Great Expectations at the Mexican,
Friday.
Charles Dickens would have been
astounded, could he have returned
to earth and visited the Famous
Players stttdio not so long ago, for
there he would have found some of
the characters which his great pen
had pictured, no longer confined to
the pages of his novel "Great Ex
pectations", but actually walking
about in real life. Though the g»eat
novelist would have seen only Es
tella Pip and Provis. we see in these
characters the familiar features of
Louise Huff, Jack Pickford and
Frank Loeee, who are playing those
respective roles in the Famous
Players adaptation of the story which
is the Paramount attraction at the
Mexican Theatre Friday.
We entertain a suspician that,
when the smoke of partisan squab
ble has cleared away, it"Will be
discovered that the control of the
House is lodged just where it has
been for the past four years.
Von Bissing has made up his
mind that the "softness of luxury"
shall never bring decadence to
Belgium.
The Ilohenzollern government
pats more brute force than skill
into the construction of a lie.

K HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN
WINS.
► t .
i Will Send Affirmative and Negative
Debater* to Chaptl Hill to Con
test For Aycock Cup.
, The query this year for the Slate
High School Debating Un.on is:
"Resolved, That the Federal Gov
ernment should own and operate the
railways." The question was de
bated in the Graham Ghided School
auditorium last Friday night in the
presence of a fine audience. Maj.
J. J. Henderson acted as piesideut
and the judges of the debate were
Dre. J, A. Lesh, of the State Normal
College, W. C. Wicker, of Elon Col
lege, and H. M. Wagstaff of Chapel
Hill.
The affirmative was represented
by Misses Zelma Hornbuckle aud
Myrtle Cooper, of Graham High
School, and the negative by Misa
May Burch and Mr. Robert L.
Thompson, Jr., of Chapel Hill High
School. The debaters spoke in the
order named. The speakers showed
that they had searched the field fr
information. They had gleaned well
and aptly applied the facts and de
duced the arguments. Aside from
any desire as to which side might
win, the speeches were full of in
formation and interest to the audi
ence. When the speakers had
finished their leading speeches the
audience felt that Graham .vas lead
ing with Chapel Hill an uncomfort
ably close second; but when it came
to the rejoinders the Graham team
fell into the lead and Misses Horn
buckle and Cooper forged ahead • f
their competitors and won the de
cision of the judges. When the
decision came the Graham sympa
thizers demonstrated great joy.
Graham had won at home, but to
enable them to participate in the try
out for positions in the elimination
contest at Chapel Hill on April 19th
and 20th, it was also necessary for
the negatives, Miss Enita Nicks and
Thomas D. Cooper, to win over tl.e
Chapel Hill affirmatives at Chapel
Hill. Before reception was over at
the school the joyful news came that
Graham's negative team had won.
This is the fifth year of the State
High School Debating Union under
the auspices of the Dialectic and
Philanthropic Societies of the Uni
versity. In the year 1913 and 1914
Graham's affirmative and negative
teams won in the preliminaries and
went to Chapel Hill and in the lat
ter year took part in the final con
test. In 1915 Graham lost in the
preliminaries. In 1916 Graham
won again in the preliminaries.
That year the "Enlargement of the
Navy" was the question and the af
firmative team, was Miss Myrtle
Cooper and Mr. Boyd Harden and
the negative Miss Zelma Hornbuckle
and Mr. Thos. D. Cooper—with one
exception the same speakers who woa
last Friday night. The affirmatives
won in the finals and brought home
the Ayco6k Memorial Cup. This is
a highly honorable record— not
equaled by that of any school in th«
State and something to be really
proud of.

Measles Causes More Deaths Than Its
Death-rate Indicates.
Something of what the present
epidemic of measles has meant to
the State, is given out by the State
Board of Health in its latest bulle
tin. According to the death certifi
cates entered for the month of Jan
uary, or as many as were received
before .February JOth, 126 baoies
died from measles in North Caro
lina during that month. And yet,
as the Board calls attention to the
fact, this disease had not reached
so large an epidemic 1 " proportion in
January as it did later in, February
and March, consequently the num
ber of deaths from measles for the
month of February and March is
expected to greatly exceed that of
January.
Another interesting fact in con
-nection with the seriousness of
measles to which the Board calls at
tention to is that measles is more
often a cause of death than its
death rate would indicate. It is
not uncommon for broncho-pneu
monia and other serious diseases
to develop from measles, and in
case of death, the cause is attrib
uted to pneumonia when measles
was primarily the cause.
The counties reporting the great
est number of deaths from measles
during January were Iredell and
Montgomery, having 12 each; Wil
son, 11; McDowell, H; Johnston, 6;
Catawba, Durham and Mitchell, 5
each; and Forsyth, Guilford, Le
noir and Wayne, i each.
As to the serious after effect* of
measles, the Board gays: "Think
of the great host of children in
North Carolina to-day Buffering
from weak eyfes. who will probably
suffer for life, a* ,a result of meas
les. Then there are those suffer
ing from other physical defects or
weaknesses Just as had, on account
of measles. While the most fatal
age for measles is from on» to two
years old, and probably the safest
age is about 15 years, there is no
right time to have it. It* after ef
fects alone should call for that re
striction that would absolutely pr#"-
vent its spread,"

BEST CLIMATE FOR TUBERCU
LOSIS.
Not Alway Advisable to Leave Home.
"Please advise me the advanta
ges to be had from going out West
or to a different climate for the
treatmenf of tuberculosis.' This r->-
luest made to the State Board of
Health has been replied to as fol
lows: "The consumptive who con
templates going t oa distance in
search of a more favorable' climate
must consider the advantages and
disadvantages of so klolng, how
much good the better climate will
do and what he forfeits in making
the change. In other words, he
must consider whether his gains
will compensate his losses.
"In considering making a change
one should have in mind the ex
pense, the kind of life that will be
necessary in the new locality, the
possible absence of family ant!
friends, and the facilities for proper
medical care and nursing. Climate
should not be secured at ths ex
pense of other more important fac
tor*. The consumptive needs Rent
er attention to w»*-food than the
well Individual. He needs at times
competent medical advice and su
pervision. This is particularly sn
for a patient who has not had
training at well managed sanato
rium. It is practically impossible
for a man to regain his health
who is homesick. Furthermore, liv
ing expenses are more awav from
home than at home, which does nol
take Into consideration railroad fare
and all the inconveniences a
stranger is likely to me t. If one
expects to secure work while in
search of health, he should know
before going whether work is ob
tainable or not and what kind, also
as to whether work is advisable or
not.
"Outdoor life for the greatsr pari
of the year is after all the object
of going in search of the "best cli
mate," and oftentimes this may be
found in one's own dooryard during
as many months in the year as in
the prospective new locality, If the
proper effort is made. No locality
has a climate that is favorable all
the year round. With the aid of
the out-door tent, the sleeping
porch, suitable food, rest and med
ical care, the home or near home
climate can be made to afford the
same benefits that leaving home,
except In search of a sanatorium,
usually give. One should consider
well before making such a
change.'
