ly everybody is protected by vaccin-
alton and there is such precaution
| and immediate isolation that the
risk Is comparatively slight. But
fifty years ago this wasn't the case
In the city OF New York in the epi-
demic of 1873 there were more
deaths from smallpox ,han from all
the disease combined in 1921. That's
a state of affairs that wasn't with
out almost superhuman effort on
the part OF educators, scientists and
medical men.
THE death rate among children
under FIVE years of age shows a de-
cline that is the most gratifying of
all the progress made that has been
in the fight for lower death rate and
better health. Thirty years ago
statistics show that in one OF the
large cities one child out of every
four born in that city died before
reaching the age of one year. Now
that same city has a lower death
rate among children under one year
than any large city in the world.
Malaria and typhoid were dread
ed scourges. These diseases were
found to be communicated by GER
, tain types. When this was discov-
cred measures were taken to do away
with the cause. Marshes were
drained. and a vigorous crusade was
waged and is now against mosquitoes
and flies People are urged to be
careful OF their drinking water and
their food and see that It is not con
taminated. Sanitation and educa-
tion were the chief factors in over
coming this disease after the cause
had been determined by scientific re-
search and exT ,riment.
Tuberculosis, commonly called
consumption" is another field
where science and education have
gone hand in hand The terror
thought of the great white plague
has lost most of its force through
a widespread effort on the part of
medical science to educate the pub
lie in the care of a new prevention
Of this disease.
"In many cities health week is
celebrated and lectures.ffi clinics and
moving pictures are all used to en-
courage and educate the people in
the right way to live and the right
way to bring up their children.
That old adage about the ounce Of
being worth a pound of
cure is appreciated by the present
generation and the physician and
dentist are no longer looked upon as
people to be avoided except in cases
If extreme suffering but are a part
u the routine of life and are con-
suited at regular periods even II
here is no apparent reason. A

Of quietly ending the affair which al
ready has greatly disturbed the Sen
ator and his wife.
At the British embassy, II was
stated that no steps in the affalr
were In contemplation at present al
though 1t is understood the embassy
last week. directed the consul-gen-
eral at Boston TO make an investiga-
tion of Robertson's charges. No re-
quest of any kind has yet been made
to the State Department by the en-
bassy.
It was also rumored thct Robert
son would come here tomorrow TO
discuss the affair with the embassy
but there was no confirmation OF
this report.
Back OF the unusual love AFFAIR,
according to friends OF the Culber-
sons, is the strong feeling of the
Senator and his wife that their
daughter who is 21. is too young to
marry, and that they desire her TO
marry an American.
Robertson and the Senator's
daughter fell in love while both were
students at the University OF Texas
a short time ago.
Their romance budded rapidly
Miss Culberson came to Washing
ton, and Robertson is said to have
gone to Syracuse. N. Y.
When he came here a short time
ago to visit Miss Culperson, the pa
rents are sad to have learned for
the first time that the young people
were engaged.
This came as such a surprise to
the parents that they Immediately
objected. The matter was turned
,ver TO Jurney. the Senator's secre-
-ary, and II is said that he has been
to break off the engage
nent, or at least bring about a post
,onement of the marriage.
Then, according to one report, the
British veteran agreed to leave the
country and go to South America
COR some reason he did not go as !
Don as was expected and Mrs. Gull |
Ierson, according to information |
lere, employed a private detective
o trail him and investigate his
movements.
Robertson alleges that the private
detective and his assistants sought
o force him TO leave the country :
nd that this caused him to prefer
harges against the sleuth. Miss
'ulberson, apparently before the ar
est, had urged her lover to take no
ction that would bring on notoriety
n the affair and this pledge is un-
erstood to be responsible for the
Mysterious secrecy surrounding the
ase.
