No Villain In This Plav

Cecil B. DeMille's newest Art
craft production. For Better, For
Worse" which will be shown at
Loew's Palace Theater today. is un-
usual in many ways, as all the De-
Mile special productions are. One
OF the most unique things about it
is that it has no villain.
All the characters are real hu-
man beings. graphing with human
situations, and the sympathy of the
audience goes out to every one of
them, in spite of their mistakes
and rash actions. The picture deals
with the most vital of modern prob
lens raised by the war. which are
now engaging public attention. =

protection of the nations health
during the reconstruction era will be
discussed by government experts
and health authorities from every.
state in the union at the annual
meeting of the National tuberculosis
Association which opens here Satur-
day, June II. The sessions will con.
tinue until June II.
Fifteen hundred state and local
voluntary anti-tuberculosis orsani-
cations. which have led the fight
against the disease in the past ten
years. will be represented by dele
gates. who will make a strong plea
for further cooperation on the part
of the government in their campaiRn.
AS a result of their representa-
tons. based on wartime revelations,
they hope that division of tuber-
culosis will be created in the United
States Public Health Service.
New truths about tuberculosis
learned during the war will be pre-
sented by army and medical men
who fought the disease both over
seas and in the military hospitals
here.

Members Of the League

uStuoCTS OF INC League
The original members of the
League are those who are admitted
| without vote of the Assembly. and
therefore without giving guarantees
OF their sincerity and without regu-
lations in regard to their military
and naval forces. These countries
are enumerated in the Annex to the
Covenant and they are divided into
; two classes. The first list comprises
all the countries. except Russia. that
declared war. or were deemed to
have taken part in the war. against
Germany. They are thirty-two in
number. including as distinct mem
bers India and the four largest self
governing colonies of England. The
second list contains the names Of
thirteen states, being all those neu-
| trails during the late war which have
free and stable governments. The
chief nations not in these lists are
Germany. with Austria Hungary.
Bulgaria and Turkey, her allies in
the war: and Russia. whose political
future is as yet wholly uncertain.
Need Of Preponderance
Assuming that the countries named
in the Annex to the Covenant WILL

ceptions, join the League it is inter-
esting to compare the relative popu
lations included within it and those
which are at present left out. for on
