 Taboo in India Press

Chicago, Oct. 5. R)-For a news paper to headline on the front page something about short skirts for women" would be unthinkable in India, says K. s.

 "The graver press of India. which stresses the guidance of public opin- ions concerning serious affairs of state, knows no comic strips" he said.

Aunt Agony had given Sylvia a hundred dollar bill for a wedding present.

 Sylvia's impulse was to give it to Fanny to play poker with. Then a second idea occurred 10 her that struck her as being the happiest sort Of inspiration.
 She would give a party here in the little Nest!
 Right here, in his own home, she would give Fanny the gayety, the noise, and the merry making that he was looking for. She would show him that he needn't set foot outside the door of the flat on Wing street for all the pleasure he wanted from life.
 With Fay's expert help she got together all the "makings' of a good party-the jazziest new records for the phonograph, the fruit for new kind of punch that Fay knew how to make all kinds of things for sandwiches and salads, cigarcts and cigars. anu flowers.
 Half of Aunt Agony's wedding gift was spent by the time she and Fay reached home with their bundles on Saturday afternoon.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General United States


 Public Health Service
 The earliest records of the human race contain reference 10 plague. It is mentioned in the ancient SansBrit and Egyptian writings and the fifth and sixth chapters of the First Sam uel, in the Bible.
 In this, it is we'll to remember that in the text is an untranslated Greek word - emerrhod - which means bubo or swelling. The word mouse in this text should have been trans lated rat.
 The PhiIistines of that day rocog- nized the role of the rat in the pro- duction of the disease in man. for they made golden images of the rats Cor mice as the text reads) in the hope Of appeasing the anger of the God of Israel. whom they thought had sent this plague upon them be- cause they had stolen the Ark of the Covenant
 Forty-OnC Epidcmics
 Forty-one epidemics of plague are recorded as having occurred before tho Christian era. During the 1900 years after the birth of Christ, there arc records of 109 epidemics and from 1500 10 1720 there are record cd 45 pandemics of plague. (Pande- mic means spread all over the world.)
 It is impossible to estimate the number of people who have died of plague in ages past; certainly hun dreds of millions. More than ten million have died of plague in the last 25 or 90 years.
 The present pandemic of plague In 1896, India, Japan, Asiatic Tur- key and European Russia were in- fected,
 In S98 the disease spread to Mad agascar and Mauritius, and in 1899 it appeared in Arabia, Persia, the Straits Settlements, Austria, Portu- gal, British South Africa. Egypt, the French Ivory Coast and Portuguese Africa.
 About the same time the disease appeared in Argentina. Brazil. Para quay and the Hawaiian Islands.
 In United States In 1900. the disease appeared for the first time in the United States in San Francisco.
 In addition to it's having appeared in other South American and Euro- pean countries since 1900. it may be said that the disease reached Seattle in 1907-and although there were only seven human cases in that city, plague-infected rats were found oft and on for 10 years. In San Fran cisco. the disease appeared several times in epidemic form.
 In 1914 it appeared in New Dr. leans in 1920 in Beaumont and Gall weston, Texas. In 1904 it was dis covered that plague infection had spread from the rats 10 the gsound squirrels in California and 1t has been among these ground squirrels ever since.

 "Oh, it's you,' said Polly Chuck, as she poked her head out of the doorway. "Well, keep away from here now"
 Johnny Chuck gaspod with sur prise. "Arent-arcn't you glad to see me?' he asked.
 Not right now" replied Polly Chuck. You run away and keep away.' With this, Polly disappeared inside the house again.
 Johnny just sat there and stared and stared at the empty doorway. His nose was decidedly out Of joint.
 If ever there was an astonishcd, upset WoodChuck, that Chuck was Johnny Chuck. He stared at the empty doorway of his home and there was funny look on his face. Even now he couldn't believe that he had heard correctly. No. sir, he couldn't believe it. Instead of be- ing welcomed by Polly Chuck. he bad been told to go away and stay away.
 Well, in all my born days. never heard anything like that" muttercd Johnny. "Is Polly crazy? She didn't even ask me where I had been. or what happened 10 mo. She treated me just as if I was of no accoun at all.'
 A sudden thought popped into Johnny's head. Could it he that while he had been away a strange Chuck had Woood and won Folly? Could it hco Jealousy promptly Surred all through Johnny Chuck. He glarad all about for signs of q strange Chuck. But he saw no strange Chuck. nor did he see signs of any. He even ran about looking for footprints of a strange Chuck. hut there were none. This relieved him. but it didn't make him feel any hotter-naturcd. He still remain e1 pcorod-vorv much peeyed. In fact. he grew more recved with every passing minute. This was a 0iro way 10 he greeted after all the troubles hc'd bcon through.

 Eut that Is all he did do--iust start. There came from down below such 2 snarpinC of teeth and such m ugiv Warming that Johnny backed oVt hastily. It was clear that Polly Chuck meant inst what she said. II was clear to him that he was no longer welcome in his own home.
 Well, what do you know about thiso" Frumblcd Johnny. "Ther" must he something wrong with Polly. She not only appears not 10 have missed mo, but actually seems 10 think I have no business here. r is my house inst as much as hers, I cant do anything with her down in there now. but it shn once comes ont I'll show her whose house this is g" Johnny was getting angrior and angrier 1rc certainly was very much peevcd.

What had happened 10 make this chanee9 Johnny didn't know. He didn't fayn tho least idea.
