Monday and Tuesday The heart
gripping night vigil in Puccini's "Ma-
dame Butterfly" has a remarkable pa
rallel in "The Enemy" Lillian Gish's
new vehicle, in which, under the direc-
ton of Fred Niblo, the suspense of a
night vigil has almost the same effect,
though the situation is one entirely
different. In the picture, based on
Claiming Pollock's famous stage play,
PAUL., the heroine, the role played by
Miss Gish, and Cary, her lover, are
married on the eve of his call to the
front during the war. Their last
hours together are before the dawn
that hurries him away with his troops.
All night they sit, watching the re-
lentless hands of the clock, ever NOV
ing toward their separation, perhaps
forever.
The David C. Harrison Post, No. IA,
American Legion, Smyrna, is to spon-
sor the showing of Emil Janning's
greatest production, "The Patriot" to
be screened Monday and Tuesday ev-
ening, March 18th and 18th, at the
Strand Theatre, Smyrna. The local
Legionnaires ask that the people Of
the community lend their valuable
support by being present on one Of the
above named evenings. Tickets will
be on sale at an early date.

START DIPHTHERIA CAMPAIGN
State Board Taking Interets to Pre-
vent Disease and Death of Diphtheria

State Board Taking Interets to Pre-
vent Disease and Death of Diphtheria
You are aware of the effort which
has been made in this State to prevent
disease and death brought about by
diphtheria, and the interest which the
State Board for several years has been
taking in this effort. 1t has, as you
know, provided for the free distribu-
ton of antitoXin as a means of treat
ment, and has also furthered diph-
liberia prevention, encouraging the
protection of children by the use of
toxin-antitoxin mixture. 1t is thought
that there are about $4,000 children in
the State who are unprotected; since,
though many are protected, their plac-
es in the unprotected group are con-
ctantly being filled by younger chill
dren The procedure is not cOmpuls-
ory, but the Board of Health feels as
sured of its value as a scientific pro
cedure and strongly recommends it.
The family physician will attend to the
matter if he is asked to do so and if
you prefer to go to him. The Board
of Health will supply him with the
material needed; and his fee, to be
paid by the parent under those cir
cumstances, will be a reasonable one.
Otherwise the Board of Health will
hold itself in readiness to help those
parents who do not follow this plan.
In each case the consent of the par
ent of the child to the procedure is
necessary.

The Everett Theatre. MiddletOwn

Wednesday and Thursday-One Of
the most famous vessels in the South
Seas was purchased by officials Of the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer company for
the filming of 'White Shadows in the
South Seas" The ship was "The
Commodore" built at Nova Scotia
shortly after the Civil War. On her
first voyage the natives of Terra Del
Guego slipped over her rail in the
Straits of Magellan and killed every
man Of her crew. Months later, the
ship was found beached and was taken
to Punto Arenas and reftted. She
was then purchased by an eccentric
Scotch sheep rancher who loaded her
with sheep and started for the South
Seas in search of an island he could
have all to himself. With a crew of
half caste Indians he sailed away and
was found years later in possession of
an island-but with no Indians. Nc
Gregor had chased away the legiti-
mate owners of the island and held
possession until he died, years later.
Then the owners took his ship as COM
pensation. They trusted "The Com
modore" to two Belgians and a native
crew and she set sail once more. Two
years later the native cook was found
in the Philippines and declared the
Belgians had killed every man Of the
crew and taken the ship. After a
worldwide search they were found,
tried and executed in the Belgian
Kongo and "The Commodore" was
brought back to Tahiti In view of
services to Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the
old ship, which has borne a hundred
names, was rechristened "The White
Shadow in honor of the picture in
which she takes a prominent part.

per centum more than they were dis
abled at the time of entry into the
service, are likewise entitled to the
benefits of the act"
The second set of questions submitted
to the Attorney General involved four
classes of claims and each question, to-
gether with the opinion of the Attorney
General on each point, is outlined as
follows:
Has an officer who received a 80 per
cent permanent rating prior to the
passage of the retirement act, but whose
rating has since been reduced to less
than 10 per cent. any rights under the
act SO long as his rating remains less
than 10 per cent?
The Attorney Generals reply was in
the negative, based upon the thought
that the reduction of the rating was
an indication that the previous rating
OF 80 per cent was erroneous.
Where the records show that pre-
viouS rating of 80 per centum or more
was in error under the law or the facts,
may the bureau re-eXanine and re-rate
the applicant? The reply was in the
affirmative, based upon the same reason
as given in the answer to the first queS-
ton.
Where rating of 80 per cent or more
properly made under the bureaus old
rating schedule does not agree with
rating made under the rating schedule
in use at the present time, must a re-
rating be effected under the present
schedule? The reply was in the mega
tive, on the ground that rating prop
erly made under the old schedule was
made in accordance with law and must
hold.
Where an officer was rated 30 per
cent or more disabled under the old
schedule of ratings and the evidence
shows that he is not now permanently
disabled to a degree of 80 per cent or
more, must the old rating be accepted
or should he be re-eXamined and re-
rated under the law and rating schedule
in effect May "a, 1923, or that in effect
on the date of administrative deter
mination? In reply to this, the Attor-
ney General expressed the opinion that
the officer might be re-examined and
re-rated in accordance with the Sched-
ule in effect when the rating was made,
in order that the error as to perma-
nency or degree of disability might he
corrected and his rating established in
accordance with the law, and that if
such denomination and re-rating
should lower this rating to less than
80 per cent, but his physical condition
would justify a rating of not less than
80 per cent permanent disability under
the rating schedule in effect on and
to May "a, 1928, he should
be re-examined and re-rated in accord
ance with such schedule so that he may
come within that class who may here
after, within one year. be rated In ac-
cordance with law at not less than 80
per cent permanent disability"

Iodine Conauers Goiter.

1t is rather generally agreed among
authorities that goiter is due to def
cheney of iodine in the system and that
the disease can be prevented by giving
to growing children sufficient iodine to
make up the lack. The State of Mich
igan has practically eliminated the &C.
currence of simple goiter among school
children by the use of iodized salt.
When survey of Midland County
was made in January, 1924, 41.6 per
cent of school children had goiter A
recent survey in the city of Midland
alone showed that 81 per cent of the
homes had used iodized salt continu-
ously and that only per cent of the
children had goiter.
