Miss Ida Vera Simmonton yesterday.
Miss Simmonton has returned here
after being the first white woman
to penetrate the jungle on the west
coast Of Africa.
"A young girl is really safer in the
African jungle than she is on the

ways watching. Industrial octopuses

Life along the Congo is a battle

100000 SAVED
FROM PHTHISIS
~prue statistician Tells of e.
feet of 10 Years Campaign
Against Consumption.

WASHINGTON. D, C.. May g.
Nearly 100000 lives have been saved
Ia the United states during the
decade ending 1910 by the systematic
campaign against tuberculosis, said
Frederick L. Hoffman, of Newark,
n. j., statistician for the Prudential
insurance company of America, to-
day in a paper read at the ninth
annual meeting of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. The death
rate from tuberculosis during this
period, he declared. has dimin-
ished from 1745 to 1897 per 100000
Of population. Mortality from this
disease has decreased, actually as
well as relatively. during the last
thirty days.
Where so much has been achieved,
said Mr. Hoffman the hope Is justi-
led that at least equally satisfactory
results will be secured in the future.
The nationwide campaign against
tuberculosis would have been well
worth while even If it had succeeded
an1y in preventing a rise in the death
rate which, in all probability. would
have taken place but for this move
nnent
All the evidence obtainable from
trustworthy sources confirms the
conclusion that the reduction in the
tuberculosis death rate in the United
states during the last forty years has
not been less, but in many cases
more than in other civilized coun-
tries throughout the world.
The annual reports of Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary, showed
that in two years the number of
agencies connected with the move
snent has increased from 1.325 to,oyer
1000. At the present time there are
SIT sanatoria and hospitals, 1,049 as
sociations and committees, 400 dis
pensaries and clinics, and 1853 open
air schools and fresh air classes en-
gagged in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign in the United States.
The Red Cross seal campaign has
produced for the various anti-tuber-
cuIosis associations throughout the
United States more than 100000. an
increase of nearly % per cent. over
the 1911 sale.

Skirts and Kisses
to Vanish When
Women Don Pant.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Skirts will
be discarded by the time the year
201S rolls around. and both sexes will
parade in oriental trousers. Kissing
at that time will have gone the way
of the skirts and sentimental couples
bent on matrimony will be compelled
to approach the altar armed with
personal health certificates.
These predictions are made in a
drama written by Mrs, Christian
Hemmick, a local society woman and
tragist, which, it was announced
today, is to be produced here this
month for the benefit of the suf-
fragists' cause, in connection with a
morality play, also written by Mrs.
Hemmick.
Complete reviews of both plays are
TO be given at a meeting in the Cham
Der of Commerce this week. The
author is to explain the inspiration
and object of her two efforts, and
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife of the
former government pure food expert,
also is to speak. Mrs. Wiley is to
take part in one of the productions.
A renewal of activity was evident
at the headquarters of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association today
1t was partly inspired by the arrival
Of Judge John Crosby, of Colorado,
representing the Mems National As
ISOLATION for Woman Suffrage, who
is expected TO direct vigorous cam
paign, as the result of which the suf-
fragists hope to increase the number
Of their converts in Congress.

BI,AMES WOMEN FOR
MORALlTY'S DECLINE

ALTOONA, Pa. May SIN caustic
style yesterday the decline in moral
standards in America was placed on
''the immodest fashions" by the Rev.
]. III. Keller, of Philipsburg, Pa.
speaking before the Northeast Synod
of the Lutheran Church. The Rev.
Keller said:
''The cry today is that girls go
wrong because they are dogged by
men, but the initiative appears to be
taken by the mothers and daughters
themselves. Nightcaps, scant attire,
peekaboo waists, hobble skirts and
fiimsy silken stockings do not breed
respect for womanhood. If women
want to wear trousers, why do they
not wear them with both legs, in
stead Of trying to stick both feet into
one leg?''F
