Mail carriers in Atlanta have called on government officials for protection from vicous dogs. The authorities are going to see that everything possible is done to save troSsers and prevent pain ful injuries from canine teeth, and As sistant Postmaster Coles announced today that no more mail will be deliv- at homes where dangerous dogs are allowed their freedom. The decision came following injuries received today by Carrier Stroud on East Linden street. He was severely bitten by a bulldog and fears rabies. Little more than two weeks ago Al ver A. Thomas, carrier in West End. was bitten by a dog, and after the an imal had been killed and the head ex amined by state officials in the Pas teur department it was found the dog had rabies. Physicians announced that Mr. Thomas is in danger of having an attack of it and are giving Ijim treat ment. A number of other carriers have been bitten recently. “If people do not care enough for the public safety to do away with vicious dogs or even chain them in a secluded part of their yards, the government is not very anxious to deliver their mail,” said Mr. Coles today. “The postal regulations provide that carriers do not have to deliver it at houses where such dogs are kept, and they positively will not do so in Atlan ta hereafter. It is either get rid of the dogs or do without the carrier’s serv ices.” The highest point of woman’s hap piness is reached only through moth erhood, In the clasping of her child within her arms. * Yet the mother-to be is often fearful of nature's ordeal and shrinks from the suffering Inci dent to its consummation.
