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 „ - „ i wrath and condemnation of the army CLARENCE EDERER 0 P P 0 S E S I ,^ ^^^^^^^ prote.siants.

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.

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.

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. Dt.tth i generally occuiis about four to six j days froni the time notice Is evident of the strange aotlons of tho dog. If a person is bitten by a dog with tho .above symptoms, do not destroy the dog'. Tie him securely with a chain or place him in a tight pen for ohsorvvation, as early lestruction of this animal retards a I.abonitory diag¬ nosis of the disease. Tho longer this dog lives tho more the disease devel- oi>a in its brain, and the more rapid tho llagnosis by the laboratory.
