| superintendent who quotes figures by the
| bureau of statistics to prove his conten-

need for the citizens to be alarmed. for

can be said about this symptom is that
If it Ia fact, there must he an alarm

weather conditions get bad 1t will un-
doubleday Increase grip and cause many
deaths" Tho report was no doubt we'll
