EARLY HISTORY OF TYPUS
 FEVER

Lice are not generally mentioned in polite society. Even in scientific circles they are referred to as 'pedi- culi," in order that the sensibilities be not shocked. But the discovery of the transmission of typhus fever by these little pests of man has given them a new importance, especially since typus mas broken out in Euro pean armies A recent paper by Dr. Fischer of Vienna gives the early his tory of typhus in relation to the "lice plague" now so formidable in East ern Europe. The routine history of typhus, it's description by Fracastor- jus 1533) and as 'tarbardillo" by Francesca Bravo (1570), the suburb account of Pringle 1752), the att
 empts to differentiate it from typhoid by Willis (16i3), Huham 0737, Hid ebrand 0S10l and others, the final and classical differentiation by wv. Gerhard in .Amercia (183O and Sir William Jenner in England (1S49O, and the subsequent developments up to the time of Plotz are well known. Dr. Fischer lists the mauy curious names given to the disease in the sixteenth. seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries and states that the first des- cription of Lee as an accompaniment of typhus was given in series ot ob- servations on Hungarian camp dis eases. published by Tobias Cober of Gorlitz in 1906, and reissued by the anatomist Meibom in 1885. A transla- tion of his quaint description of the later nuisance is given in recent is- sue of The Journal of the American Medical Association:
 "With these foregather the terri ble pediculi, hardly to be thought ot without a sense of discomfort, which in themselves through their constant promenadng and sucking of the body, are enough to stir up ones bile. For it is impossible to avoid the bites Of these miserable creatures, especially in the first years in the field, as they enjoy a sort of right of citizenship Tn all camps. The atmosphere IS so luke warm mild and stuffy that when cloth as which have been washed in swamp water are exposed to the sunlight they are seen to swarm with these 'ver- mibus Syllanis." One cannot hope therefore to get away from these con and cannot even think of them now stant attendants and companions, as they seem to rise from the very mols- ture of the body itself. At flrst l thought to id myself of the pest by constant change of newly washed clothing. but even this seemed to bring them more and more into play instead of destroying them. And thls can. as I bear witness, drive man into fury. For as often as l was bitten
 by these miserable, abject animal cules, I give full rein to my anger fairly gnashh.g my teeth with rage
 without vexation. .. One cannot waro off these armed six-footed Turks even
 with iron and steel. Aho
 among many soldiers have noted the frightful spectacle that this fearful
 nlapue of lice had gone far enough tc
 cover the whole nape with ulcers, the flesh not ouly excoriated to the breath
 of one or two fingers, but actually
 excayated. the men condemed to this miserable fate dying with groans anc

NO WORK
In London for Those Whose
Business is TO Procure Work
for Those Out Of Work.
tnY Aa,eeIA1rp .ar.n,


LONDON. Oct. 1s.-The Central I'm
employed Body for London has prac-
tically gone out Of business because
there is no work for 1t to do Organ
lied primarily to find work for the
unemployed in London it now finds
there are no unemployed to find work
for. The war, so far from increasing
unemployment and poverty, as was
generally anticipated when the con-
flict began, has had the contrary
effect.
After nearly fifteen months Of
war;" said Mr.. Brinsley Harper. pre-
siding at meeting of the organiza-
ton. there is not only no evidence
of distress but there is abundant evil
dence of abnormally plentiful employ
ment and exceptionally high wages.
Nor do the reports we have received
indicate that the increased cost OF liv-
ing has led to an increase Of poverty
and destitution. A partial explanation
may be found in the fact that owing
to the great demand for Juvenile labor
young wage-earners have been able
to supplement the family income to
an unprecedented extent"
Under these circumstances, Mr..
Harper explained. 1t had been decided
to close most OF the Offices OF the or
ganization and to retain only enough
clerks to keep the machinery at the
head Office going.

believe all intelligent readers real,
ize that war is as expensive as it is
cruel; but unless one is enough con-
cerned to study the economic feature
of equipping large armies with the
modern machinery, such as is now be-
ing used In the terrible struggle be-
tween the Teutons and the Entente
Allies in their "life or death" conflict
In all Europe, he will hardly compre-
bend the enormity of their daily ex-
pense account.
In previous wars, field artillery was
of small calibre, measured by the
weight OF the projectile used, general
ly from four to eight pounds, and
never more than twelve pounds. This
was because they were considered too
heavy to move with an army through
n hilly or marshy country. But one
reads of the heavy guns now being
used in the war in Europe. though i
cannot quite understand by what pow
er they are moved from one position
to aonther.
Permit me as briefly as l can to
give you some figures in the cost OF
constructing and supporting some
large guns now being constructed In
our navy yard at Washington. While
in that city recently l, in company
with others of this county, was taken
through the navy yards by pilot who
gave us some interesting lectures con-
corning the size of guns, cost OF maxi
ing. etc. Here is some figures given
of gun then in process of construc-
ton, the largest model ever made by
our government. It's size was fifty
two feet long, fourteen-inch bore, and
would throw projectile Weighing
200 pounds twenty miles. Each time
this gun is fired It will cost Uncle
Sam $500, and the life OF the gun will
end when 1t is fred 100 times, and
will be ready for the Junk pile. The
cost to make this gun when ready to
place on the fifteen million dollar
dreadnaught now being built at the
Newport News shipyard will be
$4,000.
Think Of the enormous forceit must
require to hurl piece Of steel weigh
ing more than half a ton twenty miles
through space, then think again OF the
nrohahilitx that this fifteen million

This Is a machine gun OF the latest

to produce enough ammunition to feed
the machine sixty hours to its full

do get mixed up in this world struggle,
where we would have to use several

require the work Of large army OF

People are inclined to complain
land perhaps JUSTIFY that it is costing
the public a billion dollars year tc
meet the varied expenses OF our gov
eminent in time of peace. Let us be
thankful that we are not engaged in 9
war that might cost US a billion q

be closed now, the nations involved
would be bankrupt, and its people
would be in abject poverty and slav-
cry for many generations hence. The
thought OF the suffering. these people
must undergo Is revolving to normal
human being, and we should profit
by their foolishness.
Because these people are Ions
ways from US, we may be inclined to
think but little of the awfulness OF
their real condition. but we should
remember they are real human beings
as we are, and their sufferings are as
great as II they lived here among us.

Such monster guns as described are

ness are a nuisance when launched

Scientists have discovered that the

for making remedy, for practically

MISSING YALE MAN
MAY BE IN CANADA
Relatives Think Dependency
Over Examinations Drove
Bishop to Uncle's Camp.

Bridgeport. Conn. June 14.-Rela-
tives OF Warner Bishop, the Yale sopho-
more, wno has been missing since
Thursday, say there is nothing UNI
usual in his disappearance. Depressed
over his examinations, young Bishop
is believed to have gone to his uncle's
camp in the Canadian woods. Private
detectives employed by the missing
mans father, Nathaniel W. Bishop, are
trying to verify this belief.
Bishop, who is twenty-five years old,
was last seen in New Haven in his
dormitory, Haughton Hall, on Wednes-
day. On Thursday he returned to his
home here, at 301 Park Place. He stayed
there until 9 o'clock, when he went to
visit Miss Margaret Nolan, at 285 Gold
en- Hill Street. Miss Nolan, a trained
nurse, has been a stanch friend Of
Bishop ever since she nursed him
through an illness, three years ago
Miss Nolan had gone TO bed when he
arrived, but she dressed TO receive him.
He stayed until shortly before IL
o'clock, taking the 11:ll train for New
Haven.
T.. police of this city, New Haven
and New York were not notified, as the
matter was placed in the hands of a
private agency. Nathaniel Bishop is

ing Company, of this city, makers o.

Although it is not known whether
the liquor interests had anything 70
do with Mr.. Ackley's resignation, the
fact remains that Walter Fenley,

sey Liquor Dealers Association, as

Fenley not only was a visitor at the
Sunday party's residence during the
campaign here, but was once the per-
