Will
IT has often been observed, no one is indispensible. 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.

A DOO IS A
The virus of rabies may be ln
dog's saliva four or five days before
the animal shows any symptoms of
Illness. 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

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

la shot or dies, the next best thing
is to take or ship the animal or the

in Ice If It has to be shipped a con

It will be high-powered stuff. But
you can't tell about that, of course,
