Gates, Graduate Director of Athletics. Funds for the building, which is to be erected next to the Payne whitney Gymnasium on Tower Parkway, are provided by the bequest of Mrs Sarah Wey Tompkins. The building, designed by John Russell Pope, of New York city. will resemble the gymnasium, which was also designed by Mir Pope. While not physically a part of that structure, 1t will be connect- ed wit hit, and in general appear ance will be a part of 1t.
 Ray Tompkins House will contain three stories and will provide ad- aninistrative offices for the Athletic Association, meeting rooms for the various squads and coaches, quar- ters for returning old " men and members of visiting teams. There will be two entrances, one on Tow

CHICKEN-POX SPREADS RAPIDLY
Often Confused With Smallpox, But Seldom Fatal
Though Both Diseases Require Isolation

died from it. Chicken-pox attacked
q child that had pneumonia, and the
second infection was more than tho
weakened child could stand. One of
the chief dangers Of chicken-pox is
the possibility Of scratching with
secondary infection Of the blisters.
Frequently when the blisters become
infected they destroy enough tissue
to leave permanent scars. In most
cases Of chicken-pox, however, the
soaring is not serious.
The chief trouble with chicken
pox is the fact that the spots itch
and burn. Doctors prescribe various
types Of lotions to use on the spots
that itch. Children can be prohibited
from scratching by putting a splint
on the arm, which will prevent bend
Ing the arms at the elbow joint. This
will keep the child from scratching
his face.
Smallpox differs sufficiently from
chicken-pox for any competent ply
stefan to be able to tell the differ
ence in most cases. In some, long OBJ
servation Is necessary.
As DR.. Bauer emphasizes, q failure
to distinguish promptly between
smallpox and chicken-pox may be
extremely serious. Smallpox spreads
rapidly and may be fatal.

Safety at Sea

Americans who, through misguided
patriotism, imagine that this country
leads the world In everything good or
beneficial, might ponder q fact an
nounced in a recent report Of the de-
partment Of commerce.
1t is the simple statement that
United States vessels now may enter
foreign ports on a legal parity with
others rather than by virtue Of inter-
national courtesy.
The reason lies in the fact that the
United States has adopted the inter-
national load line convention, signed
at London in 1880 and ratified by the
United States this year.
The load-line pact is designed to
prevent over burdening sea-going YES
sells. To protect the safety Of pas
sengers, crew and property, it is nee
essary that a ship be loaded with no
more than it safely can carry. Other
nations have had such a regulation
for years, but the United States was
slow in falling into line. The reason
is problematical, but one Of the bene-
fits set up as accruing from the Lon
don agreement is that the careful,
conservative operator is removed from
the unfair competition of the small
minority of owners who may be
tempted to give more weight to the
possible profit Of a voyage than to the
safety of the crew."
Many of us have had the opinion
that American ships were being dis
eliminated against in many instances.
Perhaps they were, but the revelations
of the department of commerce In
the load-line matter gives rise to the
thought that there may have been
reasons for the prejudice.

New York, Nov. 18.-This Is a tale
told me by Konrad Bercovici, whose
gypsy heart and patient curiosity
take him to the odd corners Of New
York.
Konrad speaks many languages;
he has lived In many lands; all the
foreign colonies open their doors to
him. He has written about most Of
the universe.
Well, anyhow, Konrad called me up
and asked me to be chairman at a
literary" lecture he a going to
make. He had just brought out a
book titled, Manhattan Side Show

It was a story about the elder
Schildkraut-father of Joseph, the
handsome matinee idol.
Schildkraut, Sr., was an actor Of
great eminence on the East Side and
a favorite on Second avenue. Be-
fore and after performances, the ac-
tor enjoyed his little game Of cards.
A certain amount Of betting accom-
panied the play. And in the course
Of time, Schildkraut fell afoul of a
bunch of sharpers, all of them fell
low actors. Night after night they
cleaned" him and he grew more and
annoyed. In good time he came
to know that he had been trimmed"

advertised that Schildkraut, ST., was

The variety Of names that has been
applied to chicken-pox indicates the
| confusion that exists in the public
mind regarding what the disease &C
tually Is. Dr.. w. w. Bauer points out
in q recent article that chicken-poS
has been called water peck, glass
peck and crystal pock. The medical
name for it is varicella. Because It
resembles smallpox in some Of Its
outward manifestations, 1t has also
been called the false smallpox.
Chicken-pox occurs most often IN
children. It Is highly contagious and
spreads rapidly from one person to
another.
Usually one attack Of chicken-pox
is enough to protect q person against
later attacks. The disease usually de-
velops in q child about two weeks
after it has been exposed to contact
with another child that has had the
disease. This fact Is important In
determining the point from which the
disease is spread.

Answer to a Question

Answer 10 a question
Insurance Commissioner s. A. Ols-
ness, writing In the Peoples Forum,
inquiries about an apparent discrep-
ancy in the published accounts OF the
speech of John A. Simpson, president
of the National Farmers Union, and
the speech as Mr.. Olsness heard it on
the floor of the Farmers Union con-
vention here.
The question deserves an answer,
even though it may cause a little en-
barrassment.
It so happens that Simpson changed
his mind between the time he pre-
pared the speech and the time he de-
livered it. He Is an experienced pub
lie speaker and has made many
speeches. In some Of them he has
attacked the federal farm boards
policies. And SO, before beginning his
address, he gave to the press what
he wished to be quoted as saying.
The North Dakota Farmers Union,
however, has been friendly to the
farm board. Since they were his peo-
pie. Simpson evidently wished not to
offend them. And so he deleted the
attack upon the farm board from his
address.
When Simpson began his speech,
the newspapermen began rafting
their %typewriters about other matters
incident to the meeting. They felt
the Simpson speech was 'buttoned up
and tucked away" in so far as they
were concerned. They were right only
in part.
An official Of the state Farmers
Union, commenting on the matter
later, gave apt explanation when he
said: 1T appears Mr. Simpson is fol
whatever his hearers are for when he
consistently can be. He did not wish
to hurt their feelings or set up an un'
friendly reaction, and so he left thu
reference to the farm board out"
The incident speaks neither vel
no. i'll of Simpson. It Is merely re.
corded as = fact. He is not the frs
man in the public eye who hal
changed the tenor of an address a
the last moment and he will not b.
the last.

Lewis Strange Fame

Lewis Strange Fame
The death the other day Of Colonel
Isaac Newton Lewis is . reminder Of
the queer kind Of fame that some men
win.
Colonel Lewis had fame-a great
deal Of it-and it still endures. His
name dots almost every page Of any
history Of the fighting in the World
war: it will live. perhaps. for centur-
les, unless men find some way Of do
ing without armies, navies and mill
tary airplanes. Yet his name, in it.
self, means nothing whatever to the
ordinary citizen.
Briefly, Colonel Lewis was the in
ventor Of the Lewis machine gun. He
resigned from the American army
shortly before the World war began,
in order to submit his new weapon
to foreign governments-the United
States government not being able, at
that time, to work up much interest
in it.
English army officers found in the
gun just what they had been looking
for. They ordered thousands Of the
colonel's light, simply constructed
machine guns. and during the war
the weapon proved Of the British
infantryman's best friends. Aviators
used them extensively; when America
entered the war the United States or
dered quantities Of them. Colonel
Lewis became extremely wealthy, and
his name got into the records Of in.
Vulnerable battles.
And that. when you stop to think
about it. Is = queer way to win fame
TO have ones name given to an in
strument Of death. Not one man in q
thousand knows anything about Col
onel Lewis himself; but everyone
knows about the Lewis gun. Colone'

Perverted Purpose


There Is but one basic Constitu-

It is to provide an enumeration of
the people for the purpose of redis-

prove that this necessity was the sole
motive for requiring the decennial
census at all"
