Previous TO 1927. undulant fever
IN man was regarded in the United
States much as n would have re-
Earded other disease curiosities.
During 1929, cases OF the disease
were recorded in every state. IN
q~ueStiOnably this sinifies a far
greater number OF cases than were
actually recorded because confirma-
ton Of the presence OF this disease
depends on an examination Of the
blood that can be made only by a
competent laboratory.
Thus. Walter Simpson announces
that he has investigated 12S cases
OF this disease around Dayton. o.,
during the last two and a half years.
The disease Is probably much more
prevalent than Is generally believed.
and n large number OF cases al be
found whenever a special search Is
made for them.
IN the great majority OF cases
seen by DR.. Simpson the taking OF
raw milk containing the organism OF
contagious abortion OF cattle was
demonstrated 10 he the source OF
the infection. Undulant fever Is net
sufficiently fatal to arouse great
fear, but Il can produce long endur-
ing illness and great distress. 1t
resembles such diseases as typhoid
fever. malaria, tuberculosis and in
fluenza. From five days to three
weeks after the organisms have got
ten into the body, the person who is
infected develops a chill and a rapid
elevation OF temperature. He per-
spires greatly at night and IS ex-
tremely weak. Usually. he feels well
in the morning. but every afternoon
and evening he gets a fever and the
other symptoms that have been men,

Associated with this condition
there may be insomnia and even
mental confusion and delirium. The
very name OF the disease indicates
the nature OF the attacks OF fever,

There are signs, here and there, that a real business
recovery is not so very far away.
For example, there is a report made recently by the
White Motor CO., which manufactures trucks. During
the last few months business firms have been ordering new
trucks in substantial volume; in the first 10 days of this
month 161 new orders were received, and the White
factory, as a result, is a busy place these days.
Now this reflects some sort of revival in confidence
on the part of a good many industrial leaders. No firm
is going to buy new trucks in quantity unless it has good
business than it has been doing in the past. This Incl
dent would seem to be one of the autumn's most en-
couraging developments.

NEW YORK-Few persons out
side the Inner social circle" APP
preciate the years Of preparation
and grooming that go into the
creation Of q New York debutante.
Here she is once more IN p
bright and glamorous center OF
the society spotlight: a radiant
young person, whose parents
names appear in the Blue Book,
and whose fortune is presumed TO
continue on the gold standard.
In fiction and films concerning
the deb and her socially prominent
mother, / have found most OF the
Characterization either unfair or
somewhat untrue.
Far from being neglected by her
family, the more important debS
are watched by the society ma
irons with the greatest care.
The preparation OF an important
deb begins when she In about nine
or ten. Then her education In
grace and department starts. First
she learns to dance, and the selec-
ton Of a tutor is no small problem.
At Is she must be readied for
school-and again there is worry
over a proper selection. BY ID or
10 she Il ready for presentation TO
society.
Meanwhile, all that her mother
has learned in years OF social
contact is poured into her ears.
Once the deb comes out. the
mother begins TO watch ike a
hawk. Much Is heard OF the pit
falls faced by the poor working
girls IN a big city, and most peo-
pie have a notion that the rich
debbies are sheltered from all
perils. Actually, their dangers bring
gray hairs to their wise mamas-
particularly In this generation
when slick young men r 10 be

male ~hangers-on, vino somehow

the best places and who are
waiting for an opportunity to win
the heart Of some rich, fashion,
able and Economically impression

SO mama must keep q keen eye
on the young men encountered
in the course Of various parties.
No private debutante party is
without its quota Of fortune
hunters these days. and the heiress
hunt is never re~linquiShed by them.
AS for the young men Of the So
cial world, their future is being
planned almost from the day OF
their birth.
There are scores Of lads, no
more than three years OF age,
whose names are already regis
tered ON the Union League ano
Knickerbocker rolls. BY the time
they have reached the necessary
age, they will automatically be
