New Evidence Shows Man Is Old In America Norman, Jan. 18. That man is a considerably older "institution" on the North American continent than has heretofore been believed, is the opinion of Dr. Leslie Spier, head of the department of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma.

Jenner, was asked whether she had ever had smallpox. She re plied, "Xo, but I have had cowpo. j Dr. jenner became interested in tne study of smallpox and in 17S8 an nounced that he could protect peo ple by the introduction of cowpox virus. Since that period, vaccination has proved so successful it has reduced smallpox almost to the vanishing point, according to Prof. H. H. Waite of the Department of liacteriology. To successfully immunize a person, he should be vaccinated within a year of his birth, revaccinated when he enters school and at periods of from five to seven years thereafter, with revaccinations in case of epi demics. Previous to the discovery of vaccination the death rate for smallpox was 1 in 10. The present rate in United States is 1 in 2500. Prof. White advocates compulsory vaccination in public schools. Dr. IL M. Ayres writing in "Fight Against Disease" gives experimental data on the vaccinal condition of the first 1230 cases in his county be tween February and July 1927. Not a single case of disease occurred in a child who had been successfully vaccinated before the epidemic, while among the unvaccinated school children of less than fifteen years, there were not less than 355 cases.
