1,4O0 colored children in the same age
group were unprotected. Parents had
been equally neglectful with regard
to protection against smallpox. Half
of the children had not been vacci-
mated.
eve can be sure of having our at
tention directed to the need for pro-
lection against diphtheria, through
the cases that occur-and occur I'M
necessarily. Last year, there were
over 400 cases reported in the State.
But we hear so little about smallpox
unless we travel to other parts of
the country-that we are likely to
have a false sense of security so far
as that disease is concerned.
"Only one case of smallpox has been
reported in the State in the last five
years, 1882 1886, inclusive. That
single case marred the record for 1885
But while we were free from the di-
seases, it was-and is-prevalent else
where. During the first eighteen
weeks of this present year, nearly
5000 cases occurred in different parts
of the country. The disease was
widely distributed-22 states were
represented in the total. Nobody is
safe from smallpox who has not been
vaccinated against it.
"Our State Law requires all children
to be vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore they may be entered in any pub
lie school in the State. The State has
been kept comparatively free from
smallpox, largely through the obser-
vance of this law. Parents as a rule
cooperate readily and all they need
is reminder that it must be done.
''That's the reason for this remind

ASSAY STATION GETS RESPONSE
 AT KETCH!KAN
Office to Be Functioning Within Two Weeks, Says
 Commissioner Stewart

Reporting that the new Terri irrial Department of Mines Assay Office at Ketchikan should be ready to start functioning actively with in two weeks, B. D. Stewart, Com missioner of the department, re- turned to Juneau from Ketchikan yesterday aboard the motorship Northland.
 MT. Stewart had been absent from his headquarters here for about six weeks. the first two weeks of which time was spent in Seattle selecting equipment for the office at Ketchl- kan; after which he then took part of his annual leave of absence in order to remain in Seattle while his wife was receiving medical atten- ton. While Mrs. Stewart remained in Seattle, he came north to Ket- chikan two weeks ago. then joined his wife aboard the Northland to return to Juneau with her.
 Enthusiastic Reception
 MT. Stewart reports that the of fi-o at Ketchjkan is being received with enthusiasm by Ketchikan res idents, and that samples for assay ~.o already piling up on hand, waiting for when the office will be ready to function. Some Ketchi- kan residents remarked to him that the office would without doubt be one of the most beneficial services established in that city.
 The office at Ketchikan is being established in a building that is jointly occupied by the offices of the Tax Collector and the Red Cross Considerable alteration to the building was necessary, MT. Stewart said, in order to house the assay office also, including the lay ing of new foundations to support heavy mining equipment. Although the work is still in progress, it was nearing completion when he left there, he said, and he is confident that the assayer appointed to head that office will be able to bring the work to completion without diff culty.
 JOhanssOn in Charge
 The asSayer appointed to fill the Ketchikan post is Nils JohansSon, who for the last several years has been with w. E. Dunkle at the Willow Creek mine group; going there from the old Kennecott Cop Der mine at Latouche. Prior to that, MT. Johansson was a chemist for the Superior Portland Cement com pany. giving him many years of ex- pefience in the sort of work the post will require MT. JohansSon will perform the work of the Ketchikan office alone, for the present, MT Stewart stated The office there will undoubtedly receive big re- sponse.
 Fairbanks Office Flooded
 The assay office at Fairbanks, which the Territory took over from the U. S. Geological Survey on July 1, is at present flooded with work, Mir Stewart declared. and it is pos sible that nearly 200 ore samples sent there by field men of the de- partment will have to be transferred to the Ketcnikan office for assay( when that begins to function The office at Fairbanks has been oper- ated by the Geological Survey since being discarded by the U. s.

Major Charles Spencer Hart (above), of Bronxville, New York publisher, author and prominent in advertising circles for many years, has been elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the B. P O. Elks at their 73rd national convention at Den yer, Colorado.
 For many years MT. Hart has been active in the affairs of the Grand Lodge of the Elks, having served as Exalted Ruler of his home lodge, Mt. Vernon. New York, and as District Deputy for his district, which comprises the ElkS lodges of Westchester County, New York.
 Five Point Program
 As national leader of the Elks, he is, for the term of his admins tration, directing the civic activities of the Order to a five point pro- gram, the chief features of which are the elimination of un-Ameri- can doctrines, and what is perhaps of more immediate importance, a determined effort to reduce traffic accidents. In his initial conference with the delegates of 1872 Elk lodg- es assembled at Denver, he called for the support of the entire order in a plan to eliminate at least one known danger spot" in every com munity where an Elks Club is To- cated. He further stressed the fact that there are few, if any, com- that do not harbor such road hazards which through the in- fluence of local Elks can be elim- mated.
 Danger Spot"
 Said MT. Hart: If the 500,000 Elks in our more than 1900 com munities can succeed in doing away with at least one place dangerous to motor traffic, we will have elim- mated 1900 places of possible acci- dent and death to the people of those communities, and as a meas ure of good citizenship we should, as a body, work toward that end. We all deplore the rising toll of traffic accidents, but as yet have made no concerted effort to do any, thing about it. By working on the problem of local danger spots, we, as an order, can help effect sub stantial reduction of such acci- dents"
 Death Toll
 Since 1925 more than 350,00O
