Rheumatic Fever Now
A Reportable Disease

At the regular meeting of the State
Board of Health on September %,
1913, rheumatic fever was added to
the list of reportable diseases, ac-
cOrding to an announcement just made
by Dr. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health. The i'm
portance of this disease and its
Gripping heart complications is
shown by the fact that among chill
dren between the ages of five and
fourteen years of age in Maryland,
rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart
disease caused more deaths than any
other disease except tuberculosis. Its
Importance is further indicated by the
fact that infantile paralysis, generally
regarded as one of childhood's great
est menaces, in recent years caused
less than one-tenth as many fatalities
among children in this age group.
The cause of rheumatic fever has
not been discovered, but it is known
that this illness tends to run in GER
tain families. In the United States in
1871 there were 497 deaths from rheu-
matte fever between the ages of five
to twelve and 1,2O6 deaths in the
same age group from tuberculosis. In
Maryland for the same year there
were thirteen deaths in the age group
from five to fourteen from rheumatic
fever and thirty deaths from tuber-
culosis in the same age group.

Suddenly Marietta s mind cleared.
She had never been fond of Vernon,
the old crackpotl She had been
carried away by his promise of a
life dedicated to beauty, a studio
with atmosphere" which she had
visualized as a lovely Seventeenth
century affair. Some artists did
have them. She'd seen them in the

She slapped her felt on her curls,
conscious that the Madame's broWs
had arched, shocked; conscious that
Jim's eyes were burning into her
profile.
She jumped to her feet She cried:

And the Madame, who was
Russian and could speak not

But Marietta didn't wait to be
asked to leave, she was already
on her way down the seven

VERNON and Marietta proceeded

like a starving genius, was above

The Madame opened the door her

of grimy cheesecloth and thrust a
nondescript head and a gaudy body
from under the wells. Leaning on a
golden staff, she nodded regally, or
at least as regally as two hundred
pounds can nod.
The studio was unspeakably dark
and dirty, and when Vernon pulled
up a frail chair Marietta settled her
ninety-eight pounds in it with some
misgivings After they were all
seated, looking at one another, say

clapping her hands.
In answer to the pudgy palms,
two Negro boys, in dirty white

NEW YORK. June 1t looks as
if Bing Crosby will have to concen-

Yesterday by the "Galloping Gaucho'
from the Argentine, Don Blngo.
The Gaucho is a horse the crooner
and his California partner, Lin
Howard, didn't even know they were
buying when they spent $500 for
his nanny four years ago. But he
paid off yesterday by bouncing in
with the 57th running of the Sub
urban Handicap and picking up an
easy $4,000 at Belmont in the big
gest betting day in racing history
1t was so big, in fact, that the
mythical 100000 day. which up to

Special Correspondent Of The star
DEVON. Pa, June 1.-The third of
the local trio of dog shows was the
most favored by the weather, al
though unfortunately nothing could
be done about the soggy ground
which turned all three affairs into
muddy marathon However, the
largest crowd of the three days
stayed to watch the climax of the
judging and applauded the decision
of Henry Koebler when he picked
the black cocker spaniel Oh. Ty
Cobb's Favorite Girl as the best in
show. The lineup against her diff

tenders Of the two preceding days.
They were, from the hound group,

from the working group, Julius
Crafts bobtail, Kings Messenger;
from the terrier group, an 8-month-
old Manchester terrier. Canyon
Crest's Stewardess, owned by Will
liam Kendrick; from the toy group
Mrs. James Austin's white toy poo
die, Caretina of Muriclar, and from
the transporting group, the Boston
terrier. Yankee Sweet Perfection
owned by Harry Freedman.
The three Devon shows certainly
were lucky for Washington bulldog
fanciers. The third one brought

Horseshoe Champs
Battle Saturday in
Special Jousts

Competition will be resumed to-
night On the Federal Horseshoe
League on the Commerce Building
courts, on Fifteenth street NV,
near Constitution avenue, but the
ringerites are looking more inter-
estedly to a set of special contests
next Saturday night at 8 o'clock on
the same layout.
Among the principals will be the
four major champions of this area,
Clayton C.. Henson of Arlington,
Metropolitan titleholder; Clair
Lacey, champion of Southern Mary
land; Ed Baranowski, champion OF
Northern Virginia, and Irwin Carl
berg, District titleholder.
In the feature Henson will oppose
Carlberg. Lacey will meet Lee
Fleshman, ST., whom he deposed for
the Maryland title; Baranowski will
take on his predecessor as Virginia
champ, Charley Howery, and Walter
Haley, Washington star, will meet
Lee Fleshman, jr., juvenile ace OF
Maryland.
Some of the flashiest ringer toss
ing of the season is assured. These
matches will usher in series OF
horseshoe shows leading up to a
servicemen's tournament to be
staged by the Federal Horseshoe
Pitchers Association in July. Dur
ing this Henson, one of the cleverest
horseshoe pitchers in the country
may meet Pvt. Vito Fileccia OF

ing the major leagues something to
remember them by.
Stephens left the Browns yester-
day in the middle of the second
game Of a double header at Boston
to go to Long Beach, Calf, for his
induction eXam. If he passes he
will have played his last game of the
season, but his ,376 batting average
is not likely to be forgotten soon.
Stephens, shortstop who switched
to the outfleld for his last few games
after recovering from knee injury,
mas led the American League in
hitting from the start of the season
and no other slugger has ap-
preached his pace. Oris Hockett of
Cleveland is in second place with
$50.
Dahlgren is newcomer to the
top spot in the National League
with 1868 average. He was noti-
fed a few days ago that he had
passed his preliminary physical test
and would be eligible for induction
in the next quota of his Philadelphia
Draft Board, probably in July.
Dahlgren boosted his batting av-
erage q points in week and
