It was cold, bleak, wintry night
that greeted "Everywoman" on its en-
try to the city, but Hattiesburg didn't
seem 10 mind, and the Auditorium
was filled to the overflowing point at
the single performance.
The play is based on the old moral

the Ben Greet Players when they
toured America. 1t was written by
Walter BrBowne, a New York newspa-
per man, who obtained the idea from
ssF,vervman.v Browne died before the
first performance, never having been
permitted to witness production
which placed him in the first rank as

You was telling about germs. the
things you can't see, but which make
men SICK" Edwin prompted.
Yes. that's where l was. A man
did not notice at first when only few
Of these germs got into his body.
But each germ broke In half and be-
came two germs. and they kept doing
this very rapidly SO that in a short
time there were many mill. ms Of
them in the body. Then the man was
sick. He had disease. and the dis.
ease was named efter the kind Of q
germ that was in him. It might be
measles. 1t might be influenza. It
might be yellow fever: 1t might be
any Of thousands and thousands Of
kinds Of disease.
Nov. this is the stran: thing
about these germs. There were al
ways new ones coming to live in
mems bodies. Long and long and long
ago, When there were only a few
men in the world. there wer few dis
eases. But as men increased and
lived closely together in gree. cities
and civilizations, new diseases arose.
new kinds of germs enter their
bodies. Thus were countless millions
and billions of human beings killed.
And the more thickly men packed to-
gether. the more terrible were the
new diseases that came to be. Long
before my time. in the middle ages.
there was the black lague that
swept across Europe. It SWEET across

and the bacteriologists were eleven
years in discovering how to kill that

IN spite of all these diseases. and
of all the new ones that :ontinued to
