It's preventive value is shown
by the fact that this extensive i'm
munization of the children. only a
part of the juvenile population,
was followed by 5000 fewer cases
of diphtheria than for the previous
year.
In communities in which IS per
cent OF the children were sub

diphtheria that did occur was
chiefly among adults, none of
whom had been thus lmmunizcd.
The results obtained in the
pediatric service at Cincinnati bear
out these claims.
AS the case now stands, the oc.

very serious questions of mora

She was just turning to go
back into the building, when the
distant purr of an automobile
broke the stiffness. It came
nearer and nearer.
Then headlights came flashing
around the corner and on up the
street toward her.
Mrs Huntley had just time
enough to run up the stairs to
the bay window of the sitting
room, pushed back the curtains
and looked out.
The car was at the curbstone,
but it was empty. Beside 1t
stood two people, locked in each

to be one figure as they stood
there.
Up went the window with a
sweep and bang.

PROBLEM OF
CURTAINS

A LMOST every home requires
"A curtains Of some sort in most
of its rooms. either to insure pri-
vacy, to modify the light, or to
add to the decorative effect. The
cost of curtains is one of the
leading items in the outlay for
household textiles. Even a five
room house having a total of
only a dozen windows will need
about so yards of material il
curtained completely. The ex-
pense for curtains must be re.
peated every few years, because
they wear out or fade. 1t Is i'm.
portant, therefore, for the house
wife to know how to meet this
expenditure advantageously.
The Bureau of Home Economics
Of the United States Department
of Agriculture has made a special
study Of curtain problems and Is
ready to help the home-maker
simplify her task and get the best
value for her money. Some of
the following points should be
kept in mind: To be useful, cur
tains must not conceal an at
tractive view. prevent adequlte
ventilation, or shut out too much
daylight. They should soften and
diffuse the light entering the
room and break the severe lines
OF the wooden casing around the
window. Good design requires
that curtains have strong lines
and pleasing proportions, and
that through a careful choice OF
texture and color they link to-
gether the furnishings of tie
