IMMUNITY FROM SMALLPOX
Army Medical Officer Reports on His
 Study of Vaccination

From the Washington Star.
 Lieut. Col. Chales E. Woodruff of the medical. corps. of the army. has made a report to the surgeon general of the army on smallpox and vaccination. He says that the large number of vaccinations in the army. even when the lymph is per fectly fresh and potent shows the ex- treme difficulty of contracting vaccinia more than twice in lifetime, and that exceedingly few can have three perfec' successes. It appears that in other coun- tries where the disease has been driven out bv the vaccination of infants, there is far less vaccination than with us.
 After long study of smallpox and after obtaining data from Europe, as we'll as from health officers in all parts or the
 United States, Colonel Woodru6 forms a number of conclusions as to the length of immunity conferred by vaccination
 He says that one good. vaccination in in- fancy in three places on each arm. as done in Europe generally, gives 1Ieiohs immunity from vaccinia and smHiipok' There are no smallpox cases on recoro' he says. after two undoubted Vacciha- ton successes one in infancy ana one III III adult life, or even two in ad'lit iie a' long intervals. He declares that two sue oasses nrotect for life, according to his military observations for 20 years but successes must be established absoiute- llv. Often cases are called successfui which are not so by any means m munity depends largely upon the numoer of insertions whether given at one tim | in infancy, or distributed thronsn ire The American method of but one inser- ltion at a time is declared unscientific,
 and explains the larger number in whom
 second trial is successful. Colonel Wood l ruff recommends number of changes in the rresent sys.sm of vaccination

 the great and agreeable surprise con
 sidered the third catcher when the sea
 son started, he is now rated as the
 eIub's premier backstop There Is no denying the fact, however that Gus IS catching a far better game than he did a year ago at Portland. Then he was set down as being only fair catcher but A star hitter. He has continued to hold his own with the stick while also showing class In his work behind the bat That his catching has been all that could be desired Is shown by sthe fact that Cleveland has won IS and lost seven games with him at the re- end of the battery.
 Ivan Olson, the fourth of the live wire quartet from the Oregon team, Is the livest wire sof the four in one way as he is chock full of ginger and Is play ing with his head Up every minute.

HUMAN HANDS AND
 THE PRINTING PRESS

The August American Magazine con- tains an interesting editorial talk in
 The Interpreters House" on the news paper. In closing the talk the editor says:
 Il ask the reader to see in his imag- ination what a multitude of human be- iags are busy with the printing press. There are in the United States 25OOO or 5000 regularly issued publications, in which tens and tens of thousands of peo- pie write, from time to time, little or much One of our great metropolitan dailies recently boasted that 1500 people were more or less regular contributors 10 it's columns counting it's great staff and it's correspondents scattered all over the world. AS many people write for that newspaper. therefore, as read some of our small country weeklies. In other words, the printing press is the least nionopolized of any invention. It is com pletely in the hands of the people. It is one of the most imposing democratic in- s,itutions in the whole world-one of the most completely democratic. That is it's great strength.
 Now, what Is the meaning of all this? It simply means that through the print ing press you transfer to paper an as- tonishing picture of all the varied emo- tons and characteristics of all human
 
 to the 15OO people who write for that great daily referred to above. Imagine them segregated into a community What an assortment! In their midst would be love, hate, loyalty, jealousy. spite, cruel- ty, gentleness, courage, generosity-and all the other attractive and unattractive qualities found among human beings.
 Take, the one point of differences of taste and refinement to be found among them. Some of them would shudder at the thought of mentioning in connection with 9 wedding he fact that the brides first husband killed himself three years before. Others of them would not think much about it. Even the bride, remem- ber might not feel as badly as you do about it. It is amazing how differently people look at things. In all candor. ] must say that I have published things which l was afraid would displease. only to discover later that they pleased peo- pie. A short time ago I published tho picture of man with a caption under 1t which held the man sharply to account for certain public acts The only recogni- tion got from the family was a polite note from the mans wife saying that they liked the photograph, and could they set one
 Now, is it discouraging- to take this view? Not in he least. That is my unequivocal answer On the contrary. the prospect seems to me most encourage ing. because the problem of how to pro- duce better press Is clearly defined. We shall have Il better press when we have better men, and God be praised, we already have frequent illustrations of good. courageous press in the numerous cases where decent and sympathetic men are at work in the profession. Human l beings have the power in their own hands | to Letter themselves. and in thousands | and thousands of cases they have the in- 1 clination to exercise that power. and they | are actually exercising it.
