INFLUENZA GETS
HOLD IN SCHOOLS
QUARANTINE WILL BE ESTAB-
LISHED IF EPIDEMIC BE-
COMES CERTAIN.

The Spanish influenza, which has
been making its rayages in the army
camps and more recently has shown
itself in the cities, very definitely APP
peared in this community today when
the schools reported considerable ab-
sentee lists for the first time this
year. In some Of the schools there
were as many as forty absent, where
as the normal list does not exceed
ten. The explanation, it was agreed,
was the influenza.
Considerable sickness was reported
also among the general population,
with no serious cases. The disease
ordinarily does not result seriously
if care is taken in the cases as soon
as they develop.
DR.. Eagle, health commissioner,
stated this afternoon that no action
had been taken towards the estab-
hshment of a quarantine in the

Women Asked
For Linens For
French Hospitals

A cab!egram has recently been re-
ceived at National Red Cross Head
quarters in Washington from the
French Red Cross Commissioner max
ing very urgent appeal for linen
for the hospitals in France.
Owing to the scarcity of such arti-
Giles at the present time 1t is thought
best not to buy these articles from
the. stores, as this would greatly de-
plete what is now small stock of
these things, but to make the appeal
direct to the housewives. They are
asked to contribute to a Red Cross
Linen Shower, which will be held at
the various Red Cross headquarters
throughout the country during the
present week.
The Martinsburg chapter must con-
tribute the following amount Of hin
ems of various kinds, as near the size
given as possible:
100 bath towels, 14x38 inches.
200 hand towels, 18x30 inches.
100 handkerchiefs, 18x18 inches.
400 napkins, 14x14 inches.
so sheets of heavy unbleached mus
lin, 64x102, are wanted. Nothing less
than 62x10O can be accepted. IA hem
two inches wide at the top and one
inch wide at the bottom are specified,
but should hens vary the sheets will
not be rejected.
1T is hoped that the linen shower
can be managed without the need of
making a house to house canvass.
Everybody is extremely busy just at
this time and the appeal is being
made through the newspapers in or
der to make it unnecessary to take
people away from their work.
Donations will be received at the
Red Cross rooms, on Tast Burke St
every day this week
