urges INCUBATION
FOR TYPHOID FEVER
State Health Officer Says Pre-
ventive Treatment Will Halt
Dread Disease

incubation against typhoid fever
was urged by Dr.. A. A. Whittemore,
state health officer, in a health ar
ticle issued Tuesday.
Three injections Of typhoid vac
cine will protect a person for a few
years. the article said. 1T takes
few weeks for the immunity to be-
come fully effective, so people should
not wait until q typhoid epidemic has
occurred before they ask their ply
sician to give them the vaccine. The
vaccine may not be Of benefit to those
already incubating the disease. Some
physicians think that 1t will make
the attack lighter, however. Persons
who take the vaccine should not ex-
pose themselves unnecessarily or fail
to observe ordinary hygienic precau-
tions.
whether an individual stays at
home or whether he travels he should
have the health insurance that ty-
proid vaccine affords. When away
from home do not drink water from
unprotected sources. P~asteuri7ed milk
Is the only safe milk. Raw milk may
be safe but you do not know unless
produced under sanitary supervision.
Carriers should never handle food
products"
No one other disease or group OF
diseases give health workers In pre-
tentative medicine 80 much serious
concern as does typhoid fever, DR..
Whittemore said.
Although 1t remains prevalent in
civilian life," he added. 1.-THE army
medical officers are said to boast
that they have forgotten how to trea:
typhoid fever since incubation
against it was made compulsory In
the military forces in 1911.
1.-THE figures for the World war
show that among the u. s. forces OF
over 1000 900 enlisted men and off,
GERS there were only 1885 cases Of
typhoid fever with 215 deaths. The
ratio per 1000 men for cases was 81
and for deaths v06.
IT artificial immunizatiou was able
to make this most potent cause OF
sickness and death In former armies
such . negligible factor when SAM
tary conditions could not always be
relied upon, it will be equally effec-
tive among the civilian population.
Typhoid fever Is q dangerous dis
ease. It is an expensive illness and
an unnecessary one It leaves seri-
Gus after-efsects and decreases eco
nomic efficiency. It frequently pro-
duces the typhoid carrier" = person
who is supposed to be well Of the dis
ease, who mingles with others and
Eliminates from his bowels and kid
neys or from both, typhoid bacilli.
It Is the carrier that renders the
absolute eradication Of the disease so
difficult"

BROWNS LEAN ON ROOKIE INFIELD

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 18.-Three rookie infielders may buck up the St. Louis Browns this season.
 They are: Irving Burns, a first baseman; Lin Storti, who plays sec- ond, and Jimmy Levey, a short stop.
 Last season the three lads did some real rink r -to-Evers-to- Chance fielding for Wichita Falls in the Texas league, staging more than 100 double plays without as- sistance from other members of the team. Burns batted 1856, Storti BIO

P0COCK SHELLS READY TO START HUDSON CLASSIC
Three Craft in Process of Construction on w.
 U. Campus

SEATTLE, Feb. 18.-Cut on the campus of the University of Wash ington the majority of the long slim sleek racing shells which next June will compete in the an nual rowing classic of the country on the Hudson River, are lined up and ready to go.
 They are in the process of con- struction in the boat shop Of George Pocock, famous shell build CT
 Boats for Princeton, Harvard Columbia, Syracuse, Cornell, Cali fornia, and Washington are on the forms or racks in the shop above the Washington crew house. The last five annually compete in the national regatta.
 Pocock said it was not improb- able that Pennsylvania and Wis consin, two other Hudson River contestants, will later place orders. Pocock has been their shell build CT for several years.
 In reality, the Pocock shop has or will furnish racing shells to all but two of the leading crew insti- tutions of the countrywide and Navy.
 And at Yale Ed Leaders shells are built by Dick Pocock, brother of George, who makes boats ex- clusively for Old Eli.
 It is quite likely that one of the beautiful craft now being construct ed will be the shell that carries the winning crew at Poughkeepsie.
 Cornell, California, Syracuse, Co., lumbia and Washington make up five of the nine varsity entries for the Hudson River feature and all are potentially prospect to win.
 When the craft are sent their many ways from Seattle they will meet again when they are launched next June in the waters of the Hudson when the final struggle of the intercollegiate season will be staged.

 Baseball habits have changed. So has Ruth but the Babe regrets the passing of the days when play CTS scrapped on the field or under the stands. Rather, he regrets the lack of d-fashioned fighting spirit in the game, for Ruth's good na- ture seldom has been upset by an outburst of pugilistic spirit.

GRID CAPTAIN GETS FORM
 WRESTLING ON MAT SQUAD

SALTWATER, Okla, Feb. 18.- Chester Dotter of Saltwater went out for wrestling to learn timing and thus become a better football player.
 It worked, for Dotter was named captain of the 1881 Oklahoma Ag- gie gridiron squad.
 At the same time he gained con- siderable skill in the mat game. This season he represents his school in the 175-pound division, helping defend the national championship owned by Aggie grappiers.

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Here's the answer to a long
felt want, a dress that goes to
luncheon and stays to dinner
and later, and looks just as
smart dancing at II p. m. as it
did lunching at II noon. The
frock for impromptl. evenings,
to put on when you dress in the
morning for a day when you
don't know just what that day
will bring forth.
A Street FrOck by Day
When worn out in the light of
day, it look like an especially
smart jacket dress. The jacket
is a perky cut-away affair, with
a double-breasted front and bell
sleeves that are unusually grace
full. The skirt carries out the
Victorian suggestion of the
sleeves by its restrained, bell
silhouette. The ensemble is
perfectly made of heavy, black
flat crepe.
A Glory in the Evening
NV remove the jacket and
behold (see inset) a sophisti-
Gated dancing or dinner frock!
What looked like a vest under
the jacket, turns out to be an
interesting yoke of rosy ecru,
alencon lace, cleverly appliqued
on the back of the frock. The
black is cut out from under it,
giving the lace the transparency
that is so flattering. The yoke
is collarless, and the back, in
stead of coming flush with the
neckline in the back. is CIT in a
"V" to correspond with the
front.
This ensemble is another eX-
preston of the elegance of the
mode, for it is dignified and
handsome enough to wear to
church or Sunday morning and
then take it's place with the
other Sunday night frocks that
are the accepted attire for in
formal Sunday evenings.
