Burns back to town in role which
is being hailed as the best of his
career. When the picture is pre-
scented locally for the first time

Bob will be seen as a man who
is lawyer by profession, philo-
sopher by instinct, real dyed-in-

in the principals of democracy, of

AS in his other starring success,
Bob is once more aided by a grand

them are Susan Hayward and
Joseph Allen, Jr., members of the
Golden Circle" select group of
young Paramount players slated
for stardOm, cast as BObs daugh-

school age, the responsibility for
having it done rests with the
parents After that it is shared
by the teachers and other school
authorities. Any teacher, school
trustee or commissioner of public
school who adfits child who
has not been successfully vaccinat-
ed against smallpox is liable to a
fine of $40.
There have been only two
cases of smallpox officially re-
ported in Maryland in the last
ten years-one in 1881 which was
contracted in California; and the
other in 1885, the diagnosis Of
which was doubted by those
familiar with the disease. With
these two exceptions, the slate is
clean fdr smallpox in Maryland
for 1880, 1882, '33, "a, '35, SO, 81,
'3S, and up to the present in 1899.
THE situation is very different
in other parts of the country,
particularly those in which vac
cination against smallpox is not
required by law. The reports of
the United States Public Health
Service show that NEARLY 1900
people in the United States had
smallpox in 1888. In the last ten
years there have been over $4,000
cases. For the past five years
there has been a steady Increase.
while it is true that the MAORI
ty of the cases have occurred in
the West, North West, CentraL
South West, and Southern States,
residence in other sections of the
country is no safeguard against
the disease. The travel habit is
so general that contrary to Kip
ling, East and West meet every
day. The disease is highly in
fictitious and the only protection

Vaccination Is Necessary
For School Attendance,
Says DR.. Riley

Among the blanks to which the
State Department of Health points
with considerable pride are the
zeroes in the record for smallpox
in the State for the past ten years
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
Department, calls attention to the
record in a message to parents
whose children will start to school
this fall. Don't forget" he said,
that our Maryland law requires
every child to be vaccinated be-
tore he or she may be enrolled in
ahv public school in the State. If
you have neglected this for your
small son or daughter, don't put
it off any longer. Go to your
doctor and have it done at once.

law. physicians are expected to

against it, is vaccination.
Our Maryland law yas en-
acted in 1864. 1t is based on pre-
vention through vaccination in
infancy, and our practical freedom
from the disease has been due
largely to the intelligent cooper
alton of parents with the health
authorities in the observance of the
vaccination requirements But
there are always some who are in
clined to put it off until some con-
venient time. Their children are

and look for him." He went, very slowly.
Annette was tall girl, smart, very slick.
She had good job in the city and came home
weekends in her own two-seater to tell her
parents how stupid they were and how out OF
date Mr. and Mrs. Ledbury loved her, for she
was all they had. But they often found it hard
to remember that this terrifying young woman
was the baby they had once greeted with
such joy.
1t was difficult to remember exactly when
she had gone sour on them. 1t seemed to have
had something to do with Crispin Gaunt
Exactly what had happened they did not
know. They probably never would know.
Annette talked good bit but not about that
For time Crispin had danced attendance
on her. Folks said Crispin- n-and-Annette the
way folks do. Then suddenly Crispin melted
away. When he met Mr. Ledbury around the
village he was just as usual, a charming boy
with nice manners. But he did not come to
the house any more.
1t wasn't that he had got another girl.
That also, Mr.. Ledbury knew. In an English
village you know most things about your
neighbors.
From her bedroom window, Annette herself
often watched Crispin coming and going -
and felt like crying. He had been her first
love. She loved him still, and did not know
how she had lost him. She blamed her parents,
felt that somehow they had put him off.
Very splendid was Annettes bedroom. 1t
might have belonged to film star. 1t had
built-in cupboards silk curtains, white rugs.
The remainder of the Ledbury's house was on
the Spartan side. belonging to the fumed-oak
school of thought. That luxurious corner in
the midst of it was as if bird of paradise
had come to roost with couple of rocks.
Annette had been lovely at eighteen, with
the wistful sweetness of Ganymede, but now
her face had a hard look. She was becoming
set in her ways When Mrs. Ledbury had
suggested taking in three poor ladies from
Austria who advertised for temporary home,
Annette had refused to allow it. She did not
want the house messed up, she said and they
did not dare cross her. They were candidly
frightened of her. They knew she despised
them, and it dated somehow, from the evening
of the Bachelors Ball.
1t was seven years ago now, but it seemed
a lifetime Crispin had been staying in the
house with them. Pipes had burst in the win
ter and spoit his ceilings, and it had been
Crispins own suggestion that they should put
him up during repairs. Annette knew now
that he wanted to spy out the land, to see
what sort of family they were, and that he
had weighed them in the balance and found
them wanting. That was the humiliating
thing
Everyone had thought he would propose

IN THE aerodrome five men and girl were
struggling with the police. People hurried
u over to watch. The waiting liner looked
like large grasshopper surrounded by
petulant ants running this way and that.
What wrong?" asked ground mechanic.
Foreigners, said the policeman. Refugees

and bunked over here, but they haven't got

He had a small man by the arm; little
square man with protruding eyes and neat
beard The little man gesticulated with short
ugly hands and talked excitedly. but the
language wasn't one that anybody under
stood The policeman held on to him gingerly,
as boy does who has caught rabbit he
must not let go but doesn't want to hurt.
All five refugees looked harmless enough.
There was tall boy with poets head and
desperate eyes, There was girl with tears
streaming down her face. The young mechanic
looked away; he didn't like it. What was the
world coming to nowadays? Things like this
ought not to happen.

one of them," he said
Il don't like this sort of thing" said the
policeman Like as not we are sending them
back to their deaths"
The little man squirmed; it was plain he
was explaining something at great length. but
what it was no one would ever know. He made
vague movements, like playing fiddle.
The tall young man with the poets head
threw up his hands and fell forward. Tainted.
Poor devil" said the policeman. He let 60 of
the bearded man and went to help. The crowd
thickened, pressing closer to see. Beside the
young mechanic, the little man with the beard
stood dazed.
"If he'd any sense" thought the boy,
"now's his chance" He edged closer. He
pushed himself between the little man and
the crowd He jerked an oily thumb over his
shoulder. Beat it." he said hoarsely.
The bearded man was crying. 1t was ter
rible. Distressing sounds came from the
ground where the young man with the poets
head lay moaning. Fancy being 50 frightened
you tainted! The young mechanic pushed the
bearded man roughly with his elbow, trying to
make him understand.
1t dawned on the bearded man suddenly.
His protruding eyes grew incredulous With
out warning he threw his arms round the
young mechanics neck and kissed him. Then
he was gone Gone as if magic wand, tipped
with India rubber, had erased him. The crowd
thinned, making way for the ambulance.
Nov then, where's that other chap" said
the policemen. The one l had. Where's he
got to-"
There was no one but young mechanic
with angry eyes, rubbing his cheek. How
should know where he's got to-" said he.

Activities were started this

the naval station, with a force of
men under the direction of l.. M.

that the work would be done by
