Provisions of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation plan were explained in detail yesterday in a school conducted bv E. Kirk McKinney. state manager, for district employes.

Advice on the reconditioning of any home will be provided free by experienced realtors, builders and architects employed by the corporation. Mr. McKinney stated.

RABIES? ONE IN 20,000 CASES, SAYS DR. CONGER

Precautions Are Ridiculous, Is View of Dog Pound Executive. BY GRENVILLE MOTT Time, Staff Writer Not more than one dog in 20.000 has rabies. This comforting statement came today from Dr. Elizabeth Conger, city dog pound superintendent, while discussing what she referred to as the “current canine panic.” “These things happen every now and then,” she explained. -The dogs get excited, and the people get excited, and hundreds of dogs get sent out here for rabies examinations—nice dogs, dogs that wouldn't hurt a flea. “Maybe,” she added thoughtfully,” I shouldn’t say a flea. Some awfully gentle dogs become very annoyed at fleas.” “But. seriously," she continued, “the people of Indianapolis have been co-operating with us in splendid fashion during this panic. In the sixteen years I have been out here I never have known them j to take better care of their dogs. “Ot rour.se, we have to destroy lots of dogs—more than I care to think of. And it is at its worst now. One day, probably the worst I have ever spent, we chloroformed 300. It was awful! “But,” she added, more cheerfully, “all the best of our dogs get homes. If they are attractive looking

and their owners fail to claim them, someone always is glad to pay the S2 impounding fee and take them home as pets of their own.” ‘‘When I came to work out here sixteen years ago.’’ said Dr. Conger, “conditions were beyond belief. They had men around who beat the dogs with clubs, and the dogs were killed by the mast cruel methods imaginable. “Os course, I was only r. female helper and the men did their best to make it unbearable for me. One day I lost my temper and knocked one of those men down. I got him by the neck.” The doctor still is a very healthy looking lady. “Conditions,” she continued, “are far from perfect, even now\ We need far more money and equipment.” “Now, that one there will get a

Dr. Elizabeth Conger (upper), city dog pound superintendent, is not satisfied with a large portion of the city’s strays for company so she keeps a dozen or so of her own dogs at the pound. Wellington-Wellington (lower), a handsome English bulldog, a few days ago was just another anonymous and unclaimed stray in the city pound. Soon after this picture was taken, he was purchased for the impounding fee of $2 and now lives in a ranine lap of luxury.

home right away,” she said, changing the subject and pointing to a very handsome German police dog, “So will that cute bulldog there, and. of course, any number of people will want that handsome English bull if the owner doesn't claim him. “He is worth a lot of money.” Dr. Conger is not a veterinarian, She is a member in full standing of the medical profession. She never has been inoculated for rabies, and regards such precautions as “ridiculous.” New Tostal Fee Announced An additional fee of 10 cents on registered mail where personal delivery and receipt is required will be charged by the postal department beginning Monday, it was announced today.

Land-Office Business John Dillinger’s Escape at Little Bohemia “Miraculous,” Says City Man.

BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Staff Writer THE enigma of John Dillinger’s escape from Little Bohemia lodge in the Lac du Flambeau district was pondered today by an Indianapolis business man who just has returned from the scene.

"I am ashamed to admit that I have joined the ranks of the morbidly curious who visit the scenes of sensational crimes,” said the business man, who asked that his name be withheld, “but when I found myself in Wisconsin on a fishing trip I couldn’t resist the urge. “I drove 200 miles out of my way to go to Little Bohemia, and after a thorough inspection of the place it is inconceivable to me that Dillinger ever could have broken through the ranks of the federal men in the raiding party. “In the first place, the lodge is entirely surrounded by a thick woods. Only one narrow road leads from the building where Dillinger fought it out with the justice agents to the main highway. a tt tt THAT road,” he continued, “is the only exit from the lodge. There just isn’t any other way to effect an escape. I learned that the federal agents, instead of calling upon local authorities and the backwoodsmen of the neighborhood for help, stood off at a considerable distance and fought it out with the outlaws. “It seems to me that this was bad strategy, which resulted in nothing more than the death of a CCC worker who was an innocent spectator.” The Indianapolis man revealed that Emil Wanetka, proprietor of the lodge in which Dillinger, "Baby Face” Nelson and other notorious desperadoes spent several days before the fatal raid, has done a rushing business in transient trade. “But many women refuse to spend the night at the lodge, fearing a return of the gangster,” said the local fisherman. a tt tt WANETKA, he revealed, has posted a list of questions

Among the questions on the wall of the bar are: “Is Dillinger good-looking?” “What did they like best to eat?” “Were the women good?” “What kind of a poker game does Dillinger play?” The proprietor of the place was quoted as saying that Dillinger was welcome back to his lodge any time.

•WHAT'S IT TO YOU?’ ADDED BY ICKES TO FAMOUS LAST LINES

ADEQUATE ROAD PATROL URGED BY MOTOR CLUB Increase in State Police Personnel to Be Asked of Legislature. Increase in the personnel of ths state police department in order that an adequate road patrol may be established may be asked at the next session of the general assembly, according to Todd Stoops, secretary of the Hoosier Motor Club. Pointing out that the state police department has only a superintendent, a captain, three lieutenants, six sergeants and fifty-eight patrolmen, Mr. Stoops said the apportionment to each man is about 1,000 miles of road. “The state police department is operated on funds from the sale of certificates of title,” Mr. Stoops said. “The department should be operated on money from the state general fund and the money taken from the driving public used for a road patrol. "Other states provide one patrolman for every 100 miles. If Indiana would do that, it would have about 100 patrolmen on patrol duty, leaving the department as it now is organized to deal with regular police work.” BORAH SPEECH TARGET OF RICHBERG ATTACK NRA Counsel Flays Senator, Praises Recovery Program.
