WELL KNOWN CHICAGO
WOMEN COMES HERE
ON VISIT To BROTHER

One of America's best known
women, Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton
Of Chicago, superintendent Of the
Juvenile Protective Association,
spent the weekend on a visit to her
brother and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Howe of this city.
Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton is
considered to be one of the worlds
greatest authorities on juvenile de-
linQuency and has spoken in every
large town in America on this Ques-
ton. She has done wonders to sup
press vice and protect the young not
only in her own city but in Boston,
Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Mrs. Britton has divided Chicago
into IA districts and has one officer
and several deputies in every dis
trlct. Some officer OF her organ
ization attends every municipal and
juvenile court session to protect
their interests and to keep tab on
them if they are delinquent.
Public dance halls, pool rooms and
candy kitchens are the special OBJ
jects of Mrs. Brittor's watchfulness
and it is claimed that no saloon can
sell a juvenile a drink, or put in a
slot machine without a complaint
going into headquarters by one Of
her officers within twenty-four
hours. Objectional post cards and
moving picture films are all watched
for by Mrs. Britton's officers and if
found are destroyed on the spot.
Mrs. Britton declined to talk here
as she is taking a short rest. She
was accompanied by her husband,
DR.. James A. Britton, tuberculosis
specialist for the International Har-
vester interests and medical officer
to the municipal court of Chicago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Britton were enter
tained at the Ormonde Hotel by Mr.
and Mrs. H. E. Howe.

BIG ATTENDANCE At
SKI CLUB TOURNAMENT

The first tournament of the winter
by the Virginia Ski club was held
Sunday at the hill here. The riders
made the slide and jump in the face
of strong wind and hence the dis
tances made were short. In the class
A event the longest jump was by
Lars Haugen of Fergus Falls, 12O
feet. Those who got within the
prize awards in the class A event,
together with points made were:
Barney Riley, Virginia, 270 1-3;
Erling Landvik, Stoughton, Wis.,,
254; August Nordby, independent,
240 2-3; Anders Haugen, Chippewa
Falls, 236 2-3; Oscar Gunderson,
Chippewa Falls, 232 23; Ole Feir-
ing, Virginia, 232 1-3; A. Bratlund,
Ironwood, Mich, 223.
In the class B event six prizes
were awarded in the order as fol-
lows and with the points indicated
Bert Hansen, Virginia, 232 2-3; John
Jobe, lronWood, 232 2-3; John Field
seth, Ironwood, 222 l-3; A. Nylund,
Virginia, 2lS; A. Lindholm, Vir-
ginia, 2l2 IL; Marvin Olson, Vir-
ginia, 202 2-3.
In the evening at North Pale hall
a banquet was held which was at
tended by the riders, many of the
club members and other visitors.
Edw. G. A. Johnson presided and
there were addresses by Mayor Muir
ply, M. H. Mcmahon, Charles Line,
Harry Solberg, Sixtus Lindalh, O. N.
Berg, Charles G. Olson and several
others. In point Of attendance and
gate receipts the tournament was a
success. There were thirty-three
entries. The club will hold one and
possibly two other tournaments this
year. 1t will send large delega-
ton, accompanied by band, to
1ronwood in February, and make a
strong effort to obtain the national
tournament for Virginia in 1914.

SHOWS ONE VERY GOOD REASON
FOR SOCIAL UNREST"


Washington, Oct. 2o.-If the newly
appointed Industrial Commission,
which is to inquire into the causes
of industrial unrest, will send to the
new Commissioner of Labor Statis-
tics, Royal Meeker, and get copy
of the first publication issued by that
bureau since he became commits
sioner it will find therein one very
good reason for social unrest"
This bulletin, just published, shows
marked and continuing increase
and tendency toward unemployment
in three important American indus
tries cotton, wool and silk. If the
Industrial Commission will examine
the figures presented in this report
and then go back over the newspaper
files for the stories of the Lawrence
and Patterson strikes, and look up
some of the statistics of child labor
and unemployment in Southern cot
ton mills, they may connect up some
valuable information.
1t appears from Commissioner
Meeker's report that there has been
a decline in the cotton industry since
1890 of more than per cent in nom
inal full time hours per week. In the
silk industry this decline amounts to
5.8 per cent, and in the wooden indus
try for the same period of time the
decline is more than per cent. What
this decline means is an increasing
irregularity of employment-an in
crease in casual employment.
The report shows that between
1890 and 1900 the cotton mills ran on
the average full time. The wooden
mills and the silk mills also ran full
time during this period. But during
the period between 1900 and 1912 an
increasing irregularity of running
time is observed. For instance, the .
wooden mills, which showed relative
nominal full time of hours per week

Urges Vaccination To Prevent Connecticut
 Smallpox Epidemic
Health Board Officials Points Out Dangers Existing From Mild Cases Which Do Not Receive Care
 Of Physicians

Hartford, Dec. 15-"The continued presence of smallpox in the state,'' says pr. Joseph H. Townsend, secre- tary of the state board of health, in the monthly bulletin issued by the board today, makes it again neces- sary to call attention to the import ance of a more general vaccination against smallpox. During the past fall the disease has prevailed extens- ive1y in the eastern part of the state, the extreme mtldness of many of the cases which did not come under the care of a physician, contrfbuting to it's spread.
 '"The experience of a hundred years proved the absolute protection against smallpox afforded by successful vac cination with reliable lymph and re- peated with sufficient frequency. The protection secured by a single vac cination is not perpetual in all per sons. Therefore, representation should be had after a few years especially if the disease is prevalent
 tsAlI men of experience are agreed that no quarantine, however rigid and well carried out, will always prevent the spread of smallpox. There arc always mild unrecognized cases which never see physicians and which go towards spreading the disease after severe cases are subdued.
 How easily the disease may be spread is shown by a case in New London recently where 8. homeless woman with two children suffering

from smallpox spent the night in a railroad station exposing many trav-s e1ers to infection. The expense toss a community in maintaining a stridt1 quarantine is often enormous. ffHa and w1l1imantic last year cost the pqb-s 600 in addition to the loss to individ- ua1s.
 '"The protection afforded by sue cessfu1 vaccination is so certain, while quarantine is so ineffectual and expensive, that in some states the quarantining of smallpox has been discontinued and the burden of pro tecting himself put on the individual and not upon the public. Homes are p1acarded and the public warned to get vaccinated. In this way the money expended for isolation hospi- tals, special guards, special fees and so forth is saved for a. much better public use. Vaccination and vaccin-, ation alone will prevent smallpox. Reports received by the board show
 that there were 1,273 deaths during the month of November. This was 36 more than in October and 20 more than in November of last year and 51
 more than the average number of
 deaths during November for the five
 years proceeding. The death rate was 13.0 for the large towns, for the small towns 12.5 and l for the whole state 13.1. The deaths
 reported from infectious diseases were
 160, being 12.5 per cent. of the total
 mortality.
