SCIENTISTS SENT TO STUDY COAST TOWNS OF BRAZIL

(Br AMoclatwl Press) PARA, Brazil, Doc. 8. A party of physicians, engineers and naturalists sent by the Brazilian government arrived here to Investigate conditions of health and Industry. They are to report on the sanitary and health of the cities and towns of the Brazilian coast from Para to Bio de Janeiro, study health conditions of the fishermen of that coast, collect specimens of filh and consider the possibility of developing the fishing Industry. The expedition is under the command of Captain Frederico Villar of the Brazilian navy, who Is a Journalist as well as a sailor and Is to be Joined at Para by "an American scientist. Dr. Field, who has been engaged for this work by the Ministry of Marine" according to the local press. The government. It is said, plans the' installation of up-to-date housing accommodation tor men engaged in the fishery Industry along the coast among whom, according to Dr. de Moura belonging to the expedition, there Is much intestinal disease and hookworm due to present living conditions and entire lack of sanitation. Organization of this expedition Is in line with the intelligent manner In which the Brazilian government has been working for years past to Improve the general health of the nation. These efforts have resulted in entirely eradicating the plague of yellow fever from such ports as Rio, Santos, Pernambucco, Para and Manaos which were once known as "fever holes" dreaded by ocean sailors. The general health conditions of the Amazon Valley have been improved beyond recognition during recent years and yellow fever Is as rare today In Para and Manaos as In New Orleans or Galveston. And malaria Is no more prevalent ner then In the southern part of the United States. The greater part of the valley Is now healthy, and the so-called "malarial districts could be made healthy if nttent'on were paid to the Instructions of the authorities In the matter of Ivir.g conditions, sanitation, hygiene, food and clothing. As these regions Are far from the centers of population it Is difficult to enforce the public, health laws. The sanitary regulations today In large cities like Para, Manaos, Santarem. along the main Amazon river, tire very strict. At Para there ts a TiRorous examination and ftimlsation of Incoming phlps from port known to be 'unhealthy and the public markets are under daily supervision by sanitarv inspectors who are prompt to condemn meat and fish not absolutely fresh. After the market close, about noon earh day, the buHdlnes are disinfected and washed from ceiling to floor.

MEXICO IS TOYLES3 AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES (By Associated Press! MEXICO CITY, Dec. 6. The approach of Christmas finds a dearth of tdys in Mexico with no apparent means Jor greatly Increasing the supply. In fromer years Germany has provided unlimited number of gimcracks which found ready sale here but this source of supply was closed by the war. Other countries have been slow In enter ing this field of Industrial activity. United States manufacturers have shown intentions of putting their toys on the market here but the goods has not arrived In appreciable amounts. The buyers of toys In Mexico have a special liking for novelty design, such as dolls that dance when a string is pulled. They prefer what .la, known to the trade as the "active toy.' '

The Theatres

WA8HINQT0N Leonce Perret, after completing his photodramatto version of "The Thirteenth Chair." the Pathe picture costarring Yvonne Delva and Oreighton Hale that cames to the Washington Theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, complimented Bayard Veiller. the author, on the value of his title. "Yes," asserted Veillar, "The Thirteenth Chair was harder to title than to write. The play was purchased and rehearsed and up -to a few days before its initial try-out, it was still unnamed. Many suggestions were made, and when William Harris, Sr., and Jr., and myself sat down to make a final decision, it was found that exactly thirteen suggestions had been offered. it was believed that if thirteen could be worked into the title it would be a winner, but the title, naturally, must have some connection with the story. It was the next morning before inspiration came. Rushing into the Harris office, Mr. Vei'r said, "Well call it The Thirteenth Chair." And so the play got its name, even thought it meant putting an extra character in the cast, tor the thirteenth chair of the story is the one in which a man is killed at a spiritualistic seance. From sordid slums of New York's Chinatown to the grandeur of high mountains and the majesty of the ocean that is the range of the setting in "The Miracle Man, a big new Paramount-Art era ft picture, which is coming to the Washington theatre. The same expanslveness of vision is reflected In the absorbing story, written by Frank I Packard later dramatized by George M, Cohan, and produced with striking success on Broadway. The central figure is a white-haired patriarch, who lives in the hills near the sea and who has reputed power to heal the sick and crippled. Tom Burke and his band in their haunt In the New York underworld read of his miracles and conceive the idea of caiv italizing them for their own gain. So tney go to the town where the old man lives and frame up a miracle for him. To their surprise they discover that he really possesses the healing powers accredited to him. Gradually under the beneficent in fluence of their new environment there is worked a transformation in the hearts of the crooks that makes Rose, the gangster's beautiful decoy, the charming girl she la at heart, that evolves a farm hand out of a dope fiend, and finally, brings out the better nature of even the hardened, sophisticated Tom Burk himself. In the hands of such capable artists as Thomas Meighan, Elinor Fair, Joseph J. Dowling, Betty Compson, and 'others of similar merit, this powerful story becomes a vital, living thing and one of the greatest dramatic spectacles the screen has yet revealed. MURRAY In his newest picture, "Nine-tenths of the Law", which is being presented at the Murray Theatre, for four days, Mitchell Lewis goes a long way towards strengthening his claim to a high place among the screen character actors. In roles of this type (the hunter, the trapper, prospector, more or less uneducated, except in the lore and traditions of the great woods, robust, hale and hearty, accepting battle under provocation, but never seeking it, endearing himself to women and children in the same way that he be comes a terror to certain classes of men about him one who laughs at great tragedies and weeps at trifl s) Mitchell Lewis after a diversified screen career in character roles has found his proper place, with the likelihood of permitting no second man to approach him. Twice in this picture he battles savagely with "Red" Adair, and lovers of a good fight will find their fondest expectation fulfilled in "Nine-tenths of the Law". The second fight picturized here is one that will take rank with his very best, and the "fans" know what this means. First Methodist Church Main and Fourteenth i streets, R. . L.
