The time is ripe for an attempt
to recapture Russia from communist

cal tuberculosis association. and
that practically every state and lo-
cal health department is giving at-
tention to thevcontrol of tuberculo-
sis. This program is due very large-
ly to the constantly increasing rev-
enue being brought in by the an-
nual sale of Christmas seals.
The death rate from tuberculosis.
Doctor Farrand pointed out, had
been cut in half, but because there
are many things that are not yet
known regarding tuberculosis, more
study and researclr concerning the
disease is needed. .
“We seek to know primarily." said
Doctor Farrand, “why it is that tu-
berculosis develops in an individual,
formerly healthy although infected,
who Lives in good surroundings, and
for nolapparent reason suddenly de-
velops the symptoms of active tub-
erculosis. We also need further in-
formation as to what part is play-
ed by nutrition. by fatigue and
what results might occur if it were
possible to produce in any locality
in a. civilized part of the globe a
group of people who n adult life
were» freed fromthe infection of tu-
berculosis and who thenrwere sud-
denly. exosed to the tubercle bacil-
lus."
, Tuberculosis increases in times of
scarcity of food and decreases when
an adequate food supply is provid-
ed. This statement was brought out
by Dr. IJDSIY R. Williams. man 8
director of the _Na.t.ional Tubercu.‘
losls Association. in a'report upon
the activities of that organization
session of {heir annual meeting to-
night. ’
The influence of a. continued state
of under-nutrition has been observed
in many European countries during
and since the war, and has emphab
sized the importance of nutrition.
The satisfactory business conditions
in the United States have made it:
possible for the general mass of the
population here to take advantage of
better conditions and to maintain
a. standard of living higher than has
ever before existed in this country.
This in turn has been reflected in a
decrease in the death rate.
But this is not the only factor at
work. The active work of the Na.-
tional Tuberculosis Association and
its various state and local tubercu.
losis associations has been largely
influential during the last 20 years
in reducing the death rate from tu-
berculosis from a total of 201 per
100.000 in 1900 to 97°11: 1922.
The results of the examination of
1465 school children in four pros-
perous farming countries of Minne-
sota show that only a. little over ten
per cent. of these children showed
positive signs of tuberculosis infec-
tion. This statement made by Dr.
S. A. Slater, superintendent of the

Lai-ge Audience Thor-~

Jokes and Dances—
End Men Good
The second presentation of the
Elks Minstrel Serenade went; of!
Tuesday evening without a. bitch
and was one hundred per cent. bet-
ter than Monday evening. The large
audience thoroughly. enoyed the ma.d
ny song hits and jokes.‘
0f the musical numbers that made
a. hit. "Calm Yourself Sweet “'0-
man," sung by Henry Bergman. with
many encores. "Stingo Stungo." by
Richard F. Noack Jr.. with a. like
number of encores. “Not Lately” by
Ralph Dibble, who received a big
hand, were among the hits of the
evening. _
Fred Cello sang "Rose of My
Heart" a. beautiful lyric which was
exceptionally well rendered.
Ed Splan. sang "Ten Thousand
Years from Now,“ with his usual
ability. .
Miss Beatrice Lowndes was never
better in her dancing specialty call-
ed "Springtime." This number re—
ceived enthusiastic applause.
The gags sprung by the end men
were received with hearty appre-
ciatlon.
The second part—”Alice. Where
Art Thou?" went over in fine style.
Especially well ions were the parts
taken by George‘. Harris as Dick. is
cupld's derelict, dud by Miss Kath~
leen Lynch, as Beatrice, the neglec-
ted wife of a. scientist. George put
“lots of pep" into his acting. Miss
Lynch sang very effectively. *Once
Upon a. Time." Rowland Schwebel
as the husband, was very good. ‘1-
so Miss Irene Harmon, who acted
the part of “Alice." Clarence
L'Hommedieu as Jack, Miss Doro-
thy Lewis as Mary. the maid. and
'E. Sherwood Pennington as Angus
played their parts with credit.
The Topsie Girls were exception-
ally good in their “Wet Yo' Thumb"
number and responded to several en-
cores.
The Wildflower and Flirtation
Girls carried their song and dance
numbers very well.
The Entertainment Committee
should receive due credit for their
untiring en‘orts to put this show
across.
Kate Claxton
The younger generation of the-
atre-goers never saw Kate Claxton
on the stage: those who follow the
motion pictures may have seen her
name-once or twice in connection
with some pictured play of the. by-
gone days. but to them the name of
Kate Clasaton meant nothing. com-
ments the Hartford Courant. But
among the older playgoers there are
vivid memories of the actress whoae
death at the age of 74 has just been
reported—and
they are. for Kate Claxton was a."
player of real distinction in her own
time and in her own manner.
Melodrama is largely a thing of
the past on the stage. but when
Kate Claxton was in active service
melodrama. held its own particular
place against all comers. It stood
between 'Shakespeare. the "legtii-
mate." and the rough and ready
comedies and farces of the time.
And. all of the older players on the
stage at some time in their careers
found experience (and doubtless
pleasure and profit)_ in. acting in
popular melodrama.
Miss Gluten played other than
melodramatic roles: she was sou-
brette and ingenue in her time; but
her fame rested on the solid founda-
‘tlon she laid for it in the old play,
"The Two Orphans," and she played
that old play a1 lover the United
States. year after year and always
successfully. Some people never
saw “The Two Orphans" and to
those it may be said that though
thpy have not missed a. wonderfully
constructed play according to mod-
ern standards they have. neverthe-
less, missed a play that was typical
of the stage in its time and that
proved trémendously interesting and
appealing to thousands ‘ of play-
goers. In the play the terrible
tribulations of two helpless girls.
one beautiful, the other blind. in the
Paris of many years ago. are made
the most of from every dramatic
angle. There, is almost no horror
they do not face. almost no evil
that does not threaten them. ere
is great’ devotion shown between the
sisters; there are high waves of
emotionalism; and, as a. matter of
course in all melodrama. there is a
happy ending of the story. Misi
Claxton' "doubled" the sisters in the
play and did emotional work of fine
quality in her portrayal of the pa..-
thetic and abused blind girl: and
her name is linked with that of the
old play as long as there shall be
any memory of either.
The stage of the present day does
not ask the stress of emotion of its
actrem that the stage of Kate
Claxton's youth demanded. <
Emotional acting. so-called. is
more repressed now though it is not
less effective op that account as the
art. of acting 'is now understood.
Butit must not be forgotten that
'as may: were in those bygone days
and as meptraditions of the theatre
were as regrds expression of emo-
tion Kate Ciaxton was one of the
great players of her time, and those
who, in their youth were thrilled by

Fight Plan to Extend

WASHINGTON, May 8.——.Renewai
of the Japanese exclusion fight in
Congress appeared certain today as
the result of the action of til-\Sen-
ate and House immigration bill con-
fereal in rs-opcning the question at
the insistence of President Coolidge
and recommending postponement of
the effective date of the Asiatic pro-
vision until March 1. 1925. '
The Confer-cos . Tuesday agreed
upon July 1. 1924. as the eflective
date for the exclusion provision. and
their report was ready to be sub-
mitted to the House and Senate. The
President, who had urged a paste
ponement until March 1. 1926. to
give time for negotiations with
Japan, immediately increased his
efforts' to bring about a. greater de-
lay than agreed upon by the con-
ferees revising his suggestion to
make the date March 1. 1.325.
The conferecs were reassembled
and accepted the new proposal with
a. clause requesting the President to
“negotiate with the Japanese gov-
ernment in relation to the abroga-
tion of the present agreement on
this subject! ’ Their decision. how-
ever, was not unanimous and Sen-
ator Sbortrldge. Republican. Cali-
fornia. announced, as soon as it be:
came known that he would raise a
point of order against the report on
the ground that. they had exceeded
their authority in extending the date
beyond the provisions of either bill,
FOX HUNTERS . '
SAY HERMIT
HOT DOGS
Norwalk fox-hunters today are up
at arms as the result of a. \Vilton
hermit shooting and badly ‘wound-
ing a. valuable fox bound which was
trailing a. fox. The hermit is sus—
pected also of killing another dog
owned by a prominent Norwalker
which \‘S in the same chase and
which has failed to return home. A
meeting of the fox-huntcrs is sched-
uled for tonlgbt and it is probable
that the person suspected of doing
the shooting will be prosecuted. The
offense carries a heavy fine and jail
sentence.
The wounded dog was found near
i. 0 Norwalk reservoirs. It had a
1’ do bullet through the fleshy part
of its side. When the owner was
notified, he and others interested in
fox-hunting, trailed, through the
means of blood found on the ground
which it had dripped from the
wounded dog. back to the place
which the shooting had taken place.
The bloody trail led to the ram-
shackled home of a hermit living in
the Huckleberry section and who is
suspected of having killed other ani-
mals. The wounded fox-hound to-
gether with another animal was
following a fox when the former
was shot. Since the latter dog .has
not returned home. _it'ls feared he
was also shot and probably killed.
Both of these dogs were entered in
the fox hound contests to be held
on May 20.

Senator Bakewell of New Haven
oflered a most. astounding state-
ment. in a. public address which he
delivered at. Westport. the other
night, during the course of which
he declared that the State of Con-
necticut is out of debt and cscayed
to tell the reason why. The incor-
rectnes’s. or at'leust technical incor-
rectness of the statement that Con-
necticut has no debt may be passed
over for an examination of the
even more remarkable reasoning
the senator 0 red in explanation.
He said. or is quoted as having
said, that. ”the State's good fortune
is due to the able leadership of J.
Henry Box-aback. whose point of
view is to make Connecticut pay as
she goes." That is an astonishing
acceptance of the propriety of mane
agement of State affairs by the head
of a. political machine rather than
by its duly elected officials. It is
surprising to have such a tacit. ad‘-
mission of the propriety of allowing
Mr. Roraback to be the State gov-

background are those of Senator
