...Pittsburgh, Mrs. Celia Freedel's 7-month-old pup bit Mrs. Freedel and her daughter Miss Anna Freedel; also their neighbors, Mrs. Rebecca Labowitz and Mr. Charles Rice. That made Mrs. Freedel think the young dog was sick. So she took it to the Animal Rescue League, whose veterinarians diagnosed the ailment as dumb rabies, the variety in which the sick beast remains quiet and sullen until an overcurious human pokes at it. This dog died; the four rabies victims are receiving Pasteur treatment, and Pittsburgh has a "mad dog" scare...

This was one of the means used to fight the recent rabies situation in Louisville, Ky. (TIME, Dec. 27). But useful as is the serum, the literature has been causing a mild hysteria about "mad dogs" across the country...
...Dog Tray had his day. Not to Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd for his spectacular flight to the North Pole and back last spring at Spitzbergen but to U. S. Mail Pilot Shirley J. Short, for having flown 2,000 hours with valuable cargo in all kinds of weather and with never a serious accident or lapse in schedule, did the International League of Aviators last week award the Harmon Trophy for the best performance in 1926 by a U. S. flyer. To Pilot Georges Pelleder D'Oisy for his long distance flights (France to Africa, Paris to Tokyo) went...
