Bdhia-mdrked on maps as
SalUador-big shipping port for
sugar, coffee and other products
from plantations In the hinter-
land-the city aohich originated

famous la the United States by
Carmen Miranda. You'H enjoy

following drticle.-EDnToR
One would look in vain on most
maps of Brazil for town by the
name of Bahia-which seems sur
prising when one has been told that
it is the fourth largest city of the
country and its one-time capital.
Of its full title of Sac Salvador
da Bahia de Todos os Santos (Saint
Salvador of the Bay of all Saints)
the word Salvador has been chosen
to be today the city's official name.
Traditional Bahianos, however,
still cling to the old apellation of
Bahia by which their city has been
known ever since its foundation.
Thus Bahia is Salvador on all of
fetal documents but still Bahia-the-
bay in the hearts of its people.
Few towns have had a more inn
portant and interesting place in the
history and culture of Brazil than
Bahia. The bay which it overlooks
was discovered on November /, 1901,
by a Portuguese expedition under
Dom Nuno Manoel and with Amerigo
Vespucci as navigator, the latter
returning to Bahia in 1903 to lead
the first European expedition into
the interior of Brazil.
In 1884 a small settlement was
established on the present site of the
city,; this, however, was soon
destroyed by cannibals and its in
habitants were taken prisoners.
In 1549 Tome de Souza. military
engineer, was sent by the King of
Portugal with a small military force
to establish strong government al
Bahia. He was the one to chose
its site-much more adequate for a
fort than for city-on top of a
cliff which rises perpendicularly
above what is today the port.
There is no doubt, however, that
Tome de Souzas choice was for
tunate one, for two-tiered Bahia (the
city is built on two levels) prospered
and eventually became the capital OF
Brazil until 1T63,-with a brief in
tervai when it was occupied by the
Dutch in 1624-25.
1t northumberland still does-its
original military character as a
picturesque city of upper and lower
settlements with steep paths and
dominating terraces the surrounding
settlements separated from each
other by violent Typographical ac-
cidents, although today the two
levels are connected by six lifts and
several roads.
Plantations sprung up on the
region which surrounds the city
long the richest and most prosperous
of Brazil-and their wealthy owners
lived in great style at Bahia.
Magnificent buildings were erected
in perfect Portuguese Brazilian -Baro-
que style of the period, some of
those of the 18th century already
being six and seven stories high.
Furthermore a large number OF
beautiful churches were built ir
Bahia-called sometimes for thai
reason the Rome of the Americas
and their gilded interiors and bright
tiles are still of great interest tc
visitors today.
To serve on the estates of wealthy
Bahian planters, negroes were soor
imported-most of them coming
from relatively highly civilized re
gions of Africa, which may in some

The present program of work for
prisoners of war schedules from
$4,000 to 100000 to be employed in
agriculture with the peak number at
work in late October and early

starts at a three day shoot which
will wind up with the famous Grand
American Handicap, the shoot that
has never been won twice by the
same person.
Because of the shortage of shells
the meet has been run only for
three days the last three years-it
once ran days-and this lack made
it necessary for contestants to go
into action without the practice that
precedes The Grand in pre-war
years.
The North American Clay target
championship for both men and
women is the first event and the
scores fired in the first 100 targets
counts in the various minor cham
pionships.
The event matching the various
state title winners, "The Champion
of Champions" match is the most
priced event. John A. Peterson of
Racine, Wis, won the crown last
year.
Captain Joe Heistand of Hillsboro

women's crown. Mrs. Knuth also

A CURIOUS place is this Bag
IA dad on the Subway, as O.
Henry called it. Many years
ago, when we were children,
the town elected one William
Jay Gaynor, a follower OF
Epictetus, mayor and enjoyed
the spectacle.
Gaynor was a master OF pro-
found badinage - which meant
nothing-and the citizens loved
it. ffencefUrth a mayor had TO
be a combination of executive
and mountebank. in a word, a
character, as Damon Runyon
would have it.
The most brilliant and be-
loved of such mayors was
Jimmy Walker who now pre-
sides over the circus of saints
and sinners. OF Jimmy. it can
be said that his worst vice,
apart frorn such as we are told
about in Sunday school, was an
inability TO hurt OF disappoint a
friend.
He made as good mayor as
this city seemed in those days
to need. No election has passed
since he retired from office, to
put it in its proper phraseology,
that some sizable part Of the
population did net express the
desire that he run.
IIMMY'S successor is the lu-
d gubrious Fiorello LaGuardia,
variously known as The Little
Flower" The Little Stink
Weed" Butch" and The

LaGuardia has two virtues:

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Herman Bundesen

DABIES is a disease produced
IL by the bite of a mad animal,
especially OF a mad or rabid dog.
Medically. IL is known IS "hy-
drophobia." hydro" meaning
water and "phobia" meaning
fear. In rabies, one OF the
symptoms is fear OF an inability
TO swallow liquids.
Hydrophobia Is not a major
public health problem IN the
United States. 1t would appear
that the annual number Of cases
in human beings averages
slightly under 100 per year.
However. in a person who has
just been bitten by dog the
possibility OF rabies developing
is a very serious matter TO him
since the disease, once II de-
Velops. Is always fatal.
Rabies is caused by filtrable
virus. that is, an organism so
small that il can pass through
the openings in a porcelain
filter. The virus is found in the
saliva. in the salivary glands
and in certain nerve tissues.
The virus is transmitted through
a bite and, rarely. by contami-
nation OF an open wound by
infected saliva.
OUCH animals as dogs. wolves,
" foxes, coyotes. hyenas and
jackalS may be affected by ra-
bies, but through the bites Of
these animals il may be trans
mitted 10 other animals such
rs horses. mules. cows, skunks,
sheep and pigs. Rabies has
never been known 10 be trans
mitted from one human being
TO another.
Local outbreaks of rabies
occur from time TO time in vari-
Gus parts of the United States.
II is not a seasonal disease.
There is no relationship between
the disorder and the so-called
dog days. y
About one out Of every six
persons who Is bitten by rabid
dog will develop rabies If no
preventive measures are taken,
but the chances OF developing
the disease will depend on the
number of bites, the type of
wound. whether the bitten part
was covered or bare when the
biting occurred and upon the
animal doing the biting. The
danger decreases in the follow
ing order: wolves, cats, dogs and
other animals.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-09

THE time at which the disease
l. will develop varies. depend
ing on where the bite is located.
The period is shortest for bites
on the face and longer for those
on the foot, and the period is
shorter in children than in
grownups. For most human
cases. the period varies from 20
10 90 days. the shortest being
y and the longest ll3 days.
II the animal causing a bite is
obviously rabid, If the animal
cannot be caught, or If the bite
is on the face or neck. injections
Of anti-rabic vaccine should be
begun at once and completed
within Ii days If possible II.
in other instances, the animal
has been caught. and at the end
OF Ia days he is still well. no
anti-rabic vaccine need be used.
or If treatment has already been
started in the case OF a face or
neck bite, the treatment may be
stopped. II the animal dies be-
fore IL days, the brain should
at once be examined and II posi-
tive diagnosis OF rabies is made,
vaccine should be injected i'm
mediately.
