SUMMER DAYS TO CONTINUE.
Just a Year Ago the City Was Elk

Il think We are safe now in venturing
the official statement that the backbone
of winter is broken the forecaster at
the weather bureau said today.
Further, the forecaster said Fair
weather and summer temperature will
continue In Washington and vicinity for
several days No change is in sight at
the present time. Temperatures during
the day will run into the eighties, fall
ing at night to somewhere in the sixties.
There is always the possibility of thun-
derstorms, which are difficult to forecast,
but in this region storms of this kind are
not common.
The hot wave which struck Washing
ton Monday continued today, although
the heat was tempered by strong breeze
that cooled the atmosphere during the
greater part of the day. Just year ago
Washington entered on the six-week hot
SPELL during which occurred some OF the
greatest torridity ever experienced in the
capital, with temperatures on the streets
as high as ITO degrees.

Ninety-Eight Cases Reported

the health department, in it's report for
that week. issued today, devotes consider

tions that may rise from the disease and
suggests methods Of avoiding, as far as
possible, liability to the complications.
Measles too often is spoken of as a
trivial ailment especially among the
general public" states the report, land
while the disease usually is benign in
character it should not be overlooked
that the total mortality may be consider
able Aside from this, measles may re-
such as impaired vision. loss of hearing.
and, perhaps. establish a condition which
may invite the tuberculosis germ.
Complications Cause Mortality.
Mortality from measles is not altogether
due to the disease itself, but to certain
compile atoms generally connected with
the respiratory system. the more common
of which are bronchitis and pneumonia.
To avoid as much as possible the liability
to any of these complications the patient
should in the first place be put to bed.

LEADERS IN THE SENATE
HAVE SPIRITED DEBATE
Mr.. GaIIinger Declares the
Longer Congress Stays the
More Harm Results.

A spirited debate took place in the
Senate today when Senator Borah
called up the House bill extending the
eight-hour law to labor on government
contracts.
Senator Gallinger took exception to
the provision prohibiting laborers on
such contracts from working more
than eight hours day, and he found
in 1t specimen Of pernicious legisla-
ton to which he charged there is a
present tendency.
Is Anxious to Vote.
Il am anxious to get VOTE he said.
Indeed / hope we shall vote promptly
on every measure coming before the Sen
ate, because the longer we stay here the
more harm We shall do the country. We
are to be asked to tear up the established
principles of the country, and We must
do away with the injunction.
"A member of the House has advanced
the idea that six hours is long enough
for any man to work, and suppose that
under the snap of the whip We shall
have to submit He closed with the
declaration that the tendency was most
vicious.
Saving that the eight-hour bill had been
before Congress LOT many years, MT.
Borah denied. that it was being pushed
through under the lash. Mr.. MARITIME sup
ported Mr.. Borah. saying he did not be-
lieve that 1.-The great God of heaven had
breathed into man the breath of life that
he should live to work, but rather that
he should work to live
Operation of Law in Jersey.
A reference by Mr.. MARITIME to the
operation of the eight-hour law in New
Jersey led Mr.. Gallinger to refer to
that state as the headquarters Of
anarchy in the United States. Admit
ting this to be true Mr.. MARITIME con-
tended that 1t was due to the Infamous
tariff SYSTEM which, he said. had made
a handful Of millionaires In Passaic and
Peterson, while 1t had produced squalor
and woe in the homes of most of their
employees.
Mr. Gallinger replied by predicting that
Mr. Marines Jersey farm, which had
been cut up into town lots, would soon
revert to its original condition of a black
berry pasture if the tariff ever is Destroy
ed.
Mr. MARITIME replied that he had built
up his farm by his own efforts and by
paying good wages to men engaged in
protected labor.
