From Poverty, She Won BY JULIA BLANSHARD New York, Dec. 10. — An Enge lishman asked & group at tea the other day, “Doeg anyone here know Wanda Gag personally? After seeing some of her etchings at the Metro- politan Art Museum 1 immediately hunted up two for myself. Her name intrigues me as much as the vitality of her art." Someone in the group sat up straight. It was a woman from Minnesota. “Do I know Wanda Gag" she laughed. “About 12 years ago our whole community took sides on Wanda. 8She was a ‘little mother’ or a ‘stubborn child' depending on which side you supported. “wWanda never has weighed over 100 pounds. Then she wasa very slight little thing in her teena, looking about 13, oldest of seven orphans left destitute by the death of a Bohemian artist and his wite, Wanda had just finished a year at art school and won & New York scholarship. Our best families insisted she take it and let the county orphan asylum do its big for the three youngest Gags. - Put Away Scholarship #Wanda asked no advice, shut her scholarship up in the bureau drawer, turned a deaf ear to the orphan asylum and began to or- ganize. “The month for food and county gave them $13 & stale volla da taught school, her two next oldest alsters worked after school, they all drew Christmas cards and Wanda managed the five sisters and one brother. They all wore hand-me-downs. She was 25 be- fore she ever bought herselt & brand new dress! «iEat falr' was the Gag family motto, Wanda would take seven plates at mealtime and meticu- lously divide everything seven ways. Justice was ;l important as le rolls in her acheme. 'u"‘l'h- town stormed and talked ‘undernourishment.’ Wanda was adamant. Her little family’s in- tegrity and independence was far more important then full stom- acha. She weathered the gale, got two girls through school and ready to tesch and then amased the small town by selling off the ram- shackle old place their parents had owned and moving their few bits of furniture to Minneapolis wherc they were unknown and owed no one the courtesy of listening to bad advice. “Through these years of scrimp- ing, Wanda hadn’t been able to keep from drawing. Settled io & new place, she got out the old scholarship and dusted it up. found it could be renewed and rod€ a chatr car to a hall-bedroom ia New York. 8he told me once: “+perhaps the most disillusion- ed thing in life will prove to be my diacovery when 1 got to New York that what you wanted to do didn’t necessarily pay but that de- signing slenderizing clothes for stylish stouts, sketching fine frocks for the frivolous and simp- ring misses for magazines did.’ . “Ever practical and now goaded by the savage desire to be utterly tree economically, Wanda did com- mercial art for two more years, sending money home to the little Gags who fortunately were less little each day. Finally Wanda brought the whole family, one by one, to a New York tencment on the East Side. They were all now contributing. Wanda was frec! \ Finds “Tumble Timbers” “Retirement was what she wanted. She roamed the country- side and found a deserted house, cheap. ‘Tumble Timbers' 1s now Known to the world by the sand- paper portrait Wanda made of it. “Wanda is making up for the lost years, feroclously perfecting | this experiment and that. She hi ever written and illustrated charmingly a juvenile story book, ‘Millions of Cats' (Coward-Me- Cann, Inc) She is now experi- mengng in oils. ‘I do not know whether they will give me exactly what T want.

Infectious diseases have what is called an incubation period, repre- senting the time between the arrival of the germ in the body and the be- ginning of the symptoms. For in- fluenza this appears to be very short; namely, between 24 and 48 hours. ‘The onset of the disease is sudden. Extreme sore throat is unusual. The patient usually goes to bed prompt- ly with symptoms of chills and fever. Sometimes there is noscbleed, and not infrequently rapidity of the pulse. By the second to the fourth day the disease has become quite se- vere and thereafter, if the patient is tending toward recovery, it lessens in its scverity. Pains and Weakness There are usually pains in the| muscles, great weakness, headache, slight cough, sometimes severe tackache. In some cases also the bowels may be involved.
