XVIII NO. 229 OF THE EVENING NEW8 ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRATION IS TO BE HALTED Legion Post Co-operates With Health Officers to Prevent Epidemic. LOSS TO VETERANS Abandonment of Plans Means Financial Loss to Post Dread of Par alysis Expressed. Anxious to cooperate with the public health officials oC Douglas county la preventing au epidemic of the deadly infantile paralysis here, the American Legion Armis tice day celebration committee held a special meeting1 lust night and decided to abandon plans for the celebration here on November 11th. Instead of the football game, street parades, races, etc., the le gion boys have decided to limit this year's celebration to an Arm istice day ball to be held at the armory Friday night, Nov. 11th. No children will be allowed at the dance and every effort will be made to enforce this ruling. While Umpqua - Fost -depends largely upon Armistice day for funds to carry oa the work of the ensuing year, the veterans do not believe it worthwhile to - take a chance on bringing in outside foot ball teams and visitors and thus endanger the local children. Many plans have been made and some expense already incurred for the celebration-but the veterans are willing to stand the loss, be lieving that they - are doing the public a greater service In the abandonment of the celebration. The county health officials are loud in their praise of the action of the local legion post and declare that with continued cooperation of this sort It will probably be pos sible to fight off the occurrence of a local epidemic of paralysis. . The legion desires to thank all of those who. have already offered their-services for the day and an nounces that the 1928 Armistice clay celebration will be bigger and better than ever, being the ac cumulated enthusiasm of two years. ; s . .

Gray of Fort Madison, Lee county, Iowa America's average man has come to Chicago for a couple of days to give the big town the once over, meet some of the boys, take a peep, maybe, at the night life, and find out If Chicago hasn't a few "average" citizens of her own. Gray, who owns a one-man cloth ing store in . Fort Madison, was picked as America's "average man" .In an ingenuous survey of the country published in - the American magazine. Iowa was found to approximate most nearly the "average" state and Fort Madi son the "average" city. The folks in Fort Madison themselves picked Gray as being most repre sentative of them all and there fore as being the average man". The Chicago Herald and Exam iner Is host to Gray here. A re porter for that newspaper went to Fort Madison yesterday and found Gray selling an average top coat to an average fellow townsman. ' . "Suppose you come to Chicago", said the reporter, "and meet the people there and give them' a chance to see what most or them really look like from the other fel low's point of view. Mayor Thomp son is anxious to greet you. The folks want to hear your voice which they- must regard as: an echo of . their - own over the radio." - ... . The "average man" had' to :talk It over with his "average" wife and children to decide If they could get along without daddy for a day or so. Also, thero had to be found an average clerk to take care of the store while Gray was away. , . , , , On the train ride to Chicago with the reporter, Gray smoked two average cigars and chatted about subjects of average inter est. . "Bill Thompson? Sure, he mnkes a good mayor for Chicago. But I don't know about all that talk he is making over British propaganda in the schools," "Locarno pact? What's that?" ''Walter Johnson there's - a great hall player for you. Always plays clean. . , "Next president oh, 1 probablv Charley Hughes. Greatest Ameri can? Lindbereh. undoubtedly.' "Mussolini? He's got a good pub licity man. "No, Dempsey won't stage any comebacks. And say. that fight with Tunney was decided on Its merits. "Flappers? Aw, this chatter about the younger generation go ing to the bad Is silly. The young sters are all right. "Prohibition? Yes and no. You can't believe everything told you either by wets or drys. Don't drink myself, bo am not specially Inter ested." ' At the Herald and Examiner of? flee Gray was puzzled as to why a newspaper should want, his photo graph. "I thought newspapers printed only pictures 'of Important people or great criminals. But no matter. I'm average enough to enjoy the thought of seeiug what my face will look like when It comes out in print." He expressed misgivings when told he had been announced to make a radio talk. "Average I know. But what Is average In a speech?" , He was asked what he wanted to do today. 'Well. I'd like to look some or the stores over, the stores on State street and elsewhere." He was lukewarm toward sug gestions for night entertainment the theatres, night clubs. "No, I guess not, I go to the movies with the wife at Fort Mad son now and then and when there's something good and we've got a radio just an average one.
