measles in adult life is very much
more serious than in childhood.
For three infectious diseases,
however, we have methods Of pre-
vention, and possibly for one other,
although that is not so certain.
It is fortunate that one of them
is about the worst menace to child
hood-diphtheria. In old days
diphthesia claimed terrible death
toll from childhood. Yet the Of
fetal health report for 1885 shows
10 cities in the United States with
not one diphtheria. death in that
year. That means we cannot only
cure it, but also prevent it.
Progress in diphtheria has had
three steps. First, the discovery
Of the causative germ and rapid
means of identifying it so, in case
of a suspicious throat, the final d.
agnosis could be made immediate
ly. Second, in 1893, antitoxin for
cure-ten years after it's introduc-
ton the mortality was reduced
about half. Ignorance, prejudice
against it's use, delay in calling
physician, putting off prompt treat
ment-these kept it from going
lower. AS they were gradually
overcome the mortality sank a lit
tie, and then about 1920 the .use Of
a preventive was begun. That ini-
tiated the last era which has in
some communities wiped out diph-
iberia altogether.
The preventive is called "tox-
oid". It is given hypOdermically.
It is harmless. It prevents diph-
iberia. It should be given all
school children.

American cities to date is as fol-

BY EMILY POST.

bY EMILY fOSI.
DEAR MRS. POST: I cannot use
the name cards of the mothers
for the pew cards, as my fiance's
mother is not living. What would
you suggest in such case?
Answer-Write on your own
mothers card. The pew will indi-
cate the groom's side of the church
Or write on q small blank card.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have been mar
ried for six months anf we have told
no one In all this time. Mr.. parents
have always approved of my husband
but finances prevented any wedding
Now they talk about being able to
give me my wedding this Spring and
mother Is looking SO happy about
this first wedding in our family. ]
don't mind going through with this
deception considering the JOY it will
give her, but we're wondering if there
is any reason why it would be in
questionable taste for us to have an
other religious ceremony.
Answer-At first thought the whole
idea is shocking. 1t is a false pre-
tense and makes a mockery really of
every member of your family as well
as of the VOWS you take. And yet If
you can take them feeling that they
are a reinsurance to yourselves that
you mean them now even more seri-
ously than you did the first time. per-
haps the mockery may be absent. At
selves.
Dear Mrs. Post: When invitations
to house wedding at noon are to be
sent is it necessary to inclose an in
vitation to the breakfast afterwards?
Answer-Not for :. house wedding,
ever. The guests are where they
would be invited to come.
~ X
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm afraid my
wedding plans are most irregular. but
even so, do you think they are in too
questionable taste? I would like to
wear a blue travelling suit, pin on
flowers and yet have a maid and ma
tron of honor walk ahead of me down
the stairs here at home. This we'd
ding is to take place at high noon
and after receiving the good wishes
of our friends We will have to leave
immediately for New York, from
where we are leaving on cruise. And
would you suggest that my attendants
and I walk in time step to the
music or walk naturally, simply ac-
companied by music? Also, may they
wear simple street dresses rather than
suits, which I. of course. will need
fer travelling?
Answer-I think two bridesmaids
walking ahead of bride in travel
ing suit would look exactly like any
other three people at the wedding. 1t
seems to me that the best thing to
do would be to let them come down
ahead of you and take their places
on either side of where you are to
stand and then you and your father
walk to the music-alsc it will look
more wedding-like If you all wear
corsage bouquets.

Say, that's a swell idea. I didn't

exclaimed gleefully. ..
The idea was all right for the first
week or two. People stopped coming
to Luke's night club, and it turned
out to be pretty expensive business.
Even Marie failed to show up on the
last evening.
Luke was broke. He was ashamed
to face Marie. He finally obtained a
f1agpole-sitting job, and that revived
his spirits. 1t felt like old times again
for Luke to know that in a few days
he was going to climb right up there
to the top of the old pole.
So he went to see Marie
Hello, there" Luke said to Marie
just as she was coming out of her
boarding house. She was all dressed
up. ta

Hes not a millionaire. He works

and tell him jokes. but he don't laugh.
Nothing can make him laugh, except
me when we're alone. That's what he
does-he don't laugh and I'm in love

PETER RABBIT.
ETER RABBIT, having made up
- his mind that he would spend
the night over near Farmer
i Browns sugar house in the
Green Forest, began to look around
for . safe hiding place. The more he
thought over the warning his big
cousin, Jumper the Hare, had given
him, the more uneasy he became.
You remember that Jumper had said
that this place was often visited by
Hooty the Owl. Yowler the Bobcat,
by Old Man Coyote and by Reddy
Fox and Mrs. Reddy. If this was
true, and Peter knew that his cousin
wouldn't have said that it was so
unless 1t was true, 1t was necessary
to have q safe hiding place If he
would stay there.
So Peter busted himself looking for
such a hiding place. There was a hole
under q stump, but 1t wasn't deep
enough and Peter couldn't deepen it,
for the ground was frozen hard.
There was hollow log, but the open
ing at one end was too big; 1t would
be possible for Reddy Fox to squeeze
in after him. He found another hol-
low log buried in the snow, but this
time the opening was just too small.
Peter was beginning to get discour-
aged. There was a pile of brush un-
der which he could hide. but when he
thought of Yowler the Bobcat some
how that pile Of brush didn't seem
as safe as he would like it to be-
He was fearful that Yowler could
tear that brush apart. 1t wasn't
big enough pile and the sticks were
not heavy enough. Peter was almost
ready to give up when he made an
Evening star., 1936-03-26

end he found he could get no far
ther. You see, something heavy had
dropped on that end at some time or
other and had flattened it. Up there
he found q nest that had been made
there some time by a Wood Mouse
There was no Wood Mouse in it then
and Peters nose told him that there
hadn't been one of late.
whoever made this nest hasn't
been using it recently" thought Peter.
Perhaps he was caught by Hooty
the Owl or one of those others Cousin
Jumper says come here so often.
Well, this is just the place for me.
I'll be perfectly safe in here"
Having satisfied himself on that
score, Peter went out. He doesn't like
to stay in such a place when he
doesn't have to. That is the reason
he seldom makes use of a hole in the
ground. His cousins over across the
ocean, the European Rabbits, spend
half their time digging holes. They
live in the ground. It isn't so with
Peter. He and Mrs. Peter prefer to
be above ground. They 60 under
ground only when they have to.
Peter hid under a young hemlock
tree not far from that half-buried
stovepipe. He had hardly squatted
down there comfortably when, peep
ing out, he saw moving shadow. He
knew what made that shadow. So
Peter was quite prepared for the
startling hunting cry Of Hooty the
Great Horned Owl which rang out a
moment later.
Cousin Jumper was right about
Hooty." thought Peter. He probably
won't stay long. I hope he won't,
anyway"
Hooty didn't He had hunted there
so often that he knew that there was
small chance that he would catch
anybody now. Earlier in the season

did what she could. AS a result, her
hair was now somewhat the color OF

were accentuated by dabs of red and
50 were the lines of her lips. She had
plucked out her eyebrows.

honey?" Luke asked as they walked
along.
We'll, it's better than having you
sitting up there on a pole" Marie re-
turned.
You know, kid, I'm doing this all
for you. Every minute I'm sitting up
there I'm thinking about you. Just
one more job and wen have enough

Luke asked.

RE why don't you be lawyer or

"A fellow just can't be banker or

explained Luke.

ness man, then?". countered Marie.
"All right, I'll do it. I'll show you
I'll sacrifice my career for you. I'll

Potato Peril
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.


ct is feared that the soaring potato
prices may remove that vegetable from
the tables of the average American
family)
Keep tab on the grain, Mr.. Roosevelt,
Check the wheat and the barley
and rye,
Restrict, II you will,
The corn in the hill,
Crack down on the turnip supply;
Reduce the production of onions,
Lest too much of the things may be
grown:
Let the pumpkin repine
Unplucked on the vine,
But potatoes = just leave them
alone.
Potatoes-we can't do without them,
A national dish they are now.
Their pungent appeal
Savors every meal.
I'd be glad if I had one right now.
Give a hand to dear old Walter
Raleigh,
Who was first to discover their
worth,
And later became embowered in fame,
Though he passed all too soon from
the earth.
Let patriots gather together,
All folk of one land and one blood;
Let their stern voices rise
To the ambient skies
To hold down the price of the spud.
Like old Mister Nebuchadnezzar
We will nibble the grass if we must;
But do not withhold
What's more precious than gold
We will have our potatoes or bust!

 Arriving at Petersburg the vi5- itors were heartily greeted by Bills Club memb bers and in every place of business welcome signs fashioned of the royal purple and white Elks colors were prominently displayed
 Dinner, which was attended by Bills Club members and their ladies was served in the attractive club rooms to all the visitors. The rooms were too small to permit initiation ceremonies So the Sales Inn, a short way out of town was secured for that purpose.
 While the men were in lodge the Wrangell and Petersburg ladies spent the time at the club rooms in getting acquainted. Following the initiation ceremonies a dance was held at the Inn, private cars and a bus taking the dancers to and fro from town.
 The initiates were Charles E. Wag- ner of Wrangell, Simon Hansen. Kenneth Welde, Leonard R. Swan son, Kenneth Stensland, John Jo- hannesson. Edward Young, Richard Tate, Arnold Linstrom, Leonard F. Martin, John ". Jones, Elmer Swan son and Nels Stensland of Peters burg.
