Feature Picture
at Black Hawk
Theatre Tomorrow

Many of the scenes which play a
most important part in the great
Nazimova production, "Out Of the
Fog" which will appear at the
Black Hawk theatre on Sunday. for
q weeks engagement, were made
at q we'll known lighthouse on the
coast of Maine. Permission for this
unusual privilege was granted by
the government-a representative
of the Nazimova Production COM
pany having gone on q special trip
to Washington for this purpose.
"Out of the Fog" is = tremendous
drama of the sea and gives Nazi-
nova two distinct roles which pro-
vide every opportunity for her var
led and intense powers. Some Of
the scenes depict the lighthouse as
it stands on the rock-bound New
England coast-a lonely object on
this desolate spot-lashed and buf-
feted by the storm-tossed waves.
Others are taken in the light tow
er, showing the revolving light
which is seen by ships far out to
sea, warning them Of the treacher-
Gus rocks and shoals upon which
the beacon stands. These scenes
are unusual in that 1t is seldom
that the privilege for taking pic
lures on government property is
granted.

Gen. William c. GOrgas

Maj. Gen. William c. Gorgas, who
died in London Sunday, made a great
contribution TO mankind while he was
Chief Surgeon of the United States
Army. 1t was unGer his direction that
experiments were made which revealed
the fact that yellow fever is trans
mitted by certain species of
mosquito. This knowledge has saved
many thousands of lives. 1t has rem
dered Cuba almost immune from that
long dreaded disease and has made the
construction and operation of the Pan
anna Canal free from the toll of death
that region took from all. especially
Caucasians, before that scientific dis
covery was made. Like knowledge
that malaria is carried By another kind
Of mosquito and that mosquitoes breed
in stagnant or still water enabled
Gorgas, by cleaning up the Canal Zone
and screening the houses in which the
workers lived. to reduce the death rate
along the canal to minimum. II has
likewise saved thousands of lives in
this and other countries where malaria
formerly prevailed and where yellow
fever made its inroads every few
years. Not little of the credit which
was given to Gen. Goethals for sue
cess in building the canal after the
French engineers had made such con-
spicuous failures was due to the work
of Gen. Gorgas in making the zone
habitable for the workers. Perhaps it
could not have been accomplished
otherwise, certainly not without great
loss of life, not only among the physi-
cal workers, but the engineers and
executive staff-Globe Democrat.
No man has ever stood higher in
the medical profession throughout the
world than Gen. Gorgas, and since his
retirement as surgeon general of the
army he has been constantly at work
in the devasted areas of Europe allay-
ing the plaques that follow in the
wake of wars horrors. All foreign
governments recognized his superior
ity in this line and his great achieve
ments and he was employed in this line
of work when he was called himself.
Gen. Gorgas was brother-in-law Of
Judge J. X. Doughty of Lamar, who
with Mrs. Doughty is now visiting rel
atives in the east.

and are perhaps accounted for largely
by the fact that county assessors have
had better opportunities for obtain
ing complete reports this year than
they did in 1919. Present indications

close to 5000 greater than for last

Democratic National Convention After
Long Struggle NOminates Cox
and Roosevelt as Its Victims

The assemblage of Wilson office
last Monday week ago to hold
democratic national convention in
name kept strictly-almost literally
to Wilson program during the early
work of the meeting, because, as they
said what does a little thing like plat
forms mean among gentlemen. So
they gave the president what he want
ed in the line of endorsement and plat
form, kicked Senators Reed and Hard
wick out Of the convention to please
him, but when it came TO nominating
a ticket-that was different question.
They were all holding fat offices, and
in love with their regular pay envel-
opes, so they looked around for a man
they thought might be winner. They
realized no one with even a hint of
Wisconsin could get the votes Of the
American people, so they balloted for
forty-three ballots to wear out the
Wilson delegates who were supporting
son-in-law McAdoo, and then nominat-
ed Governor Cox Of Ohio, who was
the only candidate in the field without
the support of a cabinet officer right
on the ground. They adjourned over
night and then threw out a little sop
TO the administration by nominating
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Franklin Roosevelt for vice-president.
The ticket like the platform is a
makeshift. II doesn't fit together and
doesn't fit the platform. 1t shows on
the face that it is a despairing effort
Of the officeholders who hate to give
up spending the peoples money at a
ten times faster clip than it was ever
spent before. The combination will
not carry one state outside the solid
south and not all of that.
