Scarlet fever is unusually prevalent
in Kansas, according to an announce

of the first class reported $50 cases
of scarlet fever Since only LAS

of last year is taken by the state
board to indicate that scarlet fever in
Kansas is on the increase.

proves that the mildness of COM
municable disease tends to encourage
epidemics, due to the fact that this
very mildness makes people careless
of preventive measures. The depart
ment, therefore, wishes to encourage

cases, not only on the part of physi-
clans, but on the part of individuals.

control. will he presented to the Central
Labor Union tonight.
John y. Colpoys. secretary Of the

The uncalled for suspension OF car

The companies owe the public un-

franchise they'received free from Con-

would be given.

Schools Affected

Pupils and Teachers Start Early

Suffer Most.

Early reports indicate that the high
schools suffered from tho effects OF the
street car strike to greater degree
than any other section OF the public
school system.
But the high schools did not suffer TO
any real extent for the reason that
everybody seems to have started to
school early. The teaching staffs of
none of the schools were affected by the
strikG- but the attendance was slightly
reduced.
The Western High School was the
principal victim, according to the early
reports. About 20 per cent of the pupils
only appeared to be present. IL was re-
ported. The teaching stan was intact.
however.
At the Business High School there
were no members of the teaching stan
missing. and the attendance was up TO
the mark so far as had been determined.
The teachers OF the Business High
School arrived a bit earlier than usual.
The Eastern High School reported one
teacher absent, but the absence was due
to other causes than the strike.
At Central High School the teaching
stan was intact. but there were some
few absences reported.
In the graded schools both the pupils
and teaching STAN were reported to be
normal.

Cars Less Crowded Than
Usual in Spite of Strike

Although fewer cars than usual were
operated today. they were not nearly
as crowded as usual.
Even during the rush hour cars ar.
rived at Fifteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue carrying but thirty or
forty passengers. At this time on other
mornings the average has been nearer
eight or ninety.
Various reasons are assigned for this
condition. From some sources It is
claimed that the stoning of the car
last night on Rhode Island avenue has
held people of the cars for fear of a
recurrence.
Others declare that great deal of
