HOW WASHINGTON
VIEWS DIPHTHERIA

Washington Star: Directing atten-
ton to the fact that there has been a
decline in the number of case of diph-
iberia in the District, the health de-
partment, in a report forwarded to the
commissioners today, urges co-opera-
ton on the part of the citizens with
the object of preventing a spread of
the disease
"Diphtheria is a preventable disease
and as such should be prevented
says the report. 1T is far better 10
prevent disease than to treat it either
i'm homes or in hospitals. The wise
thing is to take no chances.
at is a well known fact that those
who are associated or come in con-
tact with a diphtheretic patient do not
always show symptoms of the disease,
but nevertheless often carry diphthe-
ria germs in the throat These people
may spread diphtheria as well as those
who actually suffer with the disease
if they are not isolated
Treatment with antl-toXin should
not be delayed in positive cases, and it
should be given in doubtful or suspic-
ious cases. Early attention and early
treatment and minimizing those who
have been exposed are the means to
be used in connection with the iso}a-
ton of the patient to prevent the
spread of the disease"

But while speed is to be held out

general Judgment or a belief that ais
policy is seriously based by prejudice
or passion. The principal advocates
of ministerial responsibility to the
Reichstag are second to none in
prmsing his firm stand for peace
throughout his reign and his intense
desire to serve his people.

however, have made clear to thought

Roger Brcsnahan's bunch has

Austin and taporte tried their
best TO shine against the High

neither got a hit and each made
an error.
New York fans are demanding
that McGraw pitch Marquard

against the Pirates, yesterday, he
retired the side on strikes. Yet

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1s.-
The forty-sixth driver for the 500
mile International Sweepstakes race
at the indianapolis Motor Speedway,
May 80, has been named. Out OF the
entire field of nearly half hundred
cars, one pilot, that of the Benz car
entered by r. A. Moross. along with
the car to be driven by king Bob
Burman, was left unnamed. Billy
Knipper, the doughty little fellow
who won reputation at the wheel
Of a Chalmers BLUE Bird" and later
captured the Tiedemann trophy race
ct Savannah in November, 1910, Will
guide the other German motor crea-
ton through the long race.
Burman and Knipper are on their
way to the Speedway and will have
several days for workout before the
long race Is held. The car which
Burman will drive has $50 cubic
inches piston displacement while that
to be piloted by Knipper has but 444
cubic inches.
Most of the forty-six cars named
for the long race are at the two-and-
a-half-mile brick oval now putting up
their best performances for their mas
tiers. Faster and faster. they are
growing and when the eligibility
trials are started on May 26, all OF
them will be at their best. II Is well
they should, for every car must show
speed of at least seventy-five miles
per hour.
The start of the race is to be the
most spectacular In the history OF
racing. The halfhundred cars VIII
be brought up to the tape In about
four lines. Carl G. Fisher, president
of the Speedway, will lead the big
field the first time around the track
