A "mad dog" or rabies scare is again sweeping the country. Although there are state laws requiring rabies inoculations for dogs, several Kansas counties, including Douglas, are now under quarantine. One Lawrence dog, after biting several others, was found to have the disease. It is well that the local quarantine was finally put into effect.
Rabies Menace Sweeps Mid-West
Rabies causes one of the most horrible and convulsive deaths, preceded by a few days of fever, frothing at the mouth, and loss of sanity. It is always fatal if treatment is not started early. The onset of the disease is characterized by nightmares, mental depression, and restlessness. Hydrophobia (fear of water) develops within 24 to 48 hours after the disease begins; the patient has terrible convulsions in the attempt to swallow water. The Pasteur treatment for rabies is a preventive, not a cure, and is in itself dangerous. It makes most patients seriously ill, and is fatal in one per cent of the cases.
The point stressed by doctors in case of dog-bite is that the animal should not be killed. It should be caught and held for observation. The incubation period for rabies in dogs is from 15 to 30 days. The human period lasts from 50 to 60 days, so that if the dog does show positive rabies, there is still time to treat the victim. If it is necessary to shoot the dog, its head should be sent to a laboratory for analysis.
The rabies problem has been controlled in Great Britain and Scandinavia where it has been virtually eliminated through a program calling for the destruction of ownerless dogs and the muzzling of all others allowed on the streets. Most American cities have ordinances giving authorities the same power to control the dog menace, but the laws are commonly disregarded.
DR. H. A. JACK--to address members of the journalism department. Tuesday Mr. Cartlich decided that since he was to speak later that afternoon he would not talk at the luncheon, and Shack rats decided to wait until the afternoon meeting to hear him. Unaware of the change in plans, Pat arrived at the Colonial at the appointed hour, and was met at the door by members of the faculty, who asked her to "come right on in and join the party."

Our Gratitude for the Co-operation of Mr. T.-When occupational therapy students chose the book, "Tom Sawyer" for the basis of their big spring puppet-show production, they found some revamping was necessary to make the play fit their stage. The co-authors, who have met and conquered at least a hundred major problems to date in their adaptation of the script, have titled the masterpiece:

And No Admission Charged—For an evening's entertainment guaranteed to amuse, just draw up a comfortable chair, call 348, home of TKE, and listen—for as long as you can take it. Debunking the 3-ring circus idea, the TKE's have gone in for business on a larger scale, and employ all five trunks of the chapter hone in their nightly seance.

Tuberculosis cases have increased in this area since the war started, said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson. The number of cases was relatively low here, before the war.
The X-ray takes only a few minutes, and everyone who has not had an X-ray examination of his lungs within the past two years, should take advantage of this opportunity, said Dr. Canuteson.
