 Miss Lynch pointed out that the
 women, no matter what their profess sion, cannot see much Of the war. In
 her experience in the war zone Mics Lynch met many interesting nurses,
 but their freedoms were limited. When the war broke out Miss Lynch was in Europe on a vacation and ten days
 previous to the outbreak of the con- f1ict she was in Paris. While on a

Cases reported from Oct. 1 to Oct. l5-3S, showing a marked ecline.
 A peculiar thing about the death rate rate is that in some localities it is par ticularly high, in others low. For in- stance, Willimantic with 26 cases had a death rate of over 50 while Green wich with 45 cases had a rate of 13.
 Estimated percentage of New York cases or contacts of the total reported: July, 50 per cent. were New York chill dren or contacts; August 20 per cent were New York children or contacts September, per cent. were New York children or contacts.
 Ages of cases, as reported in Con- necticut, are as follows: Under F years, 90 per cent; from 10 to 20, s per cent; over 20 years, per cent
 Sex of the first 700 cases reported: 301 female, 3S5 male, IA unspecified.
 While accurate statistics are not yet available, it is roughly estimated that at least 60 per cent. can be traced to contact infection, with approximately 10 per cent. being secondary cases in the family or house.
