BY r. r. TAYNTON.

Heated discussion which lasted
until early morning and close vote
in the House of Representatives of
the American Veterinary Medical
Association characterized the adop-
ton by that body of a report and
policy about the handling of the
rabies situation. Passed by a vote
of 81 to 43, the delegates of the
organization accepted the report of
the Executive Committee of the as
sociation. which had previously ac-
cepted the report of the Special
Rabies Committee headed by Col
r. A. Kelser. The report incor-
porated resolution offered by Dr.
Cassius M. Way, president of the
organization, concerning the use of
the one-shot anti-rabies vaccina-
ton.
Policy Is Expounded.
The essence of the policy adopted
toward the whole subject of rabies
and its treatment by the American
Veterinary Medical Association fol-
lows:
l. While there is isagreement be-
tween eminently qualified scientists
as to the immunizing value of rabies
vaccine, the A. V. M. A. recommends
to the public that compulsory annual
vaccination should not be relied
upon for the solution of the rabies
problem. Measures shall be insti-
tuted that all dogs be kept under
control and ownerless strays elimi-
mated.
2. A national law should be passed
giving the dog an equal status with
other livestock
3. A national Government agency,
preferably the Bureau of Animal
Industry, in cooperation with ap-
proved and accredited veterinary
practitioners in this country. should
be charged through appropriate leg
islation with correlated Federal
State plan for eradication of the
disease.
4. There should be uniform COM
pulsory laws. capable Of State and

seems close enough to be interesting
to the several thousand bugs who
must have their tennis at Forest
Hills and are willing to pay a few
bucks daily for the privilege OF
watching Frank Kovacs intimidate
the ballboys.
They'll see plenty of Kovacs, for in
spite of his Galli-Curci mannerisms,
this tall sprout from California is a
good tennis player and one of the
three who figure to go a distance
and make it interesting.
The other two are Robert L. Riggs,
the defending champion, and Don
McNeill, the slugger. Frank Parker,
still steady with his pat-ball, and
Gilbert Hunt, the young mathemati-
cal wizard, are capable of springlng
upsets. Welby Van Horn might sud-
denly recover the touch that took
him to the final last year. But the
form says it is Riggs, McNeill and
Kovacs who will play the best tennis,
and the form probably is right.
Riggs is small, Kovacs is tall; Nc
Neill is middle-sized. Kovacs has
the best stroke equipment. Riggs
has the best temperament and tennis
brain. Mcneil has the speed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 M.AN.A)-
The national tennis singles tourna-
ment is about to get under way.
Nope, no professionals. Just pro-
fessional amateurs. In other words,
the United States Lawn Tennis AS
sociation will give the public a
pretty good second-class tournament

one
You can't blame the U. S. L. T, A,
They have to get permission from

they can stage open tennis over

federation? 1t left no forwarding

China.
Chancellor Hitler and Premier
Mussolini now are in charge Of
tennis in Europe, and until they give
the word that this country may go
ahead with an open tournament,
what can we do? It's tough Situa-
tion, but you wouldn't want the
U. S. L. T. A. to violate section XIV.
rule B 2, would you, just for the
public's sake? Nossir.
While waiting for Hitler's o. x,
therefore, we must make the best OF

"Wear a Forget-Ne.Not" will be the plea of nearly hundred vol- unteer workers on the streets of the city tomorrow, urging the pub- lie to remember their war time promises to help those disabled in the service, by wearing the little blue flower of remembrance.
 These volunteer workers will be under the direction of Chairman J. Peter Costigan, and Mrs. Josephine Donohue, president of the Women's Auxiliary.
 The F'orget-Me-Not drive is being conducted by Waterbury Chapter No. 9 of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War to raise funds to take care of the emer- gency relief problems among war disabled veterans, and to help main- tam free rehabilitation service for our comrades with service connected disabilities.

Some folks put a board on top to keep the leaves from blowing away, others spread cedar bows or hem- lock limbs on top. The prettiest sight we've seen is a little white cottage with a window of hem- lock bows that stay green until spring. Leaves make a good in- sulator and there's a new crop handy every fall.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-03-11

President Roosevelt has suggested a
solution to the mix-up about reapportion-
ment of Representatives in Congress. In
his letter to the House of Representatives
Committee on the Census he states that the
twentieth amendment of the Constitution
which changed the terms of the President
and Vice-President, and Senators and
Representatives to begin in January,
makes it impossible for the President to
submit statement of population to the
Congress in time to make the reapportion-
ment this year. He suggests that the law
be changed so that the Presidents state
ment may be sent to the first regular ses-
sion of the 18th Congress- which will be
in January, 1941.
The effect of the change prevents
the election of Congress on reappor-
toned basis in 1910. Therefore, those
states that show gain, or loss, in popula-
ton will have to wait until the elections OF
1912 for new reapportionment.
In connection with the above it may
be said that the general feeling has pre-
vailed in Washington for many years that
the membership of the House is already so
large that it is clumsy in operation. For
that reason the old method of increasing
representation at reapportionment-time
was abandoned many years ago, and
whenever new lineup is made on the
basis of census some States stand to lose,
while others gain
