Wearing of Mask and Ban on
Public Gatherings Ridi-
Culed by Detroit Health
Commissioner.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Instead of q
definite program for fighting inAu
enza outbreaks, the American Pub.
lie Health association adjourned late
today, giving copies to each of the
health officers attending the annua
meeting of all the medical and scien.
tifc data presented during foui
days and nights of discussion.
THE various communities for
which we are working will know
that we have at hand the best avail.
able information science has yet
discovered concerning the disease,
said DR.. Charles J. Hastings, Of
Toronto, Canada, the retiring pres,
ident, "but we cannot expect to
draw up a definite program for COM
batting influenza epidemics when we
see SO wide a divergence of opinion
among medical authorities as has
been shown here"
The organization of federal de-
partment of health, and the COM
bining of various semi-public and
private associations interested in
various phases of public health
movements was urged in an adore IS
by Dr.. George F. Vincent, head OF
the Rockefeller foundation.
Health Commissioner DR.. J. w.
Inches of Detroit led the argument
against closed public meetings,
schools, theaters <nd stores. He
1idiculed the use of the mask as not
a feasible measure in large cities.
On the other hand, DR.. ]. A..
Heyne of Charleston, S. c.; DR.. M.
J. Flanagan of Richmond. Va; DR..
w. r. Stokes of Baltimore and DR..
w. E. Moore of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
held that closing public meetings in
rural districts is efficacious.
DR.. w. H. Park of the committee
on vaccines said in that report the
disease was due to an undetermined
organism, and the dominating va
rlety of the organism differs accord
ing to various localities, His report
condemned the indiscriminate use of
stock vaccine" and held that the
vaccine should be used only in con-
trolled cases until its efficacy could
be established. He admitted that the
most generally used form of vaccine
offered some protection against the
secondary stages of influenza, but
little against the mild form of the
disease. and added that the vaccine
generally had not been used until
the peak of the disease, thus proving
little.
Frederick L. Hoffman of Newark,
N. J., reporting for the committee on
<ital statistics, said nearly 100000
had died in this country the last
three months and, that they were
chiefly men between 20 and 40 years
old.

Third Trial in Wood Suit
AGAINST Railroad BeuinS

The third trial in the 100000
damage suit brought by John R.
Wood against the Chicago & Mil
waukee railroad for the loss of both
legs in an accident in the Council
Bluffs yards, opened in Judge Es-
telle's court Thursday. The jury
disagreed i'll two previous trials.
Two men were excused from jury
service because they expressed the
belief no man could suffer damages
to the extent of 100000.
The accident in which Wood is
said to have been knocked down by
a swinging car door occurred nearly
two wears ago.

MUST EDUCATE
PUBLIC TOF|CHT
FLU EPIDEMIC
Manning Says Little Good
Would Result from Closing
Town Unless Others
Do Likewise.

The quickest and most effectual
method of Kidding Omaha of influ-
enza is to inaugurate campaign of
education.
This is what Health Commissioner
Manning told the Associated Retail
ers OF the city at a meeting Thurs
day afternoon in the rooms of Sec
rotary ]. w. Metcalfe.
Health Commissioner Manning
told the retailres it would do little
permanent good to put on the lid
and close up the town. This, he
said would be beneficial if every
city, town and community would
adopt the tight closing plan. How
ever. so long as such rule was not
applied elsewhere the disease could
not be kept out of Omaha.
There must be cooperation
among the merchants" asserted the
health commissioner, "and if the
disease is to be eradicated, they
must all work together" He urged
that they impress upon their patrons
the idea of early shopping and see
to it that as much as possible of the
trading is done during the morning
hours.
Urges Early Opening.
Opening the stores early in the
morning and spreading the trade
ever the entire day, the commission
er believes, would prevent large
crowds at any one time and con-
sequently would materially help to
prevent the spreading of the disease.
1t was recommended that there be a
limit placed on the number of per-
sons riding on elevators and it was
urged that people be encouraged to
walk down stairs instead of riding
The cars.
The matter of the best method
Of encouraging early shopping was
refeSred to the dry goods committee.
1t will meet in the office of Secre-
tary Metcalfe, room 733 Brandeis
building, this morning and submit
It's report.
The Associated Retailers resolved
mat beginning Monday, December
l6, and continuing to and including
December "a, stores of members will
be kept open until 9 o'clock each
night.
Retailers Of Kansas City, where a
street railway strike is now on, wrote
to Secretary Metcalfe asking how
merchants Of Omaha, handled the
situation. He informed them that
here the merchants placed automoo-
biles and auto BUSES at the dispos-
al of the public, bringing citizens
down town and returning them to
their homes, free, or making only
a minimum charge for the service.
The retailers went on record with
resolution endorsing the PROPOSE
ton of Mayor Smith looking to the
establishment of city market house
in some convenient down town To-
cation.
