TAKING CARE OF
YOUR PET DOG
Claiming Him in Yard Is Not
Sufficient Protection
Against Rabies
CAUTION IS NECESSARY

Merely claiming pets in the yard
is not sufficient protection against
contraction of rabies, warns Clar-
ence S. Foster, Chief Game Ward
en-, Delaware Fish and Game Com
mission. While rabies continues to
appear in northern New Castle
County, residents of the Delmarva
peninsula should keep their pets
from having any contact with
strange animals. 1t is not neces-
sary that an animal appear rabid
to be infectious, nor need it bite
another animal to transmit the di-
sease, Mr.. Foster states; the di-
sease may be passed on through
transmission of saliva from an in
fected animal to cut in the body
of a non-infected animal. Another
dangerous practice, he points out,
is that of allowing pets to take
'just short run alone" No length
of time is necessary for an animal
to acquire the germs of rabies; the
occasional solo run may prove en-
tirely as dangerous as a whole day
on the loose Since the discovery
of rabid dog in Wilmington in
March, fifteen have been examined
by the laboratory of the State
Board of Health, and twelve OF
them found to be victims of rabies.
All of these have come from that
portion of New Castle County
north of the Chesapeake
Canal, and state authorities are
every effort to prevent the
spread of the disease to the rest
of the state.

FIRE AT GEORGE c. ROTH
WELL FARM

George G. Rothwell near town
came near losing his home on Mon
day by fire, which was discovered
while the dinner was being prepar-
ed. Mrs. Rothwell was not slow in
informing her husband who was
out in the field, and who in turn
got assistance from his fathers in
cluding two or three carpenters
fro mthis town who were there at
work, the combined force succeed
ing in conining the flames to the
kitchen and finally putting them
out. Only the weatherboarding of
the house, (built two years ago)
where the kitchen joined up to it,
was injured. The tin roof that
covered the kitchen held the flames
in check at first, until sufficient
help arrived, But for this fact the
flames would have been beyond
control, and the whole premises
have been swept away. The fire
broke out at the base OF the terra
Gotta chimney, which it is thought
was improperly put on.
The two singing schools at Dea-
kyneville under the instruction of
Prof. C. w. Andrew, having each

seem, both of the schools were run

in feeling and in music. We have
heard that Prof. Andrews expects
to spend his vacation at his home,
near Harrington, but, anticipates
returning to resume his work at
some schools that he has organized
for the fall.
j. P. R. Polk, Esq, chairman of

tical working order this year 80 as
to work out very beneficial results
to the growers of the Peninsula.

ARTESIAN WELL DUG AT
WOODLAND BEACH

The artesian well at Woodland
Beach was completed last week,
reaching vein of water at depth
of 130 feet that rose in the tube to
within seven feet of the surface
The water is soft and undoubtedly
in sufficient quantity to meet all
demands. We noted in a former
issue that they bored through a log
at the depth of so feet. At a
depth of 112 feet the auger
brought up feathers and the well
defined wing of bird. This
brings up an interesting geological
qestion, viz: at what stage of the
worlds history was this portion of
the Peninsula formed?

Washington, March 2O.-(AP)- The
wordy controversy over President
Roosevelt's court reorganization pro-
posals brought today two new appeals
for and against their enactment
Irving Brant, st. Louis editorial
writer told the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee if the Supreme Court is per-
mitted to use cts arbitrary power to
thwart the aspirations of the under
privileged masses, the democratic gov
eminent we have known in the United
States will disappear"
A short time later Senator Burke,
Democrat, Nebraska, a leading OPP
pOnent Of the Presidents program, ap-
pealed to farmers to join the opposi-
ton. He asserted in a radio address
the purpose of the court bill is "to
make reasonably sure the court will
never again dare to act as an indie
pendent tribunal of justice"
Burke said "if the farmers of Amer
lea will make their voice heard now
in one thunderous demands hands off
our Supreme Court we can once
more move forward under the Con-
stitution to better days"
The problems of holding to indus
trial recovery and safeguarding Am
erica's neutrality shared interest in
the Capital this week with the Su-
preme Court controversy.
Chairman Eccles, of the Federal Re
serve Board, warned against a too
rapid upward swing of prices and
asked the budget be balanced with in
creased taxes on incomes and profits
if necessary.
Congressman who baked at the sug-
gestion of the more taxes were heart
ened by a Treasury estimate that in
come taxes this month would prob
ably reach 100000, nearly double
those last year.
