Bulgaria Needs
Railroad Shops

Sofia, Jan. 31.-Christo Manoloff
Bulgarian Minister of Railways, is
anxious to have American locomotive
manufacturers and railroad supply
houses look into the possibilities Of
business in Bulgaria.
He says that one of the greatest
present needs in Bulgaria is a plant
for the construction and repair Of To-
comotives and freight cars. He has
on hand nearly 100 locomotives and
several thousand freight cars await
ing repairs and the country has no
facilities for this purpose.
although our country is going
through period of great financial
and economic STRESS" said M. Mano-
loft, 1--WE are preparing actively for
the extension and reconstruction of
our railways. We would like to have
the help of your resourceful and ex
perienced American railway men and
contractors in this direction.
1--WE are, planning the,
of more than 500 miles of new rail
roads in which we will need foreign
technical skill and capital. Ameri-
cans will have the preference because
think they lead the world in these
two requirements"

Death Rate of Babies
Throughout the World

London, Jan. 31.-A surprising dis
parity in the death rate of babies
throughout the world is shown in the
latest figures issued by the registrar
general. 10.
During the third quarter of the
year just ended, Christiana, the cap
ital of Norway, was the healthiest
city, reported the infantle death rate
per 1000 being only 33, while Am
sterdam, Holland, had rate Of az;
Stockholm, Sweden, AZ; and Copen-
hagen, Denmark, 48.
Compared with these, Londons
rate of 93 appears high; but Wigan
an important industrial town in Ian.
cashire, has rate of 125, and Berlin
146.
No town in Europe has such rec
ord as Bombay, India, where, accord
ing to official figures, $50 babies out
of every 1000 die before they reach
the age of 12 months.

Counter Charges Against
Stevens and Col. Springs

Lancaster, Jan. 30.-That Leroy
Springs and John Stephens wilfully
sold goods below their market value
and in other ways destroyed assets in
order to injure the Lancaster Mer-
camille company, and other serious
charges are made by Chas. D. Jones,
of Lancaster, in his answer to the
suit of the Catawba Fertilizer Co.,
against the mercantile company, in
which Mr.. Jones is party defendant.
Mr.. Jones was arrested some weeks
ago and charges made against him,
alleging shortages in the affairs Of
the mercantile company, OF which
he was manager. In his reply Mr..
Jones charges the failure of Messrs.
Springs and Stevens to; account for
| various of the mercantile
company.
The fuss between Mr.. Jones and
Messrs. Springs and Stevens has the
town of Lancaster split into two fac
tions. Mr.. Jones was manager of the
| big store from 1917 to last July, at
which time, Mr.. Jones alleges in his
reply, he was deposed.
Among the charges made by Mr..
Jones in retaliation of the charges
made against him are the following:
That the suit against the mercan-
tile company was instituted through
spite" and fraud" to wreck the
Lancaster Mercantile Co.
That the books of the company
We're fraudulently audited, it's sol
vency being concealed.
That the suit is "willful and de-
liberate proceeding under the guisa
and protection of this court, to obtain
caster Mercantile Co., for less than
they are really worth" and to elimin-
ate Mr.. Jones "as a business COM
petitor."
That the two defendants, Messrs.
Springs and Stevens. sold goods be-
low market values, honored illegal
claims, refused to pay just obliga-
tions against the company, and in
other ways wasted the assets of the
company.
Failure TO pay for cotton sold to
Chester mill largely controlled by
Mr. Springs.
That Mr.. Springs sold to the mill
in Lancaster in which he has an in.
terest cotton belonging to the Mer-
camille company at IL 1-2 cents
pound, causing the company to sus-
tain heavy loss.
That Mr. Springs "did illegally and
wrongfully keep and convert to his
own personal use," the sum of $780,
600 profits on the sale of 1000 bales
of cotton bought for the Mercantile
Company in New York and sold at
profit.
That certain other property of the
mercantile company has been con-
verted to Mr.. Springs personal use.

Less Than Halt. of
Swedish Women Vote

Stockholm, Jan. .3L--Less than
half of the women of Sweden entitled
to vote extreised their newly-won
franchise rights at the polls in the
elections of 1921, the first year of full
suffrage for women, according to a
report of the Swedish Central Bu-
reau of Statistics just made public
However, the official report of the
1921 elections give the suffragist
leaders at least two causes for re-
joicing.
The men did not show a much bet
ter record than the women, and the
number of women voters exceeded
the male voters in the capital OF
Stockholm by more than 5000 voters
The official report shows that All
percent of the Swedish women voters
cast their ballot while 61.9 percent
of the men voted. The total women's
vote in the city of Stockholm was
1856, while the vote east by men
was 7L19S.
The general impression throughout
the country seems TO be that the
Swedish women have not fully real
lied the Importance and significance
of their new privilege. 1t is believed
that in the future they will make a
better showing. at the polls.
The heavy women's vote in Stock
holm, which is to a large extent an
industrial city, may indicate that the
working women, especially women
trade union members, araaped the
opportunity to register their votes.
However, other women cannot be
said to have neglected the ballot as
a whole.

who are in any way below par had

1t would be well if each county could
provide sanatorium for tuberculosis
cases, a visiting, nurse for those cur
ing at home, and an open-air school
for tuberculosis children, but un-
til such is established certainly num-
Der of counties could form a league, be
given state and county appropriations
and thus provide for the operation of
an institution for such individuals who
could not afford the higher rate of a
private sanatorium, located perhaps in
some distant state. What would your
county do if asked to take part in such
league?
Summary.
If you feel that you have a fair
number of the early symptoms of tu-
berculosis lose no time but consult a
physician at once.
IF told you have the disease by any
of it's pet names, "Spot on your
lungs" "The Old Dog", "Consump.
ton" or any other, buck up, smile and
put UP game fight. You can win
if you try and try hard enough.
If you have no county health de-
partment, no visiting nurse and no tu-
berculosis organizations, urge your
legislators to make efforts to get
them.
If you have these organizations or
any others that strive to improve your
county, lend them your support.

Tells of Prehistoric
Past of Animals

Los Angeles, Feb. 1.-The prehis.
teric past of the fox, deer and ante.
lope offer a@field fer fertile research
as a result Of finds in the famous Il
Brea pits, a tomb of half a million
years, DR.. E. E. Hadley, local paleon.
tologist told members of the South
ern California Academy of Sciences
He reviewed the past of a million ,ol
more years in which the movements
of the elephant or mastadon, the
three toed horse or Miohippus, the
camel or camelops, the sabre-totheo
tiger or smilodon, and the sloth fam
lily were traced beyond the pleisto.
Gene age into the pliocene, miocene
oligocene and eocene periods of the
tertiary era.
While the horse, camel and Gle
phant of today remain they are very
small compared to their ancestors
who were apparently wiped out by
the last glacial period when the great
ice fields of the north swept dowr
over a California that was not sc
sunny, and these prehistoric gian
mammals with the giant ground
sloth became extince in this freezing
spell of 100000 years ago, said DR.
Hadley.
But, back in the eocene period a
million or more years before, just af-
ter the conclusion of the mesozoic
age, there were no giant animals, and
the great ground sloth of the pleisto-
Gene age was just little. armadillo
such as now exists in South America
he said. The Imperial elephant more
than twice the size of any existing
today, also came from a little ami
NAL that probably was no larger than
our horse or pony of today.
The sabre-toothed tiger, several
specimens of which were found in La
Brea, was the most ferocious animal
in the world about a half a million
years ago, DR.. Hadley said.
While these facts have been ascer-
tanned by paleontologists there is yet
much to be discovered about the pre-
historic life and peregrinations of
the American fox, antelope, deer and
bear. 1t is doubtful whether the LA
Brea pits will contribute any more,
or reveal anything beyond the pleis-
tocene age, DR.. Hadley said, although
they have revealed more and preserv-
ed for the world larger variety of
pre-glacial period relies of mammalia
than any other spot in the world yet
uncovered.
There has been much discussion of
the human skull found in the La
Brea pits, DR.. Hadley said, but noted
authorities have contended that it is
only ten thousand years of age, and
does not date back with the slotn
and saber-toothed tiger, but a tree
has been found in the pits, cypress,
which is believed to have grown more
than a quarter of million years
ago.

animals had been traced beyond the

the mesozoic, carbonic, devonian, ST.

Tuberculosis;> What Should
We do About it and With it?


Few diseases there are which to the
average person cause greater fear or
despair than tuberculosis, and to be
told that one is a victim Of tubercu-
losis usually means that this individ-
ual at once becomes extremely sensi-
tive of his condition and considers
himself doomed to a shortened, uncer-
tain and torturing existence, ostra-
cized by society, burden TO his fam
lily and a.menace to his friends, with
but one and inevitable outcome, death;
to look forward to.
Such thoughts however should new
er exist for tuberculosis encountered
in its earlier stages can in a large ma
jority of cases be arrested and even
many of the far advanced cases, par
ticularly if one lung only be involved,
can be sufficiently arrested as to allow
the individual to live useful and
happy life, limited only to common
sense, healthful routine and restricted
from doing heavy labor.
There has been no new discovery to
prompt these statements, nor are we
Offering anything original, great or
startling. 1t is simply the sanatorium
treatment, fresh air, good food, sun
light, graduated exercise when indi-
Gated, and artificial pneumothorax in
telligently applied by a physician
trained in tuberculosis work, support
ed always by the heartiest cooperation
of the patient himself.
The Importance of diagnosing tu-
berculosis very early in it's course cam
not be overestimated, for an early
knowledge of the condition not only
materially increases the patients
chances for permanent arrest of the
disease, but if he be properly instruct
ed he will live without spreading the
disease to those with whom he may
come in contact and need not be alb
horred by society
1t is now generally believed by the
tuberculosis specialists that approxi-
mately 95 per cent of all persons are
at some age in life infected with tu-
bercle bacillus, and by far the most
Of these infections take place before
adult life is reached. Not all Of this
large percentage develop active tuber-
culosis, it being necessary for some
additional weakening influence to
bring oNt the activity. However,
should this added influence bring
about activity during childhood, the
tuberculosis would run more rapid
and more fatal course.
There are many diseases and con-
ditions which may be cleansed as as
sistants to the germ of tuberculosis
in its deadly work, but the more i'm
portant of these are colds, influenza,
measles, scarlet fever and whooping
cough, and such conditions that favor
the development and spread of these
diseases as insufficient and improper
clothing and food, poor hygienic sur
roundings, poor ventilation and lack
of proper quarantine.
When one notices a lack of the
usual pep and vigor, feels more or.
less tired rather often, develops a
slight cough or regular clearing of
the throat in the mornings, colds that
persist, appetite below par, and per-
haps sleeplessness, with or without

The fascination OF the theatrical
life is strongly present in William

today
The story. written by Mr.. Cabanne
himself. has TO do with the adven-
lures OF a girl who leaves her OBJ
scure little New York State town
because her pretty sister wins her
beau and then goes 10 the metropo-
lis and joins the chorus OF a musi-
cal comedy. It Is a faithful picture
OF theatre life with occasional
glimpses behind the curtain--and
rich in the atmosphere OF tho theatre
that motion picture audiences love
go well.
Mr. Cabanne has the happy fac
ulty OF casting the right types for
the right parts and he exercises q to
the fullest in AT the stage Door"
For example. Billie Dove. one Of the
most beautiful young women on the
New York stage. has the part OF the
lgrl from the small town. who comes
10 the city and goes into tho chorus.
Miss Dove has for a number OF years
Ibeen associated with the ziegfield
