SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
in CLARK'S TROOPS
Son of Speaker Wires Col. Fenton
for Vaccination Papers.

To avoid a third incubation with
smallpox germs, Bennett Clark, son
OF Speaker Champ Clark Of the House
of Representatives. telegraphed Col.
Fenton at Fort Myer for a certificate
showing that he was vaccinated by
army doctors when a rookie" officer
camp.
Recently a mild epidemic of this
disease broke out among men of the
Sixth Missouri Infantry Regiment. to
which the Speakers son is attached.
and the company In which the cases
were reported was quarantined. POSI-
tive proof had to be shown by each
soldier, officer and private alike, that
he had had the germs Shot in his
arm according to army regulations.
Hence the appeal by young Clark,
through his father. to Col. Fenton,
who commanded the initial camp on
Virginia Heights. for a paper prov
ing that he had taken the dose -
Lacking a prompt answer to his wire,
the young officer would have been
inoculated for the third time, the first
occurring when he was a child.
Bennett Clark graduated from Fort
Myer on August 5. with commission
of a captain in the Officers Reserve
Corps. He Immediately went to Mis-
souri,, resigned his officership in the
reserve, and was commissioned by the
governor as Northumberland in the
Sixth Missouri Infantry, stationed at
the town OF Nevada, where the cpl
demic occurred.

POOR Children MAKE MORE REQUESTS
TOSEE JACK and THE BEANSTALK''

Fully 1000 orphans and children of
families where adventitious circum-
stances do not afford the kiddies
adequate opportunities to amuse them
selves, will witness the perturbation of
the famous fairy tale of Jack and the
Beanstalk," tomorrow morning at
1880 o'clock, as the guests of The
Washington Herald, the William
Fox Motion Picture Corporation and
the management of the Belasco
Theater.
Each day brings forth more re-
quests for passes for the unfortu-
nate little ones OF Washington who
have lost their fathers and moth
es. The latest request is from st.
Vincents Orphan Asylum. which
will send 110 of its charges to see
the marvellous performances of the
renowned Jack" who not only
slays the cruel giant, but rescues
the beautiful pricesss. The picture
is shown every matinee and even
ing this week.
Ten wonderful reels of pictures
are required to depict the awe-in-
spring adventures of Jack" in the
enchanted land of the fairies. Prob
ably every child has heard and read
the fable hundreds OF times, but
this is their first opportunity to see
the far more spectacular movie
version Of the famous fairy tale.

dressmaker?"
l wonder why 1t is that 1t never
seems to occur to girls, or boys
either, at this age that they owe 10y
atty and love to the father and
mother who have brought them up
from babyhOod. It would not be
such a terrible thing for this girl to
learn dressmaking. Really, l think
it would be quite a help to her If she
did decide later to study for the pro-
fessional stage. One does not become
Geraldine Farrar overnight. II
takes years of study and patience, as
well as supremely good health.
1 think the right thing for this girl
to do II she is really and truly in
earnest. is to sacrifice some of her
personal ambition until she is Is
years old. Surely her later years
even if she does win success in her
chosen field. will yield her more hap
piness IL she has no shadow of self
reproach or regret.
The end Of her letter was full OF
questions about myself. She wanted
to know how old l was, what my
ideal type of man was, IL I believed
That romance or reason should be a
girls guide in choosing her husband,
what my favorite perfume was, and
whether my hair was naturally curly
They were all perfectly harmless
questions. but as read them, I could
not help wishing that life had already
given her some good hard lessons in
responsibility. This came to me when
/ was such a little girl and I've never
been sorry for 1t. 1t is a splendid
thing TO be so busy that you have
not time or inclination for inquisitive-
ness.
That old Irish lady whom 1 have
spoken of before who was our nurse
back in Toronto. used to say,
IAN ye give a fool or a child his
way. Ye can hunt the bog for feet
astray."
l wish I could send out a personal
appeal to mothers of girls of this
age. to be just as patient and SYM
pathetic as they can be, and still
hold the reins firmly. From nv own
experience know there is nothing on
earth so tender and wonderful as
the understanding love of a mother
1t is too rare and precious a gift to
be thrown away lightly for the
doubtful lure of ambition.
The Washington herald., 1917-08-29

A girl writes to me that she is just
at the inquisitlve age, between fifteen
and sixteen. l laughed when l read
her letter. 1t was so characteristic OF
the schoolgirl point of view on life.
Mary dear:-I am sure you will not

after reading your articles every day
in the paper that you are the only
one who really understands me. My
father and my mother both want me
to learn dressmaking as soon as / fin

wonderful child actress, and Francis
Carpenter, who portrays the part of

kiddies with awe, and take the

hadn't watched OUT and walked the
