A little before half past five she
went into the cloak room and began
to freshen herself up q little for her
visit. She was carefully cleaning
her nails with an orange wood stick
when Billie and Winnie Talcott

Aid For the Robert E. Lee
Eiohwav

Financial aid has been promised by the state
highway commission for the hard-surfacing OF the
Robert E. Lee Highway. 1t is a highway that
traverses a rich country, a thickly populated country
where the makers Of wealth are in evidence. where
the farmers and the stockmen never sleep at the
switch and the highway In its present form which Is
widely travelled.
Highways are great civilizers; they are great divi-
dend makers: they link the country with the city;
they make markets for the products OF the farms and
they make trade for enterprising merchants every
where.
Road building Is in its infancy IN Texas; but the
building will continue until the last OF the old cattle
trail is a memory and Texans will boast OF a popula-
ton that will entitle it to at least second place m

Only q few years ago typhoid was
one Of the most common and most
fatal Of diseases. Today. it Is al
most never met. certainly not in a
well-ordered community.
How can any educated person
sneer at the germ theory Of dis
ease and scott about what the lab
oratory has done for the world?
What has been done in the control
CT typhoid fever alone, should De
enough to convince the most Skep-
teal that society owes an over
whelming debt Of gratitude 10 the
bacteriologist.
When I was a medical student we
used TO hear dreadful tales OF the
defamation Of communities by this
dread disease. The bullets Of the
Spanish war did little harm, but the
germs Of typhoid killed thousands.
Fortunately for the world, he
control Of typhoid had been learn
ed before the advent Of the World
war. What was SO terrible q
scourge in previous wars was Of lit
tie Importance in this one Be-
cause Of the means OF protection
provided by the medical corps, the
armies escaped 1t.
The typhoid germ or bacillus is a
vigorous and hardy one. In TIE
presence OF moisture 1t will live fo-
months. Even in river or harbor
water 1t will remain alive for weeks
One writer stat that the bacillus
has lived in a sealed tube for more
than a dozen years. When typhoid
infected water freezes, the germ win
live in the ice for a period Of three
or four months.
The germ finds its way into the
human body through food or drink.
Water, milk, contaminated vege-
tables and other articles Of food
may carry the bacillus. Careless
food handling e. responsible for
most cases Of typhoid fever.
The person who has once had the
disease may be spreading the germs
Of typhoid for months or even
years after full recovery has taken
place. Examination Of the focal
matter or the urine may reveal
them. In some reported cases they
have been discovered by such exain-
nation years after the patient had
the disease.
The typhoid carrier" usually has
a colony Of germs growing In the
gall bladder. A notable example Of
this sort is Typhoid Mary" VINO
has been under quarantine for
years, because Of the large number
OF cases OF typhoid traced TO her.
Every case Of typhoid fever means
that somebody else had the disease
and has passe dit on to the present
victim. This ma be done through
food or drink. or possibly the con-
tagion may be carried by flies.
The doctor and nurse will impress
upon the members Of the family,
and all the servants the very great
Importance Of guarding against tle
transmission OF typhoid. III the first
patient is properly cared for, that
will be the end of the typhoid furry
in that particular family.
Il is absolutely essential that the
secretions and excretions Of the ty-
phoid patient be destroyed. This
precaution must continue until aft
er repeated examinations IL mas
been determined that all evidence
Of the disease has disappeared. Not
until then can the victim be re-
! eased from observation.

MORAN AND MACK
 AT THE CAPITOL
Why Bring That Up" Is an
 All TaIkie

Moran and Mack, the Two Black New Britain audiences at the Capitol Sunday for an entire weeks run in Why Bring That Tp?", named. no doubt after that famous expression Of languidness of theirs.
 Besides giving the audience a chance to find out just which was Moran and who was Mack. who by the way are called by their right names in the picture, they presented a delightful bit of entertainment
 Octavus Roy Cohen, the author of "Why Bring That Up?" ia said to have written the story loosely about the actual lives of Moran and Maci; Whether he did no not. the picture has 8 consistent plot, which is so often lacking in first vehicles Of popular stage stars, Moran and Mack team up, start their famous Two Black Crows" routine and start on the road to success. a girl Evelyn Brent, comes in and sep arates Moran from some of his earnings, and splits up, or rather threatens to, this team who are SO devoted to each other. But events transpire to the contrary
 Moran and Mack introduce parts of their former successes and add several new numbers-in the same vein. The stage sequences are ela- boratcly screened with much real ism.
 "Why Bring That Up?" should have a very satisfactory showing

JOURNEYS END' AT
 PARSONS THEATER
For Three Days, Thursday, Fri day and Saturday Next Week

Arrangements for the appearance of Journeys End" has finally been made for Hartford and the play by R. c. Sheriff, comes to Parsons theater for three nights and a matinee commencing next Thursday, October 31. Journeys End" has re- ceived such international recognition fish play. Everyone knows, of course, how this vitally moving drama of men in war has been acclaimed both in London and New York, the theatrical capitals of two continents. Simultaneously playing in both cities, it has led the dramatic fields in each from the time of it's first opening. A company has recently opened in Chicago with tremendous success, and now another company. recruited in London by Gilbert Mil Ter, and acclaimed during. a Welsh try out tour as at least the equal of the other two, is making a trip through Canada. The Hartford con- pany has recently arrived from I.on- don and is busy with rehcarsals un- der MT. Miller's direction and will be seen for three nights and a matinee commencing October S1.
 But this is not nearly all. Touring companies have carried the drama throughout England. a touring com pany is going through the mid west crn section Of the United States, and another company will soon be seen in the south. Last season. the play was the mainStay of the English speaking stock company that plays in Paris, and definite plans are on loot to translate the piece into French for a shortly Forthcoming second Parisian presentation. It is also being played in Berlin, Paris and Stockholm, and will also be seen shortly in Vienna and The Hague. It IS also being translated into Italian. and it is probable that even Czecho-SloVakia will boast of q Journeys End" company soon.

In this excellent play, written by John Y. A. Weaver and George Abbott, Miss Bow is an ambitious, poppy young sales girl in Ginsberg's department store. She falls for the handsome young floor walker, James Hall, and their romance seems 10 be smoothly sailing toward the serene haven of wedlocll when Clara's younger sister, Jean Arthur, decides to make a play for the much desired Jimmie.
 But Jeans affections gro unhap- billy freightcd with defections for she has squandored some of the money Of the t.mploycG' Welfare Fund on the horse races and is very much in a jam at the store as a consequence. When the day of ac counting arrives Jean shifts the blame for the loss of money by ly- ing. She tells her supcriors that Clara stole the funds. Meanwhil" Clara has learned of her sisters foolhardiness and is making a stren- u0us effort to get the money back from the dishonest race-track bet tor who had taken it. Jimmie also learns of the prediCament Of the sis ters and heroically turns to the aid of Clara. The finale is q sweet one Clara gets her man. But there is an abundance of tense plot action, and fine basic substance of robust American slang.
 Miss Bow, as we would expect, runs away with the picture. She is ali over the place with her zip bang, knockout manners and h"r contrasting moments Of serene blandishments.

 In other cases, the light may frighten enemies away and Dr. Bcebe surmises still other lights may be associated with sexual char acteristics. The male fish perhaps calls to it's mate by flashing a light much as the rooster Fuffles his feathers and utters a "cock1- doodle-doo,'
 The light which these strange fish give out. either steadily or in inter mittent flashes, is s'cold"-l00 per cent light and no heat. It Is so bright that it is extremely difficult to photograph.
 Many times I have seen a single flash from one tiny bulb on one fish light up an entire dark room," Dr. Beebc said.
 Just what all these lights mean. so far as they are developed, is still ccnjectural. Attempting to recon struct life mile or so below the ocean surface is very difficult.
 Tt is much as though you flew over New York in a Zeppelin in a thick fog, let down a great net and attempted to reconstruct our civil ization from your finds Dr; Beebe said.

Dr. Beebe Studies Charac- teristics of Creatures Caught Near Bermuda Many New Species Are Found In Expedition.

New York, Oct. 2G CUP)-Dr. William Beebe, noted scientist ani explorer sat down in his studio to- day to begin classifying and study inG one of the most extensive and notable collections of fish ever gath cred by one cxpedition-the fruits or six months trawling Of the waters of Bermuda.
 Thousands of specimens, volumes of notes, hundreds of paintings are stacked about his rooms and labora- tcry, awaiting the attention of the tall, lean and bronzed scientist. Dr. Beebe is veteran Of many eXpedi- tions, but none, he believes, of more importance than this.
 Fish Found With Lights
 The specimens include. long, thin fish whose sides ire adorned wita rows of lights like porth oles on 2 ship; almost transparent fish who's bodies eXude multi-colored lights that put Broadway sjgn board 70 shame for variety; fish Wrih rat-liEH tails 10 times as long as their bodies and adorned at the end with a single ! flashing luminous bulb; fish that can swallow at one gulp prey thrice their size, their stomachs distendin6 { like a balloon to accommodate the infrequent meal.

Sinners Parade" the Columbia production booked at the Palace theater Sunday only is a clever so- ciety drama showing the family life of vice crusader and the suffering resulting from unWisc clean-ups. It treats q phase of reforms that has never been brought to public attcn- ton, stresses the economic condi- tions which force individuals to live double lives and illustrates how per sonal animosity frequently inspires raids.
 The action is gripping. It reveals existing conditions and fearlessly presents a case that is pathetic to the extreme. Suffering. sorrow, dis grace dog the footsteps of a mother who seeks 10 injure another through her vice crusades.
