MOTHERS OF MEN
"I hold no cause worth my son's
life," one said—
And the two women with her as
she spoke
Joined glances in a hush that
neither broke,
So present was the memory of
their dead.
And through their meeting eyes
their souls drew near,
Linked by their sons, men who
had held life dear
But laid it down for something
dearer still.
One had wrought out with patient
iron will
The riddle of a pestilence, and
won,
Fighting on stricken, till his work
was done
For children of tomorrow. Far
away
In shell-torn soil of France the
other lay,
And in the letter that his mother
read
Over and over, kneeling as to
pray—
"l'm thanking God with all my
heart today
Whatever comes" (that was the
day he died)
"I've done my bit to clear the
road ahead."
In those two mothers, common
pain of loss
Blossomed in starry flowers of
holy pride,
What thoughts were hers who
silent stood beside
Her son the dreamer's cross?

I . SMALLPOX
(Continued from Page 1)
will recur beyond any shadow of
doubt.
Statistics show that more than
100,000 cases of smallpox were
reported in the United States in
1921, about 50,000 cases in 1931,
346 cases in 1945 and 356 cases in
1946. So far this year there have
been 97 cases in the United
States. Between March 1 and
April 22, there were 12 cases in
New York City with two deaths.
One death from the disease was
reported in New Jersey, April 17.
During the past week new cases
of the disease have been reported
as follows: Indiana 6, Texas 4,
Oklahoma 2, Mississippi 1, Ne
braska 1. The disease incidence
has always been highest in those
states and localities which do not
compel vaccination.
Anyone and everyone can be
completely protected against this
disease by vaccination every
three or four years. It is ex
tremely seldom that anyone is
made seriously sick by vaccina
tion, even the smallest babies,
therefore it is unwise to neglect
this attention.
In this day and time when no
community in North Carolina lies
more than a few hours by plane
or bus from any other section of
the continent we must take pains
to prevent any large number, of
people in the community from
growing-up un vaccina ted. To do
so is merely flirting with danger.
We are all familiar with what
happened in New York City two
or three weeks ago when a Mex
ican with confluent smallpox ar
rived in that city by bus. He was
admitted to a hospital where he
died in the course of a few hours.
It was not until his death that
the disease was properly recog
nized. This was after he had been
travelling about sick for several
days. There was no telling how
many persons had been exposed
or where they were. Let this hap
pen in any community where the
majority of people are unvacci
nated then see what happens.

Beside being the most restful

Judge ready-to-wear suits by
the rule of three: fabric, findings

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
A preacher in New Jersey, as he
looked over his large congrega
tion Easter Sunday morning, said:
"I realize that there are many
here who will not be with us
again until next Eastertime. I take
this opportunity of wishing them
a merry Christmas."

MAIL FROM HOME
Two soldiers were eagerly read
ing letters from home. Suddenly
Bill gave a shout: "Strike me
pink!" he exclaimed. "My son's
got three feet."
"Chunck it!" retorted Tom.
" Taint possible."
" 'Strue!" said Bill. "See what
the missus says 'ere."
He handed the letter to Tom,
who read, "You won't know little
Johnny now. He's grown another
foot."
SUCKER BAIT?
"Look here, dear, all these bills
are dated before we were mar
ried."
"Yes, darling."
"Well, don't you think it's a bit
unfair to expect me to pay for
the bait 1 was caught with?"
DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT

I'll tell you what the ice man said

"Okay, here's your dime."

Golf is a game where a ball
