Origin of "Hamfatter,"

correspondent of the New York
sun gives the following account of the
origin of the word "hamfatter'-a
term of derision applied to actors:
Years ago, before cold cream became
a feature OF the makeup box, actors
used prepare ton OF ham fat for re-
moving the crude grease paint of their
times. The less prosperous ones, for
the sake OF economy. contented them
selves with the fat side Of ham skin,
which they carried about and used
just as a wood cutter does in greasing
his saw. This practice had disas-
trous effect on the complexion, and
caused Thespians to be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored au.
pearance Of their faces. Hence the
term 'hamfatter.'

tale to date 1929; deaths, 8; total to
dote, 434; new foci, 4; cases under

Believing that yellow fever in New
Orleans is now absolutely under con-
troll, DR.. White, representing the mar
Inc hospital service considers that
hereafter the inclusion of cases other
than yellow fever in the official re-
cord ought to be avoided. At the same
time, he believes that not a single ac-
tual case of the disease should be sup
pressed. The record of cases today
was again a low one and that of the
deaths gave general satisfaction to the
authorities.
1t is announced that the marine hos
pltal service will not take charge of
the situation at Patterson. Dr. Cor
pus' report has satisfied DR.. White that
1t is impossible to expect the necessary
cooperation of citizens and officials.
