"It is much better to experiment and
kill several hundred rats or dogs thnn
to let a disease go unconquered," said
Doctor Schwartze.
"If, by killing 200 dogs, scientists
nre able to find cure for the hookworm,
it is far better than to let the hook
worm go unconquered Pcrsonallj, I
would not have a dog in the house
where my children are unless it was

POLITE POLICEMEN

Bluecoats' Unusual Methods
Rouse Woodland Avenue Vet
erinarian to Sense of Danger
ROUGHER ATTEMPTS FAIL
"Your house Is on fire, sir, nnd we
thought perhaps 5011 would like to know
about it."
Two polite patiolinen, ench with cap
in hand, thus informed Dr. 1). 15. Pitz
putrick, n veterinarian, H1M5 Woodlnnd
avenue, this morning of .impending
danger.
Itut before they could give the in
formation it was necessary for the pa
trolmen to, bieak several windows and
force opciu the front door.
Doctor Pitzpatriek wa indignant,
the police say. He looked at the
vvieckage and declared it all unneces
sary He contended there was a lot of
undue excitement, as tho firo was. on
the exterior of tho house,
liefore breaking the door the patrol
men first threw stones at the windows,
shouted and cut all suits of capers to
nvvaken the ph.vsician. Aoooiding to
Patiolman Mulhollnnd, all these antics
were of no avail. There was no sound
within. Nothing could be heard but the
crackling names, which woro eneii
cliug a front window Ineidentallv
passersbj looked on nml gave no end of
suggestions.
Theicfore thinking it would be unwise
to write the doctor a litter nbout the
fue or inform him thiough an ordi
nance of t'it.v Councils, Miilhollaiid and
his partner decided to fence the door
It gave waj utter repeated assaults on
it made by the pitrolmen, both of whom
are of heavy displacement.
The iiin caused a smuli loss. II was
believed to have been (started by a ciga
rette thrown on the window sill bj a
passerby.

policies," Doctor Chambers said in his

ELITE fl ATTACK
HITSBALL PLAN
Doylestown Residents in Quan
dary Whether to Attend Cos
tume Evont Tonight
WATCH SERVICE COMPETES
"To bo or not in be."
That is the question confronting
Dojlcstown residents in regard to the
grand ball scheduled for the nrmory
tonight.
For the socinl upheaval caused by
tho selection ot an upper "forty-five"
of the town's exclusive nocicty has
"gummed" the plans. Some of those
selected feel that they should not asso
cintc with the rest of tho townsfolk!,
while otlicis not selected arc peeved
-.,.1 -1-.. . , . .. ...
uuu nisei arc expcciru 10 iry tnp noscui m.
treatment.
Tito "forty -five" were selected by nn
ntithor for imbllclty purposes. In real
ity there nre forty-seven in the group,
but some one labeled them the "forty
live," possibly because dropping two
made the group more exclusive.
Dojlcstown MorO KcIqslvo
"New York has its 400," one native
said today, "and we bnvo our 'forty
live.' That makes Doylestown society
about nine times more exclusive than
tho big city's."
And on top of all the other criticism
hrupeel upon thn unfortunntcs picked
bv the optimistic author, tho Itcy. O.
W. Haines, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, threatens to preach another
sermon on "Dovlestovvn's Forty-five."
The costume ball aL Ihe nrmory to
night was to lmve created a high-water
mark in social history in the town. But
thnt was before tho common people
knew of the cxistciu-'c of the select few.
that is as a separate division of town
life.
Hodges Backs From Limcllglil
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, tho man who
selected the "forty-five," also wan
prominent in arranging the details of
the ball, but lie has withdrawn from
tins activity.
He said today that he had named the
"fort.v-live" as a favor to a newspaper
man who wanted to chronicle social do
ings in tlie vicinity.
"I hud no idea I was assuming the
rolo of social arbiter, and I had no
thought of the number of names I gave
or of excluding any other persons," he
said.
Mr Unities in li is Sundny sermon
verbally chastised some of the inner
circle for playing golf on Sunday nnd
for playing cauls.
Doctor Prefers Fishing to Golf
"I admit 1 play golf on Sunday,"
Dr. George T. llajmen, one of the se
lect said in leplv, "but I would rather
gun or fish. The law, however, pro
hibits these forms of entertainment, so
I turn to golf."
The watchnight services in Mr.
Hnines's chart h threaten to rival thn
bail as a New Year's Eve attraction.
Many have declnred their intention of
visiting the church in hopes that he
umv "say something."
His thient to launch another attack
in Sundaj'.s scrinan, with verbal upper-1
cuts, jabs aud swings as the weapons
and the "forty-five" playing the part of
tin victim, is sure to bring out another
rccoid attendance,
