fire ESCAPES
AT AUDITORIUM

In accordance with the requirements
of city ordinances concerning public
buildings, fire escapes are being put
in at the Auditorium before the be-
ginning of the theatrical season.
While these escapes are of wood and
do not add much to the beauty OF
the building, still in a pinch they
would come in mighty handy to a per
son caught in the gallery during fire
and besides. ons, feels safer to know
that there are ire escapes even il
they are never used.

nrega.ls to the ungraceful, not to
say immodest, habit Of crossing the
legs as they sit in public places "a
habit most women have grown accus-
toned to although taught that it was
ugly" in their childhood, DR.. Joseph
Garzouska, Of Buda Pest. now in this
lcountry, has this to say:
| IN no country Of the continent can
women be seen sitting In public with
their legs crossed. have observed it
lin New York, and here In Philadel-
phia it is also the custom. No wonder
your women are nervous. Such posi-
lions as they assume while sitting is
to my mind sufficient cause to under
mine their nerves and health. In
Hungary the women sit up straight
and erect. They do not lean against
things. They do not like rocking
chairs. The American women seem
to like nothing but easy lounging
chairs
Dr. Alice Seabrook OF the Woman's
Hospital, Philadelphia, says;
\ depiore the TACT that foreigner
can come over here and make such
violent criticism OF us which is true.
We all cross our legs. It is comfort
able and we don't stop to consider the
injury that 1t works nor the appear
ance we make In past generations
in this country the women sat as
straight on their chairs as the doctor
says the women Of Austria do now,
personally remember the time when
! was not allowed to sit in rock
ing cnair. observe the elderly women
that one sees right here in Philadel-
phla. the great majority OF them sit
straight, not even resting against the
back OF straight-back chair. And that
is the correct way to sit. It indicates
poise, mental poise.

Hog cholera has long been a cause of
heavy loss to the farmers. and for years
scientists in the Department of Agricul-
ture have been working on the prob
lem of the cause and prevention Of this
disease. Recent work of the bureau of
animal industry has demonstrated that
the contagion consists of a virus which
exists in the blood and other fluids of
diseased animals. but which can pass
through the finest filter; is invisible
under the microscope. and therefore
cannot be isolated or disrerned by any
of the usual methods
This important discovery. which has
since been confirmed by eminent scien-
tiffc authorities in England and on the
continent of Europe, affords an eXpla-
nation Of the failure of past efforts to
produce Il satisfactory vaccine.
The bureau has conducted expert
ments with view to producing a vac
cine of serum which will prevent or
cure the disease. Successful results
have been obtained i'll an experimental
way. and efforts are now being made
to adapt the method to practical and
general use.
The method has been patented by
the department in the name Of the sci
enlist who evolved it, Dr. Marion Dor
set, the patent having been taken out
in such a manner as to insure to all
tho DnOD1n in the T-nita1 St3tpS the
right to its use free of royalty.
