INFLUENZA GAINS
 366. VICTIMS IN 4S HOUR PERIOD
Record Shows 4,675 Gases and 163 Deaths at 9
 a. m. Today.
NURSING PROBLEM
 IS AGAIN SERIOUS
Isolation Hospital Figures Published-Factories Now
 Request Use of Vaccine.

With 23O new cases of Span ish influenza reported to the health authorities for the 24 hour period ending at 9 o'clock this morning, and 366 in 48 hours, Dr. Walter H. Brown re- iterated his statement of last week, saying that he believed the epidemic is on the down. ward path in Bridgeport. As sistant Surgeon c. s. Sandige of the U. s. Public Health Service is in agreement with the health officer. Twenty deaths occurred over the weekend, and the in f1uenza record in this city at 9 o'clock this morning showed a total of 4,675 cases and 163 deaths.
 The nursing situation has again be- come serious, and while the authori- ties say they are just able to keeE | their heads above water at the Isola' tion hospital, a large number of wom- en are needed to act as nurses aids not only at the hospital but to assist the visiting nurses.
 Dr. Brown said this morning that | in many cases it is the difference be- tween life and death to have a. wom- an come in and care for sufferers ir | boarding houses and homes where they are unable to receive proper care and attention. Bridgeport has cer- tainly been lax in it's response to the appeals for aid made by the Red Cross, Health department and other organizations. While we need a mum Der of trained nurses we can get along with our present supply ii enough women are willing to SC into homes and just sponge the face of a patient who is burning with fe yer and fix the bed, etc., to answer our appeals"
 The Health Department and the
 Red Cross, will today make a specia
 effort to obtain this kind of aid. Al
 patriotic and humane residents of tht
 city are urged to volunteer by get
 ting in touch with either organiza
 tion at once.
 Figures made public by Dr. BrowI
 today show that since the start O the epidemic, PIP patients have beer admitted to the Isolation hospital a l Hillside. Practically all of this mum Der were the most serious case
 brought to the attention of the de
 partment. Sixty-siX patients hav'
 been discharged as cured, 76 died a
 the institution, seven have been trans
 ferred and 6S are occupying beds. ' Several Bridgeport factories ar l applying to the health departmen
 for the administration of the vaccin !, received in Bridgeport. Dr. Brow . said that he is able to furnish all tn , vaccine necessary for the inoculatiens g but that he Is no longer able to fur nish the physicians necessary to tn work. The health officer said tha Il the vaccine was offered to the fac tories some time ago, when doctor of the U. S. Public Health Servic were on hand to administer it, an that the Remington company was tn t only concern to take advantage o | the offer.
 - He said that he did not advocat
 its use and that he does not advocat . it now as the process is still in @
 experimental stage, but that he wi = furnish it on demand. The factorie n will now have to furnish their ow U physicians.

That Ardmore stands an excellent
chance Of being placed on the Bank

and that people along a route which
leads from Little Rock to Dallas, Tex
as; also people from Little Rock to Ok

ton.
Interest is being awakened on still
another route, which leads via Durant
