Authority to Speak

DAUL ROMANO will be the
l. principal speaker at the John
Reed memorial meeting to be
held tomorrow night at the John
Reed Club hall, 316 Columbia Sc
curities building.
He will trace the literary works
of John Reed against the back
ground of a most interesting life,
and describe his influence on
American writer's.
AS a publisher and a student
of the theater. Mr.. Romano has
had wide variety of contacts in
the world of books and the drama.
At the age of 10 his interest
and experience in the theater
drew him to Europe where he
travelled and studied under such
men as Pitoeff. Gordon, Craig and
Max Reinhardt.
Fresh from his training in the
French, German and Italian
theaters, he returned to New York
where he was told that he was
too young" for directing in the
commercial theater. After work
ing at number of makeshift
jobs, he finally got back into
theatrical work.
When the Chicago Producing
Corporation was forced to close,
Romano opened bookshop in
Milwaukee, which became very
successful, and later went into
publishing the works of promising
young writer's.
About two years ago he organ
lied the Milwaukee John Reed
Club with Michael Gold and a
few others and has devoted a
great deal of time to it ever since.
The meeting will be held at s
o'clock, and will be open to the
public.

y COX out for measles at this time of year.
j. Late winter and early spring is the season
for the disease so it requires special attention by
parents and city health officials.
Recently it has been rather well established that
measles can be prevented, when cases occur in
schools or in families, by injecting the remaining
children. who have been exposed. with the serum
or fluid matter taken from the blood of those who
have recovered from the disease
The best time to take this serum is from seven
to nine DAYS after the temperature of the sick child
has become normal
ONE Of the latest pieces of research in modern
~ medical science is attempt to develop
dried serum which will have the necessary powers
for preventing measles, and which can be kept
easily available for use.
II seems likely that such product Will become
available in the near future.
There were. in the past very few persons who
grew up without having measles Apparently only
about ] 70 per cent of us 10 be naturally
resistant 10 the disease.
Infection rarely occurs among infants because
they have some natural resistance which they get
from their mothers However. as the child grows
older that resistance disappears.

strong guard of men and officers,
which had been sent by the chief
Priests and Pharisees. It being
dark, they carried lanterns and
torches. They were armed with
swords and slaves too: for they
did not know but that the people
would rise and defend Jesus
Christ; and this had made them
afraid to seize Him boldly in the
day. when he sat teaching the
people.
AS the leaders of this guard
had never seen Jesus Christ and
did not know him from the
apostles, Judas had said to them,
1.-The man whom I kiss, will be
he" AS he advanced to give this
wicked kiss, Jesus said to the
soldiers whom do you seek?"
Jesus of Nazareth they am
swered. Then" said Our Saw
Jour, Il am He. Let my disciples
here, go freely. I am He" Which
Judas confirmed, by saying Hail
MaSter!" and kissing him. Where
upon Jesus said, Judas, Thou be-
trayest me with a kiss"
The guards then ran forward
to seize Him. No one offered to
protect Him, except Peter, who,
having a sword, drew it, and cut
off the right ear of the High
Priests servant, who was one of
them, and whose name was Mall
chus. But Jesus made him
sheath his sword, and gave him
self up. Then all the disciples
forsook Him and fed; and there
remained not one-not one-to
bear Him company.
