ESCAPING INFLUENZA.
General Use OF Germ Proof Masks
Is Urged.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN--sF: To
combat the influenza there should BIO
an extension of the use Of gauze masks
from doctors and nurses to all persons
who are compelled by business or work
to mingle in crowds or to ride In Ill
ventilated trolleys and trains.
It should be recognized that doctors
and nurses. however able and plentiful.
can work only for the cure Of cases,
whereas to stem and extinguish the
epidemic a method of cutting Off the
supply Of new cases II needed.
II successful serum In found, that
will do II; II not the mask II the best
and surest preventive substitute. Used
now. while the serums are incomplete.
II would save thousands Of lives. Its
general adoption by order of municipal
authorities should not be delayed.

why not face the truth and tell the
truth about the tagging pace Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan in this part OF
the country? The cause is not the
epidemic OF influenza; 1t Is not peace
talk. The cause is KITCHENS revenue
measure.
With his taxes aimed Mt the sec
ton north Of Mason and Dlxon's line,
KrTcHIN set out particularly to
scrape the northeastern square Of the
United States to the bone. If his
taxes had been collectable yesterday
he would have done his job to per-
fection. They were not collectable
yesterday, they will not be collect
able until after the first Of the year,
but, whether those taxes are ade-
quately or inadequately revised by
the Senate, the industries, the bust
nesses and the individuals whom
KITcHIN has marked for stripping
must gather In advance their re-
sources with which to pay them.
Raling and scraping to meet krTcH-
ms taxes, they do not see as much
left to put into Liberty bonds as they
would like to put into them, as they
ought to put into them.
What is the use of fooling our
selves about this thing? What is the
use Of any spokesman for the loan
trying to fool us about this thing?
Those who see KITcHIN's taxes LOOM
INK before them can't be fooled.
There is no possible gain in fooling
anybody else.
But those very industries, busi-
nesses and individuals that have to
meet KITCHIN's taxes can be made
to understand, they must be made to
understand, that, Notwithstanding
what they are up against because OF
KrTcHIN, they still have got to do
all they possibly can do for this LIB
srty Loan. There Is nobody that can't
do something. There Is nobody that
can't do more than he has done. Let
him 60 and do 1t. Let him go Into
debt. Let him mortgage, II neces
sary, his future. The supreme sac
rifice, when demanded on the battle
field, is yielded uncomplainingly. in
deed quite joyously. Nothing thai
could be done by those who are al
home, not on the battlefield, is com
parable to that supreme sacrifice. Il
anybody. or anything, is compelled tt
put a whole future existence in paw
to win this war there must be NJ
failure to do SO to the limit.
Meanwhile. the great rank and fil'
Of the American people who are no
the targets OF KITCHENS taxes mus
also continue to buy more and NOR
of the bonds. They can pay for then
out Of their savings. If they aren'
saving enough now they must saw
more to pay their instruments. Thu
sacrifice is for them to make as 70
anybody else. And this paper. To-
one, has no doubt they will make II
every one Of them.
The men of big incomes and tn
men of small incomes, the men witt
pay taxes and the men who pay none
cannot permit the Fourth LIbert!
Loan to fail. They will not.

why Do Women wait9

What is to account for the failure
Of woman quickly to take advantage
Of her new privilege of franchise?
Registration is as much a part of
voting rs the actual casting Of the
ballot, yet the registration Of women
drags mysteriously. 4
1t was assumed, and the large num-
Der Of women who enrolled for the
recent primaries lent color to the MS
sumption, that women would be eager,
If not for the honor and the utility,
then for the novelty of the franchise.
Every young American man worth
his salt looks forward to his first
vote as sort Of festival; 1t is his
day to don the toga virllis. He regis
tiers the first day and votes early in
the morning. But women, allowed to
APPROACH the ballot box for the first
time, appear to hold back from the
necessary act of registration.
1t seems absurd to suggest that
intelligent holders of the franchise
have not memorized the saw, IF you
don't register you can't vote" yet the
theory Is put forward that many
women have not registered because
they believe that the act of enroll
ment performed tfst summer qua1f-
fed them for the important operation
of November 5. OF course that en-
rolment, which is rs dead now rs q
birds nest Of 1912, had nothing to
do with the qualification for voting.
Nothing but registration-an oppor-
tunity offered for the first time to
the woman of New York this week
| will permit her to vote next month.
Unless she goes to the polls on one
OF the three days that are left--to-
day, tomorrow and Saturday-she
cannot vote for Governor, Repre-
sentative or any other Of the i'm.
portant officers who are to be selected
Mt the coming election.
In this city before the war the
sexes were about equal in number
few thousand more women than
men. Now with so many men voters
gone to France the women voters
should outnumber the men. Yet the
first two days of registration found In
100 registrants II men to % women
OF course three days remain, but 1t is
surprising, as we have said, that
women have not been more eager ia
make themselves the political equals
of men and Of other and more watch
ful women.
Few will pretend that registration
Ia a pleasure, but 1t Is not severe
pain and the Job is done in Ave min
utes. 1t Is easier than marketing fol-
n dinner. 1t paves the way to the
VOTE and the vote, in year when q
House Of Representatives is to b,
chosen, and In this State a Governor
Is so important that no woman whit
cares anything about the conduct o.
her country should hang back.
All the political world is waiting Il
see what the women Of New York d.
with their first vote. But there viii
be no first vote for women who fail t
register. To-day-between 8 and
P. Ms the best time.

$50 SOLDIERS
AT A. c. I'LL

Fifty per cent OF the North Dakota
men who recently entered the voca-
fional training section at the State
Agricultural college have been strdck-
en- with influenza, five OF the pa
f1ents having developed pneumonia,
according to DR.. E. F. Ladd, presi-
dent OF the college.
DR.. Ladd announced today that the
cases have been developing rapidly.
there being 34 last Saturday, and
about so ON Monday, since which
time they have developed at the rate
of about 80 cases daily.
Only five of the patients have
developed Pneumonia and we have
every hope that the situation will not
become serious, inasmuch as we were
sn much better shape to care for the
men at the outbreak OF the new cpl
dennic, than we were at the time Of
the original Epidemic" said DIR.
Ladd.
The fact that the men making up
the third detachment at the vocation
al training school are almost entirely
from the rural districts, in which the
influenza had not gained much head
way when the men were brought to
the college, is accountable for the
fact that such a large percentage OF
the soldiers have been infected, ac-
cording to college authorities.
Work in the collegiate section OF the
college, DIR. Ladd announced today,
has not been interrupted by the new
epidemic, only two students in the
collegiate branch being i'll.
