Sirs: Reading your inimitable TIME of Nov. 28 avidly I ran across the interesting and touching "Don't you bite, Bing" on p. 22 stating the shepherd dog was found rabid, foaming at the mouth and putting the boy owners in grave personal danger. I just finished Albert Payson Terhune's article "Queer Things About Your Dog," which states, on his long experience as a breeder of prize collies, that a dog foaming at the mouth is not rabid-that a dog foams at the mouth from a number of causes, and that a rabid...
Foaming at the mouth in dogs is not an invariable or even frequent symptom of rabies. It may be caused by a nervous disturbance, local inflammation, convulsions or running fits. But the rabies virus is transmitted by saliva and abundant salivation accompanies rabies, especially in the "dumb" phase when the lower jaw becomes paralyzed. Rabies is a much rarer disease than commonly supposed. Immunity to it is high in dogs and humans. The Pasteur treatment within five days of being bitten is highly effective protection. Detection of rabies in its early stages is difficult. The rabid dog is infectious...

...open and passed through the wall to let the tub water run out onto the open ground. Sir Richard put his lips to the pipe's open end, blew. A low, sepulchral reverberation grumbled up the pipe. "The natural frequency of the pipe when blown into by mouth was about 161-that is, three octaves below the keynote of the scale previously indicated," observed Sir Richard. Evidently, "the wind was playing on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th overtones of the pipe, and the melody was being produced by the rapid fluctuations of wind-pressure." The mystery...
Whether the producers found in the big frame and wide mouth of Joan Crawford a ready-made Sadie Thompson, or whether they softened to respect an author who bids fair to fill Hollywood unconsciously with excellent South Sea scenarios is hard to say. Whatever has been spoiled in this production is that which has been added to the stage show, not taken away. The result is a sincere impressive play, full, but not blown up with sentiment and passion, and interrupted constantly by manifestations of the mechanical ingenuity of the producers. These Hollywood moguls obviously feel that it would reflect...
