THE work Of reclairning the poto-
mac fats evidently began shortly
prior to January 16. 1883, for The
Star of that date states:
"Mr. p. Stanford Ross. the con-
tractor for the improvement of the
Potomac flats, arrived in the city last
evening and was today occupied in
experimenting the unloading of the
cars and tools, which had been sent
on from Baltimore, and arranging for
the continuance of the work
However, even then, and subsequent
to this time, the title to the falls was
claimed by private interests. and in
order to settle the question for all time
Congress passed the act of August.
1886, entitled AN act for protecting
the interests Of the United States in
the Potomac flats" under which it
was made the duty of the Attorney
General to institute suit against all
claimants of title to any part Of the
marshes or flats within the limits of
the proposed Improvements, to pro-
cure an adjudication and settlement
of these claims.
Accordingly, the United States in
stituted suit in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia against
Martin F. Morris and some so others, 4
who appeared and presented their
claims, upon variety of grounds. 1t
was long litigation. in which numer-
GUS counsel took part, and the de-
cree of the court was not handed
down until October II, 1895. and.
needless to say, the Government
emerged victorious.
Two years later Congress set aside
this area in the following words:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assembled,
That the entire area formerly known
at the Potomac fats, and now being
reclaimed, with the tidal reservoirs,
be, and the same are hereby. made
and declared public park, under the

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. g.
George Lyman Kittredge, an almost
Legendary figure in the life of Har-
ward University, is to retire Sept.
as Quincy professor of English
literature, he revealed to the United
Press today.
Famous for his knowledge OF
Shakespeare and Chaucer, Mr..
Kittredge, who is to celebrate his
seventy sixth birthday Feb. e, has
been a member of the Harvard
faculty since 1883 and Quincy pro-
lessor since 1894.
Mr.. Kittredge was questioned at
his massive, old-fashioned home on
Hilliard-st today concerning reports
he had resigned.
Reaches Certain Age"
He removed a cigar from his lips
to reply:
Il am retiring Sept. 1, having
reached a certain age"
Mr.. Kittredge had no time to say
more. He had to hustle to the uni
versity to teach English o." his
famous Shakespearean course,
which covers so much material that
students may take it second time
and receive additional credit.
Tall, slightly stopped, with a
white beard, Mr. Kittredge, nick
named kitty" is known as a bon
vivant and tireless worker whose
taste in clothes runs to winged COL
lars and pearl gray suits. His repu-
tation as a philologist is worldwide.
No belittler, Mr.. Kittredge once
observed:
There are three persons who
know what the word Victorian
means-and the other two are
dead"

The only way to get a good etch-
ing is to design it, etch it and print
it yourself
On that principle George ]. Mess,
well-known indianapolis artist, won
the Frank S. Cunningham award at
the twelfth annual Hoosier Salon in
Chicago for the best group of etch-
ings in the show.
The Hoosier Salon is the largest
showing of its kind devoted en-
tirely to Indiana art. 1t opened
Jan. 25 and is to close this week.
In following the hobby of etch-
ing, Mr. Mess has developed an I'M
usual technique along the expert
mental lines with aquatint. The
fine gradations of tone, so diff
cult to acquire in etching, are ac-
complished by the successive biting
and stopping out" processes. This
process involves use of acid in weak
and strong solutions to get certain
grades of color and tone.
Group of Nine Wins
The group of nine prints which
won the first prize award this year
included Aurora" "Metamora, :"
Summertime" Lightning" Mes

Forest" Prevailing Winds" ABODE

Four of his aquatints were shown
in the ninth annual exhibition of

MINTON SCORES

FOR HIS VIEWS
Liberty League Letter to
Senator Inspires HOLSTERS
Reply.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator
sherman Minton received one ot
those American Liberty League let
tiers in which JOHN j. Raskob urges
membership and explains that he
wants TO keep the country safe SO
that poor boys can rise as he has
risen-poverty to riches.
Written on Mr.. Raskob's office
stationery from the Empire State
Building Mex York, the letter was
addressed to Senator Minton's Office
at New Albany.
Since he campaigned with Mr.
Raskob for AL Smith for President
in 1928, Mr.. Minton has entered the
Senate on the single platform pledge
support President Roosevelt.
Tells Views on League
A former captain in the A. E. F.,
Senator Minton today answered the
Raskob invitation by giving the
poor boy" capitalist his views on
the Liberty League.
Il, too, came from humble sur
roundings," he said. LAS one poor
boy to another, let me tell you I
am still with my gang, while you

out on yours. I still have the poor
mans point of view, while you have
lost it, now that you have become
rich. 7 not only offer thanks for
what I have, but have some SYM

"Al Smith picked the right crowd
to talk to about balancing the bud
get. How would that speech have
sounded down under the Brooklyn
bridge, made to the boys and girls
from the sidewalks of New York,
especially if he had told them the
rest of the story-that to have bal
anced the budget would have taken
from them their last crust of bread?
Recalls War Days
Balance the budget When, sir,
did you or your associates, the Du
Points, raise your voice about an
unbalanced budget, in 1917 and
1918, when the budget was unbal-
anced to buy your munitions of war
to kill American boys?
'It was all right to have an I'm
balanced budget then, but wrong
now to have one to feed starving
Americans.
you speak of socialism and
communism. I believe in this Ad-
ministration and am no So
cialist or Communist. I don't even
know one. 1 hope you will pardon
me for saying so, but 1 think I am
as good citizen as you. love my
country as much as you. 1 thought
enough of it to offer my life in
defense of it in May, 1917, while
you were engaged in unbalancing
the budget.
ReSentS RaSkOb Statement
II recognize your right to fight
to hold your goodly share of the
spoils of the game, and for no
change in the rules under which
you got them. But you must con-
cede TO me an equal right to fight
for a change in the rules that
will prevent the rich from getting
richer and the poor from getting
poorer.

the press by its unknown former
users, gives the press an appearance

Mr.. Mess originally intended to
put the press in his basement studio,
but he found that the huge wheel
on the machine prevented getting
it through a doorway, so it was
set up in the refectory room until

ease could be studied.
There are, however, a sufficient
number of diseases common to ami
mails and man to make the subject
important. Rabies, Or hydropho-
bia, is one example Of a disease
which is never (or practically
never) transmitted from man to
man, but always from animal to
man.
Rabies Is common enough In the
United States, though human
deaths are rare. It can be pre-
vented, but it is difficult to eradi-
cate in large countries. On islands
and peninsulas it is easier to ham
die. In ireland, for instance, where
all immigrant dogs are quaran-
tined for six months, there mas
been no rabies for 20 years. In
England, after its re-introduction
in 1918, it has been brought under
control by the same methods.
Sweden has had no rabies since
1886; there are strict regulations
against importation Of all members
of the dog family. In Russia, on
the contrary. in Germany, Spain,

Mexico, Egypt and India it is a
very serious health problem.
Let Sick Dog Alone
Any dog acting suspiciously
should be tied up and left alone.
Many infections occur from trying
to help sick dogs.
A frequent occurrence Is that g.
rabid dog will be suspected of hav-
ing a bone in his throat. The pa
ralysis Of the swallowing muscles
and the gagging make him look
that way. And some kind-hearted
person tries to get the bone out Of
the throat with consequences Of q
serious nature.
When a dog has bitten a person
it should not be killed. It should
be chained in safe place and pro-
vided with its regular food supply
for two weeks, under observation.
If the dog remains we'll for that
time, it Is safe to release him, and
no person whom he has bitten need
have any fears. If the animal Is
killed after the bite, the head
should be detached and sent to
laboratory where the brain can
be examined for the Negri bodies
which are the sign Of rabies.
If the diagnosis of rabies Is made
In the animal, the Pasteur treat
ment should be given to all those
who have been bitten. It is per-
fectly safe to. begin treatment one
Or two weeks after the bite.
The preventive incubation of do
nestle animals against rabies is
considered to be quite successful,
but not infallible.
