THE STATES WORK
Summaries of November Reports of State
Departments to Board of Control

have been reported 1923 cases OF
this disease this year, and the deaths
will show a higher point than ever
reached before. This is, of course,
partly due to more complete report
ing Of cases and to the fact that
deaths from measles are now attrib-
uted to tho disease instead of being
listed as broncho-pneumonia or some
other cause as formerly"
WhoOping cough is still one of the
most prevalent Of communicable dis
eases. the difficulty of quarantine be-
ing much greater in this than in most
other diseases. The tuberculosis rec
ord will be slightly better this year
than in 1915
There were made at the state labo-
ratory during November, 1117 exam
nations, nearly half or $40 being
diphtheria examinations, 100 tuber-
culosis examinations, Y syphilis ex-
aminations, 54 sanitary water exam
nations, 81 milk examinations and
lesser numbers Of examinations for
other purposes.

The Presidents Definition of
Germanism.

Imumerable articles and many books
have been written to define "Germanism
and show to the world what it means.
In his message to Congress December
4, President Wilson defines it as follows:
This intolerable Thing Of which the
masters Of Germany have shown us the
ugly face, this menace Of combined
intrigue and force which we now see so
clearly as the German power, Thing
without conscience or honor or capacity
for covenanted peace"
This Thing must be crushed, and if
not truly brought to an end, at least
shut out from the friendly intercourse Of
the nations, says the President, and it
is only when this Thing and its power
are indeed defeated that the time can
come when we can discuss peace with
the German people.

Soldier And Sailor Insurance.

The insurance offered by the United
States Government to members of its
military and naval forces has been called
the most just and humane provision ever
made by any nation for its soldiers and
sailors.
That its value and advantages are
appreciated by the Army and Navy is
evidenced by the extent which it has
been availed Of. Secretay of the Treas
ury McAdoo officially announced on
December ID, that 238,924 applications
had already been received, representing
$2,073, 72S, 500 of insurance.
The average amout for applicants is
$500, which is very little less than the
maximum of $4,000. The American
forces in France were prompt in awaiting
themselves OF the insurance, Gen. Per
shing himself subscribing to the maximum
of $4,000.

Insurance Commissioners.

The insurance commissioner has,
during the month, completed arrange
ments with all liability companies by
which they have agreed to change
the policy form in insuring automo-
biles to conform to certain new re-
quirements. Agents Of foreign fire
and casualty companies not author
lied to do business in this country
under the provisions Of the trading
with the enemy act" recently enacted
by Congress have been notified to
write no further business for these
companies. The insurance loss by
fire on the barn at the state prison
farm at Windsor has been adjusted
at $6,252.30 During the month the
department has placed insurance on
all of the state property except such
az was insured under separate poll
cies and in which others are interested
the amount Of the insurance placed
being S2,5S7 800 at a rate materially
less than what was formerly paid.
