TUB ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. SATURDAY. MAY P>. 1913. Three Hundred Cases of Rabies Treated Already This Year Presented as Argument. By JAMES B. NEVIN. •be Stati Board of Health will uig> upon tiie incoming Legislature, is directly as it may, the great desir ability of a dog-muzzling law n (Georgia. The board is realizing that* it is somewhat difficult to enact any sort •f legislation having to do with dogs n this State, and to make that leg- siation effective after it has been enacted. Still, when the people ar* j made to understand, if they can be made to understand, thrit an enforced dog-muzzling law would in three years rid Georgia of all danger «»f rabies, and that already this year the department has treated"at the capital 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 la w. A dog-muzzling law will < be of fered in the Legislature, and it will be vigorously backed, not only oy health boaruo and doctors throughout the State, but b\ several Influential members. The State Board of Health feele 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 "yal- ler” curs and "flop-eared" hounds of the more rural persuasion. If the State Board of Health can succeed in showing conclusively however, that the dogs are getting to be. year by year, a more and more deadly peril to the people, and par ticularly to children—for they com pose by far the greater portion of the patients treated—the chances are that some effective legislation may be ob tained during the forthcoming sum mer session. And, anyway, the board has every intention of putting the matter up to the General Assembly, fairly and 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- viHe—and the other will provide for ■he substitution of the electric chair for the gallows. Both bills are thought to have ex- client 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 prominenf 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 Macon 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- Aldrioh law and it is retained in the Underwood 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 Manticello News thinks th-‘ next Legislature can increase the State's available funds for appre- priations to its various institutions by abolishing a few jobs around and shout. The News will be called down for SHOP TALK JOSEPH W. AWTRV. Mr. Awtry is leaving the Carleton Shoe Company, after ten years in the shoe business, to . become secretary and treasurer of the Barclay & Bran don Co., which recently moved Its es tablishment to Ivy and Baker Streets. The Barclay & Brandon Co. hat been-established for 25 years, and Mr. Awtry virtually takes the place left vacant by the death of Mr. Barclay. He will be actively identified with all the firm’s details. Mr. Awtry can claim a host of friends who are pleased to learn of his new connection. 500 Newsboys Will Be Guests at Feast S. V. D.

When a man with a trombline slide the first notes of 'Dixie’’ out of hi horn at 3 o’clock this afternoon 20,000 Atlanta children spread over Grant Park like bee/» over a . flower searching for 200,000 candy eggs in the weeds and grass. For to-day was the day of the annual Blaster egg hunt of the Atlanta Park Board, an event children have been looking tor- 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 rfotuous 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 men busy all day. The 41 prize eggs, however, were really hidden. Forty of these prize tggs are made of wood and bear num bers. When presented at the pavilion the child lucky finder , was given a prize bearing a corresponding num ber. The graqd prize was a "golden egg." This egg ig made of brass, 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. C. Puckett, T. L. Bond, R. A. Burnett, C. I. Branan and Roger Winter. 9CJHD- dfrlovm Report on Sociology Congress in Church Members of Central Congregational To-morrow Will Give Short Talks on Impresaona.

After standing by for fifteen min utes listening to the stream of ques; tions put to a policeman at h ;bus> comer tjie woman said: "Don’t you get awfully tired of an swering all these fool questions that are put to you hour after hour'.”' "Well, rather," said he.

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 Fightieth 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 Resigned. "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 e 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 minded 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 SOME 7 ) When it is a question of restoring the appe- petite, toning arid strengthening the di gestive system and keeping the bowels open, ATHENS, GA„ May 3.—The Uni- versify 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.
