DR, GODFREY PLEADS WITH
 WOMEN FUR CLEAN HANDS

Dr Godfrey addressed the WOmans club recently delivering carefully prepared paper on hygiene filled with interesting matter to which his audi cnce paid the closest attention.
 Dr Godfrey spoke in part as fol- lows
 In addressing you today, I shall confine myself to d discussion of the infective diseases, they being the ones with whose causes we are most fla miliar and the ones. which are most susceptible Of prevention through per sonal, home and civic hygiene
 Tt will be taken for granted that you believe in the germ theory of disease. that isy that bacteria are the determining causes of these diseases l do not mean sby this that they are the only cause fany more than I would mean that wheat was the only cause of wheat crops if I said that wheat caused wheat to grow. A suitable soil, cJmate and sufficient moisture are equally essentials. think failure to state this qualification is largely responsible for the scepticism of many people though it must be admitted that mere prejudice prevents some from accepting the evidence of their own senses. I once heard a story which Illustrates this attitude very well though perhaps in an az SraVated degree
 A back woodsman from the ozark mountains-a billy as they are called-happened on an infreqnent visit to town to coincide with a circus h f- part though he was convinced they were more than half lies. He couldn't read, had never seen any books or newspapers and the animals portrayed were entirely new to him and he didn't believe they existed. However, his curiosity got the better of him and he went to the circus. Among the first things that greeted his eyes was a giraffe and he stood several mom- ents contemplating him. At the con- clusion he turned and remarked with conviction, They ain't no such thing
 Now that attitude. I'm afraid, is far too common. not only among the traducers of medicine, but among medical men themselves. Montaigues motto to try everything; hold fast what is good is left to care for itself in the prejudices of fossilized thought and selfish interest
 And so it is that out of the asser- tion on the one h3nd that bacteria are the only causes, and the declara- tions on the other tbat they are mere coincidents or resultants of disease, we are at length evolving a logical interpretation of the facts at our command. IL is the present belief of those who have given the most study to the spread of the infecive diseases that the process of infection is for all the world like the process of immigra- ton or the conquest of a country by a foreign people It may be that an

Moons Weather ts Variable.

with the temperature ranging from
the boiling point to frigidity OF 200
degrees below zero the same day, the
climate of the moon is too uncertain
for any human being, no matter how
many changes Of clothing he has"
This was the remark OF Prof. F. r.
Moulton, assistant instructor In as
tronomy at the University OF Chicago,
in an address at the Chicago Hebrew
institute.
Nothing lives on the moon,' he
said. Any animal would be frozen to
death In one hour and scorched to
death in another A day on the moon
is twenty-eight and one-half of our
normal days.
1T is believed by superstitious peo-
pie that the moon has an effect upon
the weather, the seasons and the
crops. The earth is virtually inde-
pendent OF the moon. The satellite
furnishes light at night, but no heat
worth mentioning, and has nothing to
do with storms and changes OF tenn
perature."

New One on Venus.

Mary, an older sister, had spent the
morning shopping in town. Among her
purchases was a square Of dark red
velvet which she intended to use as a
background for beaNiful little statue
Of Venus de Milo, which had recently
been presented TO her. Just as she
h2d temporarily fastened the velvet on
the wall back of the Venus, her small
brother Bobby, aged 5, walked into
her room. We'll, Bobby" said Mary,
how do you like my Venus do Milo?"
Would you leave the velvet there?"
Bobby looked thoughtful for a moment
ar so and then replied. "No, Mary. I
wouldn't. I'd take it down and w'ap
Il awound her!"-Lippincott5s.

Reminder Of Peter the Great.

Here was the place where Peter the
Great made his arsenal, and here are
now located the soldiers barracks and
the parade ground. Not far away, near
sort Of market square, Is the place
where the great car lodged in 1922
before taking quarters In the citadel.
1t is simply vaulted hovel of mud or
cement, entered by small door, and
now surrounded by an open portieo
that has across the front columns con-
nected by green painted railing, and
with two wooden fences In the rear.
A painted sign over the entrance, now
nearly illegible, records the fact that
Peter stayed there, and two antique
cannon, which have long outlived the
time when thehy were Of use, still
guard either side.-From Constantine

At the Grand.

Monday night the Jack Bessey com
pany opened weeks engagement at
the Grand Theatre with Jas. ]. Cor
belts famous play, the flve-act society
comedy drama, "The Burglar and the
Lady" Without exaggeration 1t was
the best performance ever given by
any stock company in Vinita. There
was a very good attendance, although
the threatening weather kept many
away. Mr.. Bessey firmly established
himself by his clever work as Ned
Damers," alias 'Raffles, the Burglar"
Miss nellie Paul, an old favorite here,
was given big reception upon her
entrance in the first act and played
the part of Norma Gray the lady,
in very winsome manner. Her pop-
ularity should materially aid business
during the companys stay in Vinita.

WHALE WAS A FIGHTER
ExAcTED HEAVY PENALTY FOR
DEATH OF HER CALF.
Hunters Paid Dearly for Biunder OF
Man Who Welded Harpoon--
Amazing vIndictIveness Shown
by Ocean Monster.


The gray whale, huge mammal
that inhabits the North Pacific ocean,
and is most often found along the
American coast particularly in the
Gulf of California, makes so vigorous
a fight when attacked and is so terri
bic an adversary that it is known
among sailors as the devil-fsh.
These huge sea mammals are some
times source Of much danger to
peaceful passing boats, having the
same effect as COW on railroad
track A vessel bowling along at full
speed, hitting one of these immense
bodies a broadside blow is visibly dis
turbed, and If the ship is small and
weak there Is often a wreck
1t has always been a standing order
among the whalers that calf should
never be injured when the mother is
near. Neglect Of this order was once
the cause of catastrophe. A fleet
of thirteen American whaleships was
off the coast of Lower California, and
fifty-two boats, four from each ship,
were out. In some way, in striking
a large cow whale, a harpoon trans
fixed her calf, which was at her side,
and killed it instantly.
The mother quickly satisfied her
self that the calf was dead, and then
turned upon her aggressors like a
veritable demon of destruction.
While carefully avoiding the ex-
posure of her body to attack, she
spread devastation among the flotilla
When she arose to the surface it was
but for a second to emit an expira-
ton like the hiss of lifting safety
valve. and at the same instant to
destroy boat or complete the de-
struction of one already hopelessly
damaged. Every blow was dealt with
accuracy and an appearance of pre-
meditation. The speed Of the monster
was so great that she appeared al
most simultaneously at widely separ.
ated points, Not content with deal
ing one tremendous blow at q boat,
and reducing 1t to a bundle OF loose
boards, she attacked the wreckage
again nd again.
Utter decentralization seized even
the veterans. The distance to the
shore was great and the huge whale,
so far from spending her fury, seemed
only to grow more desperately in
earnest as the work of destruction
went on. At last two boats succeeded
in reaching the beach The crews
had hardly leaped overheard to run
their craft up when close behind
them in the shallow water appeared
their relentless enemy. She was just
too late
Out Of the fifty-two boats only two
escaped undamaged More than fifty
men were badly injured, and six, one
of whom was the unfortunate origi.
nator of the mischief, were killed
outright.

Building for Archives.

In other countries, notably Great
Britain and France, the national
archives are most carefully kept. But
we need not go abroad for inspira-
tion as to the proper manner of ham
ding documents. The thousands who
daily frequent the rumerous public
libraries throughout the United States
must realize the Importance OF hav.
Ing accurate and authentic informa.
ton ION tap" All of them must at
some time or other have studied the
history of their country, which OF
necessity Is based largely upon ma
tional documents. This demand
therefore. for the construction OF a
national archive building is neither
more nor less than a plea for the
preservation of American history.

czarIna,s View Of Education.

According to the czarina, Russla's
troubles are due to the education OF
women. All girls, says she, should
be taught to sew, to care for their
homes and to become helpful wives
ana good mothers, but they should
never be taught history, philosophy or
science, because these studies. when
odeced to women. only result in such
terrible times as Russia is now pass

Registered in Churches.

One of the strangest things in con
nection with the recent registration
in Los Angeles is that many OF the
registrations were made in the
churches. Women attending prayer
meetings we're approached and If they
had not registered they were asked
to do 80. AS nearly $4,000 women are
on the registration books, 1t does moi
look as though they objected to vot

An odorous Army IneIosnt.

Gen. Leonard Wood did not get an
education at West Point costing the
government several thousand dollars.
His was dug out on Cape Cod and
added to after he became contract
surgeon in the army
1t is very unusual to interpose any
objection when an oficer offers his
resignation. In this case General
Wood is quoted as taking the posi-.
tion that Lieutenant Rumbough has
been educated at the expense OF the
government and should not leave the
service so soon.

women OF this country who like dainty
