Health and Right Living

had q few cases Of Group every

common as It used to be.
In the old days we heard n lot
about "membranous Group" As
the name indicates, q membrane
formed in the throat As q matter
OF fact, that condition was really
diphtheria. The term "membran-
Gus Group" was merely another
name for dread diphtheria.
III the scientists had never done
anything else for us than to find
a near or protecting little chill
dren against diphtheria, their ef-
forts would be worth a thousand
times more than they cost. There
are communities of considerable
size in this country where there
was not a single death from diph-
iberia last year. In the death rec

fact, while the symptoms OF true
Group are distressing and seem TO
indicate great suffering on the part
Of the victim, serious results are
rarely met. The snoring, whist

talic cough seem very terrible. I
am not surprised that many a
mother has been frightened into
spasms by symptoms in her child
which rarely proved or little con-

LOOKS THE PART

LOOh0 n an
He is easily spotted on the floor Of the senate from
the galleries. In fact. ne has been described as look
ing more like a United States senator than any Of his
colleagues. He possesses every physical characteristic
that one expects to see in a senator
No one works harder or keeps more regular office
hours than Senator Overman. He is at ms desk every
morning by 9:l5 when congress Is in session, and he
doesn't go home until late in the afternoon. He al
ways can be found either at his office or on the floor
Of the senate.
If the senator is not engaged in reading some SEN
ate report or porting over the pages Of some public
document, he is enjoying a mystery story or novel.
Anything Of this nature appeals to him tremendously.
He also is an ardent radio fan. He not only tunes
in on the setting up exercises at 6:45 in the morning.
but also on the evening programs.
Motoring is the only outdoor amusement that in
terests him. He does not care for sports in any form.
and, despite the fact that Mrs. Overman is one of
the most enthusiastic Of anglers. she never has been
able to arouse much interest along this line in the
senate.

 Moose Johnson is resting up for a few days after his six weeks trip into the Ohio creek district. The Ohio region is high ly mineralized and lots of base ore float can De picked in the valley almost anywhere. Most of it carries copper and galena; at the present time there are no prospectors in there. Hard-rock men are certainly overlooking a good country, according to Moose.
 Jim Herdman, prOspectOr and trapper of Chulitna, returned to Hurricane August 20. He built a new boat on the Chulitna riv- CT that he will use as a ferry across to his camp located up the Ohio river about two miles. He will prospect until winter then hit the trap line in the same locality. This winters trapp- ing will go toward a grub-stake for next summer when he expects to stop in the hills all season.

 Searching parties have failed to find any trace of Frank Wells, missing since July IT, Frank came to Broad Pass with his brother in 1905 and both have lived on the west fork ever since. Lon is married and has a fine mink farm started just below Homo lulu station It is now thought that Frank either drowned or a glacier bear got him as there are lots of these bears in this district and they are all over the hills. The search parties are still out looking for Frank but there seems to be little hope of ever finding him alive.
 MT. and Mrs. Bill Shannon did a lot of prospecting in the Ohio, Shot Gun and Portage creek districts this summer. Mrs. Shannon is certainly one woman in thousand going all over the mountains with her husband, crossing dangerous glaciers and fording swift streams which are very dangerous at high water; many times they camp out miles away from any timber but she doesn't complain at all, seeming to enjoy the life fine. Mrs. Shan non put up nice bunch of blue berries during August. MT. Shan non has left for his Copper Mountain property and will be absent until the first snow hits.

Safety for Children If Drivers

Backing the suggestion of Maj. Pratt.
superintendent of police. that the
Christmas shopping period should be
marked by especial care on the part of
motorists, George E. Keneipp, manager
of the District of Columbia division of
the American Automobile Association,
today urged that all drivers of Wash

that the holiday season may not be
marred by injury to any child.
MAI. Pratt has, it seems to me, made
most timely suggestion" said Keneipp.
because it is apparent to every one that
this is the time of the year when our
streets are particularly crowded. Not
only are there more users of the streets.
but conditions are such that it is like
wise the period when it Is harder, par
ticularly for pedestrians. to exercise the
most caution. Every child in Wash
ington wants to be brought into the
business district to see the wonderful
displays Of toys and to personally visit
Santa Claus. Crossing intersections
while ones arms are laden with bundles
and at the same time attempting to re-
strain larking youngsters is no easy
task. and to negotiate the crossing in
safety there must be consideration on
the part Of motorists"
