North Side News

DR.. H. L. Clark, city physician, re-
ports today that North Topeka is en-
tirely free from smallpox for the first
time since the early part of January.
The scare" which hardly reached the
proportions of an epidemic, started
with a colored man, who, it is thought,
caught the disease from a Kansas City
man visiting in Topeka.
This colored man was i'll for two
weeks before the city discovered that
he had the smallpox. In the mean
time many persons had visited him and
two of his family had contracted the
disease. A total of eleven cases in
North Topeka was the result of the
carelesSnesS or ignorance of someone
in failing to report the presence of
the disease to the city health depart
ment.
No deaths have occurred, and only
two white persons were taken ILL.,
Prompt and effective quarantine by
health officers has blotted out an in
cipient epidemic. At present Doctor
Clark has one case under observation,
which may develop into smallpox
later But today the last case was
pronounced cured and the North Side
is free from the disease. There are i
few cases on the South side, these be-
ing traceable to the same original
source. but it is hoped that with the
aid of an effective isolation, the small
pox will end it's visit to a not over
cordial community.

motorist this week.
ION Saturday afternoons and
Sundays, the rush of speeding

works over the machine she is
learning to drive. She is becoming
as proficient as a man.
"A Hudson Super Six Is espe-
cially easy for woman to drive,
because she doesn't have to change
gears at crossings or In down

Field. The car can be throttled
down to walk. Any child that
can see over the windshield can
drive It.

their hands. On Hudson, all
that a woman needs to know Is
to push the right button. step on
the button in the bottom of the
car. and the car is ready to start.
Then she steps on her clutch,
puts the gear lever into low, gives
the car little gas, and let's the
clutch out slowly. When the car
starts forward, she gives the car a
little more gas, then steps on the
clutch again and shoves the gear
into termediate-and from this
into high, and the car will ruin al
most any place"
The only way woman can
learn to drive-is to drive, &C
cording to Mr.. Field. She may
ride in a car for years and be told
about the car for an equal num-
Der of years, but she will never
learn until she feels the wheel In
her hands, and the responsibility
of keeping her head and thinking
quickly.
