PROBLEMS DELAY
ACTION AT TRIAL
Entangling Questions in
WOman's Suit Pro-
longs Decision

When does new car become old
and how rapidly does its value de-
cline? That Is only one Of the many
entangling questions making the
suit OF Mrs. Lillian Relyea against
the Pacific Fire Insurance and the
General Auto Sales Corp, Of Hart
ford long drawn out affair.
The trial Of the suit started more
than two weeks ago, and In that Pc
Rod several technical questions have
arisen. Another vexing question Is
whether a person with car insur-
ed for fire damage can collect more
than the market value Of the car
In the event Of total loss by fire.
Mrs. Relyea, who owned 1885
Auburn supercharger, insured by
fire with the defendant company,
was offered $500 in.full settlement
when her car was totally burned.
She claims the loss was $2025.
1t was disclosed at the trial to-
day that the car was first bought
from the factory by the General
Auto Sales Corp. in April, 1885.
During the period between the pur-
chase and the sale to Mrs. Relyea
the car was used as dealers dem
onstrator and driven almost 1900
miles. During the period Of the
J demonstration 1t was involved In an
| accident which required about $500
repairing. During the time Of its
use as a demonstration, however, 1t
was never registered.
The suit, which Is being heard
by Judge John A. Cornell In super
Tor court Is not expected to be
completed this week.

WA Dsmoeratie Editors &c Saying
WHEN PREJUDICE RULES


Chester Davis does not see eve Ia
eye with the Securities Exchange
Commission and with Congress re-
garding publicity for large salaries
and incomes. The Securities Ex-
change Commission and Congress
hold 70 the view that what the cor
porati0ns pay in salaries should be
public property, whereas Mr.. Davis
is opposing resolutions in Congress
requiring publication Of names and
addresses Of all persons who re-.
ceive n excess Of $1,000 in the way
Of subsidies IRON the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration.
Mr.. Davis contends that "unethi-
cal use might be made Of this con
tract information Il it were made
public and fell into the hands OF
those who might wish to exploit the
contract signers commercially Or
otherwise" He declares that these
contracts were an agreement be-
tween the Secretary Of Agriculture
and the individual contract signers"
and that they are confidential.
That is just the argument cOrpor-
ations have made. To be compelled
to make public what executive re-
ceived would be to violate a conf
Dental relationship, disclose terms
Of a confidential contract, to subject |
the recipients to annoyances from
commercial interests seeking to ex-
plot them and create internal jeal-
Ousies. The letter Of Mr.. Davis
might have been written by cor
poFation board OF directors opposing
the Securities Exchange Commits
sion's demand for publication Of
corporation salaries. The arguments
Of the one are the arguments Of the
other, with this difference:
The corporations argue against
publicity for salaries paid by a pri-
cate concern to employees and Off
GERS privately employed; Mr.. Davis
argues against publicity for subsid-
les paid by the Government out of
public funds. What a Government
pays in subsidies ont of the public
treasury and to whom is of more
public interest and Of more public
than what a private cor I
DoratiOn pays out Of the corpora

FEAR WAVE or RABIES
VIII GMEEp GTI

Z WIND NV mi % - = -
A wave of rabies is predicted TO
sweep Delaware during the next
few months If proper precautions
are not taken 10 prevent the spread
of this disease among dogs. accord
ing 10 DR.. c. c. Palmer, head Of the
departments Of animal industry and
bacteriOlogy at the University Of
Delaware and president Of the Della
ware Veterinary Medical AssOeia-
ton.
The disease has been prevalent re-
Gently In Philadelphia, DR.. Palmer
said, and is likely to spread south
throughout this State unless stray
dogs are eliminated and pet dogs are
handled properly.
Rabies, often called hyprophobia
when man is affected, is an infect
iOus disease caused by virus. Dogs
act as natural reservoirs OF rabies
and the disease spreads from them
to other animals and man. Symp-
toms are manifested in dogs in two
ways: The animal may be unusually
depressed or unusually affectiOnate
but has an irresistible tendency to
roam. While roaming he will bite
anything that happens to come hts
way. Rarely. however. does he at
tack man or other animals not In
his immediate path. He will attempt
to cat indigestible articles as sticks !
and stones. The foaming at the jaws
which sometimes appears results
from an accumulation Of saliva be-
cause Of difficulty in swallowing.
When the animal returns from his
roaming. he usually seeks seclud-
cd spot and develops paralysis and
soon dies.
Infrequently a dog presents no
signs Of frenzy or irritability ana
The first symptoms noticed are those
Df paralysis-so-called dumb rabies
The animal hides away, develops
paralysis in the lower jaw. which
spreads to the rest Of the body and
results in death.
According TO Dr. Palmer, the Del
lWare Veterinary Medical Associa-
ion recommends that pet dogs be
for rabies and kept tied
,r confined and not permitted to
Oam the streets or country. Stray
logs should be disposed Of If the
disease is to be kept from spread
