London, Sept. 18.--According to a
London paper, truth of the prophecy
of Admiral Lord Jellicoe made last
spring that the menace of the sub
marine would be at an end in August,
is evidenced by the revival of holi-
day traffic with the Isle Of Man.
Crowded excursion steamers, 1t is
pointed out, would not be allowed to
navigate the seventy odd miles of the
Atlantic between the island and MAIN
land unless the chance of attack had
dwindled almost to nothing.
For the last four years visitors to
the Isle of Man have been mainly
German civilian prisoners for intern
ment.

USE OF PAPER CUPS URGED
TO PREVENT DISEASE SPREAD

Jackson Miss, Dec. 1S.-Dr. w. S.
Leathers, secretary Of the State Board
of Health, has written letter to the
| proprietor of soft drink esta blish-
ment in which he explains the order
of the board for the use of paper cups
and other receptacles instead of glass
es. He states that the Board of
Health has been making study Of
soda fountains for some time that
have been found frequently to be
poorly kept and in filthy condition;
that physicians know the germs of
consumption, Riggs disease, inf1uen-
"a, whooping cough, measles, scarlet
fever, syphilis and other infections
are found in the mouths of patients
suffering with these diseases-that
they are in the saliva, on the teeth
and lips, wherefore there is constant
danger of transmission at soda foun-
tains.
He says it is impossible to cleanse
glassware in cold water, as the germs
of consumption have been found to
live several minutes in a temperature
above PIP degrees Fahrenheit 1t is
therefore imperative that the Board
of Health take some steps to correct
the possibility of transmitting disease
at soda fountains.
There seems to be only two ways,
says DR.. Leathers, open to the solu-
tion of the problem-the use of paper
cups, or the use of sterilizer. He
says:
at is the opinion of the State Board
or Health that the paper cups. and re-
ceptacles are much safer and better
so far as information can be obtained
on the subject 1t will be necessary in
the use of paper cups, of course, to
keep them at the fountain in the prop
er way and to use the right kind of
cup in the metal holder The only
objection which SENS to be worthy of
consideration in the use of the paper
cup is the expense, and ! think that
this objection cannot be effectively
employed. The paper cups sell for
about three-tenths of a cent apiece or
about $3.50 per thousand and sundae
dishes $3.50 a thousand. think that
the people should have a clean pro-
duct, or as nearly clean as possible.
and l submit that three-tenths of a
cent is not too grent a price to pay
for cleanliness per cup.

PLENTY OF WORK FOR
ALL ASSURED.
With Reference to Employment
Questions.

New York, Dec 17.-Resolutions
cautioning all manufacturers against
"hasty action or conclusion in refer
ence to employment questions" were
adopted by the committee on readjust-
ment of the National Association of
Manufacturers, meeting in joint ses-
sion here today with the advisory COM
mittee of the National Council of In
dustrial Defense. The resolution pre-
dicted that "the normal demands Of
industry" will provide sufficient work
for all persons now employed, as well
as for the soldiers and sailors soon
to be returned to civil life.
Asserting that there appears to be
a "well defined attempt to create the
false impression that we are to eX-
perience in the near future an unheard
of cessation of industry" the resolu
ton declared indications are that the
country is ION the Threshold of an un-
precedented business expansion"
The present depleted stocks of
American stores and factories and the
of great expansion in ex-
port business we're cited as factors in
dicating good business prospects.
All members of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, it was said,
are pledged to give jobs to former en-
ployes returning from the military
service, and a plan was suggested to-
day for the establishment by manu-
facturers of factory Schools in which
disabled soldiers would be trained for
suitable work.
Advocating the government policy
of vocational training for disabled
soldiers, the manufacturers associa-
ton committee expressed the hope that
this work will be extended to include
disabled industrial workers and event
ually others who have had no oppor-
tunity of learning trade.
Action was also taken at the joint
it was announced, looking to-
ward enactment of legislation en-
the lower courts to ad-
judicate claims Of manufacturers for
for cancelled war con-
tracts. Such legislation, it was de-
clared, would facilitate settlements.
