SEEKING STATE LOANS
i More Than 300 Already Have Made
j Application to State. Commissioner
j Manning States.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
, Raleigh, April B.—There are already
| more than 300 applications for loans
1 from World War veterans in the
j hands of John Hall Manning, com
i missioner of the World War veterans
j loan fund, and now that the Su-
I preme Court has unanimously upheld
j the constitutionality of the net. Mr.
) Manning expects to lose no time in
j investigating the applications ami
granting the loans wherever.-the ap
plication* prove acceptable under the
law.
The minute word yvas received that
the act has been upheld, the printing
of the various application and infor
mation blanks yvas started, and with
in a feyv days these blanks will be
mailed out to all those war veterans
yvho have already requested them. In
the meantime, it is expected that hun
dreds of additional letters of inquiry
will be received from those who have
delayed writing about the act until
the Supreme Court ruled upon it.
Os course, it is hard y reasonable to
snpiMise. according to Mr. Manning,
that by any means all of those who
apply for loans under the act, which
set aside $2,000,000 to be used as a
loan fund, will be able to benefit under
the act and borroyv the maximum of
$3,000. But a goodly per cent of
those yvho have applied yvill be able
to get a loan under tlie act, he thinks.
The two most important questions
raised before tlie Supreme Court were
first, wlietli*!- the Stale of North Car
olina could vote funds to men for
performing a service to the nation at
large, and whether this service in the
war yvas a direct public service to the
State of North Carolina, and second,
whether or not the passage of such
an act was not class legislation.' The
S tip rente Court, however, answered
both of these questions satisfactorily,
and now the act is the law of thj}
, , ,
Jimr hm(- -the- -ahr work* i'lffT 'Mid
whether it yvill prove to be of ns great
benefit ns its framers thought ifyvotild
be three years ago. yvhen it was first
enacted, remains to be seen since there
is still considerable pessimism in some
quarters as to its eventual efficacy.

Electric Wiring Must Be Inspected.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Waiter Hotel
Raleigh, April B.—One of the most
important laws for the protection of
life and property from fire is the law
requiring inspection of electrical wir
ing in all houses built in incorporated
cities and towns. ns yvell as for an nn
nunl inspection of the wiring there
after. according to Colonel James R.
Young, former state insurance com
missioner and a recognized authority
on such matters. Yet there is prob
ably no law that is more frequently
violated, yvith the result that much
loss continues annually from failure
to enforce it, lie says.
“Under our law every incorporated
city or town must have an electrical
as well as n building inspector,” said
Colonel Young, “anil any governing
body of a city or town is indictable
if they do not provide for such in
spectors and for their compensation.
“An annual inspection of every
I building in such cities or toyvns is
required, and a quarterly inspection
of all buildings in the fire district.
A report of these inspections must he
made to the state insurance commis
sioner, and a record of all such in
spections must be kept in a book
maintained for that purpose.
“But in too mnny cases the law is
neglected. Citizens should insist that
the law is complied yvith, and fire
losses reduced."
Matthew Arnold’s yvill, consisting
off 15 words, was the shortest written

Thinks Serum Has Prevented |

By J. C. BASKERVILL.
, Raleigh. April 8.—"1 really have
, done very little research with raibies.
and 1 think all has been said that
. there is to say" said Dr. C. A. Shore,
- just before boarding the train which
. today is taking him to Neyv York, from
, whence he will sail Saturday for Paris,
as one of the American delegates to ,
\ the International Rabies Conference,
called by the health division of the
League of Nations. Dr. Shore is one
of only two Americans, so far as
known, yvho was iiiviticd to attend the
conference anil read a paper before
it on the prevention of rallies, bused
on his many years of work with tlie
- North Carolina State Board of Healtli
: as director of the State I-abortary of
' Hygiene.
I But tlie records iu the Board of
Health, and those in other depart
( meats of the board, slioyv that Dr.
. iihure is far too loodggtt about wfctt
I helms done along nntprabaticnl ItViSu
Here are what the records show :
I There have been hut 31) deaths from
rabies in North Carolina in the last
■ 13 years, according to the statistical
■ reports of the Bureau of the Census. :
and the North Carolina Bureau of
Vital Statistics. Tlie largest number
of deaths in any one year was seven. ;
iu 1!>25. and in liilii and lfil!) there
was but one death from rabies in the j
[ state.
Last year—lo 26 there were but '
I five deaths from rallies in the state.
But there yvere 1,700 people, bitten
. by rabid--mail—dogs, who were in
norulated with tlie rabies serum manu
. faetured by Dr. Shore at the State
. Laboratory of Hygiene here, who were
! given the Pasteur treatment, and who
, did not die from rabies, as they very
i probably would have done, tiad they
not taken the treatments.
"It is very likely that tlie majority
. of these 1.700 people bitten by mad
dogs in 1020 would have died of
rabies, had not this serum, made by
Dr. Shore, been administered to them,”
says Dr. F. M. Register, director of
the Bureau of Vital statistics, "for I
have never heard of anyone recovering
from rnbies, unless the Pasteur trent

' Hox-boro the county seat, because the I
parents, instead of having the Pasteur
treatment administered, took the child |
to a “mad stone" some one had in |
I Kojflboro, in the belief that the “mad
stone" would cure the child. Dr. Shore '
s said. j
But just what is this serum, how |
is it prepared, and how much of it
is used in North Carolina in the I
I course of a year. Dr. Shore was asked, j
“The Pasteur anti-ribies serum is 1
prepared from the spina! cord of rah-j
hits that have been innoculated with '
:i fixed virus of rabies." Dr. Shore
explained. “The rabbits are imiocu- I
Mated with the virus about one week
.j before their execution. After the virus
lias thoroughly jienneated their sys
tems, they are chloroformed, the spinal
cords are anteseptically dissected out,
and an emulsion perpared. according
to the Pasteur process.
“This emulsion, or serum, is then
made up in doses of two-nnd-a-half
l&irbia centi mete.its p, the do**. lB r>pr
quires 121 of these doses, each given
hypodermically to comprise one anti
rabic treatment, or 52.5 cubic centi
j meters to the treatment in order to
secure immunization from rabies. The
j spinal cord from one rabbit will sup
ply enough serum for about two treat
ments. or about 42 doses.” *
|. Thus in order to make enough serum
i for 1.700 treatments, the amount made
| last year, approximately 000 rabbits
‘ were required. The State Laboratory
I does not undertake to raise its own
rabbits, but buys them commercially
ns needed.
Hut this is not all that Dr. Shore
and his laboratory assistants do. Iu I
order to determine who have and who j
have not been bitten by rabid dogs, [
it is necessary to examine from 1,800,
to 2,000 heads of dead dogs. Thus, j
if a person is bitten by a dog, in order :
to determine if the dog is rabid, it I
must b|* killed, its head sent to the
laboratory, where a cross section of
the brain is examined under a micro- j
scope. If the dog is found to have I
been rabid, then the Pasteur treat- |
ment must be given those bitten by J
it, and as quickly as possibly there- i
after.
Dr. Shore expects to remain in '
Paris from April 25 to May 1. when |
the conference closes.

NASH DOES NOT THINK
TEST CASE NECESSARY
Thinks Measures Passed by General
j Assembly Are Constitutional in
I Present Form.
Tribune Bureau
j Sir Walter Hotel.
I By J. BASKERVILL.
| Raleigh, April B.—There is a pos
, siibility that no suit to enjoin the
j Secretary of tlie State from ilistrib- i
! ufiiig the printed copies of the Public
; Lawn nf 11)27 will be brought, and
it it is, it will not be for several days,
nr several weeks.
| This was inferred today when
Frank Nash, Assistant Attorney Gen
leral said in answer to a question as I
Mu when the suit would 'be brought : i
| “There may not ibe any suit brought
lat all."
He declared that no action of any !
kind would be taken toward the test- 1
ing of the validity of the county anil j
municipal finance net, and the per- j
manent improvements appropriation J
acts, whose constitutionality has veeu j
questioned by Chester B. Masslich,
New York bond attorney. Masslich
tielives that the constitutionality of j
these acts has been greatly endangered i
by the aiftptlnn it t amehilmeuts which [
at tlie time thought immaterial, but j
which now are considered to be mat
erial. And he has recoin mended that j
a test case, in the form of an injunc- \
tion against the Secretary of State, !
be started at once iu order that the j
Supreme Court may rule as to the |
validity of these acts:
However, Attorney General Nash
does not agree with Mr. Masslich, hold- i
ing that all the amendments adopted
were adopted regularly, that they are i
not material amendments, and that !
the validity of the laws is not in |
danger. He does not see the necessity j
of a test case, 'but if one is brought j
[he is confident that the laws will be
| upheld as they now stand. Bringing
jof a test suit, of course, would cause
j considerable delay anil might seriously
| hamper the building programs of the
j various state institutions.
I No action whatever will be taken
i until the return of Governor McLean
j from New York, and until the situa
j tion has gone over thoroughly with !
him. Mr. Nash stated.
I In the mean time, IV. N. Everett, i
' Secretary of State, is doing everything
! possible to rush the completion of the
binding of the Public Laws, which
' have already been printed. Max
i Abernethy. assistant to the Secretary
!of State, is now in Charlotte, where |
