10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1925 SMALLPOX GAINS THROUGH STATE Malignant TYpe of the Disease Prevails With smallpox three times more pre- valent in the state than it was at this time last year, Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, issued a general vaccination warning to the people of Illinois this week. Since January 1 a total of 914 cases of this loathsome dis- ease has been reported, a number 10 times greater than the total cases re- ported in Massachusetts during the last five years. "A" malignant type of smallpox has appeared in Will county," said Dr. Rawlings, "and has caused seven fatali- ties out of less than 20 cases reported. To date nearly 1000 cases have been reported in the state during this year --a sad commentary on the intelli- gence of certain people in Illinois. "Massachusetts has no smallpox be- cause the authorities there enforce a law that prohibits unvaccinated chil- dren from attending school. Illinois depends on moral suasion to stimulate vaccination and the result is very little vaccination with lots of smallpox. Tt is. simply a question of vaccination or smallpox. One or the other is sure to come sooner or later and the people 2h the ones to decide which it shall e. "Hundreds of years ago smallpox was so horrible and so general that people practiced the custom of inocu- lating infants and voung children with smallpox in the hope that the chil- dren would contract a mild case of the disease and then be immune to the more deadly malignant type. Later it was discovered that anyone can be inoculated with vaccinia, a much milder and non-fatal disease than smallpox, and gain immunity to small- pox. "That is what vaccination now amounts to --a mildly "sore arm" and in return the person gets a license to meet smallpox face to face, anywhere at any time without danger. ("Surveys recently conducted by the department's field staff indicate that léss than 25 per cent of the down- state school population is vaccinated. That sentence explains why the health authorities are forever concerned with smallpox. The state is never free from the disease and it takes an everlast- ing vigilance to keep it within narrow bounds. "Last year malignant smallpox broke out in Minneapolis. It caused nearly 300 fatalities out of about 1000 cases and never subsided until prac- tically 100 per cent of the population was vaccinated. "This vaccination warning is given with no thought to alarm. It is a plain duty to inform the public that there is a positive danger and a sure protection through vaccination. . JACKIE COOGAN'S MEDALS As a result of Jackie Coogan's trip for the Near East Relief to Europe, he came back with a list of honors that in- cluded a silver medal of merit from the Pope, "The Order of St. George" from the Greek State, the "Golden Cross of the Order of Jerusalem" from the Greek Church, and a speech of praise accom- panied by a photograph from Mussolini, the Italian Premier. His latest Metro- Goldwyn picture, "The Rag Man," is coming to Evanston soon. Summer Vacations "FILMO" MOVIE CAMERA Takes pictures as you see them.

This department has ac- cordingly preparcd some suggestions for the motorist who plans on taking an extended trip. In planning a long trip the car should be considered first, and to the needed preparations start at the engine, by grinding the valves and cleaning the carbon. Tighten all bearings, set up every nut and bolt, put on a new fan belt, clean the radiator with a solu- tion of washing soda, go over the gen- erator and starter and know that they are clean and functioning properly; then drain the crank case and start with fresh oil. Go over the wiring system and look for breaks, put in new plugs and new fuses, adjust the breaker points, install new light bulbs and carrv an extra set of fuses and bulbs. The transmission should be drained and filled with new grease. This treatment should also be accord- ed the differential. Do not neglect to have the clutch right, as it is a hard job to have it cleaned and adjusted while on the road. Springs should be cleaned and gra- phited before the start; see that they are well oiled while enroute. Drain your crank case" every 500 miles. Tighten the spring clips and go over them at least three times on the jour- ney; this prevents broken springs. Start out with good ties, six casings and two extra tubes. An essential is a combination of water-gasoline-oil can, that can be fastened to the running board. Water bags are not needed. Drive with the utmost precaution at all times. This does not mean that there are unusual dangers connected with a transcontinental trip, but a little precaution saves time, money and probably lives. What shall I wear? Men and women should be attired in khaki breeches, serge shirt, puttees, heavy shoes and a comfortable cap. Go light, do not carry a great supply of food, for pro- visions can be had anywhere. For a party of four the following camping equipment is necessary: a good sized tent with two double beds and mat- tresses, four blankets for each bed, four small air cushions to be used for pillows, a two burner. gasoline stove, cooking utensils for four, two one quart thermos bottles to carry either coffee or cold water, a saw, an axe, and a small folding shovel, d NOTED KID PLAYER Although he is still just a youngster, Ray Hallor, who plays Jimmy Spelvin in "Sally," Colleen Moore's newest First National vehicle, has ;been- in- pictures for a number of years.

The club trouble shooters advise a thorough inspection of the sys- stem before the motorist starts out on any long summer tours. The starfer and the generator should be inspected for loose or worn bearings, and it will probably be found that they are in need of oil. Battery leads should be inspected for worn places in the in- sulation. New cables should be in- stalled if necessary or perhaps it may suffice to tape the worn places. Battery connections should be removed and cor- rosions scraped off and the posts should be well greased with vaseline. Spark plugs should be taken out and cleaned, and the contact points adjusted for correct distance. A thin dime placed between the points is generally used as a measure of distance. COLLEEN A WOLVERINE GIRL Even back in those "pig-tail" days of Port Huron, Mich., where she was born, Colleen Moore felt the urge to dance. Long before she knew there was such a thing as a motion picture, she was familiar with the strains of good music and her little feet would move at their rhythmic command. So, naturally, lit- tle Colleen became a dance pupil. Her advance was such that fond relatives and friends predicted a great future for her as a danseuse. But at last the time arrived for those twinkling toes to have their "inning." Colleen Moore is starred in "Sally" by First National, and as everyone knows who has seen or read of this noted Zieg- feld stage success, "Sally" is a dancer. F. J. WEIDLING CO.
