Abolish the Dangerous Custom.

DR.. w. O. Cochran, president, and DR.. j.
Il. Lame. secretary of the California State
Board of Health, have issued little
pamphlet flled with interesting matter,
wise counsel and suggestion, designed to en-
list the good offices of the clerical profess
sion and of fraternaI society officials to
abolish the custom OF removing the hat at
funeral services in the open air. After some
historical facts in regard to head coverings,
the necessity and value Of the same and the
danger OF neglecting proper precaution
when exposed, they say: "Since the preva-
lence of ia grippe" the risk of outdoor ex-
posture has multiplied. Many cases of Sc
we're illness, and not a few deaths, have
been noted from this cause. The mOstcOm-
mon occasions of danger have been atten-
dance on funerals either as pail bearers or
mOurhers. In well-conduced funerals under
takers now frequently furnish skullcaps to
be worn by the pall-bearers. But
all rejecting persons will agree that IL re-
quires a stretch Of the Imagination to detect
the difference in the effect between the
wearing of an ordinary hat and the wearing
Of a skulleap on such occasions.
Barring the head at funerals is mere con-
yentiun that serves no useful ceremOnl0us
purpose.
Again they remark: "The custom Of TAX
ing off the hat in wet or cold or stormy
weather in the open air IS fraught with
danger"
The opinions of such gentlemen, eminent
in their profession, and having only the best
intent in view, should be weighty with all,
and it is to be hoped that their request to
clerical and fraternal officials, by effort and
example, to abolish the hurtful practice Of
removing hats in the open air. Will be i'm
mediately complied with Tor future pr0tec-
ton and prevention of danger.
