one of the strongest and most telling
charaeterizations seen this year. and
shared with older actors the distlnc-

during the season.
After this the playgoing public n
the United States took interest in
what he might do. So we may yet
have our polyglot dramatic season in
New York where irish German ltaI-

English and Americans dramatic

Gareth Hughes. who measured long on

This will be news to many play
goers. as Wales has not hitherto
shared in the distribution of interest
in stage matters. But a couple Of

Over in Newark, which is two hops

Miss Clifton is an attractive young

STATE OFFICIALS
AVERT EPIDEMIC
Results of Rigid Quarantine by Board
Of Health at Joliet Justifies
the Action Taken.

Springfield. Ill, July 5.-The rigid
quarantine enforced at Joliet by the
state board Of health n combating a
serious threatened epidemic Of scarlet
fever has justified itself By the results
attained. according 10 Secretary Drake
ofthe state board Of health.
A summary Of new cases reported In
Joliet showed that at the close Of the
week ending May %, the day before
the state assumed control of the sit
uation there, at the request Of the To-
cal authorities, "a news cases OF fever
had been reported The next week
there we're four cases less. 1t was
found necessary to close the schools,
churches. moving picture theatres and
other places Of public gathering to all
children under Is years of age
The result was highly satisfactory
to the authorities and townspeople
There was a gradual dimunition Of
new cases until in the week ending
June Is but one new case was report
ed The battle was not won without
difficulty, however, for despite SPLEEN
did cooperation from the educational
forces, the police. business mems or
ganizations. the local press and the
medical profession Of Joliet DR.. Craw-
ford, inspector Of the state board Of
health in charge at Joliet found it
necessary to cause the arrest Of some
of the most prominent citizens Of the
city for quarantine violations
THAT the extraordinary measures
employed were fully justified" says
the report issued by the state board Of
health SIS amply proven by the re
suits attained and tie tabulation of
new cases reported each week shows
how rapidly the disease subsidized wGen
contact with infection bearers was re-
duced to the minimum"
This experience has proved costly
to Joliet business interests, the loss
sustained being amply sufficient to
maintain a well organized health de-
partment for many years II should
he a lesson to every other city in IL
linois
More or less well meaning citizens
sometimes brighten the officials OF the
board Of health with letters telling
of places where the pestiience ex-
lists. Investigation generally shows
the report was exaggerated. The let

short duration every one played with

ginning, ~ the teams are pretty evenly
matched. All of the players came
through with nothing greater than
bruises. While teams A and p were
practicins on Lambeth Field four other
elevens worked out on the lower field
in charge of Dave Wilson. These
teams tried only the simple plays and
formations, with an occasional forward
pass.
Eight new men reported to-day,
bringing the total number OF candi-
dates close to ninety. The most promis-
