DAY CELEBRATED

Chief Justice Harry Olson Of the Nh
ntctpal Court Delivered IN interest,"

the Present World war.

Tuesday evening Appomattox. Day
was celebrated at the Apponattox Club
3441 8. Wabash avenue; its pleasantly
appointed parlors were well filed by il
members and friends, including the IL.
dies.
Its president, 8. A. 7. Watkins, served
as master Of ceremonies and in q few
well chosen remarks he presented the
honored guest to the gathering, Hon.
Harry Olson, chief justice of the Mu-
nicipal Court, who was warmly received
by the audience.
Judge Olson plainly stated that he
considered that it would be more bene-
fetal to those whom he was about to ad-
dress to elaborate on the present world
war and not devote all of his time to the
scenes which took place at AppOmattOx
Court House in Virginia, some SO years
ago.
He therefore spent more than an hour
in thoroughly covering all of the Incl
dents and events leading up to the
greatest war which has ever confronted
all the people throughout the civilized
world.
BE paid glowing tribute in closing
10 the COlored soldiers for the bravery
which they have always displayed, in all
Of the wars, for the defense of the
American flag, American institutions,
md to the colored people in general
and he eontended that If this war for q
worlds democracy did not mean better
treatment for the Colorsd people and
anger opportunities for them in all of
Inc industrial avenues then we might
Is well stop fighting right now.
At the eonelusion Of the program,
Indge Olson shook hands with every
,ody present and felt that he was at
lone and among friends. Prssidsat
Watkins escorted him through the club
oons and he was very much pleased

More than ore-half has gone in loan,

spent for the army and military estab-

one-ffteenth for shipbuilding.
Just One-sixth of this big war cost
has been raised by taxation and other
ordinary sources Of revenue, and the
balance has come from sale of Liberty

Enormous as these war expenditures
may seem to a country whose govern
ment in peace times costs between $780,
100000 and $500, OeO, 900, they are less
than Great Britain's and are only about
two-thirds Of estimates made by officials
less than a year ago. Slow progress of
the shipbuilding program and the retard-
ing of the outpOuring of war supplies
are regarded by officials as the chief rea-
sons why expenses did not equal esti-
mates.

DOMESTIC PBrs-DANeRRoUs.

The U. s. Public Health Service, in {
recent bulletin, calls attention to eth,
sanitary dangers from domestic pets
and emphasizes the role that they may
play in the transmission of disease, es
! peeially among children.
In support of this statement an in
stance is cited of fatal case of small.
pox in an infant in arms. The nearest
case of the disease was in a house more
than block distant and with no social
or neighborly intercourse between the
families. But a pet dog in the infected
family happened also to be on friendly
terms with the family wherein the in
FAINT was attacked with the disease.
"In no other way" the report con-
tinues, "eould the source of the infec-
tion of the baby be explained than that
the dog fOndled by the children of the
smallpox family carried the virus of the
disease to the neighbours baby. SINH
lar instances have been noted before in
connection with smallpox transmission,
and cats and dogs both have been in
eliminated as carriers of plague infected
feas-cases of bubonie plague 50 con-
traeted having been observed by Public
Health Service officers working in re-
cent plague epidemies. The same house
hold pets also have been charged in
certain instances with the responsibility
Of carrying the infection of diphtheria,
scarlet fever and other communicable
diseases Of children, as wen as various
intestinal parasites"
The Department of Health many
times has called attention to the danger
attendant upon keeping animal pets in
city homes and flats. And in this con-
neetion it has been urged that it is not
fair to the animals themselves to be
kept in quarters and under conditions |
where the outdoor air and freedom Of |
exercise needed cannot be obtained.
But when the possible health menace Is |
taken into consideration, the pleasure
derived from the presence Of animal
pets may after all cost much more than |
it is worth. And while this phase Of the
question is with Ms AL the time, there
Is just now another that il also greatly
worth while Food conservation is now
Of prime Importance. Are dogs and
sats worth the food they consumed
fhis, along with their being possible
'Preaders- Of disease and sources Of an
asyanee to neighbOrs, makes II indeed
Questionable 6 to the wisdom Of eoa-
'inuins the practice Of keeping thsn IN
'ur city homes.
