CROSSES SEA TO THEDA BARA
DID SLOPPY BILL TERRENCE"

sloppy Bill" is the name of the Rus
sian krukusan dog which followed Miss
Theda Bara to this country, and which
is to be seen with her in the William
Fox photo play 1.-THE Serpent" Need
less to say, the dog was not named by
Miss Bara. who resents mention of
him as Sloppy Bill" although she ad-
mits the applicability of the title. She
calls him Terrence"
Terrence" or SLOPPY BILL as yon
chose, was born eleven years ago in
Moscow. He was originally owned by
an actor and travelled all over Europe.
When his master died in London the
cog became the property of an Eng
fish explorer who took him into Africa
The dog was there stolen by an Eng
fish sailor, taken back to Europe ana
afterwards to this country.
The dog returned to Russia with a
wool buyer. That was in 1918.
Nothing is known of his whereabouts
from then until the early part of 1915,
when he showed up at the Fox studio
in Petrograd, Russia where he be
came the special pet of Miss Bara.
Miss Bara returned TO this country
few weeks later. In December, 1915.
Sloppy Bill" showed up at the Fox
studios in New Jersey, where Miss
Bara was playing. How he got there
no one knows. This picture at Opera

REBELLION DID NOT
HURT IRELAND ANY

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 16-The
Dublin correspondent of The Associat-
ed Press has interviewed the Right
Hon. James Gallagher, Lord Mayor of
Dublin, in reference to the statements
which have been made regarding a
supposed exceptional state of distress
IT. the city due to the April rebellion
and its suppression.
The Lord Mayor said I'VE are abb
solutely better off this year than last
year, Notwithstanding the rebellion.
There is, on the contrary, a good
deal of money coming into the city
for separation allowance for the de-
Eendents of the men, most of them Of
the working classes, who joined the
army. Information obtained from
from various traders in the city en-
able me to say that trade is as good if
not better than it was twelve months
ago. Moreover, employment has been
added to owing to the amount of
munition work done in the city. We
have five or six factories each en-
ploying from one hundred to six hun
dred hands. Women are earning very
good wages, and Dublin women have
proved adaptable in she'll making. The
result is that the government is able
to turn out shells in Dublin and in
Ireland generally, cheaper than it
can do it in England
THE effect of the rebellion said
the Lord Mayor, was only temporary.
A certain number of people were
thrown out of employment by the
destruction of the premises in which
they worked but that temporary need
was promptly. met. got up a fund
which amounted to five or six thous-
and pounds, and the local, committee
which had been working for the
Prince of Wales fund in relief of war
distress gave me permission to spend
from their resources something like
1000 pounds in addition. We had the
advantage in distributing these funds
to the necessition of all the machin-
cry used by the local relief committee.
The need was only temporary, most
of the people who were not employed
at that time have got employment
either from their old or new employ
ers. Some went to England and Sc
cured employment in the munition
factories"
The authorities of the St Vincent
de Paul Society, who have closer
touch with the poor in the City of
Dublin than any other organization,
tell me that the number of cases on
their books in the City is exactly the
same today as it was at the beginning
Of October last year"

Winter Morninu GIories.

If you wish to make your dining
room more cheerful on winter days,
put five or six morning glory seeds in
small flower pot Zone nice size
for the table) and when they come up
make small rack for them. With a
little care in watering and twining
them around the rack you soon have
pretty little plant. There will be
from one to five blossoms on it every
morning, which will look wonderfully
bright and cheerful on the breakfast
table on cold winter mornings. When
the sun is not too bright they some
times stay out all day. They seem
to stand the cold well, as they are not
easily frozen.

the play, to take my little dog out
for a walk. He did not return, and
as I passed a barrOom on my way

was contemplating the actor who
was leaning on the bar with his

a dozen men who seemed to be treat

tober 8, 1854; educated at the University of
the South at Sewanee, Tenn, where he studied
from 1869 to 1876, graduating with the degree
of bachelor of arts. He graduated in medicine
at the Bellevue Hospital Medical college in 1879
He served the house staff of the Bellevue
hospital from 1879 to 1880; entered the United
States army in 1880, and served in Florida ana
on the western frontier until the Spanish Amer
lean war broke out in 1893. He went to CUBA
with the expedition which captured Santiago
After the fall of Santiago General Gorgas con-
tracted typhoid fever, and was sent back to the
United States. He went with the expeditionary
force which occupied Havana in December, 1898,
where he remained as health officer until the fall
of 1902 During his incumbency as health officer
of the city of Havana the army medical board
made a discovery with regard to yellow fever
and found that it was conveyed by the Stegomyia
MOSQUITO AS health officer with his sub
ordinates he devised plans and measures whereby
this discovery put into practical service.
As a result of these measures Havana was
freed from yellow fever entirely in about eight
months although the disease had been there
continuously for the previous $50 years For
this work he was promoted by special act of
congress from the grade of major to that of
colonel
For ten years Doctor Gorgas was stationed in
the Panama Canal zone, as the chief health Of
ficer of the isthmian canal commission. He was
ordered to Panama in March, 1904, and three
member of the commission. He was chosen for
the Panama work because of his record He
made Panama one of the healthiest places in
the world and, more than this, he made the liv
ing conditions of the laborer on the isthmus
sanitary, as comfortable and desirable as the
conditions surrounding the labcrer anywhere in
the world.

with some friends to visit hospital on an is
land off the coast. This hospital had been built
by the French. When General GOrgas went to
the isthmus he took the building, put it into
perfect sanitary condition. and made it place
of reception for convalescents. The hospital
never was full, because there wasn't enough
sickness in the zone to produce convalescents
enough at any time to tax the hospital facilities.
The fact that this particular building never was
crowded and that it a small building at best,
perhaps furnishes one of the best proofs possible
of the commanding medical work which was
done in a place generally accounted as one OF

AUTHORS DEBUT AS ACTOR
Not an Especially Prominent Part, but

Jules Eckert Goodman, otherwise

He has gratified his lifelong ambition

The big event came off at Mount Yer

by which the remarkable wave scene

workmen getting the "set" ready for
the ocean. Goodman shrank back sud
denly into a dark recess of the stage
when he noted the approach Of the

the slouching figure a moment and
then seized him roughly by the Shout

made to your correspondent by General Gorgas
which was nothing short of startling in its ma
ture. He said: "If the governments of Vene-
zuela and Ecuador would spend few thousand
dollars to stamp out yellow fever there never
would be another case Of the disease known to
the world
For some reason or other the South American
countries in which the yellow fever still exists
will not spend the money necessary to stamp it
out. So it is that so long as the disease exists
there, it is possible for some man, perhaps
sailor to be bitten by a feverladen mosquito
Just before he sails for another port and to carry
with him the poison. 1t is held by the high think
ers that the countries of South America where
yellow fever exists should be forced to stamp
out the disease in order that the rest of the
world may be safe for all time from the menace
of the dread yellow jack"
Some time ago, during process of dredging,
a low spot on the zone was turned into marsh,
and almost instantly the malaria mosquito be-
gan to breed there abundantly. Literally mil
lions of the insects appeared. Now, there was no
danger that they would spread malaria among
the zone people, because the insects had to be-
come charged with the poison first; but, of course,
it was necessary to determine how far the crea-
lures could travel, and this is the way they
found out:
An able-bodied and perfectly willing native
was put into mosquito net tent, where he sat
IL.
Of gold for his batting work and he, with others
who afterward were employed said it was easy
money.
When the tent had million or more mosqul-
toes in it the native came out and the entrance
was closed. Then the scientists sprayed the
tent and it's confined mosquitoes with coloring
matter The spray was so fine that 1t dld not
drown or even drench the insects but they re-
ceived some coloring matter on their wings and
bodies.
other tents were pitched and in each was sta
toned a human bait. These tents were at GER
tain distances apart. All the mosquitoes in the
first tent were released and they were traced
by color from tent to tent until none were found.
In that way they found out how far the malaria
fever mosquito would travel
Surgeon General Gorgas makes his headquar-
tiers in Washington, but he is soldier constant
ly subject to orders and also to the dictates OF
his own Judgment. Any day he may be obliged
to 90 straight to the front, not to meet the hui
man enemy but the disease enemy. His is the
responsibility for the health of the soldiers in
Texas in the Canal zone, in Hawaii and in the
Philippine islands. It is his to meet, physician
like and soldierlike any emergency which may
arise He is one of the gentlest men known to

a Woman Among the Glaciers.

A woman, Dora Keen, has dared
what no men have tried to do since
1894, plotting an expedition on gla-
cier trip from Valdez on the southern
coast Of Alaska to the Harvard gla-
cier at the head of College ford, in
Prince William sound. She was
guide for a party of three men. The
first risk was from the ice falling from
the ends of the glacier, and after es-
Gaping death there they climbed to
the surface of the glacier. 1t took
nine days to advance seven miles,
and on the ninth day they passed the
fuel line. One day it took three
hours to travel quarter of mile.
The party travelled over deep ere
vases, some open, some deeply yelled
with snow and some bridged with slip
perry ice bridges. A fall into one OF
these chasms was likely to be fatal.
The men carried packs that weighed
so pounds, and Miss Keen's weighed
%. These packs and the ice axes that
each carried made jumping difficult
Miss Keen says that the beauty of the
mountains repaid for the lack of COM
forts.
