Every branch of the theatrical

roster of the club contains
names of those highest in the
field of concert and opera and
the legitimate drama. Many of
these will act as guest stars on
the special gala bills which will
be offered at every vaudeville
house during N. v. A. week.
Governors, mayors, and other
public officials will also speak
in honor of the profession which
not only gives its life to the
task of amusing millions each
week, but which is also always
at the front when volunteers are
called upon for any benefit for

This has been the greatest

a beautiful new club house in
Chicago, there has been started
chain of branches of n. V. A.

the fact that the N. V. A. has
assumed an international i'm

UncoUering the Enemy

CCIENTIFIC circles seem to accept the
- reported discovery of the cancer germ
by the English investigator, DR.. W. L.
Gye, and his co-laborer, Barnard, the
famous London microscopic. The discov-
cry is but the first short step toward
goal at which scientific brains have aimed
ever since 'the germ theory" was first
presented.
1t is one thing to discover a particular
germ and quite another to discover how
to deal with it, Science has associated
with the tubercular germ, for instance,
for over quarter-century, and still the
dealing with it is pretty largely guess
work.
Whatever sort of germ eye and Barnard
may have discovered, and whatever their
difficulty in dealing with it, they have
started something in their peculiar use of
a combination of camera, microscope and
ultraviolet ray in hunting the cancer
germ. Human life seems to depend, very
largely upon successful warfare upon in
tangibes and invisibles. Success to the
