DITIER FIGHTS FOR POTATO PROOOCERS
AFPRCPRIATION       UNCONSTITU¬ TIONAL
FUes His Falcon at Amb>r Al Nye, varsity en;l of the Unlver- .silty of Pennsylvania's 193,") loot-liall team, and his huntin.? falcon, "Black Mistress," were the main attraction la.st week at the sports show at the store of W. C. Fleck and Bros., 30'i York   road,  Jenkintown.
Nye's bird I's a peregrine falcon, one of three in Phila. It has jet black plumage and a wing spread of four feet. The bird, which the college student has owned and trained .since last April, was Uiken from a nest near the Canadian border. It lives.on sunny days, on the roof; on stormy dayis, in the basement of Nye's IraternSty house at 390S Spruce sereet. Two or three times a wc^ek Xye takes the bird out noar Ambler and flies it. It hunts crows, stailinBs\ an.l, in  season,  game  birds.
During the sp'irts disi)lay Xye- ex- hibited his bird and answered visi¬ tors' queries on falconry. A large collection of fishing tackle and oase- ball equlpmenit comprised the larger part  of  the  show.
Congressman Takes the Floor In De¬ fense of Potato Growers Who Are Well Abe to De-iide How Much to Plant   in   View  of   Experience
Asserting it to be clearly unconstl- tullon'.il and uitterly. without justifi¬ cation. Congressman J. William Dit¬ ter urged rejection of an appropria¬ tion of $1,250,000' to finance eniorce- ment ot the Potato Control Act when the prop>sitlon was debaited In Con- vress. : . i  ('i.'
Mr.  Ditter  .said:
The deficiency appropriation bill now before the House Inc'uJes an appropriation of $1,250,000, to the Secretary of Agriculture for carry in i? Into effeot the provisions of the no¬ torious Potato Act of 1935. Becau.ie of the wide-spread and vocifprous (>b:leotlons to the attempted curtail¬ ment of poWto production by Federal fi.at, doubt was expre.ssed for a time ot thc advi.sa.billty of attemptln'' an enforcement of the legislation. It was thought that a Policy might be puc- sue.l with this measure .similar to the one t.aken by Pf>stmaster General Farley in nullifying the provisions of the Public I'tillty Ho'dlng Company Aot. For certain obvloifs reas^ons, the i>ostmaster general decided that It w>uld not be expedient to compel a frompli'ince with certain mand.itory provisions of the utility measure and by formal order announcel that he did not intend to comply with the re¬ iiuiroments of the .statute. While the unique and unprecedented nulUfloa- tion of an Act of Con.^rress by a cab¬ inet member, i)i-ol>ably with executive lappnjval, started those who sitlll i cherish the hope that we live un- 1 der a "govornment of laws" and not I a "governmont ot men," neverthelesis. it was urged by some of the New ' Deal strategists to venture a similar j haairdous course on the Potato Act I and  nullify  It.  rather  than  invite  the

"The statute not only avows an aim I fereign to the procurement of revo- i nue tor tho support of government, but by its operation shows the exac- I tion laid upon processors to be the necos.sary means for thc Intended contro'l of agricultural production." A further reading of this convincing opinion brings before us these slgnl- Pcant statements applicable here as in tho case beforo tho court when the opinion was rendered. "The iwwors of taxation and appropriatlim extend only to matters of national, as dis- tlngulshel from K>cal weltare. Tho act inv.ades the reserved rights of tho states!. It is a statutory plan to reg¬ ulate and control agricultural i>ro- duction, a niatter beyond the p<jwers dolegiatod to the federal government. The tax, the appropriation of the funds raised, an;l the direction for their disbursement are but parts of the i)lan. They aro but moans to an unconstitutlional   end."

the lO.'ird Kn',ino;M-s .Vniiofy, Hroiid and C.allowhill streets, Phi'lade'phia. Miss llennins m.a.le the unusu.al lump ot five feet which won the event. Miss Henning's mana.'^er .'Slid that she would have no trobule In going higher, but advised her to stop at five feet as sho had already won the meet. Miss Henning has been prominent in all girls' sp(n-ts at Springfield since she has beon attending that school. She has Ijeen a moniber of the girls' track team, is center on the girls' basketball   team   and   was  forward   on
"Little Theatre"  performances.  It  was   the  hockey  tep.m.
remarkable  for  the speed  and  celeri- ] 	
ty of its tempo, <a feature upon which alone, a successful production may be based, but which is too often neglect¬ ed by amateur groups, especia.ly those  of high  schools.
To ' Miss Helen Bork goes praise, not only tor the excellence of pace which characterized "The Youngest," but also for competent ca.^ting, at¬ tractive groupings and an apparent ease and efficiency of enunciation evince! by the young Thespians.
Nicholas     Barry,    iis   Richard,     the youngest   member    of   a   large  lumily whose scapegoat  he  is,  fully  deserved j the       .applause     and       commendation ] which he received at the end  01. each 1 performance. His ease upon the stag?, his  calculated    naivete  did  much     to | improve  an alrealy excellent  pay.
Perhaps the performance of Gladys Cohen <as the mother, was second on¬ ly to that of Barry. She exnibiteti an a.stute understanding of her role, and gavo it a teeling of sincerity and reality. Walter Roach, as the son-in- 'law,   deserves   mention   for  his   natur-

e.its   ai-i'   tlie   most   cnuiinnly   arfortolj The     virus,   or     infecting     p.iisonous ! substance,   is   contained   in   the   s.allva ; of   the  .affected   anim.a'l.   This   may   be I transmitted  by  the  bite  of  the   rabid animal    or  by   getting    some   of    the saliva   from   the   affected   animal   into a break In the skin  (sores, cuts, etc.)
The poriod of incubation  (time f.-inn i which     the   dog    is   bitten    until    he | shows     symptoms)     is  usua'ly     of     a I variable period, from 10 days to three j months   or   longer.   This   varl.atlon   ofl time  being   lue  to   the   peculiarity   of tho disease which travels by tho ner- veus  system,    and   not  by  the     blood | stream.  This  causes  a  dog  or  person j bitten    around  the    head  or face    to: develop    symptoms     of     the     disease earlier  than  when  bitten  on  the    ex¬ tremities.
The symptoms of i-iibies ag noted in dogis  aro   of   two   fomis:   furious  and dumb.   In   the   former,   tlio   dog   Is   ir¬ ritable, sullen .and at times cttmlxitivo. lilting    seems    to  be    his    objective, | whether it bo \v:ood.  Iron or flesh.  He 1 seems to have no sense of ixaln  when 1 (diewing his  wtiy  through  a  wire  en- i cli:suro.   He  has  an   appetite   for  tor- | eign  substances,  such  as  stones, wood, n.ails,     .and   anything    which   he    can swallow.
Another symptom ot furious rabies is the tendency to wander from hi.^ normal surroundings, and pursue an endless ti-ail, biting everyone and everyt'iing he encounters. As a rule, he does nmt deviate from this frail to do mischief, his chief objections being to obstacles in his way.
Dumb Rabies: In this case tho dog is .apt tl) be somewhat calm .and de¬ velop a partial pai-alysis dropping of the lower jaw. In the early stages of the disease, is usually .accamixiniod

the animal    cannot eat  or drink.    At this  point   rabid  dogs  are  not  afi-aid ot water, as is usually believed. AV'hlle the two forms, furious and dumb, are .iifferent,   it   often     occurs   that   thei'e are  gradations     between   them,       ley ; both usually end In a paralysis.

If a person is bitten by a dog with tho  .above   symptoms,   do  not   destroy the  dog'.
