WILL THE FLU RETURN?

A great deal has been said and
written about the return OF the in
f1uenza this winter. The Herald has
endeavored to give it's readers all the
facts it could get on the matter. But
as there has been some confusion in
some of the statements printed in the
papers from time to time during the
summer, we give below an official
statement from the public health SER
vice. This is authoritative and was
sent The Herald direct by the United
States public health service, and con-
tains, in brief, all that the govern
ment health service knows about the
disease. The full statement covers
several typewriter pages, but is pre-
faced by the summary given here,
which is more likely to be read be-
cause It is brief and to the point:
Probably, but by no means certain
ly, there will be recurrence of the
influenza this year.
Indications are, that should it oc-
cur, it will not be as severe as the
pandemic of the previous winter.
City officials. State and city boards
of health should be prepared in the
event of a recurrence.
The fact that a previous attack
brings immunity in certain percen-
tage of cases should allay fear on the
part of those afflicted in the previous
epidemic.
Influenza is spread by direct and in
direct contact.
It is not yet certain that the germ
has been isolated, or discovered, and
as consequence there is yet no pos
itive preventive, except the enforce
ment of rigid rules of sanitation and
the avoidance of personal contact.
A close relation between the influ-
enza pandemic and the constantly in
creasing pneumonia mortality rate
prior to the fall of 1919 is recogniz-
ed.
It is now believed that the disease
was pretty widely disseminated
throughout the country before it was
recognized in it's epidemic state. This
failure to recognize the early cases
appears to have largely been due to
the fact that every interest was then
centered on the war.

California Secretary of
State Says Importation of
Chinese Coolies for Farm
Labor is Absolutely Nee
essary to Reduce HI. C. L.
Omitted Press Service)

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 28.-
Omitted Press. )-Strong sentiment
exists in the West in favor of letting
down the bars to Chinese coolie labor,
according TO Frank -. Jordan, Cali
fornia secretary of state, who is here
today.
Jordan is making tour of West
ern cities to sound out the feeling
regarding the proposal, which was re-
Gently instituted in California, that
the Chinese exclusion act be amended
so that Chinese coolies can be ad-
ritted and allow to WORK on The
farms of the West.
The California secretary of state
told the United Press that he has dis
covered "only negligible" opposition
to the plan.
The object of the movement is to
lower the cost of living, for unless
coolie labor is secured, Jordan de-
clares, there will be a shortage of
food production in the West, and re-
sultant higher prices.
The proposed Chinese coolie laborer
who would be used in domestic SER
vice, as well as work on the farm,
The daily morning oasis., 1919-11-29

would be under government control
according to Jordan's plan. His
scheme calls for the eleven Western
states to memorialize congress to al
low the entry of selected Chinese Ia
borers.
"There is a problem confronting
the farmers" said Jordan, "and that
is labor. In California, we have very
little white labor on the farms, the
work being performed by Hindoos,
Mexicans and Japanese. American
born boys do not want to work on the
farms. Those who left farms and
went into the army have had taste
of city life and are not returning to
the farms. This means reduced pro-
duction of food There are 75,000,000
acres in the West which could be cul-
tivated and made to produce food. Ma
tive-born labor is not available. My
plan is to bring over Chinese If the
Chinese can be put to work on the
farms, production will be increased,
even more than doubled. 1t is i'm
perative that some form of labor be
found for the farms, and the only
source of supply can find is China.
"The people who have farms and
who have had troublbe getting needed
help are quite willing to see Chinese
on the job. Business men take the
same viewpoint, and so far as organ
lied labor is concerned I cannot see
any reason why it has cause for OBJ
lection, as increased food production
would help that element. In any event,
the Chinese would not be coming into
competition with organized labor"

Who Wants to Adopt

There are lots of boys with "girl-

have lots more "pep" than their
brothers, but this does not condemn
them for our foremost educators tell
us it is the "tom-boy" type of girl
who show the most rapid advance
ment at school and who eventually
make the progressive, modern mother.
While "The Brat" is a shocking
mite of a creature you love her almost
