All Chicago Dogs, 250,000
Of Them, To Be Given
Vaccination For Rabies
CHICAGO, Iff) — Health and
police department officials map
ped plans today to enforce an
order that all Chicago dogs —
more than 250,000—toe vaccinated
against rabies.
The city’s worst mad dog scare
in nearly 20 years prompted city
health authorities to request the
order from the Illinois Depart
ment of Agriculture to force inoc
ulation of all dogs, rather than
just stray animals.
The number of persons bitten
mounted to more than 60 a day
this month. Health department
officials said this was twice the
number reported in January after
an anti - rabies quarantine was
ordered for the city and part of
Cook County. The order, which
was broadened yesterday to in
clude all of Cook County, re
quires owners of dogs to keep
their animals confined or on
leashes.
GOOD FOUNDATION PAYS
SEALY, Texas, UP)—A workman
digging the foundation holes for
Frank W. Koy’s new garage
punched his post hole digger down
in exactly the right spot.
He broke a half-gallon glass jar
containing $322 in silver and gold
coins dated from 1844 to 1902.
Koy, who bought the place about
three years ago, awarded some of
the money to the lucky digger,
Joe W. Brandt, and other work
men. He said the rest probably
would pay for the new garage.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
The constellation directly east
of the “Square of Pegasus” is
Andromeda. In this constellation
is the Andromeda Nebula—the
brightest of the spiral nebulae.
If conditions are good, the nebula
may be seen with the naked eye
and has the appearance of a
cloudy area.
The distance of the Andomeda
Nebula from us has been deter
mined, by Dr. E. P. Hubble of the
Mt. Wilson Observatory, to be
702,000 light years. A photograph
ic plate used with a powerful tele
scope and with long exposure
shows that it consists of a central
mass with branches of spiral shape
extending away from it.
The polar caps of Mars were
discovered by Cassini in 1666.
More than a century later, Sir
William Herschel first made out
their variation in size, showing
the progress of the seasons on
Mars. These seasons are similar
to ours but longer because Mar’s
year is longer.
Senate Interior Committee
Votes 14-1 To Approve
Alaska Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, UR—The Senate
Interior Committee voted 14-1
Thursday to approve a bill to ad
mit Alaska to statehood.
Chairman Butler told reporters
the official report will be delayed
for a few days to incorporate
amendments to the bill deter
mined upon by the full committee
Thursday.
As soon as those amendments
can be fitted into the legislation,
he said, the Alaska bill will go on
the Senate calendar along with
the Hawaii statehood bill which
was approved by the committee
last week.
Committee members said the
' only vote against the bill was that
of Sen. Long (D-La).
However, several committee
members, including Chairman
Butler, reserved the right to op
pose the bill when it reaches the
Senate floor.
