lust cold" or stomach
ache, or a sore throat, or the itch.
1t may well be flu, appendicitis, ton
silitis or eczema. Humanity, un-
fortunately, has no copyright on these
diseases. Indeed, even the most ex-
elusive ailments which humanity
prides itself upon, such as anemia or
menengitis, may be had by any dog
or cat. So testifies DR.. j. E. Currey,
veterinarian.
The ordinary, or non-dog- owning
mortal generally thinks that the two
greatest enemies of dogdom are dis
temper and traffic, but such cases
are decidedly in the minority.
It is not strictly true that dogs
get appendicitis, but they have
thing called a secum which is about
the same size and just as trouble
some. DR.. Currey has extracted great
numbers of them. Human instru-
ments are always used. Among the
most frequent operations a veter-
mary performs is the caesarian, most
frequently made necessary by mis-
mating. DR.. Currey has performed
it twice on the same dog, who still
frisks about as unconcernedly as ever.
Infected cuts, skin diseases and
broken bones are not so hard to man
age, the doctor said. DiStemper is

almost isn't disease at all Like the
common cold, it lowers the resistance
of a dog so that any otherwise inocu-
GUS germ may develop into a serious
ailment and sometimes several at
once The difficulty is that one
doesn't know what disease the dis
temper will turn into until it has
already turned. However, its ap-
proach may now be discovered few
days in advance by the blood count,
because the balance of white and red
corpuscles shifts to a great degree.
The cause of distemper remains as
unknown as the cause Of the COM
mon cold. Both are fllterable viruses,
which means that neither can be
caught and segregated in the finest
filter possible to make.
But the chief danger in animal
diseases, as with human, said DR..
Currey, is that too long a time is
allowed to pass before anything Is
done about them.

All the composers on the program

at the suggestion Of the German En-

the Berlin-D Dusseldorf line with a
group of three Bavarian folksongs,
charmingly interpreted by a quartet
of native Bavarians, dressed in the
national costume.
Bach First on Program.
Beginning with a lofty adagio from
Bach, the program continued with
one of his jovial gigues. A largo

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. December
17.-In my opinion, the three out
standing performers in American films
in 1885 were Katharine Hepburn, Vic
tor McLaglen and Charles Laughton.
Also, in my opinion, the three best
films were THE Informer," Les
Miserables" and "A Tale of Two
Cities"
In a class by itself, among pictures,
let me rank "Sequoia," Chester Frank
Inns story of friendship between a
deer and mountain lion.
In a class by herself, among play
ers, is Shirley Temple.
Likewise I would dispose of Freddie
Bartholomew and his portrayal of the
young David Copperfeld. 1t is not
fair, in my opinion, to pit adult play
ers against such competition in COM
parsons.
Outstanding Performances.
Miss Hepburn is selected for her
characterization in Alice Adams" the
only dominant feminine film portrait
of the year. IN any year, think, her
portrayal of the Small-town girl who
wanted so painfully to be lin the
swim" could be cited.
I name Victor McLaglen for his
Gyppo Nolan in THE InformerP His
bull of a man with the brain of a
child" remains in memory as a Iv-
ing, breathing. sweating human ami
NAL, stupid with drink and dumb with
fear, rather than as a mere perform
ance on celluloid.
Charles Laughton gets my bow for
three roles: Inspector Javert in LES
Miserables,' Capt. Bligh in "Mutiny
on the Bounty" and "Ruggles of Red
Gap" Javert and Bligh may have GER
tain similarities, but each is a sensi-
tive, finely shaped portrait of twisted
psychology. Laughton made me be-
lieve-and understand-both of them.
His blending of comedy and restrained
emotion as Ruggles clinches the argu-
ment.
Five Great Films.
In surveying the years films have
considered, with trepidation, the great
variety of the annual motion picture
menu. In selecting three my opinion
waverS for fourth, fifth, and more,
THE Informer" is listed because
John Ford's direction made a moving
picture-a real moving picture-from
the ordinarily poor screen material
of character study. Ford used his
camera to tell the story of an Irish
Judas simply, directly, powerfully.
The result is vital, attention-riveting
drama that packs a wallop.
Les Miserables" is chosen for its

Christmas Night.

The famous Scrooge of the Dickens
Christmas carol, always part of
the Roosevelt Christmas celebration,
will take on a new reality in the
executive mansion this year.
The President, it is learned, has
accepted the offer of a British film
company to show the picture en-
titled, rooge"-adapted from the
Dickens work-at the family party
in the executive mansion Christmas
night.
At Christmas it is customary for
Mr.. Roosevelt to read to an assem-
bled household his favorite Yuletide
story. The lines of Scrooge are
dramatically rendered as the plot
unfolds.
This family rite is so widely known
that the British company wanted to
give its film production of the story
a place in the Christmas festivities
of Americas first family. Their offer
to make the film available has been
accepted by Mr.. Roosevelt.

HOEPPEL RETR|AL
ON PLOT IS SOUGHT
Statement PreiudiCiaI to
Defendants Charged
to Prosecutor.

Representative John H. Hoeppel Of
California and his son, Charles j..
Hoeppel, who were convicted last week
of conspiring to sell West Point ap-
pointment for $1,000, asked Justice
Daniel w. O'Donoghue In District Su-
preme Court yesterday to grant them
q new trial.
The motion was filed by Attorneys
Kenneth N Parkinson, Samuel T..
King and Arthur G. Brode. The name
of Mai, Gen. Samuel T Ansell, chief
of counsel during the trial, did not ap-
pear on the application.
s. The motion cited the conduct Of
Assistant United States Attorney David
A. Pine, who during the trial called
Representative Hoeppel a "monu-
mental liar" This, it was claimed.
was prejudicial to the defendants.
MistriaI Declaration Asked.
Immediately after Pine made his
allegedly "prejudicial" statement, de-
fense attorneys asked the court to de-
clare a mistrial, but Justice ODon-
oghue refused their request.
The prosecutor explained that what
he said was in response to a state
ment to the jury by Attorney King
that, lin order to return verdict In
this case of guilty against John H.
Hoeppel, you have to say that not only
is he guilty of this conspiracy, but ne
is guilty of deliberate perjury COM
mitted in your presence here today.
To this assertion Pine replied:
so, when my friends say To con-
vict him you have to find him per-
iurer.' I say to you that he has made
himself a monumental liar and per-
jurer of the first water"
At Liberty on $1,000 Bond.
The Representative and his son
have been at liberty under $1,000 bond
each since their conviction Thursday
night.
Three others convicted in District
Supreme Court Thursday of con-
spiracy also filed a motion yesterday
for a new trial. They are John w.
Harderove, former assistant chief con-
feree of the Internal Revenue Bureau;
Henning r. Nelson, bureau auditor,
and Frank B. McElhill, New York in
come tax consultant.
They were convicted of ccnspiring
70 "flx" a $4,000 tax on the 1882 in
come of Thomas N. McCarter, New
Jersey utilities magnate, whose COM
plant to Treasury Secretary Morgen-
thau resulted in their arrest. They
now are in jail awaiting sentence.
