There have been a few cases of illness. One of these is a case of ap­ pendicitis, winch' was operated upon,a few13days ago. The patient is geting , along fine!

Dr. Anderson says ; .Virginia went into com­ aelatter pari of 1923 with jijSrienced men on board, tho Atlantie coaBt and Imng ureTut wKui' had been .taught them, at ■training station. The story was told mo by one. of the older men how with the minimum . * crew to man the ship, every one of the older men, went on his honor tc help the recruits make good and make a record for the ship, until a few short months the West Virginia had built up an organiiition with Cap­ tain Senn at the head which Was second to none, and even now the ship has the proud distinction of a big white letter E painted on one of its gurt turrets; denoting superiority in gunnery. The engineering department is now out to win the same distinction in 1engineering end under the direction of it# able officers there is a strong - probability/that they will succeed. In e. that event the letter E in red will be painted on her side. This competition between the men of the several ships for supremacy in the several branches of the service is a valuable factor, It should, not be understood that this competitive spir­ it is confined to the officers, bub it permeates among the , men as well, and it is only a short time before the newest recruit when ho knows his station and his responsibilities, begins to feel a pride in his ship and its achievements. It is the same thing we havo on land. Wo are proud of our home town or the institution in which we are employed, but on a warship this sentiment is more quickly developed and intense as the men from close association and a common interest catch the spirit quicker which makes them better sailors and better men. The laggard has ftp room cn ship­ board, anymore than he has in a fac­ tory, bub it is his own associates who first jolt him out of his misconstrued ideas of shiftlessness. It should also be understood that the morale of the men selected for service in the navy is now far above - whnt is was in years gone past. The navy is no haven for the seam of hu­ manity, but instead it i s > training school for young meit whose past lives are new scrutinized closely before they are accepted in the service. Joe McWilliams, Ddyton, was plac­ ed under arrest Saturday night by Mr-rshal Myers for abusing his wife, Williams and his wife had with them a small son about three or four years old, They had parked their machine On Main street above the bridge and became engaged in a heated argu­ ment. Williams then proceeded to a- buse his wife who called for aid. Be­ fore the officer arrived McWilliams drove away out was overtaken on the Columbus pike west of town. He was returned here and landed in jail until Sunday morning when he was turned Over to the sheriff. The wife and Son were taken back to Dayton by Howard Kennon and Marshal Myers, We un­ derstand. the wife failed to file charges against her husband, whom she hag left, and he was liberated. it takes from one to three weeks to develop rabies so it may be some time yet before the extent of the spread of the disease is knowri, The greatest danger is- with children being exposed to dogs that are not muzzled, A dog can contract rabies and not be bit as he may have gathered the disease from the slobbers of the mad dog. The law is very strict, against dogs being at liberty unless muzzled with rabies about. For this reason it is up to owners to use every precaution to protect the public.
