Washington, D. C.-With the subsid-
ence 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 number
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 win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
THE present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by Bit
ter experience how readily condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may 90 on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst Of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be large
number Of scattered cases, many Of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
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 dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there Is dan
ger Of the fire rekindling from smol-
dering embers."
"Then you fear another outbreak Of
Influenza ?" he was asked. mot neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
Of the danger they will be compelled to
pay heavy death toll from pneumo-
mia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
1T Is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or.
dinary 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

SPORTSMEN WAIT
 FOR OPENING 0F
 HUNTING SEASON
Mild Winter and Absence of Many Hunters Makes
 Game Plentiful.

Hartford, Sept. 9- Sportsm en throughout the state have been anxi- Ously awaiting the arrival of the open season on duck and other waterfowl which opens this year on Wednesday, October l. Shooting of these birds is allowed for fourteen weeks or until January 16, 1920. Last year the date was the same but the General Assembly at its last session adopted the federal law in lieu of the existing statutes.
 For the benefit of those who con template a trip to river, lake or shore in quest of aquatic birds the bill in full as adopted by the Legislature is as follows:
 Chapter "A: An Act concerning the close season for wild ducks, geese and manifestation 3158 of the general statutes is amended to read as fol- lows: The close season for wild ducks, geese and brant shall be from January sixteen to September thir- tieth, inclusive. Wild ducks, geese and brant shall not be taken except with a gun fired at arms length without rest They shall not be fired at from a boat propelled other wise than by hand, or from any floating device used to conceal the hunter, if more than fifty feet from the shore or natural growth of grass or flags. They shall not be taken except from One-ha1f hour before sun rise to sunset. Any of said fowl taken in violation of the provisions of this act shall not be sold or pos sessed. No person shall kill or take more than twenty-five wild ducks or geese in any day, provided nothing in this act shall affect the right to kill or have fin possession to be sold or offered for sale, wild ducks, geese and brant, bred or propagated by domestic breeders. Any person who shall vio- late any provision of this act, shall be fined not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars, and the taking of each bird in violation of any provis- ion hereof shall constitute a separate offense.
 It will be seen with the arrival of the hunting season, whether ex-ser- vice men have had enough of shoot ing in the army or whether the lure that every true nimrod feels in the fall as soon as the leaves begin to turn will prove strong enough to tempt him to take out the necessary

BENNY LEONARD TO TAKE ON DUNDEE IN
 NEWARK SEPT. 17

New York, Sept. 1O-Benny Leon ard. lightweight champion, and John ny Dundee, the local Italian contend CT for the title, have been matched for a return bout, which will be staged at the Newark SpOrtsmen's club, Sept. r.. This will be the sev- enth meeting between these two box CTS in a period of five years.
 Under the terms or the bout Leon ard is compelled to weigh in at the lightweight limit at the ringside, or else must weigh not more than one pound in excess of Dundee's pound age on the night of the bout.

The title holder has refused to make weight for a rival in a limited round no-decision bout since he took the championship from Freddie Welsh.

PACNEY 8f'FARLAND
 SAYS HARDEST BOUT
 WAS WITH BRONSON

Today is the anniversary of Pat rick NcFarland's fight with Ray Bronson which Packey describes as his toughest in the following words:
 Ray BronEon of Indianapolis gave me the toughest fight I ever had. I have fought men I consider his su- peror but none of them handed me a punch like he did.
 Bronson and I boxed in New Or leans, Sept. 10. 1909, and a pivot blow to my jaw in the first round paved the way for the toughest ring enEa cement I ever took part in.
 Every ounce of Bronson's kick went into that smash and every star in the milky way performed hip-hops before my eyes as I slid to the mat for the first time in my career.
 What happened in the next l2 rounds I don't know, for my brain was full of cO5webs and fog At the end the verdict was well received, but I was the most surprised person in the house at the fact that Bronson failed to win with a knockout.
 Never have I stopped so hard a punch Ray must have realized the power behind that blow, but he failed to follow his advantage for some req son and was content to stall, hoping my head would clear. Not until the 18th round did I regain my faculties.
 "I realized as the rounds passed that I was boxing about 40 per cent. below my real ability but I contin- ued to step around none the worse for the blow-so I read in the papers the next day-and BronsOn's failure to step in and knock me out was, I be- lieve, due to his belief that I was stalling.
 When we started I was confident of outpointing Bronson, although an ttcipating a hard battle. Early in the first round we clinched, and Bronson showed me away, then whirled and sloughed me with the pivot, spilling me for the four count.
 For the next eight rounds the honOrs were Bronson's. He carried the fight to me, but seemed afraid to mix at close range. The pace was fast, but instead of growing weaker I gained strength as the rounds pass ed, whereas Bronson displayed symptoms of weakening.
 After the 16th, the going was a lot easier for me, and in the 17th, realizing that Bronson had shot his bolt, started to overcome the lead ! he had piled up.
 'I must have punched him about 35 times a minute for the rest of the way, mixing jabs, uppercuts. swings, and hooks until it seemed a shame to continue. The goth found Bronson hanging on for dear life. I pushed ! him away several times, always fol- ! lowing with a punch, but not having enough behind 1t to knock him out. T was tired, too, and glad when the goth round ended, and well satis- fled when Referee Wallace Wood lift ed out hands in token of a draw. And from the way the crowd whoOped, guess the spectators were satisfied also"
 Mcfarland who retired from box ing four years ago, has been vacation ing recently with Mrs. Packey in Canada and California.
