R0TAR|ANS HEAR A
SPLENDID TALK ON
IMPORTANCE Of HEALTH

strong, virile nation can only be
made so by strong. virlle men and
women, was the message DIR. Il. l..
Davidson, pastor of the Broadway
Baptist church, gave to members OF
the Rotary club today at the regu-
lar noon luncheon session at the
Chamber OF Commerce on the subjects
of Public Health
Health is very important thing"
the speaker said, I'VE haven't given
enough attention to it, when 1t con-
Germs people. We devote much time
and money TO preventing disease in
hogs and cattle, and we pass laws
quarantining diseased cattle but we
devote much less time and money
TO the prevention OF diseases to hu-
mans. In fact there Is very little in
the preventative work being done in
American today. We have splendid
doctors, but we do not call upon them
until the crisis is approached.
What we need is that time and
that money spent on preventing and
upon preventing the spreading dis
eases.
mo matter how intellectual you
are, or how much will power you pos
sess or how much money il you have
weak bodies, you are handicapped.
No man OF woman can succeed in life
where they are weakened by disease"
DR.. Davidson then urged that a
campaign for prevention OF diseases
be launched. Health is the prime me-
cessity to prosperity Of any land.
Let's not enter the fight merely from
the religious or moral standpoint, but
from the business standpoint. A ma
ton cannot succeed where its men
and women are not successful.
Special stress was placed on the
disastrous results Of social diseases.
Il would have legislation passed re-
quiring that physicians and druggists
register and quarantine every case OF
social disease" the speaker stated.
'fand where we quarantine for small
pox, scarlet fever ana other diseases
| say to you that social diseases are
the most feared and the ones that do
the most damage"
DR.. Davidson referred to the splen-
did and heroic fight the Red Cross
is making against the white plague
and urged all to cooperate and assist
the organization.
c. w. Richards followed DR.. Dav-
idson and related a concrete example
OF tests applied TO children in the
high schools which showed that the
30 highest ranking children in grades
showed a decidedly higher per cent
physical condition.
Among the guests today were e. Fl
Roger, H. F. Henley Of the American
Cities Bureau. DR.. A. G. Cowles, Judge
Barrett of Hugo, Judge T. W. Cham
pion and Ward Merrick. Brief talks
were made by Judge Barrett and w. F
Lindsay the latter having recently
returned from a western trip.
Announcement was made Of the re-
turn Of Rotary Ann" Miss Anr
Thompson. who is expected to arrive
in Ardmore Monday Of next weel
and who will be presented to Ardmor'
people by the Rotary Club On Tues
day night at Convention Hall.
Resolutions were adopted endorslni
the proposed plans OF the American
Legion on the building OF the Me
mortal hospital.

A one scans the list of stage
~ celebrities included in the
n cast of the new Belasco play
which will make it's first ap-
pearance in Washington next week
the feeling comes instinctively that
treat is in store for local play pa
irons. Call the Doctor is its name
and Jean Archibald is it's author. The
advance notices describe the play as
a comedy along novel and original
lines and one that. treats of pecu-
liarly interesting subject" Mr.. Betas-
co never permits the story 10 he told
IN advance of the performance. but
such is the faith of the public in the
great producer that his plays never
suffer for want of an audience. Jean
Archi bald is not yet listed among the
playwrights who have won fame. But
the scarcity of print paper puts no
limit to that list and ii may be Miss
Archibald has excellent reason TO
hope. For several years she has been
an unobtrusive attache of the Belasco
Offices in New York. That of itself be-
speaks merit of some kind. The fact
that Mr.. BelaSco. himself. has made
the production and that he has equips
ped it with essentials that require two
railway cars for its transportation
has a more significant meaning.
David Belasco has few failures in his
long career to rise up and taunt him.
His devotion to the memory of
daughter who is no more may have
made his work in bringing into notice
the modest but gifted young woman
attached to his offices the manifesto
ton of a sentiment not difficult to
appreciate He has a way of doing
such things.
