Things You Should Know
III!
by John jonoph Gaines, M. D.
HYDROPHOBIA
An undent term, but one which
conies li'.-fora us every now and
then, with an ncutoness that pales
the face with terror. In its lit
eral meaning, hydrophobia Is "dread
of water," as "photophobia" is
dread of light All "phohias" in
medical language are "dreads",
"Babies" a shorter word, has ita
orig'n In "rage" madness from
the French, hence, "mad-dog."
Other animals than the dog art
susceptible to rabies, the horse, the
cow, the cat and the rodents, rats,
mice, etc.; it has been suggested
that the bite of the skunk may bo
followed by hydrophobia. The ppi
son is one of the most active
known, and, until the discovery of
the Pasteur treatment, its pres
ence spelled certain death.
Something may be said hero,
that will prove of value to my
reader; if your pet suddenly shows
signs of illness, you should at
once put him Into an absolutely
safe isoU. ion, and summon a
skilled veterinary doctor. If your
little dog be.-r'na.to net strangely
shows no sign of affection for
you hides hi nself trembles, as if
excited or suit .ring, you cannot be
too active in 'irccaution; let me
repent, better is safe than sorry.
In the very unfortunate event of.
your being bitten by a dog, bear in
mind that "a bite through clothing
is many times less liable to be fol
lowed by infection than one on a
bare surface. Another point: Th8
dog that bites you should be im'
prisoned and watched to see if he
is actually diseased; to kill him and
burn his body is to destroy valu
able evidence. ( .
The so-called "mad - stone,"
known in rural communities, has
no known scientific value, and
should not be depended upon; cases
of reported "cures" by it were not
hydrophobic to begin with. One of
the brightest stais in the Crown of
scientific medicine is its mastery
pf this dread infection. 1

A recent speaker at assembly men
tioned the amount of money the dis
trict spend educating us, and
brought up the question of whether
we are worthy of it or not.,
Ho did not, however, include the
building nnd equipment given us to
use, In his statement of our District's
generosity.
Hud ho done this, it is to be feared
that some of us would have been
clussed as unworthy. For when
students deliberately set about to de
face desks and table by carving and
whittling them and to pull chairs to
pieces when they know they are not
being watched, it certainly is proof
that they tlther haven't the intelli-

New York City. George Olsen,

finds "In a Little Spanish Town"
among the list of best selling pop

and almost lost a radio friend
thereby.
-It all happened when he an
nounced over the radio that the
number would be a great success.
By the first mail he received a
letter from an upstate radio man
complaining about his obvious ef
fort to form people's opinions.
"I was perfectly innocent of any
intention to offend," says Olsen,
"and it hurt my feeling so that I
refrained thereafter from ex
priwing any opinions on music.
"The other day, though, I got
mother letter from the man he
lives in Syracuse telling me that

Last year those who saw the Country
Fair enjoyed it very much, so plan

CRYSTAL BALL
Tho mist clears and I see a crowd

rises and a play is beginning. The
crowd sits perfectly silent until the
two leodinir characters make their
entrance, then there is a tremendous

ly at the scene I see that the two to
whom the applause was given are our
friends' Florence Bicrce and Give

don't think it is a bad idea after
all for a broadcaster to call peo-

or anything else.'
"As a matter of fact, I am sure
he is quite right. Why do people
buy certain newspapers and not
others? Isn't it because they
want to read their favorite critic,
book reviewer or editorial writer?
"They're willing to have these
people express opinions and of
course they reject or, accept ex

Bordeaux spray, 6-6-50 strength,

Lime sulfur is used later but cannot

Selection of the best tuber for
seed potatoes is made now, according
to the Oregon experiment station.
The best size for seed is 4 ounces.
Tubers well filled out on the ends are
desirable. Better results are obtain

small heaps. Cutworm poison bran
mash, with calcium arsenate as the
poison, is of nearly equal value to
the lettuce leaf bait.
Small white insects found on house
plants in Oregon are controlled by
spraying. These insects are known
as greenhouse white flies. A spray of
whale oil soap 1 ounces and water
1 gallon is satisfactory., This kills
the insect by contact, so several ap
plications at weekly intervals are
necessary.
