to Italy, arrived today on the

Child. Mr. Child, commenting on the
report that he had offered his resignation

named, said: "I^told Pre-ident Harding
that I would like to retire for
ncrsonal reasons when the time was
opportune, and I have had correspondence
w?th President Collidge since he
came in to office. But when I left
Italy on this trip. I had no intention
j of not returning and as far as I know
that is the complete status."
He said he was merely on leave
at this time and expected to stay in
, this country about two month*. Whe *.
asked if the expense attached of
' maintaining the embassy brought
forth his resignation, he said, "every
ambe?sador knows vrnat the expense

Magnut John.-on came in like a

Declaring that President Coolidge uot

that he was "a very nice man." I
Visiting royalty could not have attrac-l

for scores of newspapers correspondents
trailed him all over town. He
seemed to enjoy it, too, but surprised
everyone by failing to cut loos with
his famoas and much-advertised louuspcaking
voice. The Washington
Post explained Johnson's unexpected j
guiltness and equoninity by the eu- j
itorial statement that "there is some- j
thing in the very atmosphere of'
Washington which is as destructive 1

HHarvey has had a hectice two-year

his time between his personal affairs
and national politics. Ssmc
Republican leaders want him to serve

job for which he is fitted.

Labor, is about the business man

Recent Reports might indicate that
Henry Ford's plan to operate Muscle
j Shoals in the interest of the farmer
had gone glimmering. When Secletary
Weeks'sold the Gorgas stem

pany, it look* as though the latter'
had won out in its^long fight to,
keep Ford out of waterpower dt- j
veloperaent and out of Alabama if;
possible.
"When the fact becomes known j
back home that Muscle Shoals is being
sold piece-meal to* private interests
to defeat Mr. Ford, there
will betrouble in short" says a
prominent official of the American
Farm Bureau federation. It
i? known that Mr Ford has thought
of Carrying his case direct to the

Ambassador Childs, to Italy, have

The first course of the Pasteur

ay to five chitdrea who were bitten
as. week by a dog. which upon
ivestisration, proved to be suffering

Ir.-. A. L. Martin, Granville Ratcliffe,
n adopted son of Mr. and Mrs.
Iartin's, and J. H. Brendle, Jr. son
,f Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Brendle.
Four of these children were bitten
ast Saturday by the little dog of
5rown Stevens, but as the boys had
een accustomed to playing with the
log and having it bite at them, they
lid not think anything about it.
ioweverf Friday and Saturdy mornng
it was noticed be in an especially
tugnacious mood toward all things
ind when it attempted to bite Mr.
yasser 0n two occasions Saturday
norr.ing it ws suspected that that
here was something wrong with it
The vicious attitude of the bog led
VIrs. Sasser to recall several weeks
igo a strung'* dog had attacked this
log *i_d thi: gave groind to the
tuspicion that th*. animal was sufferng
with hydrophobia. It was accordingly
killed and its head sent
cothe State Chemist at Raleigh for
*xamination nd the test showed traces
>f the Rabies. As soon as this was
earned arrangement began to he
riade t0 have the children take the
Pasteur treatment cither at a hospital
or here. It was finally decited
:o have the Pasteur treatment against
Hydrophobia administered by local
physicians. All five of the children
took the. first innoculation Wednesdaymorning.

before the dog was thought to be
rabid, but it was considered best that
fie should take the treatment also.
A? soon as it was discovered that
the dog das affliced with the Rabies
the Board of Town Commissioners
passed an ordinance declaring it
against the public safety for dogs
:o run at large within the corporate
limits for a period of sixty days.
This became necessary as several
dogs were known to have been bitten
by the Stevens* dog, and a number
of others may have been bitten by
the dog that attacked the dog that
bit the Stevens' dog then, too,
it this season of the year Hydrophobia
is prevalent among the canine tribe
and it was considered safest to have
ali confined.
