BY LOGAN CLENDENING. M. d

Smallpox seems remote and
impersonai danger but at-any-
time il may become a real one.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
freedom against smallpox, and
in any population where small
pox vaccination is allowed to
lapse, there Is constant danger
of a recurrence of an epidemic.
Smallpox sleeps. but IL does
not die. Some place somewhere
indeed. in many places every
where-there is somebody carry
ing around the virus of smallpox.
We had an example few
years ago of a travelling show
which was nearly disorganiZcd
because a case of smallpox
broke out in the midst of its
unvaccinated membership, and
rapidly spread all over.
You'll say that you have never
seen a case of smallpox. Maybe
you have, and m aybe you
haven't.
Not so very many years ago,
an Indiana health officer noticed
the following heading in the
paper from a certain city in
Indiana:
POX SCOURGE
"The scourge OF chicken pox
which began early In the Fall
continues to increase in viru-
lence. Many OF the patients be-
come completely covered with
pustules and the head and neck
are so swollen rs to make the
patient unacceptable.
There have been at least 800
cases: many OF them resembling
smallpox. Some OF the patients
are apt to go on until II be-
comes rs bad rs smallpox"
A photograph of one of these
cases of Chicken pox" was sent
10 the health officer at his re-
quest. No photograph could
ever have illustrated more
beautiful full-blown case OF
SmallDoX.

Hess IS TERMED
DIFFICULT GUEST
BRITISH PRISONER DEMANDS
SPECIAL FOOD; HARD TO
QUESTION

LONDON, May 21.-The for
eign office today admitted that
Rudolf Hess, No. 3 Nazi fuehrer
who dropped to earth in England
more than a week ago in a para
chute, is proving a difficult guest
What Hess has told British Of
ficials about German plans and
conditions never has been di-
vulged, but men who have talked
with him said he SIS hard to ques-
ton"
Another point of contention is
said to be Hess demands for spe-
cial food at the hospital where he
is recovering from broken
ankle, suffered when he landed.
According to his captors, Hess
makes no secret of his displeasure
at the meals served him, offering
to pay for other food.

Charles deGaulle's Free French"
army in Africa today faced de-
tention as German prisoners OF
war. If it is proved they actual
lY had enrolled in the service
before leaving New York aboard
the Egyptian liner canaan.
Announcing for the first time
that the :3OO-odd survivors of the
sunken liner have been taken to
a French camp on the Atlantic
coast, seven miles north of the
Spanish border, German Off
Gals said they would study the
cases of the volunteer ambulance
drivers.
Others of the 1913 United

missionaries, are expected to go
to Portugal, embarking there for
the return trip to New York.
German officials explained
that il is difficult to transport
the ship survivors to a neutral
port at this time and would set
no date for their probable ar
rival in Lisbon. How long the
Survivors have been in the French
camp is unknown, since Berlin
has not announced uhcn the
Zamzam was sunk.

26 days when the first an
