AFTER VACCINATION

The Herald, relying upon the best medical advice available, has advised people to be vaccinated. Another duty remains, as few or many have acted upon that advice because it was given here. That duty is to emphasize what should be done after one has been yaecinated. Ones personal physician may have further advice to give. He should be consulted. But al any rate the advice given by the superintendent of health on this matter should be given all possible emphasis in order that proper results may be obtained from vaccination without attendant evils that might come from careless ness or mistaken ideas of what is pro per.
 The following was published in the Herald yesterday. It is here reprinted for further emphasis because of an appreciation of the responsibility in- cured in advising on any health mat ter. Especial attention is called to the warning against scratching the vac cination.
 Here is the advice of Dr. Pullen, slfperintendcnt of health:
 "i-Vaccinations must not be scratched. To do so increases the danger of infections. It tends to break the skin and cause the pns- tule to discharge.
 "e-Shields should not be worn. While they appear to be a good dressing, they hold the moisture in and cause the skin under them to soften, and the pustule to in- . crease in size.
 "S-Dressipgs that are put on when the vaccination is done should be left on for the full length of time that the physician advises. This is usually about seven days.
 "4-The unbroken skin is the best protection for the yaccina- ton and should be kept intact as long as possible. In vaccination which is not scratched or rubbed the pustule does not break. "5--Aftcr the pustnle has heal ed the best possible protection for it is the scab which is formed.
 "G--A moderately sore arm with the formation Of small Jumps in the armpit should not be cause for undue alarm.
 If you do become alarmed over your vaccination, consult the physician who performed the vac cination."

u. s. TO SUBSCRIBE
TO TANG|ER PACT
Explains Acceptance Is Con-
tingent on Protection
of Rights.

The United States has informed the
governments of Great Britain, France
and Spain of it's willingness to ac-
cede, under certain conditions, to the
Tangier convention, signed at Paris
December 1S, 1928
Ihe conditions, in brief, would re-
quire a more detailed Interpretation
of certain provisions Of the conven-
t1on which are seen as affecting
American rights in the zone, a more
definite declaration of the intention
of the new administration there to
maintain an open-door policy, and an
acceptance by the joint administra-
tion of full responsibility for safe
guarding American interests.
Refuses Administrative Role.
The United States declined to par
ticipate in the actual administra ton
or the zone. 1t was the view of Of
nc1als here that the role allocated to
the United States was out of all pro-
portion to that assigned to the nego-
tiating powers.
1t was emphasized that the attitude
of the Washington government was
entirely cooperative toward the new
project and that it would bend every
effort to avoid placing obstacles in
the way
The Tangier convention provides
for the abrogation of extraterritoriaI
rights of foreign nations in the Tan
gier zone, and the substitution of a
joint administrative authority. Rati-
ncation on the part Of the three sig
natory governments was completed
May "a, 1924, and five days later the
United States was requested to in
form the signatories as to its attitude
regarding the proposal.

MOVIE REVEALS BOUNTY
OF VALLEY OF AMAZON
95 Per Cent of Land Covered With
Productive ForeStS-Giant
Cowfish Shown.

What is declared to be the most
complete motion picture ever shown
of the great Amazon Valley was yes
terday afternoon witnessed by de-
partment officials in Washington,
members of the South American dip
lomatic corps and their friends in the
auditorium of the Department of the
Interior The showing was under the
auspices of the Pan-American Union
and the Department of Commerce. The
picture was acquired by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Department
of Commerce investigators during
their recent trip to determine rubber
growing possibilities of South
America.
DR.. William Lytle Schurz, who was
in charge of the South American ex-
pedition, explained parts of the pic
ture as they were shown. At the out
tse, he said that about per cent of
the Amazon Valley is swamp and the
remainder of it is oVergroWn with
productive forests.
Not least among the industries
shown was fishing. The quest for
cowfish, which is about the size of a
man, furnished about the most inter-
esting feature.
The natives OF this great country,
it was said have. from climbing trees,
fishing and performing hard labor
with their hands, developed huge
muscles, and, indeed, most any OF
them might we'll serve as sculptor's
model for a statue entitled Strength"
Added to the picturesqueness and
grandeur of the great valley shown
in the picture were crocodiles. allie
gators, anteaters, sloths, birds and
flowers.
Many members of the scientific staff
of the National Museum, the Depart
ment of Commerce, the Pan-American
Union, naval intelligence service and
others were present. Members of the
Brazilian and other South American
diplomatic corps were present as spe-
cially invited guests.

JAPANESE LIFT BOYCOTT
UPON AMERICAN FILMS
Public Demand for Pictures From
q. S. Forces Toxic Theaters
to Change Policy.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 12.-Four distributing
and producing companies which en-
sineered the boycott of American
films, allegedly as a protest against
the American exclusion act, have cam
celed their boycott agreement, which
had become practically imperative.
because of the public demand for
American pictures. In an advertise
ment in the leading newspapers the
companies say:
I'm view of the public demand that
some American films be shown and
the governments warning that the
boycott would produce undesirable
impressions abroad, the boycott
agreement has been abandoned, al
though we adhere to the fundamental
purpose of that agreement, which is
to encourage homemade films
The boycott has peen a complete
failure, houses refusing to show
American films suffering heavy losses
of patronage.
