One Hundred and Fifty-One New
Cases During TWenty-Four
Hours.

New York, July 27-Marker sue
cess has attended the treatment of

speedily recovering.
Special methods of caring for the
patients have been ADOPTED III connec.
tiCn with the uss of adrenalin, inlec-
tions of which are made directly into
the spine every six hours. One Of the
methods is supplying the patients,
when the conyalescent period starts,
with new dolls and toys. A happy
state of mind is great remedial
measure, DR.. Birmingham said.
Three more surgeons have joined
the staff of DR.. Charles q. Banks,
senior SURGEON Oll lHt tHilSu otdtoo
public health service, in charge of the
governments bureau for regulating in
terstate travel during the epidemic,
making a total of twenty-one surgeons

worst heat wave that has enyeloped

from the cryptic language of the

mobilizing on the weather drill
grounds in the Atlantic off Bermuda
for the last month and now has let go
the full power of its offensive from
the seaboard to the Rocky mountains.
For weeks it-has stood like solid
wall against heated currents trying
vainly to move out from the interior
over the ocean. and now as it swirls
rapidly along it is gathering heat and
moisture from the tropics and sweep
ing them northward over the conti-
nent into the vacuum of so-called Il

ENGLISH TYPE BECOMING
THINNER SAYS PROF. KEITH

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Is the national
English type becoming thinner than
it used to be? Professor Keith, be-
fore the British Association at Newcas
tie, said that John Bull is rejecting in
his physical being something of the
leanness of war-times.
Professor Keith told the association
that the face of the typical Englishman
is becoming longer and thinner. Lon
don is now full of colonial soldiers
bronzed, spare, lean, acquiline and with
prominent cheek bones, and the speak,
er infers that the English type in the
future will come nearer in their faces
to approximating these visitors than
the bluff, country squire, John Bull.
1t is pointed out that the typical
City Man" or financial district bus;-
ness man is perceptibly thinner than
was his father. The farmer has lost
his plumpness. The retired army Off
Ger is a sparer figure. Even the coun-
try squire-the last survivor of the now
fast-disappearing England-bears a
closer resemblance to Don Quixote
than to John Bull.

NEW MERGER OF THE INDEPENDENTS NOW SEEMS ASSURED
Several Concerns Mentioned As Figuring In NegO- tiatiOns Which Are
 In Progress

| New York, January 9.-(Special)-It is
 almost confidently believed here that a
 merger of the Cambridge company,
 Johnstown, Pa, and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, Youngstown, O., will soon be effected, and that the | Lackawanna Steel company, Buffalo, and l the Inland Limited company, Chicago, will be taken in later.
 1 Details are not obtainable at this time but officials of the American Iron and Steel institute with headquarters at 6l Broadway, hold this opinion with many others who are probably not in so good ton.
 During the last three years there has been constructed in the United States, anywhere from 3,000,0 900 to 5,0O0000 tons of steel ingot capacity, while during the same period only four or five new blast furnaces have been built.
 In view of this condition of affairs, and with full operations in steel mills con- tinuing as at present in the north, there would be a shortage of pig iron in this section-that is, throughout the north that would have to be made up by utlllz- ing southern furnace capacity.
 Basic steel is in great demand. and, it is believed, this demand will continue and increase. Therefore, those in a position to know believe that the southern outlook is better than it has ever been. All things, war included, seem to be com bining to create great activity in the south, or that part of it where steel is made, and it looks as if there would soon be no escape from prosperity for southern steel manufacturing sections.

WILL ASK FOR NEW TRIALS

Washington, January 9.-Althougn Attorney General Gregory tonight de, clined to comment on the verdict in the New Haven case, it is believed here that the department of justice probably will ask for new trials in the case of the five men about whom the jury was in disagreement. Some officials of the department were plainly gratified over the fact that so many of the defendants failed to secure ac. quittal, and took the view that the men about whom the jury disagree were the most prominent figures in the up. building of the New Haven system.
 Officials have been keenly interested in the outcome of this case. It was begun virtually a the direction of President Wilson, who took a decided interest in the negotiations between the department of justice and the present management of the New Haven which resulted ultimately in the separation of the New Haven and it's subsidiaries When negotiations to untangle the New Haven had dragged along for many months and apparently were at a standstill in July, 1914, the President wrote a letter to the then Attorney General, now Associate Justice Mickey holds of the supreme court. dlrectina

Louis Mann in "The Bubble''

AS an interpreter of broken German dialect character creations, in the the atre world it seems to be the consensus of opinion that Mir Louis Mann, who Will be seen here at the Jefferson the atre Wednesday for one performance only in his new play, "The Bubble" is without an equal. His excellent reputa ton as character actor has been established for several years, and 1T, his new play, ''The Bubble" he is calico upon to cre- ate a character altogether different from any of those in which he has heretofore been seen. The greatest minds in the world have never been able to solve the problem of what men may do when con- fronted with a great crisis. The character impersonated by MT. Mann is that of an eXcitable but lovable old delicatessen dealer, keeping always in mind the Gold en Rule, and when he is being swindled, the whole force of n-s ..ature bursts forth in open rebellion against those who would take from him his money in a fraudulent transaction. Mir. -Iann is said to make this character stand out in so forcefu a manner that it has been com pared strongly with the old German in ''The Music Master

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Flrst or all, let me make the assertion that am and for the past Il years have Deen, an enthusiastic admirer of The Age-Herald. I uphold it's claims. at all times, against all corners, to be the pre- nlier newspaper of the south." "If vou see It in The Sun, it's so," say the admirers of the great New York daily. Change sun to ASe-Herald, and you have my sentiments. The style, the type the head lfiss. the illustrations the editorials the advertisements and the comics are en- special articles, the selections, even the Joyed oy me and especially on Sunday evenings, when after the hard work of tne oaturday evening confessions and the sunday forenoon services, recreation is earned and in order do I take pleasure III t1ri1fng over The Age-Heralds pages
 This evening, however, for the first eime do lind I've have a crow to pick" The head and front of the offending is the editorial sermon on the Resurrection. At offends, not because 1t is a sermon; sermons of all shades of religious belief and unbelief have found space in The Age-Herald's news columns: vide The Ase-Herald files. It offends, because. be- 1ns editorial albeit signed, it identifies The Age-Herald, a secular and nonrelig- 1ous journal, with a belief that is repudi- ated by 300,000000 Catholics, who do, the opening sentence of the editorial sermon t. the contrary notwithstanding, believe most firmly, in the resurrection of the body. The personal and private views and beliefs of the author of the article are nothing whatever to me or to any one. That is his own business, pure and simple, and pr. Edmonds, my very good friend, were 1 to object, would promptly and rightly tell me to mind my own busi- ness; that he, like the cavalier poet, lin his soul is free and has a perfect right to any form of belief or disbelief in any, thing under the sun, religious or nonrelig- ious. I am not, therefore, objecting on that ground. but solely on the identifica- ton of my favorite Age-Herald with views that so grossly offend my religious belief.
 In the past I have read and enjoyed Dr. Edmonds editorial sermons Barring an expression or phrase or an odd word now and then that mes quidem iudicio tcbserve the saving clause), did not ring quite true, I found nothing to object to in them; rather, much to admire. The sermons were informing, extremely all truistic, broadly humanitarian, and non- doctrinal; and, as I have contended being editorial. not a news feature, is thereby sponsored by The Herald. The ser mon is, of course. a masterly piece of English, as are all Dr. Edmonds' writings is nicely phrased and delicately balanced and perfectly rounded out, built of fends my Catholic susceptibilities. for q believe in the resurrection of the body and will, I doubt not offend the sus- capabilities of many Catholic Age-Herald readers. This, of course, neither Dr. Ed monds, nor The Age-Herald intended to do; nevertheless, the fact remains, Iris true, tis pity and pity 'tis, tis true"
