GEORGETOWN FACES
TIGHT QUARANTINE
Militia May be Called to Vac
climate Residents.

Dover, Del, Jan. Smallpox vac
cfnation viii be enforced at George
town or we will quarantine the entire
town.
'We are considering asking Governor
Townsend 10 send a militia detach-
ment there to enforce the vaccination
order"
This ultimatum was issued by DR..
L. S. Conwell, head of the state board
of health, following the demonstration,
in which G. II. Wells, a special health
commissioner, was ordered out of
Georgetown by mob of several hun
dred men.
1T is no longer a question of vac
cination," he said. "a lawless element
is defying the law, and it is a ques-
ton of whether mob rule or the state
law will prevail. We do not propose
to let mob law dictate to US. The
residents will be vacclnaIed or fined
or imprisoned.
Legal action, he said, will be taken
against all who can be recognized as
taking part in the organized resist
ance. Some of them are said to be
leading business men.
The demonstration was the result
of a state order to compel every resi-
dent of the town to be vaccinated.
Commissioner Wells had sworn out
warrants for the arrest of twenty per-
sons who refused to be vaccinated,
but could find no town or county Off
Gals to serve the warrants. In the
evening a crowd stormed the hotel
where he was staying, put him m a
,motorcar and drove him to Milford,
twhere he was put on a train and
warned not to return to Sussex coun-
ty.
Orders for a railroad quarantine of
the town were received, according to
Mayor Fl. C. Stewart. 1t will be eff
fective today or tomorrow, he said,
and would prevent any passengers
leaving the town.

REvISIONISTS PLAN
STATE AID REFORM
Compromise Amendment to
Limit appropriations.

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 15.-Three new
amendments were offered at the ses-
sion of the constitution revision com
mission to smooth the troubled waters
of the storm which arose over the
subject of appropriations TO charitable
institutions not under state control.
Two amendments were discussed on
the floor Tuesday, thus making total
of five proposals on the subject which
all the members admit needs correc-
ton. The amendments range from
cutting off appropriations absolutely
to mild notifications of the present
system, and have caused more spirited
discussion than any topic Yet consid-
cred.
Despite the lengthy debate, no con-
clusion was reached
The two other amendments provid-
ing for the absolute elimination of APP
preparations come from two Demo-
cratic members of the commission,
former Judge James Gay Gordon, of
Philadelphia, and Vance Mccormick,
of Harrisburg. George Wharton Pep
per, of Philadelphia Francis Newton
Thorpe, of Pittsburgh, and Attorney
General William I. Schaffer, chairman
of the commission, are the fathers Of
the amendments to retain under re-
vised conditions the system of state
support.
Mr.. Schaffer proposes in his SubSti-
tute to include the charitable appro-
priations in the budget plan. 1t would
permit no appropriation to charity
now under state control which did not
receive an appropriation in 1919.
This will prevent the number of
appropriations to private charities
from growing TO proportions that men
ace the state" he explained.
Mr.. Thorpe introduced an amend
ment 70 the amendment. He proposed
every appropriation to the charity not
state controlled should be passed by Il
two-thirds majority of both houses of
the legislature, and institutions accept
ing such aid should be open to inSpec-
ton by the STATE and should submit
periodical reports to the state.
The proposed amendment, which OPP
ems all offices from the governorship
down, to women after they have ac-
quired the right to vote, was adopted
by the commission sitting as a COM
mit+ee of the whole.

UNDERTAKES UNDER FIRE
Propaganda For Return of Soldiers
Bodies CHARGED in Senate.


Washington, Jan. 14.-ChargeS by
relatives of American soldiers buried
in France that undertakers and others
were attempting to commercialiZe
their grief in connection With the
movement to have the bodies brought
home, were presented to the senate
by Senator Thomas, Democra-. Colo
RADIO.
Il do not know whether the charge
is true" Senator Thomas asserted,
''but it is in line with Il number Of
circumstances that developed since
close Of the war, showing there is
some sort of an organization designed
to derive profit from the plan OF. re-
turning the bodies"
About 200 parents appeared before
the house foreign affairs committee
to appeal for the return of the sol
diers' bodies. Later a resolution was
introduced by the chairman, Represen-
tative Porter, Republican, Pennsylva-
mia, to direct the president TO have
the bodies returned.

Charges of a propaganda by under
takers for the return of the bodies
form a part of the material assembled

SEEMS EVERYONE IS
ANXIOUS TO TRY It
Recent discovery of ether compound
that dries up corns so
they lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dis
pensing freezone, the ether discov-
cry of a Cincinnati man, which is
said to loosen any corn so it lifts
out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quar-
ter ounce of freezone which will
cost very little, but is said to be
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You apply just few drops on
the tender aching corn and instant
1y the soreness is relieved and soon
the corn is so slriveled it lifts out
without pain. 1t is a sticky sub
stance which dries when applied and
never infiames or even irritates the
adjoining tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore result
ing from the suicidal habit of cut
ting corns.-Afiy.
