1 TTTE ATLANTA OKOHOJAN AN I) NEWS, SATIKDAY. .M A \ 3, 11113. Three Hundred Cases of Rabies Treated Already This Year Presented as Argument. By JAMES B. NEVIN. The State Board of Health will urge upon the incoming Legislature, as directly as it may, the great desir ability of a dog-muzzling law in Georgia. The board is realizing that it is somewhat difficult to enact any sort of legislation having to do with dogs in this State, and to make that leg islation effective after it has been enacted. Still, when the people are made to understand, if they can be made to understand, that an enforced dog-muzzling law would in three years rid Georgia of all danger of rabies, and that already this year the department has treated at the capitol well over three hundred cases of this dreadful disease, the board be lieves the Legislature may be brought to see the very great desirability, if not absolute necessity, of such a law. A dog-muzzling law will be of fered in the Legislature, and it will be vigorously backed, not only oy health boaiv s and doctors throughout the State, but by several influential members. The State Board of Health feels that the mere muzzling of dogs, entailing some possible discomfort up on them, as it may, still is infinite ly preferable to an ever-increasing list of patients to be treated for rab ies. Dog tax laws always have been unpopular in Georgia, and those that have been passed never have been en forced. The dogs seems to have plenty of friends In Georgia—even the “val- ler” curs and “flop-eaTed” hounds of the more rural persuasion. If the State Board of Health cun succeed in showing conclusively however, that the dogs are getting to be, year by year, a more and more deadly peril tc the people, and par ticularly to children—for they com pose by far the greater portion of tho patients treated—the chances are that some effective legislation may be ob tained during the forth ming sum mer session. And, anyway, the board has every Intention of putting the matter up co the General Assembly, fairly ami squarely. A member-elect of the incoming Legislature has prepared two com panion bills for the General Assem bly’s early consideration, both of which are of far-reaching consequence and assured of strong support. One bill will provide for a cen tral point of execution for crime in capital cases—probably at Milledge- ville—and the other will provide for the substitution of the electric chair for the gallows. Both bills are thought to have ex cellent chances of passing the next Legislature. Elaborate arrangements are under way, looking to the sumptuous enter tainment of Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy, when he visits Savannah on or about May 10. It is planned to give him a banquet at the De Soto Hotel, to which a hun dred or more prominent South Geor gians will be invited. The Secretary will be asked to deliver an address at this dinner, and to discuss particu larly the navy and its possible rela tion to Savannah, and the coast cities of Georgia. The Macjn Telegraph should worry and get a wrinkle, for this is the lat est obsession it is entertaining: “There is a duty of 45 cents a gal lon on grape juice under the Payne- Aldrich law and it is retained in the Cnderwood bill, but if it is to become a fashionable drink, it will have to go on the free list as a necessary of life.” The Monticello News thinks the next Legislature can increase the State’s available funds for appre - priations to its various institutions by abolishing a few jobs around and about.

Woman is interested and should know about the wonderful Marvel Children of Atlanta Contest for Prizes This Afternoon in Annual “Easter'’ Hunt. When a man with a trfcmbllne slide the first notes of “Dixie” out of hL horn at 3 o’clock this afternoon 20,000 Atlanta children spread over Grant Park like bees over a flower searching for 200,000 candy eggs in the weedo and grass. For to-day was the day of the annual Easter egg hunt of the Atlanta Park Board, an event children have been looking for ward to for months. All morning 15 or 20 men have worked, scattering the vast number of eggs, and as the children line up on the boundary lines and impatiently await the signal. Grant Park looked like an old-fashioned “crazy quilt.” Red egg lay side by side with blue egg, and yellow egg nestle against white in a riotuous maze of color. No attempt was made to hide the 200,000 eggs the children tried to find. They were simply sown over the ground from large baskets, and even that work kept the 20 min busy all day. f The 41 prize eggs, however, were really hidden. Forty of these prize ♦ ggs are made of wood and bear num bers. When presented at the pavilion the child lucky finder was given c priz • bearing a corresponding num ber. The grand prize was a “golden egg.” This egg is made of bras*, and inside of It was an order for a five dollar gold piece. ‘ To prevent a repetition of accidents that marred the hunt last year, all vehicles were excluded from the park from 12 o’clock until the egg hunt was over. The committee in charge of the egg hunt comprises W. (\ Puckett, T. L. Bond, R. A. Burnett, C. I. Branan and Roger Winter. to Report on Sociology Congress in Church Members of Central Congregational To-morrcw Will Give Short Talks on Impressons.

GEORGIA TO TAKE PART IN TRIANGULAR DEBATE ATHENS, GA„ May 3.—The Uni- versity of Georgia will have two de bating teams in the field to-night, one in Athens against a Washington and Lee team and one in New Orleans against Tulane. II. L. Rogers, of Reidsville. and Ira Funkenstein. of Athens, will speak here. W. A. Mann, of .Milner, and Calvin George, of Madison, are in New Orleans. They 'will debate the ques tion that labor unions subserve the best interests of the country. The Question That Always Made Him Boil. After standing by for fifteen min utes listening to the stream of ques ^ions put to a policeman at a bus.\ corner the woman said: “Dop’t you get awfully tired of an swering all these fool questions that are put to you hour after hour?” "Well, rather.’’ said he. “Still I’ve got so used to it that there is only One of the lot that makes me actual ly boil.” “Which one is that?” she inquired. “Don’t I get awfully tired of an swering all the fool questions that other folks ask.” “Oh,” said the woman, and hur ried on. * • • Cats For Rent Is the Latest. A well-known Atlantan just back from a trip to New York tells this one: In the window’ of an animal and bird store not far from Broadway and Eightieth Street hangs a sign that says: "Nancy, our Angora cat that catches mice and rats, can be rented by the day or week.” * * ♦ How Motion Signs Are Now Designed. “The electric sign is only in its infancy," said a well-known electri cian yesterday. “I was in New York last week and made it a point to see all the big electrical signs that I could. I met the junior member of an electrical sign construction com pany and while we were walking up Broadway after the theater he called my attention to one of the blazing displays in which a horse appears on a gallop. “ 'Has it ever occurred to you,’ said he, ‘how detailed must be the work of the sign builder to represent the movements of living beings in bulbs, and make them artistically realis tic? We have to go far afield some times to obtain the lifelike effect. That horse, for example, plants his hoofs just as in real life—otherwise that sign would be an animated car toon. Now, to get the individual or disjointed movements of the legs In their order of sequence the builder ininued that the eye of the camera is keener than man’s, procured the mo tion picture film of a galloping horse and, examining each snapshot, drew his plans in duplicate. Flashing his bulbs on and off with the same speed employed by a movie operator, the designer has produced the effect of smooth and continuous motion.’ ” fioiNG somFI When it is a question of restoring the appe- petite, toning and strengthening the di gestive system and keeping the bowels open, HOSTETTER’S Stomach Bitters will prove it is capa ble of “going some.” You really should try a bottle to-day I ourdnurtrlstfor c he cannot sup- die MARVEL. >t no other, but stamp forbook.

Colonel . qindsay Johnson, eff Rome, forsook the Shanghai trail long enough this week to run over from Washington to New York, and have a look in on Gay Manhattan. While Colonel Johnson was enjoy ing the Great White Wav In one end of the nation. Colonel William Jen- ings Bryan was stacking up against California in the other. Never sinre the iniquitous "crime of ’73" ha/e these two Colonels been so far apa Colonel Johnson's nomination to be United States Consul to Shanghai is looked for within the next week or ten days. The Railroad Commission will ask the Legislature for authority to or der the erection of union passenger stations In cities and towns in Geor gia, where, In the opinion of the com mission, the conditions make such stations desirable and necessary to the accommodation of the traveling public. The commission now has authority to order the erection of separate sta tions, but it has no authority what ever in the matter of compelling union stations. The Lavonia Timq^ refers to hi n as “Commissioner of Agriculture O’Conner.” If the Commissioner now is able to establish the fact that lie was born on the 17th of St. Patrick’s Day, he would seem to have the Irish vote cinched, all right. Those esteemed contemporaries around and about Georgia that think Atlanta’s recent spasm of grand opera more or less amusing, should drop in next July and August and see the Jaw-jaw Legislature in session.
