EXPERT COMPLIMENTS
 GIRLS OF THE SOUTH
By Associated Press

New Orleans, January 13. = The modern girl is not quite as much of a "flapper" in the south as she is in other sections of the country. pr. Va leria H. Parker of Washington, con nected with the United States inter departmental social and hygiene board, said today in addressing a ses- sion of the New Orleans public health institute.
 pr. Parker stated she based her opinions on the southern girl upon statistics collected by representatives of her department. She asserted that of 10000 cases of girl delinquents in- vestigated by the department recent ly, the southern girl made the best showing.
 Girls of Difie wear longer skirts. drink less liquor smoke fewer cig- arettes and hold fewer betting parties" Dr. Parker said.

 Before I could answer Gloria thrust her cape toward me, saying: "Oh. turn mine inside out It will look all right and I don't need it in this scene"
 Here, get your coat and hat" Tom Warner said to a good looking boy who was standing near. But when the boy brought them he shouted: Your hat won't do at all. Who's got a silk hat?" Three or four were thrust toward him.
 Here. take these. You two come in this door. You with your overcoat over your arm and your hat in your left hand; and you. Miss. with your cape on. You escort her to this door where she leaves her cape. Then you leave her and walk across the set to this door. go through quickly and re- turn without your coat and hat.

ing any score to the All-Stars. They
faced the New Orleans pitcher, but
were unable to hit. The second inn
ing ended with a one-to-nothing score
against the college lads. It remain
ed thus until the fourth when L.

This made it a tie.
Again the All-Stars took the lead
in the sixth when Ed. Grox~ singled
and stole second, being followed by
Nonguesser, who put one over third.

mlted in homes where chicken pox
measles or other communicable dis
ease is present. The Epidemiologist
of the State Board Of Health tells
how the two diseases mentioned were
the starting point at social gather
ings of wide spread epidemics At
a birthday party that he attended, a
young sister of the hostess had
measles at the time, and the day
after the party the hostess herself
developed the measles. They had
fourteen guests, eleven OF whom had
not had measles. Nine Of the eleven
developed measles, and that was the
starting point OF an epidemic or sey~
eral hundred cases.
During the parish-Wide prevalence
of influenza few weeks ago the
lCovington Board of Health had oc-
casion through The Farmer to ex-
plain that the disease was spread
principally through droplets OF mu-
Gus expelled from the mouth and
nose of infected persons, from which
We deduct that the theoretical way
to avoid the disease is to keep away
from the sick. That timely advice
was construed as a report Of inf1u-
enza in epidemic form, and not less
than two progressive CoVington Wo-
men complained that they knew
friends who thereupon altered plans
to come to Covington, and these wo-
men requested the Board to suppress
facts relative to infectious diseases.
We cannot believe that any one
would deliberately have their friends
run into danger, but that is what
their recommendations, if followed,
would mean.
/ trust that our citizen body will
henceforth use more discretion in
matters relating to infectious dis
eases. # they fail to do SO, the
Board OF Health will be forced to
