Fresh Dangers Beset Venturesome
Crew In Shadow OF Long Sought Goal

THE Captain of the "Mary Ann"
tells the tale of how his mate,
Bill Corkey, meets Ternate dane
ing girl who gives him map re-
veaIing the hiding place Of the
fabulous Emerald Buddha in Ang-
kor Wat, a carved idol sought by
the pirate, Sin Kew. They escape
from Sin kew's men to sail for
Saigon. Word of their arrival has
come by fast junk, and a French
man meets them at the dock.
They visit Hui Doom, money
lender, who owes his life to the Cap
tain, and who provides them with
a pack horse, fresh clothes, food
and rifle - and a coolie guide to
take them through the jungle
northward toward Anekor Wat.
The money lender also gives them
a message for Ii, Buddhist
priest living near the ruined
khmer temples. The little party
struggles through the jungle,
resting by day, travelling at night.
A tiger scents them, and follows
their trail. Bill tries to kill it, but
the beast is too wary. They reach
rock grotto, and enter by torch
light to find Ii. the "bonze,"
standing in high-ceilinged room
before towering Buddha.

RULING AFFECTS
 HOUSEHOLD HELP
Agricultural Employees Not Under Unemployment
 Compensation

Attorney Frederick W. Dauch of this city, assistant attorney-general of Connecticut, in decision handed down at Hartford has made an im- portant ruling involving persons en- gagged in agricultural occupations, houehold service and other forms of employment exempted from com- pulsory participation in the states new unemployment compensation program. He declares that the above classes cannot come under the act even by voluntary action.
 The question involving household help, persons working on agricul- tural jobs and 50 forth was raised by Miss Helen Wood, director of the new unemployment compensation division. Section of the new act led to the inquiry.
 Assistant Attorney General Dauch pointed out that the section in question declares that "any em- ployer may accept the provisions of this act and become in all respects subject thereto by paying the con- tTIpuIiOIio Iequueu lIOHI cHiPiOycio subject to this act"
 However, he also pointed out, employment" is defined elsewhere in the law as excluding agricultural labor, domestic service in a private home and other groups. There are a total of eight of the exempted classes.
 Employers of less than five per- sons do not come under the pro- visions of the new state unemploy- ment compensation act.

for more than 25 years, and for a longer period a practicing physi- clan, has come to the definite con- clusion that the rabies scares are mostly humbugs. He has never seen a case of the disease, al- though closely familiar for over 20 years with municipal dok ken- mel work handling thousands of dogs"
 Dr. Charles W. Dulles, late lecturer on history of medicine, University of Pennsylvania, 1893- 1908; Consulting surgeon to Rush hospital; manager of University hospital, who undoubtedly was the greatest authority on hy- drophobia in this country, If not the world, made 8 study of hy- drophobia fo rover 30 years. At the request of the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania, he made an annual report on hy- drophobia, after a thorough in- vestigatoin of all cases reported in the newspapers and elsewhere. In an address delivered in Wash ington, in 1913, Dr. Dulles said:
 T might cite my own experi- ence in the treatment of persons bitten by dogs supposed to be mad, which has furnished not a single case of the developed dis ease in 30 years" and he added, T have probably seen more cases of so-called hydrophobia than any other medical man ="
 Dr. Dulles also said in this same address that: in France, which is full of Pasteur Institutes, there are supposed to be annually thousands of cases with the infec- ton of hydrophobia, while in Great Britain, where there is no Pasteur Institute, the disease does not occur. Another curious thing is that in Constantinople, where dogs have for centuries run wild in the streets, there was so little hydrophobia that 1t was long denied that 1t existed there the experien at all: but since a Pasteur institute has been estab- lished cases have been quite fre- quent, according to the Pasteur people. This has been the experi- ence of every country in which Pasteur Institutes have been es- tablished The Pasteur method I likewise think is injurious and responsible for manw deaths"

The new ruling relevant to edu- cational and recreational WPA pro- jects throughout the state stipulates that projects cannot be operated in buildings which are not city or state property. Most of the local classes are held in Crosby, at va rious park department buildings and at the Silas Brownson library. Those projects which will be af- fected are only a minor portion of the complete city sct-up.
 Classes Affected
 Glasses which are held at the Y. M. c. A. in the afternoons will have to be moved to a new location, as well as some naturalization groups which have been meeting in private homes. The dramatic group, which has been holding sessions at the church of Our Lady of Lourdes will also be moved. Plans are under way dv MbC ptCoCIlV tilLlC JO CoLhU- fish the dramatic group at Crosby high school after the beginning of the year.
 Regulations
 The text of the new regulation, which was announced to directors in all parts of the state, is as fol- lows:
 Projects shall not be undertaken for the benefit of private or quasi public institutions or of individuals" |" Projects shall be conducted on public property only, the legal own CT of which is the state, sub-divi- sion, or agency or public body thereof and which property is held either for the conduct of normal government functions or for the general use of the public. Projects may be condueted on Federal pro- perty with the consent and approv- al of the Federal agency having jurisdiction over and controlling the use of the property"

 National Authorities on Subiects-'Scares Mostly FIumbug'-'NO Comments Answers Dr.. Godfrey

An old issue Is resurrected today with letter from the Vivisection Investigation League in which warn- ings issued by authorities in regard to rabid dogs are criticized sharply as "scares." The letter was writ ten to The Democrat by Mrs. Sue Farrell, president of the organiz- atiois, following a recent article in this newspaper stating that tests of an apparently mad dog. shot by policeman, had shown the animal was suffering from rabies.
 Scares Unfounded Mrs. Farrell claims that the dis case is rare, and that most rabies .scares" are unfounded. She con- demns the Pasteur treatment, and scoffs at their claims.
 Y Dr. E. J. Godfrey, local health officer, declined today to comment on the letter.

 Communication Mrs. Farrells letter follows:
 Dec. IS, 1886. Editor, The Democrat:
 In your issue fo December Sd, under the caption "Dog Owners Get Rabies Warning" 1t IS said: Health Officer Edward J. God frey today issued a warning to all dog owners in the city to observe their animals closely as a result of the capture earlier in the week in Waterbury of a dog suffering from the rabies"
 The greatest authorities tell us that rabies is disease of ex- . tremely rare occurrence, but we are constantly having rabies scares which are of no benefit to anyone and are of very real dan- ger to timid nervous people.
 The late Dr. w. O. Stillman, distinguished president of the American Humane Association, wrote and published in the ''Na- tional Humane Review" an edi- terial entitled Fables Scares AS Fine Art" in which he said: "The editor of this magazine, who has been the active head of an aggressive arti-cruaty society

 The U. s. Public Health Re- ports," July 30, 1915, has an ar- ticle on Paralysis During Anti Rabic Treatment" by Dr. H. E. Hasseltine, Passed Assistant Sur geon, U. s. Public Health Ser vice.
 In an article in the London Lancet, May 24. 193O, entitled "A Fatal Neuro- o-Paralytic Acci- dent of Anti-Rabies Treatment" 1t is said: "The cause of paralytic accident lies in the antirabies in- jections themselves and more spe. officially in some component of nerve substance necessarily intro duced during the process of im- munization."
 Albert Payson Terhune. the well known authority on dogs, Is reported in "The Humane Quar- terly," Washington, D. O., May, 1883, as follows: "Of all the ab- surd and i'll founded legends about dogs, the mad dog scare is the worst. Not one supposedly mad dog in a thousand really has the hydrophobia. Moreover, a rabid dog is desperately sick--too sick and dazed to go out of its way to attack any one .. if dog re- fuses to drink water, there is just one genuine cause, namely, that 1t is not thirsty"

There are all manner and types OF

Experiments are being conducted with
different types of these to find out
the most efficient kind. There are
fingered gloves. mitts; gloves of differ

torily would eliminate many Of these
small heating requirements.
One of the most interesting things
discovered by the laboratory Is the
fact that the efficiency of the average
pilot is reduced % per cent at the
temperatures prevailing at height
of 10000 feet in the United States.
How bring up this efficiency ratio?
Here again enters the question of
the heated cockpit or cabin.
Another question to be worked out
is how much carbon monoxide will
the blood absorb at low temperatures
in high attitudes?
THE new physiological laboratory
is the direct result of the tremen-
dous strides made by aviation in the
past Is years. Speed has shot up
like rocket. Man, not being a
bird, or of that family even, is COM
pletely out of his environment in the
air. He must, therefore. proceed
cautiously, and by the rule of ex-
perience. and test as he takes to
speed there mechanically.
The effect of flight in every con-
ceivable manner must be known by
him upon his body if he is to con-
tinue to fly and increase his speed
in the air from 60 to 500 miles per
hour. Higher attitudes mean the

heights.
Before goiIs into the problem of
the medical laboratory where the
physiological effect of flying is being

guide the flying medicos. Now they
hope to build W a vast volume of
research that will be of intense
value to all flying ambitions.
