While his life was In danger, the grief of the
performers was mingled with increased forcboding.
The eliminating disaster the afternoon of

Hence, it against the Big Top, rather than
the circus itself, that they had invoked the
geance OF the tribal deity.
"a. Il guess that takes care of the ink" said the
SideshoW man.
No educated people inclined to believe in
such things as hoodoos and jnXes.
To scientists the curse of the Ubangi women
would be just much piffle But circus people are
no scientists but ordinary folks.
What do think of it personally?
Well I've Ubangi witch doctors operate on

One of the sideshow men had re-

by the Ubangi women on that fateful
night in 1882. BY curious chance, a
week after the fire, he learned the
rest of it directly from the only per-
son in this country who pos
sessed the information.

cases are now treated first, and
usually successfully, with sulfa
drugs, the action of which is not
specific. That is, it seems to act
on all types of pneumococci.
But sometimes it is necessary to
use immune serum in combina-
ton with a sulfa drug or to sub
stitute the serum for the drug
in order to save a patients life.
By sending a sample of the pa
tents sputum or blood to a Ia
boratory the physician can
quickly find out what type of
pneumonia is present and can
begin without delay the kind of
treatment indicated.
Skilled medical and nursing
care are essential for all pneu-
monia cases. Since restlessness
adds to the danger, the patient
should be relieved of feeding
and moving himself and should
be spared all possible anxiety.
Pneumonia is a communicable
disease. No one should enter the
sickroom except those who are
responsible for the care of the
patient. This will ensure the
quiet needed and will help keep
down the spread of infection.

Thomas r. Wells
Guest Speaker AT
Rotary Session

Thomas r. Wells. superintend-
dent of Pascagoula schools, en-
tertained Pascagoula Rotary club
members and guests with ex-
cerpts from a book he is COM
piling on early education on the
Gulf Coast, at the weekly lunch
con session of the club Wednes-
day at the Community House.
A. p. May, president of the
club, presided and introduced
visiting Rotarians and guests.
He then turned the meeting over
to Baylous Stokes, program lead
er, who introduced Mr.. Wells.
Prior to Mr.. Wells talk, the
basis for which is a book he is
compiling on Development of
Education on the Mississippi
Gulf Coast Prior to 1900" he
read a letter from Ralph M.
Purcell, former Rotarian, who is
now somewhere in France with
the armed forces.
Mr.. Wells told of the landing
of D'Iberville near Ocean Springs
in 1899, where the capital of the
territory was briefly established
before moving to Biloxi.
The English and Spanish both
contributed to the culture and
early education of the section,
nc said, and told Of the first
school established on the coast
Of which there is a record,
Shieldsborough Academy at Pass
Christian in 1918. The first pri-
vate chartered school on record
in the section, he said, was JEFF
ferson College, near Natchez,
which was established in 1902.
Old records turn up some in
teresting facts, MFR. Wells said,
in telling Of the six schools in
operation in this section in 1850
with a total of six teachers
whose combined yearly income
was $703.
He also told of the establish
ment of the University of Mis-
sissippi in 1910 when Mississippi
City, near Gulfport, and Oxford,
were voted on by the State Leg
islature as the site OF the school.
The Gulf Coast lost the chance
TO having the states major edu-
cational institution when the
Legislature voted 1887 70 es-
tablish it at Oxford.
He also told of early eduea-
tionaH institutions in both Moss
Point and Pascagoula, including
Live Oak Academy at the for
mel and Scranton Academy at
the latter.

Rofe Reduced By
Use OF SuIfo Drugs

The onset of pneumonia is
likely to be sudden. 1t is pre-
coded in a great majority of
cases by a severe or long-con-
tinued cold or an attack of in
fluenza. Apparently a cold or
some other acute infection of the
upper respiratory tract makes
the lungs more than usually sus-
ceptible to attack.
In recent years the pneumonia
death rate has been substanti-
ally reduced by the use of sulfa
drugs and immune serum. Most
