E XT R E M E LY CONTAGIOUS
No Connection With Smallpox,
and Vaccination Does Not
Render Persons Immune.
Chicken pox, a disease especially
of children, Is discussed in the latest
official bulletin of the State Board of
'Health, issued yesterday. The bul
letin in telling how to prevent and
care for the disease says:
Although chicken pox is regarded
a« one of the natural ailments inci
dent to childhood, there are several
important reasons why parents
should exercise all the cares that
would be taken with a more danger
ous epidemic disease
In the fii^t place, while chicken pox
when properly treated leaves no per
manent ^Sisflgurment of the skin, if
neglected or permitted to become se
vere it may leave scars or pock
marks similar to the pits that come
from smallpox. All that Is usually
necessary to prevent the scars Is
proper medical attention and the ex
erciee of care to prevent the patient
from scratching the eruptions. If
small children persist in scratching,
it is a good idea to put mittens on
their hands. Itching may be alle
viated by carbolized and lyarm baths,
and the application of oil may be
vised to hasten the separation of the
crusts. *
Possibility of Complimations.
Another reason why chicken pox
cases should be given careful atten
tion is the fact that while severe ill
ness or death seldom if ever occurs
/in an uncomplicated case, there is
' always a possibility of complications
that might lead to serious results,
rpnipljeations are rare, but when they
do occur they consist usually of
pneumonia, erysipelas and Inflamma
tion of the kidneys (nephritis). Not
infrequently chicken pox is compli-
rated by some other infectious dis-
r */ase, but this, however, is more of
a coincidence than a true complica
tion:
Another reason for exercising spec
ial care in Chicken pox cases, and it
is the most important reason of all
from the standpoint of community
welfare, is the fact that the disease
is highly contagious, and when the
children of a family, or a school or
a neighborhood have been once ex
posed to it, scarcely any individual
who has not had the disease escapes
contagion. The disease Is usually
communicated in the ordinary inter
course of children in the family, the
school or the playgrounds. While
i grown people are not entirely im
mune, it is usually confined to chil
dren. The poison is eliminated not
only from the surface of the body and
the crusts broken from the eruption,
but even from Jfhe air which the per
son breathes. It is believed by phy
sicians that it can enter the body
by- way of the respiratory passages.
Direct contact, therefore, is not nec
essary, .the infection being communi
cated to some little distance by the
air; it can also be carried more re-
-riiotely by persons who do not con
tract the disease themselves but who
transmit it to persons who are more
susceptible.
Isolation Important.
. The importance of isolation
'sanitary precautions, in the light of
, the disease’s highly contagious na-
ture, becomes immediately manifest.
Isolation should be practiced, and the
quarantine should be prolonged unti’
.the last crusts are thrown off. Dis-
♦ infection of the person, clothing and
• » ,pk,rtirient is desirable to minimize
the danger of spreading the disease.
These measure^, qjid the treatment
of the disease, should be carried out
under the direction of a physician.
Chicken pox Is" ordinarily an easy
disease to diagnose. It develops
from ten to sixteen days after ex
posure. The first indication is us
ually, the appearance of small, bright
red spots, which rapidly develop into
x water blisters called vesicles. They
W vary in size, the largest being about
T the* diameter of a split pea. These
• vesicles are on the surface of the
skin and do not go deep. Usually
there is no suppuration or pus. The
disease is often accompanied by
slight fever. Surrounding each ves
icle is a narrow bright red ring
. called an areola. They come out
in crops on the body; sometimes on
file face and scalp; and, occasional
ly, even in the mucous membrane of
the mouth. The blisters seldom go
on to pustulation. but rapidly dry up
after, lh*- fluid in them becomes
opaque. In addition to slight fever
ishness there may be loss of appe
tite, aching feeling, and catarrhal in-
fianitnation.
Duration Variable.
The duration of the attack is va
riable. Three or four weeks is us
ually the extreme limit before the
separation of the last crusts. Re-
lapses do not occur. Immunity from,
future attacks is practically perma
nent.
But it must be understood that
chicken pox has no relation whatever
to; smallpox, and the fact that a pa
tient has had one oX them before,
never protects from the other.
The medical name of chickenpox is
varicella. It was once regarded as
a greatly modified and mild form of
unallpox, but it is now known as an
entirely distinct disease. One of
these diseases never gives rise to the
• other. The attack of one confers no
\ immunity against the other; vaccina -
■ tion affords no protection against
chickenpox, and children who have
recently suffered from chickenpox re
act to vaccination in the ordinary 1
manner. 1
WASHINGTON, May 10. The days
of old France, when the magnificent
grounds at Versailles were thronged
with courtiers and beautiful women,
bid fair to be outdone In Washing
ton in this year of grace 1913. during
the reign of Mrs. Wilson and her
daughters at the White House. For
the first time in the memory of
Washington society, the President’s
wife is to hold State garden parties.
The first was held on Friday. Then
there will be two others, next Friday
and May 23. This will bring the so
cial season Into June, and what will
then be forthcoming has not yet been
disclosed.
Winter Functions Heretofore.
For years It has been the custom
*of the President to hold four big
State functions during the winter, to
which Washington official society is
Invited. But when these are over,
the official season may be said to be
at an end. Outside of private din
ners and dances, things are quiet at
the White House during the spring
and summer.
The garden parties will be held or
course, in the grounds of the White
House, which are among the most
beautiful In the world. The Marine
Band will play and the big fountains
will be in full operation.
Gold Lace and Fine Gowns.
Instead of the silks, satins and
frills of the cpUrtiers, there will be
the gold lace of army and navy ofti-
cer? and of diplomats, but otherwise
it will differ In few respects from
the functions that made the court of
France famous for its brilliancy. The
women, of course, will be as hand
somely and as expensively gowned as
the woipen of a century ago.
In the face of this flying start which
the President's wif* and daughters
have taken in establishing the White
House as social headquarters of the
capital. Washington views with quiet
amusement the frequently announced
attitude of the President that his ad
ministration is to be modestly Deni
ocratic. Appearances indicate that
next winter when the season gets fair
ly under way, the administration will
be the most brilliant, socially, of any
that the capital has had in many
years.
Mrs. Wilson's Talk.
Washington society is gossipping
busily regarding Mrs. Wilson’s skill
in handling social-political situations,
and her “delicate finesse” is the talk
of the city. Society has wondered
just what the result would be, rec
ognizing that she went into the White
House a stranger to its customs and
possibiliies.
The Wilsons, mere, and filler have
more than made good socially. They
have smiled at the right time, kept
silent at the right time, spoken at
the right time, and their social per
ception is the envy of some of the
most expert social logicians at the
capital.
Washington has cpneluded that
everything will be very charming and
interesting throughout the next four
years, even though the brilliancy of
previous periods be neither emulated i
nor equalled. The brilliancy that
was will be simplicity now. and
Washington will follow the lead of
the new mistress of the White House.
Mrs. 'Wilson already has established j
herself as a charming hostess, j
through her simple afternoon teas. |
The function, novel with her, has ac- :
quired a tremendous vogue, and Mrs. j
Wilson is the newest and realest sue- |
cess in society.
Individuality Keynote.
Individuality and personality is the
note of the new White House. With
the daughters the two traits are as
noticeable as with the mother. In
dividuality is theirs by birth and
breeding. Individuality such as they
are displaying is setting blase Wash
ington by the ears. The city finds
its social trioks at a discount, and
it Is wondering, even though the won
der yields tp admiration.
The Wilson girls have impressed
all Washington as earnest, big wom
en. They are in for a thing not
because it is a fad so much as be
cause there is merit and service in
doing the thing. And with it all
they are not too serious, nothing of
the blue-stocking atmosphere envel
ope them. They are jolly when needs
be. as receptive companions as they
should be.
No Fads At All.
No fads. Miss Eleanor and Miss
Margaret dance well and with enthu
siasm of debutantes. And yet danc
ing is not their lives nor a big part
of them. Miss Jessie dances too, but
she plays tennis divinely. But she
does not live for or by tenni?. They
are big, broad girls, and Washing
ton in the short two months it has
known them, has learned to like them,
admire them, respect them.
The Wilson girls, and Mrs. Wilson
too, go in enthusiastically for social
service work. All of them are de
voted church members. Miss Jessie
Is the youngest member of the Na
tional Board of the Young Women’s
Christian Association. Once she had
aspirations to be a foreign mission
ary.
Miss Margaret has advocated vari
ous projects for the upbuilding of a
real social democracy. She is vice
chairman of the National Legislative
Committee fortned to establish so
cial centers. A dozen other such
officers claim her services.
Three Extraordinary Girls.
Not only Washington, but the coun
try at large, is waking up to the fact
that there are three most extraor
dinary young women now living in
the White House.
Other women of the Democratic
administration are as successful. As
to the personnel of the new admin
istration households, the women who
have made Washington their home
for several years, such as Mrs. Al
bert S. Burleson, Mrs. Franklin Lane,
and Mrs. William C. Redfleld. have
materially added to their friends
since entering the Cabinet circle. Mrs.
Josephus Daniels, Mrs. David O.
Houston, and Mrs. Bindley M. Gar
rison arr- running a*» close race for
popularity; Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall
is one of the most entertained women
of the moment, while Mrs. William J.
Bryan’s and Mrs. William B. Wilson’s
friends have not been forgetful of
their claims.

Trustees of Cote Brilliante Pres
byterian Church Absolve
Rev. C. M. Rauch.
ST. LOUIS, May 10.—Trustes of
Cote Brillante Presbyterian Church
have adopted a resolution expressing
their confidence in their pastor, Rev.
Charles M. Rauch, who was accused
of kissing the wife of Theodore J.
Ferguson.
The resolution pledged the board s
support to the minister and added
that the statement that the present
board was selected at the suggestion
of Mr. Rauch was false. The resolu
tion was signed by Samuel A. Kepner,
president, and S. J. McAllister, secre
tary.
Mr. Ferguson characterized the
minister's* alleged endearment as “an
act of boyishness.” He said he bore
the pastor no ill will or malice.
“He embraced my wife and kissed
her while I was not present," said Mr.
Ferguson. “It was as surprising to
her as it was to me, when I heard of
it later. So far as I know he only
kissed her a few times, not as often
as others try to make out."
Mr. Rauch refused to affirm or
deny he had kissed Mrs. Ferguson,
although he said at one time in the
interview that he may have been in
discreet.
“I feel that many of the congrega
tion are friendly and sympathize with
me," he said. “Mr. Ferguson and 1
are strong friends. I did not ask his
forgiveness. I went to him and told
him If I had doe anything against
him I was sorry for it.
“It strikes me that the publicity
that has been given to this matter has
been inspired by enemies of mine
Anyone who tries to do right always
has enemies. I have not been re
quested tp resign ”
Mrs. Ferguson declined to discuss
the incident, which occurred when she
lived on Kennerly Avenue, and at
tended Mr. Rauch’s church. Church
members said that she had been a
conspicuously active worker and had
taught a Sunday school class.

men and six women of the Church
family.
The Shakers settled in Enfield be^

as 2,000 acres.
Chief Cummings Says Station
Will Soon be Placed in Ans-
ley Park Section.
Constant vigilance is the price of
Atlanta's protection from fire—vigi
lance and an almost daily regard of
how to increase the fire-fighting fa
cilities.
Fire Chief W. B. Cummings said
yesterday that Atlanta is growing so
fast that the city’s provision for tak
ing care of fires has not kept up with
It. The city’s rapid growth makes
necessary a practically continual in*
crease of the fire department's re
sources.
The department is large enough
and serviceable enough to handle any
fire, he said. No danger exists on
that score. But in the outlying res
idential districts, newly grown, there
are stretches where fire houses are
necessary.
The most urgent need, the chief
thinks, is in Ansley Park, one of the
newest suburban sections. Authori
ty only recently has been granted to
establish a station, and the chief Is
investigating likely sites in that part
of the city.
Authority for tlm installation of
engines and equipment in the station
in West End, on Lee Street, which
was erected some time ago, only re
cently has. come to the department.
That station house, empty for some
time after its erection, was the
standing evidence of the city’s
growth.
WIFE BEATS HER HUSBAND;
AUNT SWEARS OUT WARRANT
HUNTINGTON, W. VA„ May 10 —
Protesting against her nephew being
continually “beat up” by his wife,
Mrs. E. L Shelton swore out a war
rant for Mrs. William Blizzard, of
McKeesport, Pa., who is visiting here
with the much-abused hubby. Ac
cording to the warrant, the aunt
charges the young wife of Blizzard
with extreme cruelty, and declares
that she proposes to put a stop to
the merciless beatings to which she
says her nephew is being subjected.
According to the allegations of Mrs.
Shelton, if young Blizzard Is slow in
completing a task set for him
he is thrashed. If he falls to answer
a summons of the “exponent of
women’s rights” in double quick
time, he is pumraeled and kicked
around. Now the sympathetic aunt
says she is going to stop it.
Mrs. Blizzard gave bond for her ap
pearance in court.
covered that all the ore is shipped
abroad, and that American scientists
must purchase the refined product
from Europeans at their own price.
“We have paid Europe's prices for
what we could get in order to inves
tigate the wonderful properties of
radium, and their possible applica
tion to the eradication of disease,”
said Charles L. Parsons, chief of the
Division of Mineral Technology. “It
is needless to say we have been great
ly hampered in our work by the al
most prohibitive prices at which ra
dium hampered in our work by the
almost prohibitive prices at which
radium has been held.”
Low Grades Are Wasted.
Several months ago, rumors reach
ed the Bureau of Mines that carno-
tite, the radium carrying ore, was in
great demand. Investigation show
ed that the demand came f p om Eu
rope, and that only the highest grades
were wanted, low grades being
thrown on the dump.
Surprised experts in the Colorado
laboratories of the Bureau of Mines
made computations which convinced
them that two-thirds of the world’s
supply of radium has been made
from American ores, but in Europe.
Radium institutes have been es
tablished in Austria, France, Germany
and England, and a European science
and industry have been developed
from American ores. r lTie Austrian
Government, realizing the untold pos
sihilities of the radium ores at tft.
Joaehimstaal, purchased the mines,
put them under direct governmental
supervision and has an arrangement
with the Vienna Academy of Science
whereby the ore is worked up into
radium.
On the other hand, the United
States has allowed her much greater
resources to be exploited by foreign
ers on a basis which wastes perhaps
irretrievably a large portion of the
ores mined and has exported care
fully selected ores at a price by no
means commensurate with its radium
value.
Found In South.
Pitchblende, the richest of all ra
dium-bearing minerals has been
found in small quantities in Connect
icut and in the feldspar quarries of
North Carolina. Practically the to
tal American output has come from
the mines in Quartz Hill, Gilpin
County, Colo.. the more important
deposits of canotite are scattered
over a large area in Colorado and
Utah.
Practically every ton of carnotlte
mined in 1912 went abroad, and
American deposits are far from being
inexhaustible. The value of the ra
dium in this ore at the minimum
market price would be $628,000 per
ton.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD
W ASHINGTON, May 10 When al
t lie civilized nations In the w orld
deinn, and by process of law provide
for, the exclusion of a certain article
of any sort from commerce and tba
article still finds its way about the
world, seemingly with ease, and cer
talnly in large quantities, the situa
tion becomes interesting.
This is the state of affair* with re
gard to opium. In spite of the fa
that China, the country of greater
production, has decreed agaiu^i the
production of the drug and againsi
Its domestic commerce and exporLa
tion and that all other ctyillzed na
lions have forbidden importation anu
commerce in it and on top of thefe
provisions have prohibited the uae by
any person for any purpose whatso
ever of the forbidden article, opium
is grown, exported, transported, sold
and consumed almost everywhere. The
Secretary of the Treasury in. his last
annual report said of opium
“It is of great importance that Con-
greys should give its attention to the
opium situation in this country, and
do at least all that has Deep proposed
by the concert of the State and Treas
ury Departments. The situation is
horrible. The smuggling is very great
and is carried on by methods and
under circumstanced that make the
administration of the law most dif
ficult, inadequate and unpleasant. The
situation is even worse than the oleo
margarine one. It is extremely de
moralizing; and is largely defeating
the enlightened policy of the Gov
ernment with respect to the opium
traffic and to the opium habit—and
preventing America from doing its
full share of a great International
duty.
Results Reported to Congress.
“Much consideration has been
given to the practical problems by
our Department and the Statu De
partment, and the results to date hav-
been reported to Congress. With all
vve can dp —and much, of course, is
being done in the way of repressing
and punishing the illegal traffic—the
policy of the Government and the
wishes of the people cannot be car
ried out With any degree of thorough
ness with the laws as they are now.
I hope that Congress will become ac
tively" interested in this opium prob
lem, at any rate to the extent of giv
ing to the executive departments the
laws which have been asked.”
The Secretary was extremely well
qualified to report on this inaiier as
he is the head of the customs orgdp
ization of the nation and receives all
reports of smuggling discovered. The
Secret Service also comes under the
Secretary of the Treasury, and, there
fore, he receives direct and full re
ports on smuggling cases detected.
From this vantage point, he says,
that the situation is horrible and
therefore it may safely be conceded
to be so. Congress, however, has
been dormant as far as opium is con
cerned. No new legislation has been
put into effect for some time and tie
smuggling goes on just the same. It
is extremely doubtful whether the
smuggling of opium ever can be en
tirely stopped. It i9 an article of
commerce which is too precious both
to the dealer and to the consumer,
for the traffic in it to be utterly fore
gone simply because of man-made
rules and regulation against it.
Cupidity Excites Dealers.
As for the dealers in the drug, cu
pidity chiefly excites them. Most
of them are users of opium, but also
have enough to sell and th£ rich re
wards which such trafficking brings
are strong inducements to risk much.
A small package of opium will bring
hundreds of dollars, a man may con
ceal a small fortune in the drug upon
his person. In the old dayw when
smuggling was rife on the Y\ ti«t Coast
of this country, opium was made up
into little packages which easily could
be carried by a man without attract
ing too much attention. These pack
ages were valued at $600 each.
Practically all of the opium used Is
raised In Fhina, in the poppy fields,
for opium i.« extracted from the poppy.
Many years ago this opium raising
was one of the first industries at the
land. Great fields of poppies covered
the landscapes in every province and
the output of the drug was tremen
dous. Immense quantities were used
by the Chinese but its use even in
China has now become illegal. The
new Chinese republic is taking dras
tic means to suppress the practice.
English influence First.
English influence in China first put
a < heck to the raising of the opium
poppy. So much of the stuff was
being shipped to England that the
latter nation represented to the Chi
nese that the exportation of opium
to great Britain would have to be
stopped. Although the first to take
this step, it is said that more opium
is used in England to-day than in any
other country of the Occident. Lon
don has many opium dens where the
pipe may be procured at a price w hich
makes the Chinese barber or laun-
dryinan, or whatever he professes to
be. willing to risk the law.
