PLAN FALL CAMPAIGN TODAY.
Chairmen of Board of Trade Stand
ing Committees to Meet.

The chairmen of the standing commit
tees of the Board of Trade will meet
at 4:1J o'clock this afternoon in the
board rooms to consider a campaign of
activity for the board during the COM
ing winter season. The meeting has
been called by the acting president of
the board, Arthur {. Moses.
That Mr.. Moses will be the next presi-
dent of the Board of Trade appears GER
tain. He is at present first vice presi-
dent OF the organization. and it has
been the custom of the board for many
years to elect the first vice president to
the office of president upon the retire
ment of a president. The death of Presf-
dent Thomas &. Moves has opened the
way to Mr.. Moses accession at the COM
ing election. f. c. Graham, who is
second vice president of the board. an
nounced today that he did not wish to
be considered for the Office of president
at this time. He said that press of
other duties would make it impossible
for him to give the necessary time to
the Board of Trade il the honor We're
accorded him.

AVOIDS BAD DISEASE
Washington Had But One Case
of InfantiIe Paralysis.
TWO EPIDEMICS REPORTED
Buffalo and Los Angeles Suffer
From Many Cases and Deaths
During Summer.

Two bad outbreaks of infantile paraly-
summer. according to the report of the
marine hospital service. but the mysteri-
Gus disease seems to have skipped
Washington except for single case. 1t
is impossible to say that the disease has
been eradicated in Washington. because
the scientists have not enough data 10
say what the source of Infection is and
the trouble may break out again AT any
time.
The two epidemics reported this sum
mer We're in Buffalo. y. Y. ard Los An.
geles, Cal Both have reached the sea-
sons maximum. and have begun To de-
cline. In the outbreak at Buffalo there
We're DO cases and thirty deaths. During
the week of September IA. however, there
We're only eighteen cases reported. and
this is a notable decline.
In the Los Angeles epidemic there were
249 cases. and at the height OF the out
break there were from thirty to forty
cases reported weekly. The last weekly
port showed only twelve cases.
Outbreak Is Belittled.
The report states that in both these
epidemics there was an effort on the part
of number of residents to conceal the
conditions and belittle the outbreak.
These residents even criticised the health
office wor giving publicity to the facts. 1t
WAS ound however, that in both cases
the publicity did no harm, and rather
helped the community in dealing with
the situation.
These facts lead the report TO deal III
some editorial comment rather unusual
in a government document. but of general
interest and application. The report says
in this connection:
The impression that publicity regard
ing such matters Injuries municipal inter
ests is based upon fallacy. The exist.
ence of an epidemic cannot be concealed
very long. and the absence of frankness
in regard to the situation under these
conditions produces a fear and suspicion
that it takes some time to overcome.
There is nothing that inspires so much
confidence in the ability of community
to cope with a sanitary problem as franz
ness, and honesty at all times in stating
existing conditions. 1t shows that the
community has the situation in hand and
that it has sufficient confidence not TO ne
afraid to inform others as to what is 60
ing on The ethics of concealment OF
epidemic conditions is, of course indie
fenSible.

CIGARETTE SALES INCREASE
 20 PER CENT. DURING YEAf

The attention of Lucy Gaston Page and other national enemies of the vile cigarette" Is called to the fact that the consumption of that class of smoke is increasing at the rate of about 20 per cent. year.
 The United Cigars company, a p part of the tobacco trust, which the government recently struck on the wrist with a reorganization or der, is selling 100000, 900 boxes an nually as compared with an even 1000, 100000 before the order was issued.
 These figures appear in the an nual report of the company for the year ending June 3O Reports of other companies show similar increases in the popularity of the cigarette Whether this is due to the fact that they are becoming more popular among society women, or whether Miss Page has relaxed her vigilance does not appear.
