unanimous agreement among meoic1l
experts that influenza Of whatever
name Is spread through secretions OF
those afflicted reaching the healthy.
All respiratory diseases are thus con-
veyed.
Cannot Stop Crowdins.
Both DR.. Phelps and DR.. Fowler see
the impossibility OF stopping the use
OF street cars and OF people being
thrown together in Office buildings,
theaters, and homes. They do not know
just how much good may be done BY
a campaign OF warning, but they feel
that the public in Washington should
be educated as quickly as possible
Without becoming unduly alarmed,
all the medical authorities of this
city realize that Washington, with
its present congestion, is a promising
field for the Influenza germ, and that
enlightenment Is absolutely the best
preventative.
DIR. Fowler may decide to use pla-
cards In the street cars, and Is sure
the street car companies win cooper
ate in every possible way with his de-
partment
The disease has not yet hit wash
ington in force Among citizens only
nine cases have 50 far been report
ed here, with one death. In the army
camps around Washington there
were sixty-seven cases Monday and
another sixty-seven yesterday, seven
OF this total developing into pneu-
monia, with no deaths
The familiar "don'ts" that 80 often
appear in newspapers all center
around the general idea OF avoiding
the germs sprayed by others. and
with the advice to keep in the fresh
air as much as possible, always hav-
ing your room sweet with the air
at night.
What To Do When You Get IL.
When you do get influenza every
doctor agrees that the quickest and
safest thing to do Is to get right
into your bed and stay there until
you are better. Get in between
blankets Is the advice OF many OF
them. Most cf them agree that plenty
OF hot drinks ic the next best thing.

- Districts Mapped.
For the present, the heart of the
District will be divided into forty
four districts. This combing process
will be extended to 142 districts in
the near future, so that every dwell
ling will be carefully scrutinized as
to its adaptability for housing war
workers.
Agents To Investigate.
This effort to get information will
be backed up by paid investigators
of the Homes Registration Service,
who will visit each room reported to
determine whether or not II IL in
condition to be rented to a war work
er. Recommendations will be made
as to alterations and improvements
to make such rooms homeiike and
comfortable.
There will be a stan at head
quarters to consider all landlord and
tenant cases which may arise under
the Salisbury resolution So far,
Capt. Julius Peyser has handled 1,40o
cases. and his staff will be so or
ganized that differences can be
speedily adjusted.
As rapidly as possible certain spe-
ciel. centrally located receiving sta
tions for incoming clerks will be or
ganized. At S21 and S25 Fifteenth
street such stations will be estab-
lished for the women's division Of the
employment service and the War Risk
Insurance. respectively, and Will re-
ceive emergency applicants. Other
houses requisitioned by the homes
registration service, II conveniently
located, will be used for this purpose.
The central registration office at
l4IO-14I4 II street northwest will be
open every evening, except Sunday,
until $50 o'clock. This applies to
Saturdays also. The offIce in the
Union Station will be open after 10
p. IA. and Sundays to supply open
night addresses.
Thus far more than 100 unoccupied
houses have been requisitioned for
housing war workers. The operation
and management of these houses
will be conducted under the newly
Formed organization, and the bust
ness will be transacted at the new
address.
Shifting Of Duties.
All matters pertaining to manage
ment, such as the making of leases,
payment of rents. and details as to
repairs will be conducted under the
direction of the homes registration
service at the new address.
The Washington committee on
equipment of houses has been d.scon-
tinued, and the work OF the commit
tee will be handled by the homes reg
istration service. There will be q
special section assigned to consider
8 applications for positions as matrons
for ,requisitioned houses. Not only
the Selection, but the supervision OF
the matrons has been assigned to this
new registry at 1410-1414 H street
