Washington, D. C.-With the subsId1
enc of the epidemic Of influenza the,
attention Of health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases Of the respiratory SYSTEM
which regularly cause a large numbe1
Of deaths, especially during the winter,
season. According to Rupert Blue;
Surgeon General Of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this wins
ter unleSs the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
THE present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by bit5
ter experience how readily a conditlon
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and DEATH
Although the worst Of the epidemic ID
over, there will continue to be a large
number Of scattered cases, many of
them mild and u~nrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likeneG
the present situation to that after q:
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have disS
appeared. On the contrary, he CON-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is danS
ger Of the fire rekindling from smolS
derlng embers." {
"Then you fear another outbreak Of
'%inf1uenza" he was asked. mot neces-,
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, 'but unless the
people learn to realize the s%eriousnessl
of the danger they will be compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumox
mia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
at is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that orr
ldlnary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person,
to person by means Of droplets Of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
Ignorant people cough or sneeze With
out covering their mouth and nose. It
Is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value Of
fresh air. In summer. when people
are largely out Of doors, the respira.
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
MIA, etc. are i%nfrequent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases increase; in the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.

And whereas in his representation

his cases, and with all his energy,
his winning personality, and his abil-
ity he vigorously fought his cases
before the courts, leaving no stone

COPEAU'SFRENCH
PLAYERS SUPERB
IN TWO PLAYS

Neritably a renaissance OF French
art was given to Washington yester
day. with a new note inserted in It
that may. all be contained in the one
Jacques Copeau The story had been
told OF how this new art of the thea
ter was a marvelously direct dram
attic appeal. but the half had not been
told OF the exquisite art. the superb
acting. the rare stage settings. The
color schemes that present beautiful
pastels to the eye, that all go to
make up the two plays given by
Jacques Copeau's French Players of
the Theater du VieuX Colombier at
Polls Theater.
A most distinguished audience at
tended these two masterpieces of
French art. They were, too. at oppo-
site poles OF dramatic expression,
with Moliere's wit and eloquence in
the comedy ''L'Avsre," given in the
afternoon. and at night an amazing
study in crime psychology that JAG
aues Copeau and Jean Coue have
made from Dostoievskis novel Les
FrereS Karamazov.
VI. Copeau's Speech.
". Copeau gave a most interesting
talk after the matinee, through the
courtesy OF the Washington Chapter
Of the Drama League. Giving as the
motto of his players, that they give.
each one. of his best, NJ Copeau spoke
Of the honor they felt in being known
and loved here. 1--WE would have been
'astonished Ave years ago." he said
in French. "if we had been told that
here in America in the midst of
great war we would be playing to so
many friends" counting us among the
friends made in SO many countries,
in England. Switzerland. Italy. and
crowned by the friendship OF the
Government OF France.
The new art into which NJ. Copeau
puts his dramas is in the settings
and the color. The entire Moliere
comedy Is played against curtains
hung in heavy folds and tinted in
gray blues. gold-bLues. old gold, the
tones all smudged like pastel. The
Dostoievski tragedy had more definite

thing" with these artists from the
Theater du Vieux Colombier. "The
Brothers Karamazov" held an audi

hour after midnight. As q man

theme OF this play, for Dostoievski
