DR. Kl EXPLAINS OF SCHICK TEST FOR CHILDREN Local Physician Telia. Use of Anti-Toxin and Schick Test in Diphtheria Prevention.

(Williamsburg Eureau) In keeDine with the state-wide and local campaign, which is being made in an ieffort to decrease the number of deaths from diphtheria in Virginia, Dr. J. King, local physician, yesterday' explained the purpose of the Schick test, which is commonly used among children of school age. The purpose of the Schlok test and the administration of toxin-antl-tox- in treatment is detailed by Dr. King in the following: 'Throughout the state an effort is Iteing made to stamp out diphtheria and the local health unit is endeavoring to do it part.

The confidence of the people of- the state in the means employed is necessary first, and for some, time educational literature has been dis seminated. "That the administration of toxin- anti-toxin will prevent diphtheria is well established. There may be an occasional child who does not re spond to the prescribed treatment Three does toxin-ahti-toxin are given at weekly intervals. Whether the treatment is effective or not may determined by what is known as the Schick, test. 'Recently a James City child died of diphtheria in the Newport News hospitals The child had been given toxin-anti-toxin and was on of those immunized.

But she also, had a severe illness known as Vincent's angina, which alone was sufficient to kill one of her years. There was also no response to anti-toxin treat ment, although a large dose was ad ministered. "There are always some who do not develop an immunity. This, however, should not mitigate against so gen eral a cause of relief from the disease. If the first treatment of toxln- antl-toxin is not effective, a second treatment generally suffices.

In he treatment there is little pain and no reacion in the great majority of young children. "The Schick test will determine If immunization has been established." BRINGING UP PURPOS TITLE TODAY AS S-TIGERS PLAY William and Mary Football Team is Favored to Win Over Hampden-Sydney Outfit This Afternoon. With a conference title at 'atak and with an opportunity to add to the impressive string of state victories gained his year, the William and Mary Indians will journey to Richmond to meet the Hampden-Sydney TiBra at 2:30 o'clock thi afternoon. Although favored to win a six-, able margin, Coach Bocock'a charges are net taking the game lightly and have been primed to the utmost in anticipation of warmly contested battle. Classes' will be dismissed at William and Mary at 11:30 o'clock this morning and indica- tiona point to practically the entire student body being present at the game.

Coach Bernier of he Hampdtn-Sydney team, has announced that the Tiger student body and a large representation fVom FarmVille and vicinity will be present. Although more will be at atak in the game today than in th Thanksgiving day tussle with the University of Richmond Spiders, interest in thia city, although focused on th game, it not comparable with the enthusiasm that marked the Spider-Indian tussle. Both teams are expected to make their bid for vtory on. brilliant running attacks, Witn the Indians far superior in this respect, with the Incomparable Maxey and BiU Scott pitted against the elusive Baymond McCann. MeCann, it will bo remembered, broke away in the fourth quarter of the game with Richmond to score the touchdown that gave his team a 13-7 lead over the Red and Blue.

On the basis of comparative scores, the Indians are far superior, but the Death Valley outfit, smarting under several decisive defeats in reoent years and afforded an opportunity to attone for all of them by licking the Bocock men today, will probably ex ert themselves to the utmost. Bo teams will enter the fray comparatively free from Injuries. Hampden-Sydney, with eight seniors In the starting line up, is entering in first class playing condition and the Indians will present their strongest offensive this afternoon. Fields and Scctt are both suffering from injuries, but each should give a good account of himself with more than a week's rest. Many who have not seen the William and Mary team In action this year are xp9.ted to" Journey to the capital city to get a glimpse of he fleet-footed Maxey who, in his second year, won recognition as being ot all-states caliber.

Among the. distinguished fans who will, be seated in the Richmond stadium are Governor-, elect Pollard, former dean of the Marshall-Wythe school of government and citizenship at the College of William and Mary; Governor Harry F. Byrd and other dignitaries. Incidentally, the game this afternoon will find two of the cleverest coaches In Old, Dominion gridiron circles directing the activities of their teams. Coach Bocock has w-on south-wide fame as a mentor, and Bernier has turned out a number of winning teams during his connection with Hampden-Sydney.

Although the battle today will probably mark the close of one of Hampden-Sydney's most successful years, regardless of the outcome, the Wililam and Mary gridiron artists can anticipate an even better seasen nextyear. Captain Teddy Bauser-man and Rosy Ryan will be lost In the backfleld and Fields will not be back at the center position next season. Bauserman's kicking and passing will undoubtedly be missed, as will Ryan's generalship and ability to snare passes in midair. Fields, who has been a great factor in the success of the Indian line, will be sorely missed, andthis vacancy, will probably cause the most concern to the Indian mentors. Trice And Luttrell Are On Dean's List E.

IL Trice and John A. Luttrell, of this city, first year students at the College of William and Mary, are among those placed on the dean's list in recognition of their work being of a superior caliber. Only 93 of the more than 300 hundred members ot the freshman class placed on the list. Trice's average was 84.6, a point above Luttrell, with 83.6. Edward J.

Robertson of Ports-mouth, led the class with' an average of 94 and was followed by W. W. Berry of Bedford, in second place with 93; Lee Callan of Hopewell was third with 92.66; Lloyd Wickersham of Norfolk, fourth, 92.47, and E. B. Flicklnger of Winchester, fifth, 81.

THE.RS) THE OWOKlt- i EXPECT TO WEAR A COY WHO AY HS DiONTT UDSE AMY MOMEY INJ THE MARKET AMI Harry L. Nachman, commander of the Braxton-Perkins Post, -No. 25, of the American Legion has Issued a warning to all ex-service men that veterans must file applications for bonus by January 2. li39. Mr.

Nachman calls attention to the bulletin Just received here from the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Richomnd: "Approximately one million world war veterans, and dependent of those who have died, have failed to make application for adjusted serv ice certificates, and no doubt the state of Virginia comes in for a proportionate share of that number of men. "The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924, as it is officially entitled, but commonly known as the Federal Bonus, provides adpusted compensation for both men and women veterans of the World War at the rate of one dollar and a quarter (11.25) per day for each day of overseaa service, and on dollar ($1.00) per day for each day of home service, rendered subse quent to April 5, 1917 and prior to July 1, 1919, in excess of 60 days obviously 60 days are deducted because each veteran had received $60 at the time of discharge. "If the amount exceeded 50 and the veteran made application he would receive from the U.

8. Veterans' Bureau an adjusted aevlce certificate, computed in the following manner; $1.00 or $1.25 per day as above stated. Twenty-five per cent of the total amount due would be added by the government, and in addition to the 25 per cent an amount would be added which would equal approximately 4 per cent interest on the actual amount due for 20 year. For example; If $400 la the amount due the veteran, $100 is added, making the amount $500, and what is equal to interest at the rats of 4 per cent for 20 years on $400 Is also added, which increases the amount to $1,600. A certificate of that amount would be delivered to the veteran, payable in 20 years, and stipulating therein that a small, amount may be borrowed each yean.

In other words, the exact amount of the adjusted service certificate is determined by ascertaining the amount of an endowment Insurance policy, payable in 20 years to a veteran, that $500 would purchase at his age on bis birthday nearest the date of the certificate. "One thousand fourteen dollar and eleven cents is the average value of the adjusted service certifi cates issued by the government to veterans of the world war in compliance with the World War Adjusted Com pensation Act of 1924. "Any commissioned officer above the grade of captain in the army or ma rlne, corps or lieutenant In the navy, or first lieutenant ot engineers In the coast guard, or post assistant surgeon in the public health service, or having the pay and allowances, if not the rank, of any officer superior in rank to any of such grade in each case for the period of service as such are not entitled to adjusted service certificates under the existing law. "According to the terms of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act the following persons are not permitted to apply for lta beneficial "Any Individual at any time during the period April 6, i917 and July 1, 1919( separated from the military or naval forces of the United States under other than honorable conditions, or "Any conscientious objector who performed no military duty whatever or refused to wear the uniform, or "Any alien at any time during sucn period discharged from th military and naval forces on account ol his alienage. veteran making application for an adjusted service certificate will submit his claim to' the secretary of war, if be.

FATHER oj YOO MEAM TO 11 QHNT aizi IRK ME HE REALLY GOME "TO The Rev. John B. Eentley, Lauds Confederate Chieftain, Bob ert E. Lee in Speech at Smoker Here. (Williamsburg Eureau) Tracing McClellan's disastrous peninsula campaign in 1862, the Rev.

John B. Bentley, associate rector of Bruton parish churchy spoke last night at the smoker of the Magrud-er-Ewell camp. Sons of Confederate Veterans hold in the Williamsburg Methodist church. 1 Although paying tribute to McClel-lan "as a soldier, as a Christian, as a gentleman and as an organizer," the speaker declared that the federal chieftain "lacked the genius of military leadership that tells when and where to strike that makes a great leader of a great soldier." Lee's greatness, Mr. Bentley said, lay in his ability to concentrate his forces and to overcome by detail a larger and more powerful array.

Members of the Williamsburg chapter. United. Daughters of the Confederacy, were guests of the Sons at the smoker and. a committee from the organization served supper. Miss Emily Christian, president of the Daughters, expressed the pleasure of.

her organization in being present at the function and expressed tho hope that similar meetings will be held frequently. Dr. Foster, "representing Thomas Nelson chapter, of the American Revolution, was a guest of honor. He recounted a personal experience during the War Between the States and closed with a plea to educate the youth of the south and the country on the pertinent and impartial facts associated with the great struggle. Of tho "Tragic Era," a book dealing with the south during the reconstruction period, Dr.

Foster said that It should be in every western and northern school, but declared be would not recommend ot for "young 'southern minds." Judge Frank Armlstead, commander of the Magruder-Ewell chapter, introduced tho speaker of the At the conclusion of the address, upon the motion of Archie Brooks, the speaker was accorded a rising vote of thanks from those present. The organization of the Song of Confederate its functions and purposes were outlined by Professor P. P. Peebles, adjutant. Some 1,000 camps are In existence at the present time, he said, the Magruder-Ewell camp being among the original ones.

FollowJnj the disastrous defeat of the federal forces at Bull Run, the speaker said, the unionists withdrew to the protection of their fortifications at Washington. In an effort to strike at the- heart of the Confederate forces In Virginia, a campaign was planned against Richmond. Three plans were formulated by McCIellan, appointed by President Lincoln to command the federal forces. One plan was to proceed overland from Washington to Alexandria and to Centerville, where he would meet the Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johntson.

An attack here, if successful, would drive the Confederate forces back and leave. -Richmond open to the unionists. A second plan called for water transportation to Urbanna and to Weft Point and' from thence to Richmond. The third plan, the.one adopted by McCIellan, provided for his troops being transported down the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay to Fortress Monroe-and up the peninsula, between the James and York rivers, to tuenmond. Landing at Monroe on iAdHI 2.

Mc- cllan quickly mobilized his forces and on April 4 began his march up tne peninsula. Moving in two bodies. a left column proceeding through the site or Newport News and on to Warwick court' house, and with the right corps marching through Hampton and up the Big Bethel road to Yorktown, McCIellan began his campaign. Violent rains made the roads almost impassible and considerably slowed the federal advance. Confederate fortifications stretch ing from Mulberry island, across the peninsula to Yorktown, surprised the federalists, who began plans to oust the southerners nder Magruder.

Ar rayed against McClellan's army of tno confederates had a scant U.000 men, Mr." Bentley said. At dam' No. 1, three federal attacks were repulsed by the southerners. Meanwhile, Johnston was quickly moving his army to aid Magruder. beeing that a determined resistance would result in the annihilation of the Confederate forces, the Confed erate leader determined to retreat slowly.

Johnston's army encamped at Williamsburg, leaving LongBtreet to retard the advance of McCIellan. Under instructions to retard the federal advance for 24 hours, Longstreet accomplished his purpose, before dropping back. Making a desperate stand at Seven Pines, the Confederates drove McClellan's army back and later, with General Robert Edward Lee in com mand, continued victorious march, forcing the federal army to withdraw to Harrison's -Landing, ending their valley campaign in fail ure, Students To Get Long Holiday WiHiamsbursr Bureau!

Although the contemplated map, to cost about $85,000 would include the entire peninsula between Old Point and Richmond, Congressman Montague proposes that only be appropriated for commencing the This he said, would be confined to the area in the vicinity of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. Altogether there are about 1.000 square miles of territory Involved. Within the bounds of the York and the James rivers and Richmond on the west ere approximately. 600 points deemed worthy of accurate and permanent marking on a comprehensive map. Among these are numerous fields of battle and skirmishes and a large number of points otherwise connected with the history of this section from Colonial days.

The existing standard topographical maps are drawn on a scale of one mile to the inch. In order to mark the points of interest with appropriate lettering, maps on a Bcal of two miles- to the inch are sary. The proposed work would require aterlal topographical surveys.
