The world is closing in on the measure
of personal liberty" you may enjoy It
was never truer than it is today that mo
man liveth unto himself We may talk
as we please about our Bill Of Rights and
our Constitutional privileges, but there
are some things Of which even these do
not treat and they are things which af
feet us in our everyday life. They are
SO personal that in many cases they can
not be reached by the law.
The whole doctrine of law has been
reduced by Blackstone, one 0 t h G
worlds greatest legal authorities to this
simple formula: first, that we should
live honestly; second, that we hurt no
body; and third, that We should render
to every one his due
Unfortunately the working out of
these principles is often overshadoWed by
covetousness, bigotry, hatred and envy,
and these lead to personal conflict, class
struggles, and sometimes to world war.
Because of this fact there arises the ne
cessity for higher law. It was handed
down to us thousands of years ago. Here
it is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself."
We can't go wrong on any decision Of
course of action with this law as the guild

world wars, no class struggles, no labor

frankly, anything less than this reduces
mankind to the level Of thinking express
sed in the motto: Every man for him
self, and may the devil take the hind

An unknown "neighbor' once wrote
these words as his guide in his relation

once. Any good, therefore, that can do
or any kindness that | can show to any
human being, let me do it now. Let me
not defer or neglect it, for shall not
pass this way again"

The decision Of the House of
Representatives TO vacaJe the
present Hall of the House, until
emergency repairs to the roof can
be made, did not come moment
too soon-according to numerous
engineering authorities. The great
glass ceiling Of the House Cham
ber is suspended from the roof,
which measures 12Ox126 feet and
is without support except from
the sides. For long time it
has been known that the roof
was in dangerous condition and
might collapse under heavy snow
or as result Of any unusual
strain. Early last year, Con-
gress appropriated funds for the
rebuilding of the roof and cell
ing, but the long continued ses-
sion Of Congress prevented the
beginning of the work Of recon
struction. Then a few weeks ago,
when the roof was examined by
the Architect Of the Capitol, Da-
vid Lynn, it was revealed tnat
some Of the wrought iron trus-
ses and girders had slipped far
out of place, and that as re-
suit some of the roofs supports
were carrying as much as eighty
times the weight they were de-
signed to bear. Outside experts
all agreed with Mr.. Lynn that the
roof might collapse at any mo-
ment, and it was hastily decided
thai temporary repairs were of
Z immediate necessity. According
to Architect Lynn, temporary
supports can be installed within
six weeks, SO that the Seventy
Seventh Congress will be able to
meet in safety. It is planned that
later on, whenever Congress will
be in adjournment for five or six
months, to reconstruct the entire
roof and ceiling SO as to elimin-
ate for all time the dangers now
existing and at the same time
preserve the present architectural
lines and ceiling of the beauti-
full and historic Chamber where

On last Monday, for the first

never met outside the Capitol
/ since moving back into the old

The old original House Chamber
was then converted into Statuary

to meet regularly in the new
House Chamber for nearly 50
years.

DO NOT LET YOUR

Stray or Ownerless Dogs
Responsible for Most
Cases of Rabies

Two out of every three persons
who are given the Pasteur treat
ment at the State Department of
Health to protect them against ra-
bies = hydrophobia = have been
bitten by STRAY" or ownerless
dogs.
To give some idea of the danger
from STRAY" or ownerless dogs as
well as from other dogs that are
allowed to run at large, Dr. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, said: There
is never any let-up to the stream
of persons who apply at the head
quarters of the Department, after
they have been bitten by dogs or
other animals, for the special
treatment that will prevent hydro
phobia from developing.
According to our records, over
a thousand persons living in or
near Baltimore city are bitten each
year; among them are a great
many children. During the five
years from 1885 to the close of
1889, over 1000 people from this
section of the State had to have
preliminary protective treatment
after having been bitten. Nearly
900 have applied for treatment
since the first of January of this
year. These totals refer only to
people living in this section of the
State. They do not include per-
sons in the counties who are cared
for by their own doctors or at the
County Departments of Health.
Two-thirds of those who have been
treated have charged their injur-
les to STRAY" or other dogs run
ming at large.
only small percentage of the
people who apply for the Pasteur
treatment actually need to be
treated. In great many instances
careful inquiries have shown that
the dogs or other animals inflicting
the injuries were cross, or possibly
vicious, but not rabid AS a mat
