Belle, a 2-vear-old German po lice dog bhelonging to Earl Day, grabbed a dog with rabies when the latter ran into a vard in which many children were playing. Belle held the dog, and all but one child escaped unharmed. This c¢hild, Jessie Frank Amos, age 2, ran up to the two dogs, and was bitten by the mad dog. The Amos child is responding nicely to treatments. Saturday was the ninth day fol lowing Belle's encounter with the mad dog. Rabies will show up on the tenth day. Belle should have been given a treatment Saturday, but untii someone contributes $lO —the cost of the treatment—Dßelle must linger in the shadow of ra bhies—and death. Today Belle is muzzled and chained at home. Yet she doesn‘t seem sorry that she risks—or may ultimately give—hei life to save the children. She prances around the yard, and wags hel tail to make friends with- visitors who peer at her from over the fence. Thus a heroine waits - chained and muzzled : waiting for a generous public to « mtribute for her treatment . [ waiting si lently for death.

W. I. Moss, dean of Univer isity of Georgia Medical college at FAugusta it was revealed at the Georgia Academy of Science which elosed its sessions here yesterday. The discovery resulting from Dr. Moss' researches is that the Fiji islanders, hitherto considered of Melanesian strain are more Poly nesian than Melanesian, The Poly nesians are a branch of the Malay race, an offshot from the Asiatic Caucasians. The researches lead [ing to this discovery are regarded as of great importance to anthro pology. Dr. Moss collected hig data while on the Cornelius Crane Pa cific Expedition a few years ago.
