OFFICIAL REPORTS SHOW
INFLUENZA is GAINING

Influenza is spreading in Ohio. This
fact was apparent Monday in a sum-
mary of scattering reports from the
various parts of the state to the State
Department of Health.
Stopping of public gatherings until
the danger of an epidemic is past was
recommended by the department as
the only effective means OF lighting
the disease. Quarantine of individual
cases was said to be of slight value,
because of the rapidity with which the
disease spreads and because the most
highly contagious period is at the on
set.
The most serious outbreak yet re-
ported among the smaller places, are
at New Concord, the seat of Musking-
UNI College, where $50 cases and two
deaths have been reported, and at
Washington C. H., where case esti-
mates run above 1000. Chillicothe
and Xenia have epidemics in the open
ing stages, and outbreaks are reported
from Norwood, Blanchester, Tiffin and
Wellston, besides nearly all of the
larger cities, influenza being "crowd'
disease. Camp Sherman medical au-
thorities are battling serious cpl
demic and claim to have it under con-
troll
Influenza appears to have been
brought into Ohio principally by men
from military camps and from the
Great Lakes naval training station,
according to state health officials.

WEATHER RECORD
BEFORE 1860 WANTED

What do you know about the wealth
er before 1860? This is question be-
ing sent out by the United States
weather bureau, Columbus, and the
Ohio Experiment Station, Wooster, to
secure old records of weather condi-
tions, such as unusual cold spells, hot
spells, dry spells, wet spells, frosts.
snowfall, floods, local and general
storms.
A full comprehensive history OF
Ohio weather, to cover the entire
period from the first settlement in
1788 to the present time, is the object
of information wanted. Since 1860 the
weather records are much more COM
plete than before that date, but the
officials believe that much valuable
meteorological data may be found in
old family archives, private and public
libraries, diaries, and old newspapers.
Such material when collected will also
present long-desired scientific lnfor-
nation for botanists, soil specialists
and plant pathologists, it is stated.
Even eye observations of the wea-
ther become useful in the absence OF
records and every item bearing on the
early weather history is wanted; its
source, if known and reliable, should
be given. Full credit will be given to
those rendering aid in securing the
| old records.
