Returning to the stage-struck
girls-the records Of the Chorus
Equity Association show that there
are about $500 prospective jobs for
chorines in every part of the United
States.
But there are more than $4,000
stage-struck girlies trying to get
them. The average is at least six
girls to every available job. In in
dividual cases it is even greater.
Walter Kingsley, who handles Flo
Ziegfeld's affairs, tells me that the
'glorifier" actually inspected 10000
girls in the present season alone.
When Shuberts sent out call for

ly $500 showed up.
Where do they come from?
The trains dump them off at
Grand Central and Pennsylvania
daily. And they come fuller Of as
surance than ever before. Because
the United States has become the
dancingest nation of the world.
Few indeed are the pretty maidens
who can't step off a few "hot" steps.
Furthermore, there is q vast over
supply Of figures that are more
than possible. There are tens of
thousands of girls who can dance
we'll enough to get by any one Of
the many chorus providing organiza-
tions now flourishing in New York.
These, individual trainers are
more and more, coming into demand.
Time was when the Tiller Girls were
imported from England in whole
sale lots. Today organized choruses.
capable Of executing any number of
fancy stunts, are ground out by the
dozen. The Markert girls happen
to be one Of the seasons fancies and
are well distributed through the
musical shows. There are the Hoff-
man girls, the Sammy Lee girls, the
Denishawn girls and any number Of
others.
But still they come-and some
stay and some 60 home again. And
when they get the jobs, I'm tempted
to inquire, what about it?

LOCHINVARS STILL LIVE

They parted and she began to accept the attentions of
another young The first lover brooded; then he
began to act.
He drove down the street until he saw his erstwhile
sweetie in car with his rival. Crowding the
other to the curb, he got out, brandshing jack
handle overawed his rival and forced the girl get into
his own car. Then he jumped in and sped away with
her.
As they rode, they talked; and presently they drove
up in front of minister's house. License in hand the
Kansas City Lochnvar led his lady in in a short time

and talking like any other more conventional newly

Washington, Nov. 5.-Regardless
Of betting odds and straw votes.
there can be no certainty Of the
election result on Nov. 6.
The Republican habits of the
country give Hoover the edge. but
the cross-currents developed in this
campaign are so numerous and so
powerful that prediction becomes i'm
possible.
Smith may win, though not by
any large majority. If there is a
landslide this year Herbert Hoover
will be found riding on top of it..
Most of the signs favor Hoover. But
the trustworthiness of the tradition
ally accepted signs has never before
been so doubtful.
Thus Republican confidence Of
victory is found to be nervous sort
of expectancy. The Democrats, who
started with little more than a
whispering hope, are not confident
of victory but are convinced that by
election day they will have an even
chance.
The result will be counted in cleo
toral votes, Of which there are 531.
Between ITS and 200 Of these are
now allocated by most impartial es-
timators to Hoover. 1t is generally
thought that Smith is sure of the
ia votes of the solid south. The
election will be decided by those
states which may be broadly clessed
as doubtful.
Obviously, Smiths task has been
far more difficult than Hoover's.
Hoover needs only half as many
votes among the states Of which
neither candidate is sure as Smith
must have to win. Many forecasters
have figured that the indications, il
any, appeared to give Smith no bet

ARE WE BECOMING
HEAITHIERf

A study of census reports brings
out some interesting facts about
sickness. Some diseases are be-
coming less fatal with the advance
Of civilization, while others are be-
coming more deadly.
The average length of life has
almost doubled within the last few
centuries, and there is every indi-
cation that longevity will continue.
have made q study of some Of the
diseases having the most pronounced
changes in the death rates, with the
view of determining which diseases
are becoming greater menaces to
society, and which are being sue
cessfully overcome by society, also
endeavoring to discover the reasons
for these changes. To do this !
have taken an average Of the last
years and compared it with the aver
age Of the previous eight years.
Typhoid Fever
The number of deaths from
typhoid fever has been reduced from
1884 to 8:45 per hundred thousand.
This is one Of the most remarkable
achievements of modern civilization.
The number of deaths has been re-
duced almost SO per cent in the
course of a very few years. believe
this is chiefly because Of the pre-
ventive measures that have be-
come possible because Of our knowl-
edge of this disease. The increased
use Of sanitary toilets and better
care in selecting the position of wells
has reduced the possibility of con-
Eliminating the drinking water with
the typhoid germ. We also have a
careful quarantine of all typhoid
cases, and all large cities-have per-
iodic inspections of the milk and
water consumed.
Smallpox
The average number of deaths
from smallpox has increased from
% to Sc per thousand. Although
this is not a large proportion of
deaths compared to other diseases,
you can see that the average has ex-
actly doubled within the course of
sixteen years. If vaccination is as
effective as it is supposed to be-
what is the reason? My experience
indicates to me that the methods
Of treating this disease, at present
in vogue, can be improved.
tuberculosis
The number of deaths from this
wasting disease has been decreased
from 1888 to 1875 per hundred
thousand. I believe this is largely
because we are beginning to realize
the Importance of protective vita
Minis and mineral elements in food:
and also because of the better treat
ment of this disease through the in
creased use of fresh air and sun
baths. The number of deaths from
tuberculosis will undoubtedly be still
further reduced as the correc

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: r. j. H. writes: my
Adams apple is too large and sticks
away out. Is there any way to have
this operated on to make it SMALL
err"
Answer: The Adams apple is
normally larger in q man and it
cannot be operated on to reduce its
size, but it is usually possible to
develop the neck muscles to such an
extent that they will hide the large
size Of the Adams apple.
Pus in the Blood
Question: r. NJ. asks: as it
possible for pus to enter the blood
stream, and what would be the re-
suit if it did,"
Answer: 1t is possible for pus
to enter the blood stream but usual
ly the Emphatic circulation takes
care of pus, which is composed of
toxic material along with the dead
white cells. Pus in the blood cannot
usually travel very far, as the lynn
phatics save the patients life by
carrying away the toxins and dead
cells and rendering the toxins less
dangerous.
Gas or Novocain
Question: K. G. asks: (which is
best, gas or noyocain, for pullingI
teeth"
Answer: Whether local or gen.
eral anesthetic is used by your
dentist depends entirely upon the
condition of your health, the teetlp
to be extracted, and many other fac
tors which your dentist alone can
decide.
Feeding Baby
Question:: Mrs. H. L. asks:
"What is the best artificial food for
a baby? How old should q baby
be before he may have vegetable
juice?"
Answer: After changing from
breast nursing the baby should be
given nothing but Holstein milk and
orange juice up to about two years
of age, after which he should take
a little less milk and begin using
the minced non-starchy vegetables.
