VACCINATION
WARNING GIVEN
Shield And Dressings
May Cause Serious
Complications

A warning against the use Of any
kind of vaccination shield or dress
ing, either at the time Of or follow
ing vaccination against smallpox, has
been issued by Surgeon General II.
S Cummings of the L. s. Public
Health Service.
The Public Health Service has
conducted studies extending over
several years which show that
shields or dressings applied TO a
vaccination are a cause Of severe
takes" and delay in healing. The
Investigations have also shown that
such dressings produce conditions in
the wound which are favorable for
the development Of tetanus, or lock-
jaw, which is an occasional compli-
cation Of vaccination. Lockjaw. il is
pointed out, is caused by accidental
contamination OF the vaccination
with tetanus germs which live in
soil, dirt, dust, etc.
The surgeon general advises that
no covering should be applied to the
vaccination. When this advice is OBJ
served and a small, proper type of
insertion has been employed il Is
pointed out that the vaccinated spot
VIII usually retain its natural COW
ering, the skin itself, and in most
eases develop a dry scab without
having become an open sore at any
time. Should an open sore develop,
as occasionally happens through in
jury, an antiseptic dressing may be
applied for a few days. Several lay
ers of ssz mined to the inside
of@00se-ftT7Is~ eeve is perhaps
~ for this purpoN1aIf the dress
ing is attached to the arm il should
be large aOi the adhesive strips ap-
piled loosely and as far from the
vaccinated site as possible.

Coined Element
Perfect In Film

Cyril Harcourt wrote a play called
"a Pair of Silk Stockings" which
was produced with great success in
New York.
The screen version OF this farce
is the Laura La Plante Universal
starring vehicle silk Stockings"
which is the cause Of all the com
motion at the Texas theatre, where
il is showing.
The picture is even more success
full than was the stage comedy. The
credit for this goes TO various peo-
rle, Miss La Piante. the star; the
supporting members Of the east: the
director. Wesley Ruggles; the seem
artist. Beatrice Van.
The comedy element is not lost
sight OF. and the gag lines Of the
play are Incorporated into screen
sub-titles wherever possible. The
title-writer must also add titles in
keeping with the spirit OF the photo
play where the stage lines do not
cover the cinema situation.

Divine Woman
Film AT Rivoli

Appearing at the Rivoli theatre at
San Benito today and Monday is
Greta Carlo, Swedish film actress,
who has gained an American film
following Of millions with the re-
lease Of her first American-made
film.
1t is generally the misfortune of
stars TO bloom forth suddenly in
splendid vehicles and to then be as
signed inferior stories which rarely
permit them 10 attain the height
reached in their first great produc-
ton.
Greta Carlo has had the good for
tune to get a better story each time
she appears on the screen and
through this-add to her already SEN
sational popularity.
For the first time in her entire
film career Mis- Carlo has a chance
10 show what she can do against a
cheap and tawdry background in
both the first and last SEQUENCES Of
the production. That she plays
equally IS well against these back
grounds as she does in the sequences
Of ~splendor and luxury proves that
she is not a type actress at all,
though most Of her roles have smack
ed of the same flavor.

Lacrosse Suggested
Some Think This Lively Sport Should
Be Introduced Here

The thought of the long
stretches Of time when the Ke-
nan stadium is not in use has led
to the suggestion that lacrosse,
a popular sport in Canada and
the northern part of this coun-
try, be introduced here in the
University. 1t is said the sta
dunn would be an excellent place
for play.
"They played it on the foot
ball grounds at Cornell when |
was there" w. E. Caldwell was
saying to a friend the other day
while they looked down on
Kenan field. "and it was great
fun both to players and spec
tators. In this climate it would
be fine winter sport and / believe
the students here, if they once
gave it a trial, would be delight
ed with it."
Lacrosse, which is of Indian
origin, is an exceedingly lively
and exciting game. There are
twelve players on a side, and
each of them carries a stick,
called a crosse, which has a net
at the end. A player throws
the ball toward the opponents
goal, or passes it to one of his
teammates. The side scoring
the most goals within certain
time wins.

Major Cain Got a Splendid Welcome from the
Civil Engineers in Convention in New York

are the most delightful functions Of
the annual meetings, since they per-
nit "the old boys" TO renew friend
ships made many years ago. Among
the past officers attending this din
ner there were nine past presidents,
who were seated at the speakers
table. Major Cain was placed among
this group Of past presidents, sitting
between Past Presidents John r. Free
man of Boston and Charles E. Grun-
ski Of San Francisco. Past President
Pegram presided as toastmaster, and
Major Cain was the first one called
upon to address the guests. He gave
a very delightful talk of reminis-
cences, and received a great ovation
from his many friends.
Major Cain took advantage Of his
visit to New York to attend some
symphony concerts and operas, but
during the hours spent at Society
headquarters he could always be found
among a group Of admiring friends
who would discuss with him the many
papers that he has published in the
Transactions Of the Society. His CON
tributions on arch dams, earth pres
sures, and retaining walls are consid-
cred as works of great authority, and
frequently one is heard referring to
the Cain methods or formulate on the
above important subjects. 1t was a
great pleasure to his friends 70 have
him attend this annual meeting and 1t
is hoped that he will attend many more,
