MATTHEW J. SMITH

He has gone but leaves behind him
 A monument 50 rightfuy erected That the board of charities are honored
 That for their board, Matt was selected, He has done his work
 In such perfect way That he's going to be missed
 More and more each day. The inmates at BrookSide
 And his co-workerB in city hall And anyone whom he has ever met
 He'll be missed by them one and all. The inmates at Brookside don't quite realize That Matt had heart of oversize. He wouldn't sec one of them out in the cold And fatherly affection for them all he
 did hold. The Elks and Eagles Society
 From Waterbury and out-of-town Always found Matt to be man
 Of character and renown. So now let Us give thanks
 That Matt was in our ranks And even though he has passed away ' His memory fingers with Us night and day. E Helen Burns, R. !

Parents have little time or inclination to listen to the problems of their sons and daughters and usually take the easiest way out, which Is to depend upon their finding out many of the more important facts of life as best they can.
 According to this authority, High School Girl" should be seen by ev- cry parent in the country, in or- der that they may see the inpor- tance of confiding more in their children and helping them to avoid the tragic consequences 50 often brought about by . lack of know- ledge.

Washington, Jan. 0-PerhapS you have to live in Washington to ap- preciate the confusion created by the candidacy of Senator William E. Borah for the republican pres- idential nomination.
 Stories about "the new Hoover are of but mild interest here along side the general speculation as to whether now there is to be @ new Borah."
 For the capitals conception of the Idaho statesman comes close to the classic and rather mean reference made to him once by ex-Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, when he call- ed Borah '"The Great Beginner"
 In other words, when you speak of Borah around here you are sure to be told that The never fin- ishes anything" There is plenty of chapter and verse on that. But It's something else again when BOrah allows his name to be used In the presidential pri- naries and Borah was never be- fore in any such strategic posi- ton as he Is to-day.
 First 1t Is conceded by many poe lltical observers that he could get more votes than anyone else the republicans might name, # the election were tomorrow.
 Second, the fact of the c. O. F. might well be in Borah's hands were he to consider bolting the party in case neither its platform nor its candidate should be satis- factory to him.

RABIES SITUATION HERE
FAIRLY UNDER CONTROL
Veterinarian Reports Number
Not Cooperating With Dog
Quarantine

That the rabies situation in Garrett
county is only fairly under control,
was announced yesterday morning by
c. E. Poe, deputy State veterinarian.
while there are quite a few less
dogs running at large and while quite
a number of people have cooperated
in penning their animals, there are
still those who have no regard for the
law and no thought to the danger that
might arise from lack of observance
of the quarantine" DR.. Poe said.
A few stray dogs have been de-
stroyed since the quarantine was put
into effect by the Maryland Live Stock
Sanitary service. In all cases where
dogs are found running at large, the
owner is sought and the responsibility
of keeping the dog under leash is left
to him. If he does not comply with the
requirements he is liable to prosecu-
ton.
Mark WEIGH, State veterinarian, Col
lege Park, who is handling the rabies
situation throughout the State, said:
"a difficult thing about rabies is that
the disease may take anywhere from
nine days to two months to develop
after bite from a diseased animal. 1t
all depends upon the nearness of the
wound to the brain, as the poison trav-
els through the nerve cells and devel-
ops slowly from a bite far removed
from the head of an animal or person."
He advised any persons bitten by an
animal to report the case to a doctor
at once.
DR.. Poe and other State authorities
are still making inspection trips thru
this section to see that the quarantine
is made effective, as human lives may
be endangered if a mad dog is allowed
to run at large.
