If your child gets diphtheria you are to bla , unless you have done your part to protect him.
 Looking up the history of diph- theria We find that man was fa- miliar with this disease long before the Christian era. The year 161S was known in Spain as "diphtheria year." and medical history is full of accounts of disastrous epidemics ol diphthcrin in many parts of the world
 In 1921, a French physician demonstrated the fact that diph- theria was being spread among the troops by the common drinking cup land he il was who described this disease very carefully. and gave il its present name,
 Not much more was learned about Idiphtheria until 1883 and 1884 when the diphtheria germ. a microscopic plant. was discovered and proved 10 he the cause of this disease. Now the diphtheria bacillus, or diph- thoria germ. though a very small microscopic plant. is a fairly large one compared 10 some other disease germs that is, it Is about one-cighth 1 Ithousandth to one five-thousandth of an inch in length, which may be regarded as q fair sized disease germ.
 Using the Discovery
 About the first use made of this discovery of the bacillus of diph- Ithcria was that of determining by a hacteriological examination whether or not a child or other person who i has a sore throat is suffering from diphtheria.
 This is now an almost universal practice where modern physicians arc 10 bc found, and 10 let a child hccomc seriously ill or die of diph- thcria wiuthout a meteorological ex. animation when one can be had would not only be a disgrace, but il would be criminal because tht earlier the disease is recognized, tho better the chances are of saving thC child's life.
 Shortly after the discovery of tho diphthcria germ 1t was found that when these germs are grown in the laboratory they produce a poison known as "diphtheria toxin" and that the rms and the toxin can be separated from each other by a process of filtration.
 This toxin can be made so strong that the hundredth part of drop is sufficient 10 kill an avcrage-sizej guinea pig.
 Later in the study Of diphthcria lit was found that lay giving an ami nal repeated injections of dilute toxin. il would become resistant or Immune to diphtheria-in other words. that you could not kill the animal with the disease itself.
 Developing Serum
 By further experimentation Ii was found that the blood serum of ar animal so immunized would curt diphiheria In q human being if giver in time.

be nesting. I certainly would like some grouse eggs. My, my. my, how 1 good they would taste, I'll keep an eye on her. That's what I'll do. I'll i keep an eye on her."
 And that is exactly what Chatter. CT did do. Every day when he heard Thunderer drumming, he raced over 10 watch for Mrs. Grouse. When she would slip away he would try to follow her, all the time keeping in the trees. So it was that in the end he did discover where Mrs. Grouse's new nest was. Chatterer fairly hug ged himself.
 NOW" said he, "all that is neces- s0ry for me 10 do is 10 watch until Mrs. Grouse leaves the nest. She has to gu eat, and if I can find out just when she does go eat. I'll do a lit tle eating myself. I'll eat those eggs and she'l never know who did it.' i So Chatterer watched from tho , tree tops until he had made up his mind that he knew all of Mrs, Grouse's movements. He knew how often she went to the nest and how Hong she stayed away. Then he was prepared 10 get those eggs.
 So it was that there came morn ling when Chattercr was at his usual watching place as soon as it was light enough 10 see. Mrs. Grouse was sitting on her nest quite covering the GEES. Chatterer waited patiently 1 It was almost time for her to so for breakfast. At last he saw her look this way and and look that way, to be sure the way was clear. She look nd every way excepting un in the tree where he was. Even had she looked there, she couldn't have seen him, for he was well hidden. Sat- iisficd that all wss well, Mrs. Grouse slipped away and almost at once disappeared from sight under some little hemlock trees,
 Now. Chatterer had thought about those eggs so long that he just couldn't possess himself with pa tience another minute. Hardly had her tail disappeared when he was racing down from his trees and making straight for those eggs. He had just reached the nest wher without warning something knocked him rolling over and over. Heels over head he went. Such a pounding as he got. By the time he managed Ito get his breath and dodge behind a tree he was as sore squirrel as ever lived. Mrs. Grouse had return. ed unexpectedly. Chatterer had Ilearned q lesson. Ii was, never 10 bt jtoo sure of anything.

 To avert Audrey's affections from him, he has thrown her into the company of his secretary, JOHN PARRISH, and also has let her see him flirtil with Mona, and with ether girls.
 To learn the secret of how stage girls attract him, Audrey decides 10 become q cabaret dancer, and starts nt q stretching school" where girls are limbcrcd for the stage. Morton tells Parrish to so with her, 10 guard her. Morton also goes to q producer of cabaret rcvucs, and pays him 10 offer Audrey posi- lion and 10 surround her with girls and men performers who are not loo rough in their mode Of living.

 "Shut the door," Morton directed.
 Parrish obeyed. and came near CT so the clerks, alert in the back ground, could not hear him.
 She has gone and hired shiny haired fellow 10 be her dancing partner." said Parrish, his voice filled with bitterness.
 That's due to lack of experience with the customs of the stage" Nor ton remarked.

 Tt isn't customary for one part ner 10 pay the other" Morton cX- planed, pleasantly" The money us- ually comes from the producer who hires them, and they divide the pro- ceeds--if any"
 But that's not the ideal" cried Parrish. What I'm objecting 10 is that she is associating with that fel- low at all. He's no good!'
 Morton pcrchod on the corner of q desk. and swung his foot. tapping it rhythmically with his cane.
 How do you know he's no good?" he inquired.
 T could see it!" Parrish said, pounding the table with his fist. His hair is too sleek, and his pants are too big at the bottom. and he's flashy, and sallOw- checked, and smokes cigarets all the time. He's q lounge lizard!"
 "Ah' Morton was cheerfully in- different.
 Don't you see, Mr Morton, she mustn't know c fellow like that!"
 "I understand" said Morton, lex actly how you feel. But you were supposed 10 be watching over her. How did you happen 10 let her make this arrangement"
 Parrish's face reflected misery, "1 cant do anything with her" he said. She does exactly what she pleasts. She went 10 an agency where they have actors for rent, and made me wait in the car down.

THE price you pay for substitutes | is the same as for the genuine Quaker Oats. The difference is in the flavor. And flavor, above all things, is important in oats,
 That rich and toasty Quaker flavor is the result of some 50 years milling experience. Once you taste it, you are spoiled for ordinary oats,
 That is why millions demand the Quaker brand-why you should ac- cept no other.
 Quaker milling, too, retains much of the bulk" of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed. Protein, carbohydrates, and vitanines and bulk" are thus combined to make Quaker Oats an excellently "bal- aneed" food.

NEW YORK, September 16.-Pres-
ent Senate rules provide sinister"

used by individuals and minorities to
modify for personal ano political
purposes the form of current legisla-
ton of all kinds, Vice President
Dawes declared last night in an ad-
dress at a dinner of the radio indus

Renewing his compdisn for

jority of the Senate might prevent
filibustering against revenue and ap-
preparation bills. Gen. Dawes assert
ed that at times the open tilibuster
seemed to be engaged in only as
reminder to the ma jority of what the
minority as individuals could do To
other legisla ton unless they were
appeased by its modification.
"Over all the deliberations of the
Senate hangs as d cloud the menace
of the selfish use of this power" the
Vice President said Time and time
again are it's deliberations interrupted
by the threat of its use. Time and
time again do the representatives of
a non bipartisan majority unsuccess-
fully plead with and beg individual
Senators not to block the proper
transa ction of necessary business
because Of their dissatisfaction with
the status of other matters often en-
tirely personal and trivial.
Tragic More Than Absurd
"At times the whole Senate waits
while the leaders of both the minor
ity and majority parties negotiate
with recalcitrant Senators. for what?
For the right of the Senate itself to
fix a time for vote on important
legislation. Such a situation would
be absurd If it did not concern mat
ters of such public import as to make

Calling attention to the fact that
the bulk of the bills passed by the
Senate are put through by unani-

frequency with which proceedings
under unanimous consent were re-
sorted to was conclusive proof not
only Of the inadequacy of tie present
rules, but of the greatness Of the
power of obstruction which they give
to every individual Senator"
THE strenuous and often patheti
cally unsuccessful efforts to secure
unanimous consent agreements when
the vast majority of the Senate de-
sires to proceed with important busi-
ness" the Vice President continued,
"are in effect efforts for special rules
to do business in a business way and
in consequence to set aside the reGu-
