Nothviths,znding the death Saturday
OF Miss Emma B. Ward. 5o7 B street
northeast, from infantile paralysis.
officials of the Health Department are
not fearful that the dread disease will
make any gain In this city. Miss Ward
was the first to be reported as having
suecumbed 10 the scouage in Washingto
since the epidemic began.
No new cases were reported yesterday,
and the recovery OF Milton Harrison,
1913 Potomac avenue southeast, was rec
orded. Harrison was taken Ill July 10
and was reported as suffering from
infantile paralysis on July 16. His re-
lease leaves only three cases Of record
In the District.
Owing TO the epidemic of infantils
paralysis and the protracted spell of hot
weather, the Health Department has
issued the following bulletin:
The chief cause Of sickness and death
in infants is improper food.
The chance for food to become unfit
for use Is greatest in the warm months,
because at this time the liability to in
fection with disease germs is greatest, also
food is more apt to be spoiled by heat.
Again, the delicate machinery OF the
child's body may be disarranged by heat
and humidity and rendered less able to
resist the attacks OF disease germs or the
poisons contained in spoiled foodstufrs.

Loew's CoIumbia-Mary Pickford.
"Hul6a from Holland" In which Mary
Pickford appears in the title role is the
feature photoplay at Loew's Columbia for
the first half Of the week. Miss Pickford
Is a typical little Dutch girl, as lovable
as she Is quaint. The story Of "Hulda
from Holland is admirably suited to her
personality. 1t tells of the efforts OF a
railroad to secure the right of way and
OF the only stumbling block a house
and property owned by an old Dutchman.
This Is Hulda's uncle. He has sent to
Holland for the girl and her three young
brothers. They arrive, but while the un-
Gle is looking for a conveyance he Is hit
by an auto and taken unconscious to q
hospital. The little family is taken In by
kindly woman, at whose boarding house
Is Allan, son of the railroad magnats,
turned out because he preferred art to
law. Hulda and he meet and fall In love
The uncle recovers and hnds them, tax
ing his relatives to his farm. Meantime
the magnate sends for his son, telling
him he will give him a large sum IL he
will visit the stubborn Dutchman and
make love to his niece, getting her to in
fuence her uncle to sign the transfer.

Much Ado About QuaCk

rejoices over the fake meeting O

because it (L'Observateur) haI

We have always said that per
sonal aggrandizement was the
sole object of L'Observateur's
bitter campaign, and its accep,
tance of the official journalshir
at the hands of the so-called po-
lice jury verified our former state

full of the manner in which
L'Observateur decried the $500

same was excessive and should be
let out by contract. Yet when

No Justification for A Strike
Editorial in The New York World,
June l6, 1916

The conference of railroad
managers and repr esentatives of
the four brotherhoods of railroad
employees over wages and hours
has definitely ended in failure.
The next step must be taken by
the brotherhoGds and this may
mean a strike.
A strike which would paralyze
railroad transportation over the
whole country ought to be un-
thinkable. 1t would certainly be
unjustifiable under the circum-
stances.
The brotherhoods started out
wrong. Their demands for an
eight-hour day as a mere basis
on which reckon overtime. with
time and a half for overtime,
were extreme, and their repre-
sentatives wore not permitted TO
modify them.
1t was a case for the railroads
of accepting all or rejecting all
The rejection of demands cal
culated to cost the roads $780,
QUO, 600 a year more in wages is
not cause to justify a strike.
To force on the roads such a
charge, which would be passed
on to public in higher rates and
then higher cost Of living all
around, is not an attempt which |
can bring the power of public |
opinion to the support of the |
brotherhoods, already favored by |
general wage advances.
Let the brotherhoods make their |
demands elastic enough to admit |
of reasonable negotiation. Short I
