And of course in the larger scheme of things no one is. As one drops from the ranks, there is always the inexhaustible reserve, another fills the gap and the steady march of life goes on. But when the news of Will Rogers' sudden death came over the wire, we believe there were many to question the truth of such a generalization as far as HE is concerned. FOR Bill had become through the years such a fixture in our daily life, such an institution his daily column, his fa miliar face on the screen, his quaint humor and wise philosophy, such a part of our daily fare that to have it all wiped out in one swift crash of a plane wellt how can the world ever be quite the samet Of course in this personal sense, it CAN'T be. There was only ONE Will Rogers. Never anyone quite like him before; there will never be anyone quite like him again. The mold that made him, has by his death, been smashed, never to be replaced, or repaired. ' And that, of course, is his immortality. But the world won't stop in its flight through space, nor we humans scurrying willy nilly over its surface just a shock, a sigh, a tear, a pause, again the Director's baton waves, and the dance of life goes on 1 . TIEE striking thing about Will Rogers, was that unlike Homer, he never nodded. He never slipped. If be had ordinary feet of clay, he never showed them. No matter what role he was called upon to play, he never struck a false note. His sudden emergence into fame was amazing. But the way he sustained the pace, that brought him fame, was even more amazing. There were probably two main reasons for this phenomenal record. In the first place he had a simple honesty and integrity of character, that was as unyielding as the rock of Gibraltar; and behind that quaint, homespun face of his there lurked a brain, that was keen as a razor Tankee trader. Bill liked to act the illiterate cracker barrel philosopher, J and pretend ignorance of the world, but it was all one of his Bill not only knew his way about, but he possessed more true wisdom than most of the wise boys he met, could acquire in a lifetime. But he never let on except when it was to his advan tage to do so, and it seldom was. TttT,-. , . . , . .. TTiMfrrn HEN he was always, everywhere, and at all times, HIMSELF. He achieved wealth, fame, universal acclaim, but at heart . , , he never changed. It is a terribly trite phrase, but no other better fits him, he was one of Nature's nobleman. No matter where he appeared, and in his life he appeared practically everywhere, whether in the White House or Buck ingham palace; joshing with the extras on the movie lot, or tete-a-teting with, a duke; rubbing elbows with the polo crowd, or roping calves on the Big Z ranch he was always the same Bill, kindly, simple, easy going, humorous, entirely himself mtminmtr im nin r k ar k j . i. u and ENTIRELY AT HIS EASE. And no matter how much he unbent. how familiar he or others might be, never did he lose that certain native dignity. IT may have been the Indian in could meet him, without being impressed with the fact that there was something more to "Will Rogers than met the eye, a kind of simple one might almost say IMPRESSIVE grandeur and a baffling reserve as well. And how Bill detested ostentation and sham. How juick he was to detect either and annihilate them with just the proper phrase and manner, the victim never knowing whether to laugh or swear. fNE of the first aviation fans, Bill never went anywhere by train or motor if he could get there in a plane. He said he loved to fly and we have a hunch the "descendant of old Chero kee chiefs" was even more at home, up there in the clouds than he was anywhere else. So it was fitting that in a sudden crash from the clouds through the cold, clean purity of Arctic night, Will Rogers should have met his end. He loved life. But if he had to die we have an idea he would have chosen that way. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyrc NEW ORK, Aug. 16 Thoughts while utrolllng: oeorge M. Coha-a U crowd tick. too.

Therefore Authorities aqree that it Is suffi cient to watch a dog that has bit ten a person or another 'ani mal for ten days. If the dog shows no symptoms of rabies during this ten days' obser vation period, there Is no dan ger that the bite wound conveyed the disease ra bies, and . no Pasteur treatment Is necessary. Personally, I stll have the gravest doubt that rabies occurs ln man. Mind. I don't know any more about this than the genera! medical pro fession knows. Most good doctors be lieve rabies occurs ln man. Since we have no specific test for rabies, the question Is necessarily one of opinion. Physicians and health authorities who believe rabies occurs ln man aUilHlog constipation habit. Before I agree that when, or If, It does occur ln man the outcome Is invariably lu tal, regardless of treatment, whether Pasteur treatment or any modifica tion of it is given. But they are like wise of one mind upon the preven tive of prophylactic value of Pasteur treatment If this Is given directly after the victim is bitten. Pasteur treatment consists of a series of dally Injections of a vaccine, for at least 14 days, better for three or four weeks Obviously, the use of Pasteur treat ment for prevention of rabies in volves beginning the treatment mere suspicion. That being so. no body knows how efficacious it may be. I wish to heaven I could conscien tiously tnke the more conventional attitude of physicians ln regard to rabies. I have tossed many hours many nights time I might better have given to a murder mystery thrashing over this problem in the hope of finding a comfortable posi tion. These debates with myself have lways ended In a shudder when I iask myself what I would do If nry Icma wcre bltten by rab,d ,0K I1" Cl111 ln Bcod doctor, of course. ;But If It were left to my Judgment whether to use Pasteur treatment, i d say no.

Only a physician with modern training can give a minor wound aseptic surgical treatment. No nurse, mother, first aid operator or old fogy doctor understands this. In any case of bite or wound by an animal it Is always best to have the animal confined under the observa tion of a veterinary for ten days. If the veterinary finds no signs of Ill ness In that time, there is nothing more to worry about. Never permit anyooay to snoot such an animal be fore an attempt can be made to cap ture and observe. But If the animal la shot or dies, the next best thing is to take or ship the animal or the head Immediately to the laboratory designated by your tpcsl health off! cer, for examination.
