Remarkable Record

(From the Des Motnes Register and Leader.1
"Why has this season of the year become
known a. the pneumonia season? Why dur
ing the closing week of the cd year were
there more deaths in Chicago and New York

are pneumonia and related bronchial trou-

and solely because we are devoting too much
ingenuity and energy to lodging the fresh

months refrigerates our latitude.
II is believed now that pneumonia is an
infectious disease, and that in the cities
where the death rate is growing so rapidly
it IS communicated IN the heated and crowded
cars. A nickel is 50 small, and the cold air is
so chilling, that the American people are for
getting how to walk. The old time red that
burned the cheek of childhood does not visit

twelve months, not even the red of chilly
and pinched nose. We are getting afraid OF
the climate, and as q result, the climate is
taking Its revenge.
The mere habit OF turning up coat collars
has killed thousands Of people, and the fur
boa has long list 20 its account, for no part
of the human body becomes delicate more
quickly because of superfuOus covering than
the throat. And yet we are multiplying
devices for turning up more coat collars. II
Is not too early to recognize that this is all
wrong, that our climate is here to stay, and
that if We are going to live in it with COM
fort we must accommodate ourselves to it.
It will pay TO keep on good terms with the

CARLTON WALL AND
BRIDE ARE BACK
Alameda Society Folk, Who
EIOped East, Return From
Honeymoon

ALAMEDA, March S.--Mr. and Mrs.
Carlton Wall, whose wedding at a fash
ionable New York hotel. following upon
race across the continent, surprised
society folk here. have returned to Ala
media from their honeymoon. They are
staying with Wallis brother, E. NJ Wall,
Of 1911 Central avenue. 1t is the in
tention of the couple TO live in Califor-
MIA. although the groom while in the
east received many calls to other cities
from business connections.
Wallis marriage to Mrs. Violet Kes-
ner ended her aspirations to go on the
stage, she preferring to become a wife
rather than an actress. He left Ala
media for New York more than month
ago, and during his absence he has ac-
complished considerable business per-
tanning to Techau's tavern, in San
Francisco. which he is building at
Powell and Eddy streets. He said to-
day that he had signed the musician
Rigo on a six months contract to en-
tertain at the tavern, and Wall also
announced that the cafe will be one
of the finest in the world, with 100000
June I.
In discussing his personal affairs
Wall said:
My marriage was hasty. but hard
~ thlnk unexpected, although we SAID
nothing definite about our plans My
family has cordially received us, and
we are staying temporarily with my
brother. ] believe my mother and sister
will go east, in which case my wife and
will occupy my mothers home during
that time. 1 think they are reconciled
to my marriage.
Il have no intention of going east
permanently. My interests are here.
and ] purpose to build a home of my
own here in Alameda"

OPPOSES ADVENTURE
OF RACIAL STOCKS
Eliot Says Policy in the South
Is Wise One

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March S.
There should be no admixture of
racial stocks said retiring President
Eliot of Harvard university here today
Il believe. for example, that the Irish
should not intermarry with the Amer
leans of English descent; that the Ger
mans should not marry the Italians;
that the Jews should not marry the
French.
Each race should maintain its own
individuality. The experience of civ
ilization shows that racial stocks are
never mixed with profit and that such
unions do not bring for the best and
strongest children. There is no reason,
however, why the races can not live
together. side by side, in perfect peace
and amity.
In the case of the negroes and the
whites the races should be kept apart
in every respect. The south has a
wise policy. / believe that Booker t.
Washington has the right ideas, and
that Dubois is injuring the progress of
his race with his views"
