In Alias the Doctor" the film
attraction, Richard Barthelmess
comes forward with what may be
ranked as one Of his finer portray
ais. He plays the part of a bril-
liant young surgeon who undergoes
shame and imprisonment to shield
a worthless foster brother.
The theme evolves about these
two characters, the other being por-
trayed by Norman Foster. The
characters, in turn, are governed
by a mothers overpowering ambi-
ton to get away from the small
farm life to which the family has
been chained for generations, by
making great names for her son
in the outside woodland to gain
this ambition she is willing to sac

found to stand the effects of
the immunization better than
adults.
All of these diseases are espe-
cially likely to affect children.
Smallpox is considered a rare
disease today. but if it is so, it
is because vaccination is so
widely practiced. If this we're
neglected, the disease would
shortly appear in all the viru-
lence it had in the eighteenth
century.
Diphtheria was once the
scourge of children. Eighty-five
per cent of deaths from diph-
liberia occur in the first five
years of life. In 1890. before
antitoxin was introduced, when
the United States had a popula-
ton of 100000, there were
$4,000 deaths from diphtheria.
Today there are around 10000.
Although this represents great
reduction, it can be seen that
diphtheria still constitutes
real menace. With more general
use of diphtheria prevention
(either by toxin-antitoxin mix
ture of toXoid) the number of
such totally unnecessary deaths
may be further reduced.

Have you discovered how
many of the fall dresses will be
trimmed with fur? Fashion, Law
ish with her furs this year, is
not content with putting them
on coats, but must have them
on frocks, too. The idea has
had some sponsoring in Paris.
Schiaparelli even goes so far as
to use little fur collars, wired to
stand up. But America is using
fur even more, possibly because
our furs are better than the
furs used in France, and so we
depend on them more for trim
ming.
A First Fall Dress
If you've been watching the
New York papers, you must
have noticed how many of the
dresses, shown in them, were
fur trimmed. They suggest
either a wool dress, or a fur
trimmed dress for your first
fall costume. Their season is a
little earlier than ours, but it
helps us plan our own ward
robes a little in advance, and
we will no doubt want the same
things in a month or so that
they are buying there now.
Our own stores are showing
many smart costumes, dresses
and little suit effects, with fur
trimming, and the new woods
are beginning to come in, too.
How Furs are Used
Sometimes furs are used as
an essential part of the dress,
as a yoke or collar, but more
often they are merely for the
purpose of richness in trim
ming. There are jabots. cuffs,
epaulettes and reverS of fur,
always soft and light in weight,
so that the dress won't be heavy
or cumbersome because OF its
fur. Color contrast is often in

pose it was because he sug-
geSted a waddling pot-bellied
comedian. For after a while
Oscar got so fat his stomach
touched the ground, and in
his efforts to reach me in a
hurry he would lose control of
his short Stubby legs and go
over in a heap. It was my
own fault that Oscar grew so
corpulent. He had a great
facility for catching in his
huge beak bananas thrown at
him, a trick I made a mistake
of letting my friends witness.
The result was that wherever
I went people were tossing
bananas at Oscar for the fun
of seeing him catch them.
He Liked Oscar
I grew so fond of Oscar that
I made a pet Of him j for
many months carried him every
where with me. After a while
he became one of the worlds
most travelled birds. The more
he travelled the broader he got,
which should establish for all
time the truth of a wellknown
maxim. His Indian travels
alone were extensive. In a
wire basket-cage he accom-
panied me to Agra, from there
into the United Provinces and
back down to Lahore, Karachi
and Bombay, and from there
down to Madras and back to
Calcutta, with every stage of
the journey growing more and
more of a waddler. He was so
full of bananas most of the
time that marvelled at his
ability to walk at all. It was
a feat in itself to drag around
so much weight.
After returning with Oscar
from a series Of collecting
trips that took me practically
all over the Asiatic continent,
wound up at the Grand Hotel
at Calcutta. It was my turn to

among those I invited was an
American lady whose head was
swollen to pumkin size by rea-
son of her having recently been
invited to Government House.
One of the humorous high
spots of this part of the world
is the grim determination with
which ladies practice for weeks
to curtSey in the approved style
when presented to the Cover
nor-General. This is about all
that happens. They give the
Governor a bow and have a cup
of tea and go home. Some OF
them never get over it.

CHAPTER FORTY.SEVEN

Oscar the hornbill had less
strenuous career than Mixes
but it was not without it's color
full moments. When 1 first got
him he was the most grotesque-
looking bird I'd ever seen-the
homeliest and the aWkWardest
and he didn't improve much.
No hornbill is exactly what
you'd call good-looking, but
Oscar had an edge on most
members of the family because
he was a fledgling. positively
nude except for a few pin
feathers around the sides and
ends of the wings, and a few
on his sad-looking equivalent
for tail. He was a great un-
gainly-looking squad about the
size of a full grown Plymouth
Rock chicken and had a blush
skin that added to his weird ap-
pearance. He had the long yel-
low bill characteristic Of the
great pied hornbilI (his particu-
lar SpecieS). It was six inches
long and when open made a
cavity large enough to accom-
modate a good-sized fist.
Full grown, this bird has a
body as big as that of the Amer
ican eagle and a great thick
bill q foot long.

The opening OF the schools
once more brings the unavoid-
able danger of the spread Of
contagious diseases among the
pupils.
Prevention of some of the
worst of these diseases is now
possible, Individual immuniza-
ton against smallpox, typhoid
fever and diphtheria is
thoroughly established pro
cedure.
BY individual immunization is
meant the introduction OF
Vaccines or serums under the
skin of each individual to be
protected. Parents have natural
objections to and fears of such
procedures. These fears are
augmented by ignorant and
often extremely impaSSioned
and persuasive propaganda.
But such fears are unfounded.
Vaccination against smallpox,
typhoid fever and diphtheria
are safe and actually do pre-
vent. They are far less
dangerous than the chance of
exposing the child to the
diseases themselves.
Most decidedly the WiseSt, in
fact the only wise thing, for the
child entering school for the
first time is to give it smallpox
and typhoid vacclneS and dlph-
liberia immunization. The only
regret is that we have not now
the means to immunize children
to scarlet fever. infantile paraly-
Sis, rheumatism. whooping
cough and a half dozen other
contagious. The day when that
is possible. it is to be hoped, is
not far off.
The school age is none too
soon to practice such immuniza-
rlon. In fact. authorities agree
that vaccination against small
pox should be performed befole
the end of the first year, diph.
liberia immuniZation at the third
year, and typhoid vaccination
Sefore the fifth year.
Children at these ages are

Whose Fault

Whose Fault
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A socially prominent man who
has lived in this city for years,
married an out-of-town girl,
bringing his bride here to live.
No dinners or entertainments
of any kind we're given for
them (Which seemed very un-
usual to me, considering the
groom's popularity. Please tell
me whose fault this was. Should
friends of the groom have given
entertainments in their honor
or should the couple have sent
out cat Home" cards? j.
I, too, would think that it is
most unusual that the friends
of the groom have not planed
dinners and other kinds of
parties in compliment to this
couple and to the wife. 1t
would seem such a natural
thing for them to do. And

CHAPTER 3
So Val came to Aunt Julia.
Came red-eyed and weeping, in
the dead of the night.
Millie tried to comfort her.
"Val, pet, don't cry. 1t won't
be for long. Other little girls
don't expect to be with their
mothers every minute. I've
spoilt you-"

Now, that's enough. Will
you keep quiet?" Millie was
afraid people were looking.
They were crossing the bay on
the last ferry, going to Oak
land.
The ferry whistled. The
lights of San Francisco, tier
after tier of them, rising to the
distant stars, tWinkled across
the dark waters, farther and
further away.
For all her misery, the child
must have dozed. They were
off the ferry, on the train, and
a brakeman was calling, "Twen-
ty-third avenue next"

you beat that?"
The electric train ratified out
of the station. With an exas-
perated sigh, Millie tightened
her hold on the bag, graSped
VaTs hand and walked rapidly
across the car tracks, across a
vacant lot, and up a quiet,
dimly-lighted street.
They came to halt in front
of a stucco bungalow, with a
neat patch of lawn and some
nicely-trimmed rosebushes in
front.
This is the place." Millie
said grimly.
She rang the doorbell, and
looked away while she waited
for Miss Julia Macfarlane to
answer.

good girl, and III be back for
you soon"
Tears Blind Val
Poor Millie. She had deter
mined to be so brave. But at
sight of the little girls trem-
bling lip and hurt, frightened
eyes, she broke down. She
dropped to her knees and
strained the thin little body to
her. Little whimpering sounds
came from her.
Tears blinded Val. She could
not see Millie. She could
hardly hear her voice. Weep
ing wildly, she let the strange
woman who was her aunt take
her into the house and put her
to bed
"Well, I'll keep her awhile"
Miss Macfarlane had agreed,
grudgingly.

most" Walls mother had begged.

galyac, banding the revers of
the SurpliCe closing. The full

Looking Out
When you at last can under
stand
How brave your brothers are,
Your faith will take you by the
hand
And lead you to a star.
For when you turn your vision
out,
Away from self always,
To view the whole wide world
about
And search its varied maze,
To note the unframed heroes
there.
How fine, how wise their
deeds,
Then you will lose all thoughts
of care,
All frets for little needs.
When you have known these
other men
Who go so staunchly on.
You will be heartened once
again
To face the darkest dawn;
For you will know you, too, are
heir
To gifts for which you grope,
You. too, in life'S great dowers
will share,
It's courage, trust and hope.

overcalled with 2-Clubs. B
went 2-Hearts. z bid 3-Dia-
monds. A bid 3-Hearts, and
B carried the contract to f.
Hearts. although the values
held failed to justify either A
or B in going so high.
Y led his top diamond, and
z won the trick with his Ace.
Wanting to obtain a ruff, z
led back his lone 3 of clubs.
A played low. US Ace won
the trick and z trumped a re-
turn lead of a low club, CIV
ing his side it's third and last
trick. z led back his Q of
Spades. Dummy won the
trick. Two rounds of trumps
dropped all opposing hearts.
The dealers losing spade was
discarded on dummy'S good @
OF clubs. Then the hands were
spread as every card held in
the declaring hand was good.
Defensive play was atrocious.
The contract could have been
defeated in practically any sort
of play that w did not try.
The ruff did not in the least
help z, who was bound to make
one trump trick by any sort
of play. If Y had put up his
10 of clubs on his partners
return lead. BIS @ would have
won the trick, but the de-
clarer would not have been
able to later on discard his
losing spade. Then opponents
would have won four tricks:
one spade, one heart, one club
and one diamond. All z had
to do was to view dummy to
note that z could not possibly
fail to win one trump trick,
with K-J-9 over Y'S 1O-S-6-4.
rs best return lead was his
Q OF spades. His K of trumps
would have been a better lead
than his singleton club, after
he saw the twice guarded Q of
clubs repoSing in dummy.
One can hardly blame Y cor
making an opening lead of his
doubleton diamond. His part
ner had bid that suit, and it
was possible that z held the
AK, that would win the first
two tricks, after which it was
possible, but most improbable,
that Y might ruff the third
round of the suit.
An opening lead of the 10 of
spades would certainly defeat
the contract. There is no way
in which the declaring side
can lead clubs so as to estab-
lish the @ in dummy without
giving opponents two club tricks,
one diamond trick and one
heart trick.
Think over the hand shown
below. Can z win contract
of 4-Spades, doubled?
