MANY ARE BEING | VACCINATED HERE;
 VACCINE IS FRESH

"At the present time there are only six cases of smallpox which have been reported and put in quarantine" City Health Officer pr. H. c. DeVighne said today.
 Wild rumors have come to me that there were as many as 27 cases in town and that the report had come from my office. These rumors are not based on fact. There have been altogether about dozen cases in town, but all are entirely cured except the six now in quar- antine. They are: Mrs. Joe Glover, George Peterson, Mrs. Dick Harris, H. V. Morton, Mrs. Nick Kopak, and c. R. Willard"
 While the smallpox has not been of a virulent form, Dr. De Vighne said that he now and always ad- vises people to be vaccinated. There is plenty of fresh vaccine on hand in his office and if anyone doubts that it is fresh they are invited to go up and try it, he said.
 Nearly 50 people have been vac cinated by him since Tuesday, he said.
 All of those who have or have had smallpox here are people whc have never been successfully vacci- mated, Dr. DeVighne said
 The isolation building is to be quite ready for occupancy by Mon day, as Mayor T. B. Judson has had 14 carpenters as well as 2 crop of plumbers working for sev- eral days.

By Constance Cameron

I read an interesting account
last week of the Foreign Legion.
In the short article was the state
ment that the soldiers were not
required to march in any certain
formation or at stated times, but
all that was asked of them was
that they get there! All the
Foreign Legion requires Is re-
suits. and history holds plenty Of
proof that they get them. For in.
dividual bravery, individual re-
sponsibility as to the outcome Of
a planned attack. I believe they
are unique in their records Of
success. There is no 'goose-step"
to distract them from their objec-
tive. There is no swapping into q
hypocritical salute at the sight
of an officer. There is respect for
that officer, proper Difference paid
his rank, but the men are al
lowed to be thinking human
beings, trust being evinced that
they will do their utmost to-
ward the success of any venture
in which they participate.
1t seems to me we can learn
something in the training of chill.

We are so prone to feel that our
way is best, when, after all, the

was no fun after all. 1t was to
remain an enigma to my mother
until four years later when l be-
gan to write in school and the
teacher, taking the pencil from
nv left hand and placing it in
my right one demanded that l
write with the latter. As mat
ter of fact l can use either hand
with equal facility and it would
have been twice as easy for me
had I been allowed to write with
my left hand.
Don't try to make your child do
things exactly as you do them.
We each have a different approach
for any work, and a uniquely per-
sonal way Of handling any job.
Invariably we will handle the
problem or work in the way we
can do it the easiest and best,
and If the results are satisfactory,
what difference does it make how
we get them? So long, Of course,
as the method is honorable and
does not infringe upon the rights
OF others.
This, I believe, should apply
also to teaching. If l were a
teacher I should only demand
that a child know certain things
at the end of a certain period Of
time. Whether he learned about
the French and Indian wars by
playing them in sand table, by
writing and dramatizing a play, or
by writing story, or visiting a
museum or in any way linking
up the initial facts with an emo

SUCCESS IN
DRAMA

The author of a play for the
stage knows, if he has investi-
gated, that the chances against
his plays earning appreciable
royalties are about 5000 to 1
under the current methods; that
is, about 5000 plays are written
to every one produced success
fully. A successful play should
have a three months run at close
to the theater's capacity. A glori-
fied-girl show must run year
before it's daring impressario
gets his money back.
The ordinary play can be put
on the stage for from $4,000 to
$4,000. A big show with girls,
costumes, scenery and music will
cost from $4,000 to $235, 900 be-
fore its official Broadway open
ing. And the great majority of
theatrical failures can be traced
directly to insufficient capital
and experience. No plays should
have less than four weeks re-
hearsal, but many q play has
opened in New York after two
weeks OF study Of stage lines and
business.-Earl Chaplin May in

your friend will meet other girls.
He may in the long run change
his mind and prefer someone else.
Or you may meet another young
man whom your parents will ap-
prove and you will like.
At any rate, when you are OF
age your parents win not have
the legal right to dictate to you
in the matter of sweethearts and
you will feel more free to assert
your own preferences. Mean
while, who knows? You may
even become fond of this good
young man who is devoted to
you.
Everything considered, my
dear, l would not take this
friendship your parents advise
too tensely or seriously. Devote
your thoughts and time to your
school, work. When you are
through school, and 10 or more,
there will be time to decide
about serious love and marriage.
All happiness to you!

AN UNUSUAL
PLANT

After 30 years Of life, the Vera
Cruz Century plant at the New
York Botanical Garden is about
to bloom and die. 1t has a young
flower stalk which has grown
two and a half feet during the

In about a month Towering
will be complete. Meantime,
William Becker, foreman OF the

continue to shoot up rapidly.
Century plants, or Agaves. he
