The diigjicwtic laboratory of the department of " public health exathined more than forty-eight dog heads in July for rabies, thirteen proving positive for the disease- In July of last year twenty-nine heads wefe examined with four positive. To date the department has provided Pasteur treatments ^for 392 different individuals. The experiment of the state at the \Bew state reformatory for women at l>wight, designed tb refit women criminals for return to society without the anti-social attitude of more Convicts, is drawing attention of aoeial workfs and public welfare authorities of the entire country.

As staffer cent of &e travel in this country is for recreation, the General Federation of Women's clubs believe^ it essential that our highways should be :.recre&tional parkways if they are to yield full returns for the large highway investment. Mrs. W. L. Lawto'n, chairman of the National. Council for Advisory Chairman of the Federation, is in Illinois trying to help solve the problem of roadside beautification and control. Roadside surveys to this end have been made in a number of state and Illinois is receiving attention/ along this line, with a view tb answering sutjli questions as, "What roadside'- planting is being done? What stjrt of hot dog stands and country filling stations line the roads ? How many bill boards are there and ar€ they properly located? Are the trees protected and dbtes Illinois favor auto dumps at town entrances?" Mrs. Lawton is accompanied by her husband and is Speaking before state normal schools to enlist the support of; teaclicrs to the movement. , '* - • s • At beautiful Starved Rock .state park on the Illinois river midway between LaSalle and Ottawa are a dozen or more bubbling drinking fountains waiting for an opportunity to qu(ench the thirst of visitors, and yet so much more popular is Wishing Spring that from one hundred to one hundred and fifty people often stand in line at one time for a turn to drink and make a wish with hope that it will come true. X,. M. ^Davis, editor of the Ottawa Rppublicart-Times, has been one of the most enthusiastic boosters for Starved Rock park and his irfHuence has done much to make it a popular stopping place for tourists.

Eye« examined and glasses made to order only . .;.-T • ; . v' Also all repairs r August 14, this year, marics the ,.time with an important victory. 176th anniversary of the day in 1775 when George Washington was commissioned a Colonel ^t the age ojf 23, and- placed in supreme command of the.ifeilitary forces of his native state of Virginia. It was not the first jnilitary rank he®1had received. The pointment as Colonel had already been amply earned, But ifr may be taken as the true., beginning of his military career.'. j When hardly more than 20 year^ old, Washington had been made a Major and Adjutant General of Virginia Militia, a post occupied, before. him by his half-brother . Lawrence Washington, remarks the United States George Washington Bicenten-* nial Commission. For a time the office gave him little more duty than to oversee recruiting, in something like eleven Virginia counties. - But during this time the (.French King Sought to hem in the thirteen Colonies along the Atlantic seaboard and seize the remainder of the continent as a permanent ^French possession.^ To this end they systematically built'a Hnfe of forts from Canada arid the Great I*akes to the Gulf of Mexico. The English government was not at first alive to the danger in this. At England's distance the value of the West was not understood. But the Colonies saw what was happening, and Virginia especially,'with large^interests in the Ohio country, was alarmed and angry. Consequently young Wtajor -Washington was sent by Governor Dindwiddie- to visit the French Jort on the Ohio, near what is now Erie and demand ttiat the French garrison withdraw. ^ Those who like to see how a great man's career is piecednUgether w6y events will note at olwfc how Washington's previous exjfcfrience a<s a surveyor to Lord Fairfax had given him intimate knowledge of the western wilderness, at^g$o led to this important mission. But the boyish Major Washington, was obliged to come home and reported rebuff from the French commander. The young Major nevertheless became ah author, much to his surprise, when Gov. Dinwiddie published his Journal describing this mission. Circulated in England, and in American this Journal did muen to quicken .public interest regarding the value of the American West, the Gov. Dinwiddie was authorized by his king to employ force to drive- out the French. He promptly decided to use it. An expedition of more than 300 meti was got together, and again Major Washifigton was put in command. Again the young commander fell short th success. Without waiting to receive him at Fort Duquesne, the French com,mander sent out a forc^ of his Own which Washington faced. at his hastily constructed Fort Necessity. Here he was deprived of needed military strength by failure of promised troops from other Southern Colonies, and was obliged to capitulate, but not until he had started & great, almost world-wide conflict. In the former expedition, Washington's errand was one of 4 warning. This time he meant to shoot, and did. In a skirmish preliminary to the ,ac^ tion at Fort Necessity the French officer Jumonville was killed, an incident which set France and England themselves at war. Both nations sent1 fleets and troops to America to fight it out on American soil for possession of the American West. The colonies themselves were to raise levies to join the English, and again Washington might have had a new military berth. • Instead he declined, regarding the in&gnficant rank and pay offered him as sft indignity not only to himself but ftkall Americans. The historic Braddock expedition was planned as the central move in this British campaign against the FlWiril An Ameriron soil, and BrsddoCk invited Washington to join it. The outcome of that camjiign is familiar to all. To the British 11 was a disastrous defeat, but it was the making of George Washington. His bravery under fire, his salvation of Braddock'8 forces from still worse defeat, gave him a name throughout the colonies, and led to the next successive steps in-his career. With the defeat of Braddock, ^h Virginia Assembly grew really alarmed, *nd at last was willing to vote any sum required for defense against the French. Washington liimself w;as voted three hundred pounds as a reward for his services with Braddock The Virginia Regiment was increased to 16 companies. And Ipn August 14, 1755, Major Washington -was commissioned by Gov. Dinwiddie, Colonel of the Virginia Regiment and Commander-in-Chief "of all the forces now raised or to be raised for the defense of 'His Majesty's Colony'-- and you are hereby charged with full power and authority to act defensively Or offensiyely, as you shall think for the good and welfare pf the service." Rather a large order for a young fellow of 23, but still^Washington was not satisfied. Gov. Dinwiddle's commission was after all only a colonial appointment, and already Major Washington had had bitter and humiliating experience as a Colonial officer at the hands of those who held military rank by' royal decree- Officers of Carolina troops, for example, who held commissions by royal authority, had- high-hatted him and hampered him; and he was through with these indignities. As Gov. Dinwiddie could do nothing tor settle this annoying question as to who was who in military rank, Colonel Washington made his famousjftrip to Boston, to lay the matter before Govs Shirley of Massachusetts, the only English government officer in the colonies with power to grant royal commissions. Needless to say the Governor of Massachusetts Was won over by the young Virginian, and Colonel Washington returned, this I NEWS OF THE MOTOR"- WORLD 1 Livestock shipped by rail to the ' principal markets in the United I States during 1930 decreased nearly 8 per cent,; while stock shipped by ! truck increased more than 7 per cent, according to the Chicago Motor^ Club. For every mile of highway in the United States there are registered 8.8 motor vehicles, according to the Chicago Motor Club. , , Gibralter, with forty motor vehicles per mile of highway, has the most, while Japan, Rus-* eia j&nd several other nations passess only .1 of a motor vehicle per mile. A world survey reveals that ^gasoline is cheapest in the United States, and most expensive in LaPaz, Bolivia, where the price per gallon is approximately fifty-seven cents, according to the Chicago Motor Club. The aniount of capital invested in motor vehicle manufacturing plants in the United States in 1930 was $1,880,808,233, according to the .Chicago Motor Club. ' Detours, generally well marked but of varying lengths and road surfaces, will be encountered this week-end on many of the main state and county routes in the Chicago area, according to the Chicago Motor Club. > ' State routes op which detours exist ;are 4 (Joliet road), 5 (Lake street), 6 (Roosevelt road), 18 (Ogden ave- Pue), 19 (Northwest highway), 20 (Belvidere road), 21 (Milwaukee avenue), 22 (Lincoln highway), 46 (Mannheiip road), 58, (Elgin-Evans- ; ton road), and 64jfSt: Charles r0»d).
