SOCIETY GIRL LIVES
ON LEPER ISLAND
GAVE UP CAREER FOR LOVE
OF MAN. SPENT HONEYMOON
ON ISLAND OF DEATH.

Eight years ago a beautiful New
Orleans girl, already launched on a
literary career under the name of
Dorothy Paul." became the bride OF
a famous minister, DR. H. Winsor
Wade. Since that time she has been
a companion of parlah people SEN
fenced to the living death"
An eminent leprologist, DR.. Wade
had consecrated his life to the most de-
spised and horrible OF human crea-
tures-the lepers. Knowing this, his
pretty bride never finched, but made
his career her own.
1t was when Gen. Leonard Wood
was appointed governor Of the Philip
pines that Dr.s and Mrs Wade were
sent to Culion, the largest leper colo
ny on earth.
Island a Beauty Spot.
Exiled from the world; stranded on
a worse than desert island In daily
association with the most hideous and
repellant disease with which the hui
man race has ever been cursed! Such
was the fate TO which this woman
consigned herself, heart and soul.
But the island Of Culion, according
to Mrs. Wade, is one of the most
beautiful spots in the world; luxuriant
in tropical growth, colorful and quiet
Besides the 5000 or so lepers the
only other residents of the island are
II physicians, 2 research workers, 81
nurses and IA French nuns. The lep-
ers govern their own island, having
a regular police department, fire de-
partment, theater and a concert hall
Many Are Incurable.
Many of these afflicted people are
incurable. But, according to the report
on the work during the last three
years, the studies of such scientists as
DR.. Wade have produced the most en-
couraging results.
Mrs. Wade does not act in the ca
pacity of nurse, but is engaged sole
ly in keeping house for her husband.

WITHOUT A COUNTRY;
KEPT ABOARD SHIP
MAN PROMISES TO BE A PER
MANENT PASSENGER. SHUT
TIED BACK AND FORTH.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Shuttling
back and forth between England and
America for several round trips Sam
Dashersky, who is SO and claims to
be a Russian but cannot prove it, for
a time bids fair to become a perma-
nent passenger of the Atlantic.
His story is that he lived here for
a while, decided to return to Russia
and slowed away on the Adriatic.
That was in April. The British sent
him back to America on the Celtic,
as he had no papers showing claims
on Russia and no American naturaliza-
ton documents.
Can't Land Anywhere.
At Ellis Island he couldn't show
he had been here before, so back he
went to England on the Baltic. At
Liverpool he was hailed, returning on
the same ship.
Then Ellis Island called halt.
Pending a department of labor ruling
Sam was impounded in the brig OF
the Lapland and when she sailed he
was moved over to the Celtic again.
So instead of committing between
ports the man without country will
move from ship to ship of the Inter
national Mercantile lines until Wash
ington reaches a decision on his stat
us, if any.

SICK CITIES ARE
DOCTORED BY WOMAN
HAS FOLLOWED ODD VOCA-
TON QUARTER OF CENTURY.
SIXTY-TWO TRIUMPHS.

Doctoring sick cities. That is the
lob of DR.. Caroline B. Crane, native
OF Kalamazoo, Mich, and woman
of nationwide fame. For more than
rs years-since she left her pulpit in
the Peoples church, in Kalamazoo
DR.. Crane has been conducting clinics
in sick cities. AS a result she IS ma
tonally known as municipal expert
Dwells on Sanitation.
DR.. Crane dwells chiefly on santa
ton. and many is the city better today
for following her advice. Sixty-tWo
cities and towns have prohted thereby.
But making cities more sanitary is
not DR.. Cranes only speciality. She
has pills, too, for loan and investment
sharks who prey upon citizens OF mod
est means but much ambition. She
tells them how to get money to build
homes without paying blood money
to the rich men. DR.. Crane also has a
reputation as city planner ana
builder OF model homes.
Here is the effective method by
which DR.. Crane works.
A sick city opens its mouth and lets
DR.. Crane, herald OF health, peer down
its throat. Perhaps it is merely suffer
ing from an aggravated case OF com
munitv coma, as most OF the patients
do. $50.
IF so. DR.. Crane prods the sleeper
from the platform with few OF her
spithre speeches, hands out some
health lunches, makes pointed re-
marks about the hideous housekeeP,-
ing which the city has tolerated, and
when those hardest hit are nearly I
mad enough to assassinate her on the
wav to the railroad station, she bids
everybody CHEEKY farewell and de-
darts to stir up another civic cesspooL

nish soda water, ginger ale and ice to
their patrons for the making OF drinks

This thing of having sets" OF
manners for different kinds and
classes of fellow human beings, Is
ridiculous. The portly matron who
gazes coldIy at her interiors through
a lorgnette is out of date, as is the
young woman who fawns over her
betters. There IS a decided interest
these days in social behavior and
manners. Apparently everyone
wants to handle his knife and fork
Just as every enc else does, and
make his introductions according to
a pattern. and scorns those whose
manners diverSe at all.
Manners and etiquette were IN
vented to lessen confusion, not add
to it. Most manners show trend to-
wards simplicity and ease. They are
for convenience, and it is foolish to
get so worked up over trifles. Awk-
wardness is the only inexcusaole
thing about etiquette. One can even
be graceful about a faux pas.
