DOOLY DOCTOR A
HERO IN EUROPE
Capt. Lupo, of Vienna,
Helps End Smallpox
Scourge
PARIS, Sept. 7—Two American
Red Cross doctors were instrumental
in saving Letvia from an epidemic of
smallpox which recently broke out
1 in the twin cities of Jacobs tadt and
Kreuzberg on the Duna river. They
are Captain Carl Lupo of Vienna,
Georgia and Captain H. Van Renen
Stam of New York City. A report
just received here tells the story of
their achievement which has excited
the admiration and gratitude of all
Lettonia and called forth warm com
mendation from the government of
the little Baltic state. •
Both officers were on duty in Riga
when a hurry call from the Lettish
Ministry of Health reached Red Cross
headquarters announcing an outbreak
of smallpox in the Letvian towns
and stating that the lives of 1,600
persons were endangered. Immediate
medical aid was requested. i
Two hours later the American doc
tors were speeding by automobile to
ward the scene of trouble with a full
outfit of medical equipment and.
enough vaccine to immunize 10,-i
000 persons.
On arrival, the two doctors found i
that the report had been greatly ex-|
aggerate. In the few cases reported
however, the mortality was very
high— 4!2 per cent. To prevent fur
ther spreading among the popula
tion 1,500 persons were vaccinated
and a quarantine established.
The Americans established a con
trol at the ferry connecting the two
towns. Everyone coming across the
Duna river was and is required to
show a certificate of complete vac
cination. Following out the further
recommendations of the American
Red Cross commission the town au
thorities are requiring all travelers
bv boat, road or railroad to show a
certificate of vaccination. The com
mission left vaccine with the local
board of health with the recommend
ation that families in the outlying
districts be vaccinated immediately.
The one doctor in the twin cities
had practically no equipment. The
one drug store had no stock except
half an ounce of tincture of iodine
and some paper bandages.
Following this investigation, the
commission allotted general hospital
and medical supplies to the local
hospital,

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH.
Relief Could Come From Telling
One’s Hidden Secrets.
“I’m about as forlorn as Deb, even
if I did marry the man ladore,” I
thought after Chrys and I had parted.
I walked slowly homeward through
the box labyrinth which separates my.
garden from Ann’s. On my terrace
sat Deb with her eyes fixed on the
great gate at the end of the drive,
through which Jim’s auto was about
to appear.
“This will never do,” I admonished
myself. “It hurts Deb to cork up
her emotions just as it hurts me to
cover up my own troubles. I’ve nev
er told a single soul about my quar
rels with Bob, but maybe it would
be a good thing for Deb and me to
exchange confidences. Anyway, I
can’t let that poor girlie catch a
single glimpse of her knight and his
chosen lady this morning’!’
I hurried to her and put an arm
around her.
“Let’s go over to the lily pool,”
I said. “It’s cooler there!”
“Perhaps I’ll go,” Deb stopped a
little quaver in her voice, “after I’ve
used your phone.”
“In the alcove under the stairs,”
I directed her.
While she looked up a number, my
mind whirled on: Getting Deb to
confess her grief and confiding my
own to her was all in accordance with
the new theory that certain kinds of
emotional distress are actually re-i
lieved if the victim, owns up to the
right person. It is an ancient prac-i
tice proved scientific in modern
times. By telling one’s hidden se
crets. expressing the repressed, one’s
physical condition as well as one’s
mental distress relieved, it is said. A
woman who weeps out her woe to a
comprehending friend is curing her
self. up to a certain point, at least.
“I feel so much better,” says the
person who has told his sorrows.
There’s a limit to confidence, of
course. Silly sufferers who re-tell
their troubles only exaggerate their
hurts and intensify them. Then they
revert to their original state.
The obsessed victim of hopeless
love corks up his emotion until it
ferments. If he. gets starrier and
sorrier for himself, he actually de
velops a poison in his system.
Deborah Burns suddenly ceased to
act as if she felt sorry for herself,
nevertheless, I decided to guard her
that morning. The change was onlv
on the surface. I looked back to
the time when T was about her Own
age. What if I had loved Bob with
out being loved in return?
“Goodness! It isn’t too late for
■ that to happen now!” said mv sad
heart to itself. Incidentally, I de-
cided to apply the new theory about
emotional control. I had been
watching my own emotions too close
ly. I knew very well that I could
avoid fits of hysteria if I tried.
“Hysteria is absurd,” I thought.
“And so primitive! We ridicule our
grandmothers because they fainted
away whenever they could find an
excuse for it. Fainting used to be
a 'fashionable 'fad but no woman
faints for fun nowadays. Sometime,
I suppose, hysteria over what a hus
band does, or does not, will be so
old-fashioned that a woman of sense
will be positively ashamed to own
up to it!”
It suddenly occurred to me that
Katherine Miller never had hysterics!
Probably she had no nerves. It al
so was borne in upon my sould that
my husband might find a certain kind
of peace in her calmness even if it
was that of a half-developed brain.
And because the thought hurt me,
I dwelt upon it!

In Same Drawing Room
ATLANTA, Sept. 7.—A certain
Georgia gentleman of prominence
found himself stranded in Millen
Saturday night. He had wired Sa
vannah for a lower berth in the night
train to Atlanta, but had been in
formed that the Pullman was reserv
ed solid. He must either ride the
day coach or stay at Millen.
It happened that a certain other
Georgia gentleman also of promi
nence was in Millen Saturday after
noon but he had made his reserva-

of prominence, unfortunately, were
not on the best of terms with each
other. They thought so little of each
other that they had been traveling j

One of them said the other was

He accused the other of being a

candidate, a man without a platform.
