follows: G. Powell Minnigerode, d.

Art; r. M. Kaufman, member of
the Board of Trustees; Richard
Lahey, principal, and Eugen Weisz,
vice principal of the Corcoran
School, and Myrta Williams and
William Thompson. advanced stu
dents in the school.
The Corcoran School of Art came
into existence through the initiative
of the late E. F. Andrews, who for
a considerable number of years gen.
erously gave his services Is in
structor. It originally occupied
quarters in the rear Of the old
building at Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventeenth street. Upon Mr.. An
dreWS' retirement, Mr.. E. G. Messer
took his place, assisted by Richard
N. Brooke and James Henry Moser;
then for a period E. c. Tarbell as
suned the principalship, to be fol-
lowed by his associates, Richard
Meryman and Burtis Baker-and
they in turn by Richard Lahey, ably
supported in the work by Eugen
Weisz and Mrs. Leisenring. It is 4
free school and liberal IN It's policy,
leaning rather to the conservative
than to the extreme. The coming
exhibition should give opportunity
to Judge of its fruits.

Common Public FaIIacies
About Mad Dogs Exposed

And in a North Carolina ncwspa-
per there appeared the account OF
farmer who came to town to be
treated by the maidstone In the
possession of a certain doctor.
'The stone stuck to him for thirty
minutes" This proved it really
was working.
Quite as ancient is the idea that
the hair of the dog that bit you
applied to the wound will cure it.
There also is an unfortunate be-
lief that hydrophobia can be pre-
vented if the dog which has bitten
a person is killed Immediately.
What should be done is to keep the
dog under observation in confine-
ment to see whether the disease
develops. To kill the animal in
the early stages may be to fi1f
things so that final proof OF
whether it was rabid or not never
can be found. Later on definite,
changes in the brain can be seen
under the microscope, In the pres
ence of the so-called Negri bodies.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

makes white blood cells go down
in number. Also what is the MAN.
tanning count? VIII a low count
interfere with the red blood cells
count ?"
Answer: The reduction In the
number Of white cells usually Is
due to some drug, such as amido-
pyrine or inhalation Of Denzol
fumes. When the white cells go
down, the red cells usually go
down also because the drug affects
the entire bone marrow. The nor
NAL white cell count Is ABOUT
5000.
