After all, children do not drop dead or

The Boy Scouts aro said to bo bavins
Htra work on their hands because of the

employed by business linns to run errands

But thcro Is a lot of volunteer work which
they ara dolnK. Their slogan is "Do n

turn dally," a Basing which a great many
food friends of tho Scouts sincerely re

that most noy Scouts can bo as bad as

Over the Photoplay
The movies and the drama got a pretty
I thorough hauling about nt tho Broad
Street Theatre yesterday afternoon, when
tho Philadelphia Drama League held its
first meeting of tho new season. Half
of the speakers were violently nntl-movle.
All three actors, Howard Kyle, Louis
Mann and Elsie Ferguon, spoke feel
inglv, oven bitterly, of the new enlertnlnj
ment whleh Is not onlv attacking tho
theatres, but threatening to buy up their
services with somo fabulously tempting
brlhe Mls Ferguson backed her nppenl
for tho drama by vibrant nnd beautiful
tones thnt bore out her belief thnt "no
power in tho world Is ns great ns the
human voice "
Tho llev Cyrus Townsend Brady, au
thor of 63 novels and the sourco of 20
photoplays, presented a good denl moro
'hnn the case for the movies. Ho openly
advocated motion pictures on Sunday.
"They nro the poor man's automobile,"
he said, "his golf club, his library. If I
''an take an auto ride for iccrentlon on
the Snbbatli t don't sen why the poor
man shouldn't seo a movie."
In between these extremes, came Cosmo
Hamilton, author of "The Blindness of
Virtue," with a frank statement of how
surprised nnd plensed lie had been at the
treatment of his piny In the movies, but
with i uord of cnutlon for thoughtless
producers The dramatic editor of the

Doctors See No End of Distress
ing Epidemic Until 50-Year
Cyclo Is Run
Philadelphia is now eTperlenclnff the
worst opldemlo of ffrlp In J1 its history,
said Chief Hesldent Physician Pratt, of
the Jefferson Hospital, today.
Philadelphia will havo 2t more yearn of
Brlp, said I)r. Arthur Dare, of 2033 Chest
nut street, today.
No physicians hold out any comfort
for tho citizens! the epidemic In bad In
quality and quantity nnd it will return
for many seasons.
As Doctor Dare explained It, rrtp runs
In cycles of CO years. The present cycle
Is now In Its 2Jth year, nnd that leaves 21
to come. The United States eot it, he
said, from Italy away back In 1SS7. Over
In the Patria'a minny climes tho doctors
called It "la coquette" nnd It was brought
to this country In tho form of an ln
Iluetizi In Us first year here It affected the
respiratory organs, then tho Intestines,
then the heart, nnd so on until It came
Into the shape that It Is tsklui; this yenr,
when it affects principally the throat
nnd lungs
Doctor Pratt nt Jefferson said unquali
fiedly that Philadelphia has never hnd
na bad an epidemic of tho grip. He said
none of tho modlcal folk knew how to
explnlu It: that It was simply an oxlst
Inn condition which they were mcotlnp
ns best they could. Ho said furthor that
tho typo was very malignant, although
there had been no deaths that ho
knew of.
The opldemlo hno been no reepeoter of
sections. All parts of tho city havo been
hit, though opinions as to tho quality
of tho disease dllTITer. In the hospitals
nil the physicians pronounce tho dlpeaso
as bolnir of a "malignant type." Thoo
who humllo prlvato cases say It Isn't
such n sotere attack.
Tho explanation by the doctors is that
It Is only Uin Bevero cases that tret Into
tho hospitals.
