NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Health officer Reports Regarding
Dvphtheria at Phelps School,

DR.. w. C. Woodward, health officer for
the District. today stated to a reporter for
The Star that the facts connected with the
recent cases of diphtheria among children
attending the Phelps public school do not
justify alarm. In a statement made rela-
tive to the exact conditions at the school
mentioned, Dr. Woodward describes In de-
tail the several cases that have been re-
ported. and adds:
There is absolutely no reason for believ-
ing that the condition of the school build
ing was in any way connected with the oc-
currence Of these cases of diphtheria- All
necessary disinfection has been done from
time to time, including such dsinfection
as was rendered necessary by the brief at
tendance of the supposed tonsiltfs case.
The school, moreover, is under daily OBJ
seryation by competent medical inspec-
tor. There is no reason for alarm on tho
part of parents whose children are in at
tendance at this school building and no oc-
casion for the numerous absences which
are now occurring, 1t is said, on account of
current reports as to the prevalence OF
diphtheria among the pupils in attendance
at this building The records of the health
department are open to inspection by any
one whomsoeyer, and the department will,
upon inquiry, be glad to advise any inter-
ested person as to the exact status Of af-
fairs"
DR.. Francis P Morgan, medical inspector
in charge Of the district in which the
Phelps school is located, has sent COM
munication to DR.. Woodward. setting forth
that since sensational and misleading sto-
ries about the school have been In ctrcula-
ton the attendance has been very poor

tirely unnecessary, there being every rea-

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

AS an Illustration of the favorable condi-

as an evidence that the present financial
disturbance is confined to the stock market
the experience of business concern in this

The uniform answers returned were that
no inducement of this sort for an imme-

which shows that the need for ready money
Is not pressing elsewhere any more than

The market for local securities. as rep

The British Pistols Law.

From the Chicago Reccrd-Herald-
Great Britain's criminal statistics show
q very small proportion Of murders as COM
pared with the statistics of the United
States. The reasons for this are to be found
not merely in the stricter enforcement OF
law and in the heavier penalties inflicted.
but also in the pains that are taken to re-
duce so to speak, the facilities for murder.
A man with a pistol in his pocket may kill
another when he would not commit the
crime If he had to go to a store to purchase
the weapon. A man who Is able to buy a
pistol at any time that he has the price
may kill another when he would not do 1t
If the sale was under close restrictions
Such restrictions are imposed by a new law
passed at the last session OF parliament,
which British magistrates are now busily
engaged in enforcing.
The law provides In the first place that
every dealer selling or letting pistol must
enter the transaction in a record book that
will always be open to the inspection of the
police. In addition II prohibits the sale or
letting of pistols to persons who DO not nave
a gun or game license unless they are en-
titled by law to carry weapons without such
license or unless they are householders who
intend to keep the pistols in their own
homes or unless they wish the pistols Tor
use abroad. Furthermore, no one under the
age of eighteen, except in few exempt
cases. Is permitted to buy, hire, use or carry
a pistol under any circumstances. For vio-
lations of the law the penalties range up TO
SIS, but where dealer knowingly sells
Weapon to a person intoxicated OF not OF
sound mind the penalty may be a fine of
sl25 or imprisonment with hard labor not
exceeding three months. Good results are
expected from this law. especially as efforts
are being made to acquafnt the entire popu-
Iation with its terms, SO that offenders Will
have little chance to plead ignorance in ex-
cliSe of their acts.

American Physical Type High.

From the Los Angeles Times.
1t appears from the report of the surgeon
general Of the United States army that the
total number of candidates examined for
enlistment was 1925 and that Of this
number about two-thirds, or 3O176, were
accepted. This is large proportion. when
the fact Is taken into account that the
standard Of excellence required is very
high, none but physically perfect men be-
ing accepted. OF the 1928 applicants for
enlistment AZ, 1873 were white men and 3.O35
were colored men. OF the white men 81. 100
were accepted and of the colored men 1850,
Out Of every 1000 men accepted 7S1. O5, on
the average, were born in the United
States. 64.76 In British territory. AZ. 25 In
Germany and SO in Sweden and Norway.
OF eighteen American Indians examined
fourteen were enlisted as scouts It Is
interesting to note that during the year
1876 native Malays were examined for en-
listment as Philippine scouts and that of
these all except twenty were accepted,
showing a surprisingly high standard Of
physique among the Filipinos.

Great Foot Ball Contest is on
This Afternoon.
BIG CROWD PRESENT
ESTIMATED THAT 10000 TICKETS
WERE SOLD.
Yale Scores in First Half-Great In
terest Throughout the
Country.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November 21.-Witn
Princeton the undisputed foot ball cham
pion of the eastern colleges, Harvard anu
Yale will meet this afternoon to battle TOT
second place The contest Is to be played
in the new stadium field and the sale OF
tickets indicates an attendance OF nearly
40. goo spectators.
That so many persons are able to see the
game within a comparatively short dis-
lance of the gridiron is due to the con-
struction at a cost of nearly quarter Oh a
million dollars of the stadium, great
amphitheater. fireproof throughout, with
seating capacity far beyond that of any
sporting arena in the world.
Best of the Season.
Despite the fact that both Yale and Har-
ward have gone down to defeat In their
earlier games, Yale once to Princeton ana
Harvard to Amherst and again to Dart
mouth. this battle seemed to be regarded
in Boston and in Cambridge as the pre-
mier foot ball game of the season.
The weather was absolutely flawless. The
sky was cloudless and the air was crisp ana
invigorating. During the early morning
hours there was little or no wind Early in
the day excursion trains began to roll into
Boston's great station and the exodus 10
Cambridge began before noon.
Yale Favorite.
The expert refused to discuss the probable
outcome of the game further than to re-
mark that as a general proposition Yale
ought to win.
There was little betting, but the figures
of the wagers that were made indicated
Yale as a favorite by a margin altogether
reckless.
1t was stated by those in charge of both
teams that the players were In first-cla3 IS
condition. The lineup as given out TINS
