other great outfits Of Pershing's
army.
THIS aroused deep personal
Il interest and tremendous en-
thusiasm among the people at
home. but nowadays with the
names of units carefully sup
pressed and the whereabouts
and the doings of these units
matter of great secrecy. the
folks hear nothing and do not
have that sense of contact with
their boys in the lines.
Unless the enemy is much
durnber than the one in the
other world war and cannot
learn the identity of the forces
pouring down on him if il is
kept out of the papers, I think
the secrecy a mistake from the
standpoint of home morale.
I believe in the exploitation OF
our officers and men, individu-
ally and collectively, when cir
cumstances justify, because in
my opinion publicity Of that
nature is tonic to the home
folks.
They want to read about the
human interest phases of the
war which they can understand
better than they can by COM
muniques of movement, and TO
that end I think the censorship
in both branches of the services
should be revived 10 point
where. without violating the
purpose Of censorship. the cor
respondents can tell us more Of
the goings-on.

The Brighter Side
BY Damon RunyOn

The war correspondents with
our own American forces are
given little leeway in writing
their stories. hence we have had
few OF the detailed and colorful
dispatches that are permitted
out of Russia. and from other
battle fronts.
The upshot, in my opinion, is
the loss of great uplifting in
fluence for morale at home.
IN WORLD WAR /, the corre-
L spondents with our troops
we're permitted to write about
the various divisions taking part
in the action and about the units
and individuals thereof, and in
fact every division had its own
correspondents from newspapers
in the section of the nation the
division represented. and the
people at home felt they were in
direct touch with their boys at
the 'front.'.
At first all this information
was carefully suppressed by the
censors on the ground that the
enemy would learn what forces
were confronting them but pres
emily it was discovered that the
enemy had the same complete
data on our forces that we had
on his, so less and less impor-
tance was attached TO this point
and the people at home heard all
about the Lost Battalion of the
nth division and Of the mighty
lunges of the First and Second
divisions through the Argonne
and about Massachusetts 26th
and Michigan-W isconsin's 32d
and New York's 9th and all the

QUERIES from clients:
VI Q-What do you think Of an
ex-husband and ex-wife keeping
on working together as partners
or in the same office?
At often works out all
right.
However, if they marry
again, and they usually do, the
arrangement is apt 10 cause
concern 10 their new mates.
In many cases of divorced
couples there is. as the old song
had il. "A little spark Of love
still burning"
And sometimes con inuous
propinquity causes that spark 10
be ignited and burst into a
flame.
Q-Let us have more about
your Horses and Women Depart
ment.
OF what value is it TO know
a horse had a fast morning
workout?
Acknowledge of workouts is
OF wonderful value.
Cheap horses hardly ever run
up 10 their workouts.
When a stake horse has an
unusually fast workout il may
mean he has reached his peak
in the workout and will be be-
low top form in his next face.
Selections based on actual
past performances in competi.
ton are always the best.

AN OLD old saying is:

doing q thing-the right way and

4 n OLD old saying is:
"A There are two ways OF
doing q thing-the right way and
the army way"
This applies to army method,
not 10 the personnel Of the army.
1t describes the thick-witted
manner in which army method
deals with a problem, say, for
instance, censorship.
Army censorship is usually
pretty dumb.
Mind you. I say censorship,
not censors, as censors do not
make the rules of censorship
but only carry them out and
most censors are smart fellows
who realize the dumbness of the
rules as much as the corre-
spondents TO whose copy the
rules apply.
THE idea of censorship is, OF
l. course. 10 Withhold informa-
tionh that might prove Of value
to the enemy and with that idea
no one will quarrel.
However, it is on the question
OF what constitutes information
of value to the enemy that army
censorship displays its dumbness,
and. / might add. navy censor
ship, too.
In this war practically all
information seems TO be deemed
of possible value to the enemy
and the result is the entire situa-
ton is shrouded in such mystery
as TO make it practically pri-
vate war concerning only our
master-minds in Washington.
The general public is not in
on the know" as the saying is.

There is perfectly definite
way 10 prevent the spread OF
smallpox, which is universal vac
cination.
In any community where there
Is universal vaccination there is
absolutely no danger OF the
spread of smallpox.
nURING my army experience
IL in 1917 we had a number OF
draftees brought into the camp
who had a fever.
They were put TO bed in a
general ward.
In the course OF few hours
or days the skin eruptions ap-
peared so that therr was no
doubt in anybody's mind that
they were dealing with smallpox.
Gn the prodromal period there
Is fever and no eruption so that
mistakes are likely 10 happen.
but this is the most contagious
period of the disease.)
But there was never the
slightest worry about these cpl
sodes because everybody in the
army was vaccinated.
We did not have even the YES
tige OF an epidemic from any
one OF them.
IN SPITE OF all the warnings
L and admonitions from public
health authorities TO have chill
dren vaccinated, in spite of the
fact that vaccination is supposed
10 be compulsory in public
school. we find every once in
while that we have in the United
States a very large unvaccinated
population.
In Kansas City. where I live,
we were visited about 1921 with
a very virulent epidemic of
black, or hemorrhagic smallpox.
There were so many deaths
that people became frightened
and the waiting room OF my
office and that of every other
physician ] knew 1 was crowded
with people, not only children
but people up 10 the age OF 40,
who had never been vaccinated.
i have no doubt that If such
a situation arose today. we
would find just as large a num-
