COSTS OF WAR BILLION YEARLY; Experts Of Treasury Place Total Cost Of Conflict At 33 Billion Dollars. Washington.—On the twelfth an niversary today of the United Stat es' entry into the world war, treas ury experts estimated the money cost of the conflict to this nation at $37,000,000,000. It is still costing $1, 200.000,000 a year. This total cost, more than twice the total notional debt of the Unit ed States, includes not only the net cost for the war period but the con tinuing costs of the war to the present date. From the declaration of war, April 6, 1917. until the official end of the state of war between this country and Germany July 2. 1921, the esti mated net cost to the United States is placed at $27,183,989,752.96. But the costs did not cease with the declaration of peace and in the 10 years since the guns were stilled the continuing costs of the wTar to the United States have been about $1,200,000,000 annually. Interest on the public debt, care of the veterans and settlement of war claims are the principal con tinuing costs of the war. These costs are slowly decreasing, but it may be years before the war lias been com pletely paid for. War costs cannot be ascertained exactly as it is necessary, treasury officials explained, to deduct from total expenditures the estimated normaal expenditures of fthe gov ernment for the war period. The net cost is arrived at by mak ing allowance for the amounts owed this country by foreign nations as a result of war-time loans. The gov ernment is still paying pensions growing out of the Mexican War of 1848 and subsequent conflicts.

Clevenburg. j Feline May Have Rabies Without Being Near Dog County Attorney IXvburn Finds That liven Hals Contract Hy drophobia. Punlr Yet. ___ The question ns to whether a cat jmfrdted w it tv hydrophobia can be | termed by law as a mad dot? Is still j somewhat of a knotty legal problem , | about Shelby. I Home time back ns has been re lated in The Star heretofore, a mad s cat bit several children In the Zion section. The North Carolina law I '•say* that a county must pay for damages oi rabies treatment result- ! | wig from a mad dog. and at a re cent meeting of the county com missioners a bill for treatment given j the children infected by the cat was presented. The commissioners turned to the law book The law says that damages resulting from a "rabid dog." mentioning no other I animals. Then the question was' turned over to County Attorney IX > L. IXyburn Till* week Mr. Rymini informed A. K Cline. commission chairman, thnt in delving: Into the matter hr had learned that cats and rats might become infected with hy- j drophobia Without ever getting near | a dog. So, It seems ns If the law- j maker who created the state law intended for the law to cover nil damage by rabid .animals, but thr law didn't say so and It didn't in clude mad rats and mad cats. Of course if the eat which bit the children had been infected by a dog, which could have been the case, the county, by law. would be liable for damages resulting, but since it has been learned that a cat may "go mad" wltnout being | infected by a dog the problem Is a ! tougher one to crack than ever, j The law confines Itself to mad j dogs—and the law doesn't often! stand for an Interpretation of what It Intended to mean instead of what it reads, and If the particular law is followed to the letter there may be no damages paid out for the rampage of the mad cat about Zion. Such being the case some lawmaker at the next legislature may be urged by the folks back home to insert cats and rots In with the dogs In the mad dog reparations law. Toddy Joe McGuginn. two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar j McGutnn, of Columbus, was fatally burned last week when she fell Into: a tub of scaldtng hot w ater. And i older child of the family was simi larly burned a few years ago but | the injuries did not prove fatal.
