Predicts Decline in
MAD Dogs in State

Raleigh, May 18.-From now until
1910, or 1941, there should be a
gradual decline in the prevalence of
rabies; then will begin the climb to-
ward another peak, it was pointed
out here today by DR.. John H. Ham
ilton, diractor of the Division of
Laboratories of the North Carolina
State Board of Health.
There has been steady decrease
in the demand for anti-rabies vac
cine in this State since the latter
part of 1885, DR.. Hamilton said.
Rabies" he continued, comes in
epidemic waves, just like other dis
eases, and in North Carolina it
takes ten and a half years to COM
plete the cycle, that is, it is that
length of time between each peak
or each low In New York City it
takes fifteen years. This is due to
the fact that, while there is much
greater density of population in New
York than in North Caroina, there
are fewer dogs in proportion to the
human population.
Out, he warned, there should
be no let-up in precautions against
rabies, the disease will soon become
apparent and the dog will become i'll
and die. If it shows signs of rabies
there will still be time for the patti

They can find willing listeners to
their troubles, they can play checkers
and cards. The Red Cross doesn't
pretend to cure the insane by con-
tributing to their material wants. But
it helps. For instance, there is the
story Of Pete.
MARGARET HAGAN, field director
~ Of the Red Cross work at the
hospital, tells the story.
Pete Is, as the patients themselves
say, q very crazy boy. He wears q blue
denim overall and Is ubiquitous. He
stands by the tunnel and declains like
q radio announcer. Ten minutes later
faster than our old car can take us
there-he Is down at the Point asleep
He's just like silly boy out of Shake
speare.
For months Pete's only reason for
visiting the Red Cross House was for
q drink Of water. He would run into
the house and directly out again, ad-
dressing no one. Pete is solitary. He
says wonderful things to himself and
to no one else

Here enters the Red Cross. Since
the World War the American Ma
tional Red Cross has been making life
brighter for the mentally Ill hos
pitalized at st. Elizabeth's, across the
creek in Anacostia
Until a generation ago an institu-
tionalized lunatic could expect little
better treatment than 4 dog in q
pound kept by cats.
Clifford Whittingham Beers, who
went through the agonies Of losing his
mind, but at length recovered 1t, de-
scribed the horrible abuse which was
the lot Of the insane at the turn Of
the century in his book, "A Mind That
Found ITSELF"
The best psychiatric care is ac-
corded the patients at st. Elizabeth's.
But the victims Of unreason want
more than good care. They want
some fun. The Red Cross supplies

donate the Red Cross in the annual
roll calls.

The rise and fall of the airedale has
