YORK
!!||!' !a3! van

New York, Oct. 30.-Famous folk, II
weuld seem. are not quite as well
known as they thought they were.
In New York, for instance, there
are groups ranging from actors to
writer's who are catalogued as celeb
rites; yet half the people of the me-
tropolis never heard Of them. And
outside Of New York-well, they don't
even count.
One Of the most amusing commen-
taries on fame I have stumbled over
IN some time may be found in sta
tistics based on QUESTIONABLE sent
out by Variety, the theatrical publi-
cation. With its tongue In its cheek
and Its sense Of the ironic In its in
tent, this periodical made up q Sc
lected list Of actors, authors, states
men, radio folk, movie queens, gang
sters, pugs and poets. This list was
sent to several hundred dwellers in
Chicago. The recipients Of the list
were stenos, insurance agents, doc
tors, chambermaids, chorines, school
teachers and kindred folk who can be
said to represent the rank and file Of
any population.
And you'd be surprised! In fact,
you will be surprised!
Y 4 X
OF course, you may have expected
the movie figures to be best known
Of all-and many Of them were. Joan
Crawford, John Barrymore, Billy
Dove, Ruth Chatterton ct al. were
we'll at the head Of the list. And
since the poll was taken In Chicago,
you might expect Al Capone and Jake
Lingle to be pretty well known!
But there is something funny about
Legs Diamond and Fatty Arbuckle
being known to more people than
Gandhi, Sinclair Lewis or Bernard
Shaw.
And Floyd Gibbons, who was adj
vertised as such demon radio spiel
er! His name appears we'll toward
the end Of the list!
About so per cent Of the voters
didn't know who he was. Arthur
Brisbane may well get start at not
ing that while 1874 persons voted, only
88 knew about him and rs didn't.
Vincent Astor, with all his mil
lions. was known to but a out Of 176.

Building Air Giants

News that the navy department
has ordered the Goodyear-zeppelin
people to go ahead with the conStruc-
ton of a sister -dirigible to the giant
Akron emphasizes the fact that this
new ship will cost only about one
half as much as the Akron cost.
The Akron cost in the neighbor-
hood of $5,0O0,000. The new ship will
run to only about $2,450,000. The
savings come because construction
facilities are now fully available,
methods of design and building have
been more fully developed and the
workers themselves are more familiar
with their job.
All of this indicates that il the
time ever comes when whole fleets of
dirigibles are required-for transat-
lantic commercial service, or for war
the price of each ship can be still
further reduced. Everything consid-
cred, it is amazing that ship the
size of the Akron can be built for less
than two and a half million.

YELLOW FEVER HAS CHANGED
TREND OF WORLDS HISTORY
Disease Is Spread by Mosquitoes and Is Controlled BY
Breaking Its Chain of Infection

reason at all why the transportation
Of people from Africa to America
should not have involved at the same
time the transportation Of the mos
quitoes, and thus their descendants
are available ready to carry yellow
fever when the occasion arises.
The occasion which makes possi-
BILE the transmission of yellow fever
Is, of course, the presence of some
one sick with the disease. During
the first few days of the disease he
may be bitten by mosquito which
then carries the infected blood to an
other human being. It seems likely
indeed that the mosquito once In
fective may remain so throughout its
life. The infective mosquito feeds on
q man who has not had the disease
and then, in from three to six days,
the man comes down with that dis
ease.
After one attack Of the disease, the
person is likely to be immune to it,
and will not succunb again, provided
he recovers. Much study has been
done in an attempt to find the or
ganism that produces yellow fever.
This disease has been brought under
control. however, not through knowl-
edge Of the organism, because that
has not yet been found, but through
knowledge Of the way in which the
disease Is carried from one person to
another. The breaking Of the chain
Of infection Is sufficient to keep it
