ONCE IN FIVE YEARS
 Newspaper clippings of items dealing with rabies, anonymously sent me from time to time, add to the conviction that rabies Is a racket.
 One item from a midwest rural town says the county footed 8 rabies outbreak" bill of $4,4l0.70 for the year, comprising payment for treatment of 135 cases-cases of what, one can only infer from the context. The item says there was one fatality from rabies infec- ton, and the ensuing panic result ing from this death caused great amount of our expense. Not many of the 135 were actually bitten, but were treated because of well, to make tall story short, because of panic. But that $4,4l0.70 is only a drop in the bucket. Generally the people themselves pay for Pas teur treatment-unless they are paupers and seek 1t at public ex- pense. The physicians in the com- munity generally charge $50 for Pasteur treatment, the item says. So If 100 of the 135 victims of panic were treated by their own physi- clans, that would jump the cost irn- mediately an additional $5,000.
 Another interesting item in the present collection of clippings is taken from an eastern paper. It is merely @ notice like this Fictitious names substituted for names given in item):
 Al Belts swing orchestra 7:15 Frantic search of Ohio's State police for Ernest Warehanl after he had been bitten by mad dog will be dramatized at 7:30 p. In.-WKZ.
 No better way to propagate panic than by dramatizing the myth over the radio. It inoculates children and childminded adults even more suc- cessfully than does the printing of ugly superstitionS. One enthusiastic but inexperienced young health of- ficer (of w. Va. county), reprov- ing me for my teachings, candidly explains Tn W. Va. we have a hard time getting out local appropria- tions sometimes .. |.

husbands bald spot a subject for conversation.
 Nor would she "let the wind out of his sails" by some gesture of pos sessiveness when she comes on him entertaining a visiting girl at a party. s@t.@
 She would pave the way for Georges favorite story instead of saying, I'm sure you've told that to Alice before, George" What if Alice does have to listen to a twice. told tale? Alice Is only an ac- quaintance, while George is the most important person in the world --or at least he should be to Mary, his wife.
 A wife with the least bit of gall lantry in her heart would never think of telling a hard working hrls- band how she misses having her town money"
 She would play down Georges weaknesses and play up the quail ities that made him seem perfect before she took him for better or for worse.
 The friends of a gallant wife would be allowed to see her hus- band as an interesting man, not just Marys husband, George. And in Mary's eye, George would still see the shining picture he saw there when he decided that without Mary around to appreciate" him, the world would be a pretty poor sort of place.

to have control of things.
 A third item IS taken from an Oklahoma paper. Scarehead says Neglected Dog-Bite Kills Girl" Item says ten year old girl com- plained on 8 Monday that she was not feeling well, but as 1t was four weeks since her pet Spitz had in fected slight wound over her left eye, no attention was paid to her complaint. Thursday night she said her neck hurt and she felt faint and nervous. A doctor saw her late at night and finally had her admitted to hospital at ? a. nn., but the child died an hour later. She died from rabies, the newspaper item implies. The Lord knows what the child died of, certainly no physician can tell positively and no pathologist can determine whether an illness or death is caused by rabies, for the simple reason that there is no known specific test. In my opinion the indications in at least some such cases point rather to strychnine poisoning or to tetanus (lockjaw), This child's older brother was bitten on the foot by the same dog the same day. but he immediately applied tincture of iodin to his scratch or wound and suffered no i'll effects, the news item says. It was the first rabies death in five years" Shucks, maybe 1t was the first in five hundred years.

 Realization of the fact that good many of the women whom you think of as being beauties really aren't at all should inspire you to figure out just what they have, what they do, how they react to various situations. The chances are ten to one that every woman who seems beautiful but actually is not has a sparkling personality and an animated face and fairly nice dis- position.
 That an alive look, which comes from being healthy, pleasant and interested in everything, is a thing of beauty is not surprising news, to be sure. The surprising fact is that more women, knowing this, do not trouble to wake up and live and therefore be lovlier to look at.
 If you aren't pleased with your self or feel drab and look 1t, how about a bit of self-analysis? Sit alone in a room and answer 8 few questions-out loud, please. Some of these, for example, and any others which are on your mind at the moment:
 What have l done during the past six months that was really fun, made me laugh heartily? Did any books or articles I read actu- ally stimulate my thinking, make me curious to know more about the subject? What did do (NOT what did SHE dol to spoil my friendly relationship with Mrs. So-and-So? Do listen when oth- CTS speak or do I want to do all the talking myself?
 Then, too, solemn thought about personal appearance Is in order every now and then. If you look drab you probably feel dull. Ask yourself these questions, too, and give some serious thought to the answers:
 Whatever happened to my hair brush and why don't use 1t ev- cry night? Couldn't I walk half Q mile and do three simple stretch- ing and limbering exercises . day if wanted to? Why have worn my hair the same way for ten yearsP How do I know this way is right if I never am willing to try any other? Are my hands rough because of the work I do or be- cause I simply won't bother to oil or cream them regularly?
 Add to the questionnaire if you like. This beauty game can go on an entire evening. And, if played at least once a year, will do more to improve you, mentally and physically, than you perhaps think. Once you are honest with yourself, your chances of appear ing beautiful even when you are not, increase greatly.

Household Hints
Handy at Weaving
New Hand Loom Puts Industry
 at FingertipS

Women may be spinning their own tea-table yarns if they adopt the loomless weaver devised by Mrs, Margaret Clark, wife of a Canadian newspaper man. A set of three hollow, three-inch celluloid tubes are threaded with a needle. When yarn from the skein is woven over and under the tubes, the rows are pushed down, and your sock or belt appears below as if by magic. At right, Mrs. Clark, who came to Amer ica from Hungary IS years ago, shows how it can be done without even looking. Below, she demonstrates the technique of this new sleight-of-hand.
