MOVIES SPREAD
 INFLUENZA IS
 NORTHROP IDEA

Tn an interview today, Joseph W. Sorthrop, the well known architect, atvocated closing theatres to avoid the spread of Spanish influenza. He said: 7
 If the health authorities are really in earnest in fighting the present cpl 1emic in Bridgeport why do they not close the movies and the theatres? Many people have expressed surprise that these sources of contagion are allowed to continue.
 "It would be hard to imagine a surer way of spreading disease than by means of the movies and theatres, with their mixed crowds from all sec- lions, but mostly from the poorer homes where disease Is most apt to prevail.
 'It is unlikely that at the present lime, with the great number of cases of the prevailing sickness in the city, any audience of the movies or theatre Is free from persons who might spread rontagion. We are told that no one has to go to these places; true, but they do go, and will, and these places are @ menace to the community, and it surely Is the business of the health authorities to take all possible means To protect the oity.
 If the epidemic continues and in- preases, 1t may become necessary to slose schools and churches; but these lre far less a menace to the com munity than the theatres and movies
 Surely, the profits to the proprie- tors of these paces and the passing peasure of the crowds for a short time, are not to be weighed agains she health and safety of the com mun1ty."

 100 FEET; NOT
 INJURED AT ALL

New Britain, Conn.,, Oct. 17-Forced to make a, landing on account of fog two United States battleplanes were badly demolished in Cromwell, just over the Berlin town line today. The flyers escaped uninjured. A third machine made a safe landing in Ber- lin. One machine was not heard from and the members of the flying fleet were at a loss to know where this ship was.
 The escape from death experienced by the flyers who made bad landings was thrilling. Lieutenant James A. Tong and Sergeant John Y. Morse, in one plane landed in the woods, com ing down on the nose sof their ma- chine. Lieutenant Elliott and Serge
 and Brown in a second machine hit 3 tree and were thrown out. Lieut.. Kenneth Reed and Sergeant Charles Craig in the third made an almost perfect landing at Jarvis Farm, near the Berlin turnpike. The machines came from Bendley Field, Commaok, l. +
