RABBIT FEVER

AS the hunting season opens, DR..
r. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, warns hunters,
market men, housewives and all
Others who handle game, of the pos
sibility of contracting rabbit fever"
~or "tularemia", as the disease is also
called, from infected rabbits.
There were 40 cases and deaths
from. the disease in the State in
1898; 18 cases with deaths have
been reported SO far, during 1910.
OF the totals in 1889, 81 cases and
all of the deaths occurred in Bal
timore City; the rest in the counties.
AS safeguard against further
illness and deaths from this cause,
DR.. Riley, said that the Baltimore
City Health Department has secured
the enactment of an ordinance which
prohibits the importation or sale in
the city of wild rabbits or wild
hares, dead OF alive. The ordinance
does not affect the importation or
sale of domesticated rabbits or hares
kept under supervision in properly
maintained and sanitary rabbitries.
The ordinance went into effect
November Is, and fixes penalty,
not exceeding fifty dollars for each
offense. Exception is made in the
case of geological gardens operated
under public authority and labora-
ties engaged in scientific research,
h iah inn 70 70
under such regulations as may be
prescribed by the Health Commits
sioner of Baltimore City.
The ordinance applies to Balti-
more City, only. 1t does not affect
the importation or sale of wild rab-
bits or hares in the counties. Pre- .
cautionary measures advised by DR..
Riley accordingly apply more partic-
ularly to residents of the counties.
The disease is usually contracted,
he explained, through handling or
skinning infected animals; through
preparing the infected meat for cook
ing or for other use; through the
bite of infested ticks--which spread
the disease from animal to animal
and even through crushing the in
fected ticks in hands. The infectious
material can be absorbed through q
mere scratch or break in the skin.
He advised careful observance Of
the following precautions:
BE sure you bag or buy only
healthy animals. The animal that
seems dazed or stupid is likely to be
a sick one--infected with the germs
that cause rabbit fever. Avoid that
kind.
Don't handle the game with bare
hands when preparing the meat for
the market or the table. Use rub
Der gloves or protect the hands with
some other waterproof material. The
infection may be picked up from the
fur. as well as from the organs or
flesh.
do not allow any open cut or
scratch to come in contact with the
rabbits. Keep your hands away from
your face and eyes when handling
rabbits.
Burn the paper or other wrap
pings that have been in contact with
the game. Wash the hands thorough
ly with soap and water Immediately
after handling rabbit. Cook rabbit
meat thoroughly. Cooking destroys
the disease producing germs"

THE FIREMEN OF LONDON

The "battle of Britain" has
brought to the notice Of the world a
new kind of war heso--the firemen
of London.
These men aren't bemedalled.
They don't march about to the play
ing of martial music Individually,
few of them are known. But the fact
that London still exists is largely OF
their doing. They take the most ex-
treme risks calmly and without
fanfare, in the line of daily duty.
They go for days on end without
sleep or rest, battling the fires the
enemy's great bombs create. A con-
siderable number Of them have died
at their posts, that others might live
and the seat Of the Empire be saved.
Here in our own country there
are no bombers to devastate our
cities, NO long-range guns to blast
at our homes and industries and ma
tional monuments. But, all over the
nation, firemen are doing a peace
time job that should be given far
more recognition than it usually OBJ
tains. There has been many jest
concerning easy-living firemen, sit
ting about In their comfortable sta
tions, talking and EARNING and play
ing cards. But it isn't funny when an
engine crew must enter burning
building that may collapse into an
inferno OF flame any minute. 1t isn't
funny to have to fight q great fire
when the temperature is twenty be-
low and the spray from the nozzles
turns at once to ice. 1t isn't funny
to put ON masks and asbestos suits
and try to control an oil fire gem
Grating thousands Of degrees OF
blazing heat.
The fire department is any town
or districts first line Of defense
against an enemy that is as destruc-
tive as war. And q first-class fire
department Is any towns best in
yestment. The fire-hghters Of Lon
don are making the headlines with
. service that Is as vital In peace as
In time Of battle.

HISTORY REPEATS
! BY J. e. Jones

washington, d. G. November 90
The noise of the great battle of Nov
ember dies away.
Time rolls down the curtain on
Presidential election. while the
American people are settling down
and asking one another: Where
are we at? Where do we go from
here? What about Unity? Thes tars
come out as usual at night, and the
sun still warns the earth by day.
Unity seems to have clear sailing.
The twentieth amendment to the
Constitution provides that the 18th
Congress shall convene at noon on
January 8, 1941, when the present
President will make the usual
recommendations. Mr.. Roosevelt
will automatically become the next
President as his own successor on
January 20. On that date Vice-Pres-
ident Garner will be succeeded by
Vice-President Wallace.
Since election our folks of the
United States have more soberly
considered the War threats, and it
may be observed that there aren't
nearly as many hot-heads who want
to mix-in and send armies to Europe
to fight with England against tht
Dictators. However, Mussolini''

ing his intentions and plans of thu
rest of the Axis with regard t.
Greece, England and Democracies
had a tendency to- increase the ap
prehension that brutal warrior
might ultimately attack some spo
in the Western Hemisphere If tn
opportunity should present itself
) and the gates were open for invasion
The summary Of facts seem t
strengthen the National determine
ton that involvement in any Euro
pean war must be avoided and tina
the defense program must be cal
ried out to demonstrate to Hitler
Company that we are ready for then
That kind of U. s. defense has bee
approved by the American public.
l 1t is true that there are some bi
national questions facing the Ad
ministration and Congress, but Their
isn't very much probability that amy
ching in the way Of definite conclu
sions, can be reached by the presen
membership.
Evidently Uncle Sam will mar
step until the new Congress goe
into session the first week i
5 January.

Threat OF Imitation

Most of this talk about imitation
rs about as hard to understand as
the COLLINS and the bogeys that will
get you if you don't watch out"
According to the dictionary imitation
is state of being inflated"
From its standpoint as q political
scarecrow imitation is threat in
connection with what the President
of the United States can do at any
time under emergency powers that
were conferred on him by Congress
to increase or decrease the value Of
money, and thereby bring about
violent changes in the value of the
dollar. History shows that imitation
always produces rise in the price
level.
If you want to look into your own
personal business affairs you will
perhaps discover that there is plenty
of imitation in your budget estimates,
right now. You are apt to find evil
,tence Of spells and spasms of in
nation at different times which you
may have overlooked. In the bust
ness world today there are increased
demands for certain manufactured
goods and natural products, includ-
ing farm crops. Even il you can't
understand all the reasons, you do
Know that prices have been con-
sLantly moving--usually upwards.
The Government has been In the
nabit of using all its devices and
powers Of control over the lives and
affairs of its people, and these poll
cies will be continued regardless of
whether we have peace, or war. If
there Is q Presidential decree chang
ing the price of gold and silver, or
If charges of violation Of the anti
trust laws crush some institutions,
or businesses, or IF q thousand un-
expected possibilities really happen,
there might be serious troubles from
imitation. Otherwise little mutations
wont hurt you because you don't
see them.

Rosalind Russell Teamed With James Stewart in
 Film Ending Tomorrow

Coming to close tomorrow even- ing at the Warner Brothers State theater is the hilarious hit "No Time For Comedy" with James Stewart and Rosalind Russell in the co-star- ring leads also Carole Landis and Henry Wilcoxon in Mystery Sea Raider"
 Next in the States lineup of new season hits is the thrilling adven- ture-romance "Kit Carson" which will entertain State patrons for three days starting Sunday after noon.
 Starring Jon Hall in the title role "Kit Carson" is based on the early life story of one of the boldset and most dashing adventurers in Amer ican history.
 Tn addition to Hall the cast in- cludes such outstanding screen cele- brities as Lynn Bari, Dana Andrews Ward Bond, Harold Huber and Clayton Moore.
 Spotlighting the adventure-filled episodes of Carson's life when he joined John c. Fremont of the Unit ed States army to survey and map the shortest overland route to Calif- ornia, this film abounds in spec tacular scenes. Never before has Hollywood crowded one picture with so many thrills.
 Bitter fighting with the Indians, dangerous trekS in wagon trains, plots and counter plots engineered by sly and cunning Mexican schem- CTS are only a few of the highlights.
 Too much praise cannot be given to the cast of "Kit Carson" for the striking and convincing character izations they enact. To Jon Hall and Lynn Bari, who takes the fem- mine romantic lead, go additional honors for carrying off with com- plete success their difficult and ex- acting roles.
 Completing this entertaining pro- gram will be delightful comedy Calling All Husbands" with Ernest Truex and Lucille Fairbanks shar- ing co-Starring honors.
