KEEP SMALLPOX OUT
 OF ARKANSAS.' PLAN
State Officers Will Confer With OkJ,. homa Authority on Threaten.
 ing Epidemic.

Little Rock, Jan. G.-Announcement Was made by the state health depart ment today that Dr. C. W. Garrison state health officer for Oklahoma, will hold conference in Fort Smith Fri day to consider regulations to pre- vent the spread of smallpox in Ar kansas.
 A smallpox epidemic is s i'd to be rapidly spreading in Oklahoma towns bordering Arkansas.
 Dr. Garrison's plan is to issaa reg iulations requiring all applicants for passenger transp portation into Arkan- sas from known infested areas to have certificates of vaccination.
 Dr, Thames, head of the Little Rock health department, issued statement relative to the smallpox situation. say ing, in part:
 Prom reports, it appears that there has been considerable smallpox in Kansas. and now it is beginning to increase in Oklahoma It also ap- pears that the smallpox they are having this season is the continent i type and some deaths resulting there from.
 "In certain sections of this country several years ago, in order to pacify l the general public who were opposed to vaccination against smallpox. with out any sensible reason, the authori- ties attempted to control that terrible disease by quarantine. From the rec ords kept, there isn't single instance where quarantine against smallpox has been of any benefit in suppressing or preventing the spread of the dis ease. On the other hand, it has caused untold trouble and unestimated unnecessary expense and inconveni- i enca wherever it has been tried.
 Prom the presence of the scared faces and the records in the health office, Little Rock in the past has had i it's share of smallpox. At the same time my observation proves that there are quite number in Little Rock un- protected. It is my earnest desire that the citizens of Little Rock show ] by their action that they have suff- cient confidence in the instruction of health authorities not to have any more smallpox. For that reason I am recommending that all corporations and utility companies insist upon all their employees being successfully vac cinated, and while it is a school reg ulation that every child should be vaccinated a@ainst smallpox before entering school, which rule is most .re)giously carried out. I most earn estlv recommend that every parent protect their child aoainst smarroy by h4ving it successfully vaccinatod during the first year of its life.
 "It is just as impossible, even though the quarantine should be fool ishly declared, to prevent a case of smallpox from coming into the city of Little Rock as it would be to at tempt to prevent birds from flying over our head. At the same time il is just as easy to prevent a single person from contracting the disease in the city of Little Rock as it is to prevent those same birds from build ing a nest in your hair"

 BUILDING IN MAIN ST.
Fire Dept. Called Out at NoOn-Police Hear of
 Suspicious Conditions

The timely discovery of blaze in some mattresses and trunks in an at tic room of the block at PIP Main street shortly after noon today by Mrs. Mary l. Danberg averted serious fire in the opinion of Deputy Chief E. F.. Barnes.
 Mrs. Danberg. while working about her house, smelled smoke, and on looking in the unoccupied quarters, she saw the flames. Word was i'm mediately sent to the fire headquarters and Engine Companies Nos. 1 and 7 and the Ladder Company of No. ? responded. The blaze was quickly extinguished without spreading to the building. The loss will amount to only about $50.
 There are some suspicious clrcum- stances in connection with the fire, and as result the facts have been turned over to the police.
 From the appearances, someone was probably rummaging through the trunks, prior to the discovery of the fire. When Mrs. Danberg returned to her apartment, she found that one of the doors had been broken in but there was no other traces of anything out of the ordinary.
