TRACES CONNECTION BETWEEN
MENINGITIS AND INFLUENZA
German Scientists Make Strange
Discovery During an Investiga-
ton of Spotted Fever.

BERLIN. April 2s.-An immediate
connection between influenza and
spotted fever, or cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts, now epidemic in Germany, is sur
missed by some German investigators of
the cause of the disease Scientists
appear not to be fully satisfied that
the bacillus meningococcus is the sole
cause of the disease. since the same
bacillus IS present in pneumonia.
The so-called Pfeiffer bacillus, which
causes influenza. has been discovered
in a number of eases of meningitis.
The epidemic latteriy has assumed a
more serious form in Silesia. In the
Beuthen district out of twenty-eight
cases seventeen deaths We're reported
for the week which ended April 26, and
the Kattowitz district last week
there We're forty-seven new cases and
twenty-seven deaths.
Sporadic cases are now reported
daily from nearly all parts of Ger
many. but the physicians do not fear
general epidemic. In Berlin the popu-
lation is greatly alarmed. Several
deaths from meningitis have occurred
here within week and the sanitary
officials are publishing comparative in
structions for the people. showing what
measures are being taken to prevent
its spread.

REFORM
URGED BY WOMAN.
NEW THEORIES OF SWEDISH AUTHOR
speelal plspateh o nae cslL.

BERLIN, April 29-Ellens Key.
Swedish author, has iust closed re-
markable months campaign in Berlin
and other leading German cities in ad-
vocacy of her ">rcvrer Ethics or mat
rimonial reform. She has been talked
about, written about and gossiped
about more than any other woman in
years. Her photographs have sprung
up magically = the magazines, Illus
trated papers and shop windows. and
postcard likenesses Of her are hawked
about the streets as if she were a royal
Parsonage.
MISS Key is 50 years old Her New
er Ethics" as far as they concern the
married state. are founded upon two
main ideas She advocates first Of all
easier divorce for men and women.
who after vowing to love. cherish and
obey, find that they drew blank in the
matrimonial lottery. She would make
1t not only possible, but absolutely
legal, for married couples to divorce
themselves by mere mutual agreement,
or by desire of either husband or wife.
She considers ii criminal for human
law to compel people to live together
as man and wife who do not in their
hearts cherish the fullest affection and
trust for each other. Facilitate di-
vorce' is her remedy for much of the
worlds marital uphappiness.
1t was the second basic idea Of her
theories that proved a genuine SEN
sation in Berlin and throughout Ger
many. Miss Key says no child should
be called ''illegitimate." She says that
if man and woman care for their
child it is a legitimate child and should
not be compelled to go through life
with stigma. She pleaded eloquently
that in the eyes of God the children
OF love" are not illegitimate and that
the world has no right to call them
such.
Miss Key believes in marriage, but
only when men and women care for
each other so thoroughly and so nat
urally that there can be no question Of
future unhappiness- But she would
not make a lawful marriage an es-
sential condition. If they wish to
marry, well and good, says this Scan
dinavian pioneer. But Of they prefer
not TO enter the matrimonial state
they are not sinful If affection be
there She says that statistics prove
that illegitimate children are the
healthiest Of all offspring, because
usually born of healthy parents and
horn in love-
Miss Kay's theories were promuI-
gated before several largely attended
mass meetings of Berlin working
classes and in some quarters there was
! a movement to suppress her public ad-
dresses as 'Dernieious." But the Ger
man Woman's Club espoused her
cause and she has continued her
campaign of education unmolested.
Miss Kay lives with her brother in
Stockholm and makes her living by
writing. Her NEST famous work. THE
Century of the Child" has been trans
/ lated into almost every European
tongue. One of her theories about child
rem is to the effect that the school of
| the future is to have the primary
school and kindergarten replaced by
home instruction,

and ]. w. Shelton & Co. are named
as defendants in a suit for S25O.O0O
damages started in the Federal Court

port of the meeting In their paper. the

ed report in his paper, the Goldfield
Daily Sun.
These reports accused the Denver
company of not owning properties it
was selling; of not being financially in
terested in the properties. and that IL
was a wild cat" proposition through
out.
The defendants are brokers and
newspaper men doing business in Gold
field and Tonopah. The men compris-
ing the plaintiff company are promin-
ent here. They allege heavy losses as
result of alleged malicious attacks in
the papers mentioned and the weekly
market letters of the MimsSutro Com

Laughter and Those Who Make Ia
Laugh
THE man who does not laugh Is de-
spicabIe." said DR.. Hirsch. and It is
the jealous. envious. deceitful hypo-
erite that does not laugh. Those that
make US laugh fully serve their pur-
pose in life. and the world Is better by
far by their being. The stage Is ele-
waiting For two generations a great
Rip Van Wrinkle made Us laugh. He
lifted US from cares and made Us see
things in better light He has passed
away, and his will be the kingdom OF
heaven He was IN truth a consecrated
priest OF the Almighty God; hts stage
was his pulpit. and when he occupied
it the theater was the temple.
THE stage presents to US life from
all its aspects. and, therefore its pic
torial eloQuence opens our eyes 10
deeper realities. The true stage will
never recognize the vile-the pure who
enter the theater shall leave it as pure
as they were when they entered Life
