all dog-owners, Dr.. Gerry 3.
Schnelle, Acting Chief Of Staff of
the Angel Memorial Animal Hos
pital Of the Massachusetts S. 2.
c. A., 100 Longwood Avenue, Bos-
ton, yesterday urged them to ex-
ercise greater caution concerning
the welfare Of their pets, due to
the increased numbers Of auto
mobiles that are constantly ap-
pearing on the highways.
AT our Angel Memorial Ami
NAL Hospital" stated DR.. Schnelle,
the number of serious automo-
bile accident cases has increased
with the advent of good
weather, and the resultant in
crease in automobiles on the road.
Dog-owners are urged to keep
their pets on leash or otherwise
confined, especially in locations
where the traffic is heavy, and
in other areas at the time Of day
when cars are most numerous.
Or. Schnelle further pointed
out that when accidents do occur,
owners should lose no time in
.aking their pets to the nearest
veterinarian for treatment, be-
,ause no matter how minor the
injury appears to be, many seri-
JUS internal complications might
'nsue if prompt attention is not

Many others have brought them In to

All in all, there is not much to say for
such superstition. It belongs to Ii
brary Of beliefs showing the human
mind to be what it is, indeed, strange
thing, a ragbag Of odds and ends.
As II this were not bad enough, in
recent years we have been told that we
have not only conscious mind, but an
unconscious mind, and other minds even
farther back and farther down in the
scale.
The herd mind, or mass mind, is a
terrible thing, in which the individual
gives up what little restraint he has
worked up and reverts to the pande-
monium of the ancientS.
Man has tried to overcome superstition
and odd beliefs, based on nothing much,
by education. In doing so he has found.
in moments Of individual and national
and international stress, that the emo
