SMALLPOX CLAIMS 200
RESIDENTS OF DENVER

Springfield. Ill. Dec. li.-An cpl
demic Of smallpox in Denver has
taken toll Of 200 lives in the past
few months. Nearly every person in
the city has hesn yaccinated recently
as a result Of. a compulsory vaccina-
ton order. How does this western
epidemic affect Illinois? The Bullet
in Chicago school of Sanitary In
struction answers the question:
"A few weeks ago healthy. Wig.
orous and prosperous business men,
residing in Oak Park, our nearest
suburb on the west, was called TO
Denver, Col, on a business trip. He
was, as stated, in splendid physical
health, in the prime of his manhood
and in every way equipped for long
and successful life. But he neglect
ed one most important matter; in all
his life he had never thought it
worth while to protect himself by
being yaccinated against smallpox.
Somewhere in his travels he was ex-
posed to this loathsome disease and
was taken i'll in Denver with small
pox Of the hemorrhagic type and died
on the morning Of Nov. G. To put it
plainly, he was a victim OF disease
which he need never have had"
Smallpox is increasing in this state.
A few weeks ago large number OF
people were exposed to the disease
while attending a funeral at Rock
Falls. Every school child. and hun
dreds OF adults, in Rock Falls and
Sterling have been vaccinated In

washington. Dee. H. Secretary
OF Commerce Hoover. in his annual
reuort 10 President Harding. which
was made public today urged more
liberal credits for American farmers
and relief for them through ieadJust'
ment Of railway rates, ~ between

lie recommends also correction OF
over.expansion in the coal industry
and the development OF Transports
ton equipment reserve to meet the
peak periods Of crops and commodity

Secretary Hoover suggested a pos
sihlc liberalization of the restraint OF
trade laws. 10 clear away some OF
tho uncertainty surrounding these
activities and to make for q con
structiyc distinction between collec-
tive action which is used as a CLOAK
for conspiracy against the public vel

iectives are the elimination OF waste
the increase of technical know /

many other beneficial functions.
The report points out that the va

OF 1917 per cent, or S3.250 600, OF the

Concerning the coal strike, the re-
mort cites action by the department
in obtaining the following results
THE country entered the strike
with the largest stocks OF coal on
hand ever known. owing to depart
mental surveys and a general cam
paign to increase supplies prior to
the strike. These stocks allowed
commerce and industry TO be main
tained during the longest strike IN
on. history
I'm the absence of any legisla'
ton. Voluntary agreements were en-
tered into with producing operators
whereby the average price OF spot
coal for the entire period OF the strike
was held at 1870 a ton, as compar
ed with $500 in 1920. when produc
zion was three times as great.

CROWDS TO ATTEND
LITTLE THEATRE PLAYS

Much interest is being manifested
by society and the pubic in the two
one-act plays being presented by the
Birmingham Drama League, at the
jefferson theatre Wednesday night
at S.15 O'Clock. The entire cast g
composed of local people and excel
lent work is being done by the
coach, Mrs +. Walter Anderson. 1t
was indeed fortunate that the ANA
teur committee found this capable
source Of assistance, for repeated ef4
forts had been made to bring to this
city a professional coach to direct
these plays. Being unable to secure
one at this time, an investigation was
made and 1t was found that Mrs.
Anderson was not only professional
dramatic director, but had had quite
a lot of experience with this work
in Chicago
Fer some time Mrs, Anderson was
director of the Department of
Dramatic Art at Columbia Conserva-
tory and graduate of Columbia Con-
servatory of Music and Dramatic
Art.
