New Haven Road Reports Unprecedented Patronage
 By Growing Army of "Week-Enders"

The great army of Friday -to-Mon- day week-enders has grown to an unprecedented size during the past few seasons-and the problem of transportation for this vast group has grown in proportion.
 The New Haven Railroad reports that survey of weekend travellers by rail to vacation resorts in South ern New England indicates a de- cided swing from motor car travel to train travel by seasoned week enders to avoid the congestion, delay many other reasons are mentioned and danger of weekend. highway travel.
 Speed Important
 While speed is an important fac- tor in the selection of train travel, by train travellers who are going New Haven to their weekend des- tinations. Among these, the im- portant relaxation of travel in an air-condltioned coach or pullman car are rated highly, as compared with the fatigue and nervous ten sion of travel on the crowded high way.
 The saving in transportation costs ] is another important factor-travcl

No Cure For RabieS-- PaStenr Treatment Most EOectiUe
 PreUentiUe

cidence of animal rabies in the spring will be followed by the by the maximum prevalence of human rabies in the summer months. It Is thus to be expected that the heaviest incidence of ani- nal rabies in the spring will be followed by the maximum prev alence of human rabies in the summer months. The late spring and the summer arc also the per- iods of greatest out-of doors cx- posture to dog bites, especially in the case of children. with whom incubation is usually of shorter duration than in adults, and who are more apt to develop rabies soon after being bitten.
 Rabies, the insurance company statisticians point out is hope lessly incurabc disease once it is established in a human being. No method of treatment has yet been discovered which is of the slightest avail at this stage. However, there Is practically sure safeguard against rabies In the Pasteur prophylactic treatment. Adminis- tered as soon as possible after a dog bite, whether the animal be merely suspected of being mad o;N is known to be so, the treatment gives a practically 100 per cent protection. It's efficacy is demon strated by the fact that in 6,156 cases treated at the Pasteur 1n- stitute in Paris in the 10-year period 1924 1883 only a single death occurred.

StatiSticianS Find Spring Time Most Dangerous Period
 of Year

Through the ages, the hot sultry season in July and August has been known as dog days" The informed knew that this season took It's name from the star Sirius, more commonly known as the Dog Star which, at that time of the year rises with the sun. The average citizen connected the name, dog days, with the suppo- sltion that dogs were more liable to rabies during this season than at any other during the year.
 Statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company Say that the latter supposition is incorrect. Easing their conclusion on reports of rabies in animals to the United States public health service for the last six years, they point out that fewer animals go mad dur ing the summer than at any other season of the year.
 Spring is the season in which rabies has been found most prevalent, daily average of 12.2 rabid animals being reported over the six years for that season. The statisticians find that the cold months of winter run spring 6 close second--a daily average of ll.7 rabid animals being reported for the winter.
 In summer, which includes the dog days" the daily average is found to fall to 8.2. Tn other words, only two animals became rabid in summer 10 every three in the spring. and only seven during the hot summer months to

every 10 during the winter.
 The necessity for systematic 100 per cent muZzling of dogs at all seasons of the year is the lesson drawn from this study on rabies by the Metropolitan statisticfans. They say: Many instances are on record of more or less deter mined opposition to the enforce ment of dog "muzzling laws and and ordinances during the cold months. Such resistance doubtless has its foundation in the impress sion that rabies is q warm weather disease in both animals and human beings. The facts, as stated, show beyond contraduc. ton that this impression Is mis- taken one SO far as the seasonal incidence of this dread disease in animals is concerned"
 An analysis of the incidence of rabies among humans shows a slight difference from that among animals. More cases among hu- mans are reported tor July and August than at other seasons. but the seasonal difference is slight. In fact. the public healt hserv- ice records show that for every five cases in both July and Aug. ust there are four cases in Jan uary. May and October. The slightly larger number of these dog day" cases in humans Is at. tributed, in part. to the fact that tie length of the incubation per- iod in man usually runs from six weeks to two months It is thus to be expected that the heaviest in-

[ in air-conditIoned coaches on the New Haven road now costs but % mile, whereas the cost of operat- ing an automobile has been esti- mated at from Sc to Go per mile.
 Last, but often far from least, in the opinion of many weekend trav- elers, arc the added safety and the dependability of travel by train and the opportunity to plan time of ar- rival and departure to fit in with the social activities of the weekend holiday.
 In a large percentage of cases, the weekend traveller by train is mak- ing his regular visit to his vacation ing family who are enjoying the ad- vantage of the family car during the week, for transportation in and around the summer resort.
 In these cases the combination of comfortable long mileage travel by the head of the household in New Haven trains, with almost indis- pcnsable service by the family motor during the week, and for fathers cottage to-beach and cottage-to- golf f-club trips during the weekend, is proving most satisfactory ar- rangcment for the whole family.
