WHOOPING Cough Peril
Shown BY FATALITIES
Health Department Issue, Warning
Against Epidemic Here

An epidemic OF whooptng-co appears
to be sweeping over the city at the pres
ent time.
On the books OF the local Health De-
partment. 1873 cases arc on record as
undergoing treatment The department
says that many people are inclined to
regard the disease as Of trivial impor-
tance and do not take proper precau-
tions to guard against t.
During the fve-year period from 1911
to 1915. there occurred In the District Of
Columbia IA deaths from whooping-
cough. while during the same period
scarlet fever dyphtheria and measles
combined caused but 209 deaths.
Whooping- cough Is especially fatal
among the very young, the greatest num-
Der Of deaths occurring when the chill
dren are under years OF age. The dis
ease IL most contagious during the early
catarrhal stage and Is conveyed by means
which are elected during the Ats Of
that the distance within which a person
is liable to infection is about five feet,
and in some instances may be greater
Whooping-cough, the Health Depart
ment states, can but seldom be dag
rosed in its early stages. yet at this
period 1t is the most contagious. Parents
therefore should avoid exposing children,
especially the very young, to those pre-
senting catarrhal symptoms of the res
piratory tract
TT Is we'll to know some of the pre-
cautions that should be taken to ward
OF the malady," says the Health De-
partment- Avoid taking young children
into crowded or ilI-ventilated buildings"

DEFENDS SCHOOL FRATERNITIEs.
William F. GUIDE Questions Right to
Bar Greek Letter Societies.

According to William F. Guide the
Board OF Education has absolutely no
power to control the existence OF the
high school fraternity provided that the
iatter's activities take place outside Of
the school He said that If the school
board has secret sessions they should
not forbid the students to have their
little secret societies. Mr.. GUIDE asserts
that it would be UNCONVENTIONAL to
legislate on what friendships a boy or
girl should form.
Mr. Guide Is of the opinion that the
fraternity will continue in some form
irrespective of any ruling made against
r. lie says that it may take life in an
alumni chapter allowing to the students
all the privileges OF the fraternity. NJ
GUIDE believes that as long as the parents
do not object to their children beccm-
ing members of Greek letter societies
that the Board of Education should allow
fraternities to exist

The First Girl and The Second Girl had
been friends for many years, although
the natures of them were quite dissimilar.
The First Girl sought first the king
dom of God and His Righteousness"
The Second Girl lived on a more ma
terial plane, cherishing ideas and ideals
of life that frequently fell short OF the
mark OF nobility.
The Man knew them both: liked them
both and respected their longtime bond
Of friendship for each other.
But the time came when the gentle
ness, sweetness and nobility of The
First Girl won for her more than The
Mans regard. In her society he found
peace, contentment and genuine compan-
ionship. Naturally he sought her more
and more as his knowledge Of her char
acter Increased his admiration, until at
last he asked her to be his wife.
The First Girl was SO happy in her
love for Tho Man, in her knowledge of
his love for her, in their mutual plans
for life and a homo together that at
first she couldn't bring herself to talk
of her betrothal beyond the pale of her
immediate family. 1t was all just her
own precious secret which she didn't
want to share with any one.
But when she decided at last to speak
OF her great happiness The Second Girl
was the first she told.
Like many another who desires nothing
until 1t seems of some value to another,
The Second Girl had not been. particu-
larly attracted to The Man until she
knew OF his engagement to The First
Girl. After that he became a prize in
her eyes-worth even the price of her
honor.
So being as willy and subtle as the pro-
verbal serpent, The Second Girl kept
silent concerning The Mans engagement
to The First Girl-most of all to The
Man himself Pretending ignorance of
the situation. she took advantage OF The
First Girls absence upon a visit to
friends in a distant city to place The
Man under obligations to her. She gave
a delightful party, and so marked was
her attention throughout the evening to
The Man that her behavior melted the
comment OF her other guests.
Il thought Tho Man was engaged to
Tho First Girl" Somebody commented to
Some body-else.
Whereupon Somebody-else declared It
as her opinion that he was mighty sweet
on The Second Girl. and upon this frail
Gossip began to wag her
tongue.
The Mans birthday, coming shortly
after the party. gave The Second Girl
opportunity to make him a gift 1t was
of such an expensive nature that The
Man felt obligated to return it. Gifts
of several books which The Second Girl
declared she wanted The Man to read
The Washington herald., 1916-12-30

Quite by accident. The First Girl learn
ed Of The Mans gifts to The Second Girl.
Had they been casual gifts they doubtless
would have made small impression upon
her mind. Or had he told her of them
frankly he would have forestalled her
suspicion.
Flowers there had. been to The Second
Girl. gloves, and finally silk stockings.
The Man had made no such intimate
gifts to his fiance, and his effort to ex-
plain a situation that would justify gifts
Of that sort to another was without avail.
The First Girl. in the fine and generous
heart of her. chided herself for her in
ability to believe The Man, and for
time made pretense of accepting his ex-
PLANTATION.
But little by little. as the impression
The Second Girl had taken such pains
to give The World OF The Mans afrec-
ton for her sifted back to The First
Girl she found her faith more difficult to
maintain.
Whenever he was with her she
would think of silk stockings.
Whenever she saw The Second Girl
that young lady's studied silence con-
cerning The Man brought to The First
Girls mind the memory of silk stock
ings.
Alone with her unhappiness II was
the same. The Mans intimate gift to
the other woman ran continuously
through her thought until, in the end.
her faith in him lay Gown in her heart
and died: her dream of happiness went
out like a candle that had ben snuffed;
her friendship with The Second Girl
ended. and Mrs. Gossip wagged her
tongue right merrily.
For everybody said The Second Girl
had cut The First Girl out, not know
lnR of that
awakened too late to The Second Girls
duplicity. and held in his heart
hatred for her for the wreckage she
has wrought that will follow him to
his grave.
