Of influenza, which come from the
discharge of the nose and mouth,
were spread by the method of washing
the mess kits. and the application Of
this lesson to camps saved many lives,
according to DR.. William Colby Rack
er, United States Public Health Serv-
ice, who spoke before members Of
the National Geographic Society yes
terday afternoon and last evening at
the New Masonic Temple.
This knowledge was applied with
marked effect. DR.. Rucker said. in
camp where the rate was very
high. Cans were placed over a hot
fire where water was kept boiling
constantly. Within three days the
number of new cases fell sharply and
at the end of a week the rate was al
most neglibiblA
Some curious facts were found
among the men examined, prelimi-
nary TO entering the overseas SER
vice. DR.. Rucker said.
"Of 165. 900 on whom accurate rec
ords were kept" he stated. Eight
had more toes than normal and thir-
ty had Webbed toes. In fitting shoes
for men two were found requiring
size rs triple e. One went barefoot
until shoes could be made, but the
other resourcefully secured a pair of
'fourteens,' cut off the toes and let
nature take her course.
Mental tests also were interesting.
One officers record, the speaker said,
showed a gap OF two years not ac-
counted for and when asked what
he had been doing he replied, non
chalantIy, Looking for the North
Pole" He was subjected to a mental
examination-but it was found he had
been telling the truth.

employer OF labor. in a letter today
to the National War Garden Com
mission. The Washington Ad Club Is
member Of the Associated Ad Clubs.

Mr.. Lansburgh's letter follows:
II note in the newspapers they are
contemplating trying to repeal the
Daylight Saving Act. In my estima-
tion. as a merchant, the Daylight
Saving Act is one OF the best reforms
that was ever instigated. AS one
much in favor that the Daylight Saw

Two repeal bills have just been
introduced in Congress and it has
just been discovered that similar
bill has been placed asa rider in an
appropriation measure in an en-
deavor to kill the bill that provides
an extra hour of daylight for desk
and factory workers throughout the
country. The present law provides
that the clocks shall be turned ahead
one hour on the last Sunday in March
All of the leading countries OF Eu-
rope have adopted Daylight Savings.
The National War Garden Commits
sion points out that the law means
millions of hours of extra time for

and that with the world facing food
crisis the law should not be repealed

WHY PAPER PRICES
HAVE NOT DROPPED

II am asked fifty times a day when
the price Of paper will be reduced said
q weIl-known paper merchant today
Purchasers OF paper of every descrip-
tion seem to expect an immediate de-
crease IN price as soon as the armistce
was signed The druggist, The grocer
and all classes Of merchants whose own
merchandise has not decreased in price,
had seemed to expect that paper, which
Ss an expense and not a profit maker,
would be Immediately reduced in price
and they were very much disappointed
That such has not been the case.
mot a few Of the paper dealers them
Eelve5 thought that the manufacturers
would Immediately reduce their prices on
various grades Of paper. and at the re-
cent meeting in New York city Of the
sntire paper industry, a conference
committee met (thirty of the largest
paper merchants and thirty represen-
t2tive manufacturers, to look into the
situation from every point OF view. There
was absolute franlIness on both sides
Both the manufacturers and the mer-
chants placed their cards face up on
the table The result was that the
manufacturers convinced the merchants
that there was no imitation or water
m the present prices Of paper.
EntItIed to Fair PROFIT.
'It was granted that the manufac-
turers would have a fair profit in the
cost Of production, and that the price
of the manufacturer should be based
upon his cost of production and not upon
the fact that some other manufacturer
was willing to sell his product without
profit, in order to keep his mills running
,fuu.
THE chief item entering into the
cost of paper is labor, and we know
there has been no decrease in the
Price of labor. Labor begins in pa
per making with the collection OF
rags on one hand and the cutting OF
the wood in the forest on the other.
Wood is higher per cord than it has
been at any time within the last
five years. The present prices of pa
per are not high compared with the
prices Of other commodities. The de-
mand has not been up to normal for
the past ninety days, due largely to
the fact that the users and dealers
anticipated their demands early in
the fall before the armistice was
signed, and these stocks must accord
inglY be used or reduced before
normal buying is resumed.
@SThe cost finding systems of man
Ufacturers, merchants, and printers
have improved greatly during the
past few years. The old theory that
the manufacturer should sell his
product at less than cost to keep
his machines going. that the printer
should sell his printing at less than
cost. to keep his presses going, has
long since been exploded. Moro ef-
ficient business methods have proved
TO both the manufacturer and the
printer that il is better to shut
down than to run their. machinery
and sell the product at cost or with
cut profit -

SAY GUARDS VISITED
PRISONERS WIVES.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 23.-Dc-
ciaring that guards of the Maryland
House of Correction made Il practice
of visiting the wives of prisoners,
Frank Metzerott, minority member
of the board of prison control, which
is investigating the charges against
Warden William L. Landlord, Gre
ated a sensation yesterday at the
hearing which had been transferred
from Baltimore to the "Cut," the bet
ter to get testimony OF prisoners
and officials who could not well be
brought TO the city.
The statement came while LEROY
Griggs. a prisoner was on the stand
and was a result of an objection on
the part of Harry s. Wolf. counsel
for Landlord, who demanded that
the board cOnfine its inquiry to
Lankford alone. Mr.. Metzerott re-
piled that he had understood the in
quiry was to include the entire insti-
tuition and its officers, but Chairman
Crane said he did not know that the
statement concerned the charges
against Landlord
stopped Her Visits.
Griggs, while on the stand. testi-
fled that his wife had stopped COM
ing TO see him after a guard had
called on her. He said he was TWEEN
ty-onc years old and his wife twenty.
The name of the guard was given as
William Fl. Lankford, although it
was said he is not related TO the
warden. Mr.. Metzerott declared that
this was not an isolated case, but
that many of the guards made it a
practice to call on the wives of pris-
oners.
The session OF the board began in
the morning, when several witnesses
were examined. After luncheon the
inquiry was continued until late in
the afternoon, when the hearing was
