MUSIC COURSES
 FOR AMERICANS

The school will be conducted for the benefit of students of both sexes who have been studying at American conservatories in winter and who de- sire to perfect their studies in France during summer months.A The profes, s0rs will be those of the staff of the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, and students will be able, through competition, to get high French awards equivalent to those given at the Paris conservatory.
 The courses will last three months July, August and September-and will include musical composition, har- mony, orchestra leading, counterpoint and fugue, organ, piano, violin, violin cello, voice and harp. Students in those courses may also enter competi- tion for the Paris grand prize for musical composition
 Competition Every Year.
 The competition for this grand prize will be held every year and only those pupils who have followed the course in a musical composition and have passed rigid tests will be eligible. The trials will last six days
 The rules of the Paris conserva- tory, which are most severe, will be vigorously enforced. The definite ad- mission to the competition will be given October ?, and the selection of competitors will begin on October 5. During that time the contestants will not be allowed to see or communicate with any one They will be rigorous ly isolated and their correspondence will be opened.
 The work demanded will be one of the following An. allegro for sym phony, symphonic poem, a cantata for three voices and orchestra, so- nata for violin and piano or for violin cello and piano. The hearing of the compositions will be held in the con cert hall of the Paris conservatory in December. At~the end of the hear ing, which will be open to the pub- lie the awards will be made.
 Tuition for the summer school will be $64 a month. The school will be able to furnish room and board for 200 students at from S70 to $75 a month. An additional 100 students can be accommodated on condition that they find their own living ar engagements. A course in musical his tory will be obligatory, but all other courses may be followed according to choice.

FLU" EPIDEMIC
 WILL BE NH DER

first and slightest in point of mortal lty occurring in June and July, the second and most severe in November. the third in February and March, Data, which need not be cited here in detail, indicate that the course of the epidemic in western Europe generally was similar. In the United States the epidemic developed more largely in single wave during September, Oc- tober and November.
 The prevalence of a serious epidem- ic of influenza was first recognized in and around Boston in September of 1918. Within about two weeks 1t was general in the Atlantic seaboard, de- veloping little later among cities fur ther west. Rural districts were usu- ally attacked somewhat later than large interests In the same sections.
 In the cities east of the line of the Appalaehians the excess mortality from pneumonia and influenza during the weeks ended September IA, 1918 to March 1, 1919, was approximately o.6 per LOGO; in cities between the Rocky mountains and the Appalachi- ans 4.35; and in those of the Pacific Coast 5.55 per 1000.
 Concerning the important question of immunity conferred by an attack of influenza, the evidence is not con- elusive, but there is reason to believe that an attack during the earlier nf fHo a{n siderable, but not absolute immunity in the later outbreaks.
 Transmitted by Contact.
 In general the pandemic of influenza was largely similar to that of 18S9-90 in its development, first a mild form. later on a severe worldwide epidemic, in the rapidity of it's spread and it's high case incidence. It has however been notably different In much high CT mortality especially among young adults. Such evidence as has been gathered confirms the conclusion pre- viously reached that it is transmitted directly and indirectly by contact. It appears, probable, however, that the infection was already widely dissem- mated in this country sometime be- fore a serious epidemic was recog nized.
 Despite the fact that there Is still some uncertainty as to the nature of the miero-organism causing pandem- ic influenza, one thing is certain, that the disease is communicable from per son to person. Moreover judging from experience in other diseases, it is probable that the germ, whatever it's nature, is carried about not only by those who are i'll with influenza, but by persons who may be entirely well. Everything which increases per sonal contact, therefore, should be re- garded as a factor in spreading influ- enza.
 Much was heard last winter of the use of face masks. Though the use of suitably constructed masks will reduce the interchange of respiratory germs

France Establishes Summer Con- seryatory in Palace of
 FontainebIeau.
SUGGESTED BY BANDMASTER
School Will Be Conducted for Benefit of Students of Both Sexes Who Have Been Studying at Amer
 ican Conservatories.

Paris.-An American conservatory of music soon will be established at Fontainebleau as the result of the ac- tion of the Fontainebleau municipal council, which voted a subvention of 100000 francs for the creation of the school. The suggestion was put for ward by Mir. Francis Casadesus, pres ident and conductor of the Paris or chestra, and the French minister of public instruction has set aside for the school the Louis KY wing of the national palace of Fontainebleau. It will be summer school and the first session will begin July 1, 1920.
 MT. Casadesus spent seven months at Chaumont, the American headquar- ters of the A. D. F., teaching instru- mentation at the American army bandmasters' and musicians school created by Dr. Walter Damrosch at the request of General Pershing.
 Suggested by casadesus.
 MT. Casadesus first conceived the idea of the school after the American school at Chaumont completed it's work. He planned to place the courses of the National Conservatory of Music in Paris at the disposal of the Americans. His friends discouraged the idea, on the theory that Paris, with all it's attractions. was not the proper place to study music, as the temptations to waste time were too many for students.
 Following recent meeting between Mr. Casadesus and MT. Fragnaud, suD- prefect of Fontafnebleau and great lover of music. the historic place was selected.
 The municipal council unanimously voted the 100000 francs, which will be added to by French donations to be expended for proper lodging and board facilities.

Probably, but by no means cer-
 tainly, there will be a recurrence 5 of the influenza epidemic this year.
 Indications are, that should ] it occur, it will not be as severe
 as the pandemic of the previous
 { winter.
 City officials, state and city boards of health, should be pre-
 { pared in the event of a recur- renee.
 The fact that a previous at
 tack brings immunity in cer- tain percentage of cases should
 allay fear on the part of those
 afflicted in the previous epidem- ] ie.
 influenza is spread by direct
 and indirect contact. Ii is not certain that the germ has been isolated. or discovered, and as a consequence there is
 yet no positive preventive, ex-
 cept the enforcement of rigid rules of sanitation and the avoid
 anee of personal contact. A close relation between the influenza pandemic and the con- stantly increasing pneumonia
 mortality rate prior to the fall of 1918 is recognized. It is now believed that the dis ease was pretty widely dissem-
 mated throughout the country before it was recognized in it's
 epidemic state. This failure to recognize the early cases appears to have been largely due to the fact that every interest was then centered on the war.

Care of the Hair.

Women who have not the time or money to take scalp treatments can do about as much for themselves as a specialist can do for them in the treatment of ordinary hair troubles. Ten minutes attention given to the hair and scalp each day is more bene- ficial than infrequent professional treatments. The remedies for the usual scalp and hair difficulties are simple and inexpensive. It is regu- lar and persistent care that can be depended on to repay the effort.
 Cleanliness requires shampoo at intervals of two to four weeks. If the scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient ly abundant this, with brisk, brief brushing every day will keep the hair in good condition.
 To Cure Dandruff.
 Take thimbleful of powdered re- fined borax, let it dissolve in teacup- ful of water; first brush the head well, and then wet a brush with the solution and rub the scalp we'll with it. Do this every day for a week, then twice week, until no trace of dandruff is found
 To Improve Hair.
 The best shampoo for oily hair and dry scalp is an egg shampoo, made by adding one ounce of cold water to one well-beaten egg; rub mixture well into the scalp and on the hair, rinse in warm water, then in cold water, dry thoroughly, apply tonic and massage the scalp for ten minutes. Each night use tonic and massage for ten min uteS.
 Stiff Hair.
 The first remedy for woman whose hair has begun to be stiff is to experl- ment with slightly oily liquids until she finds one suitable A lotion made from one tablespoonful of glycerin,

Dresses designed for the younger misses wear-for school and else where-this fall are the most satisfac- tory that have been presented for many seasons. They reflect the at tributes of young girlhood-or at any rate the attributes we like to find in young girls. These frocks are sturdy. simple, quite plain, very neat and prac- tice much restraint in the matter of trimmings They clothe the immature figure to the best advantage and are calculated to educate their young wearers in the fitness of things, the suiting of clothes to occasions and to youth The designers of dress for misses and junior misses are not al- ways conscious of their responsibili- ties in this matter, but the best pri- vate schools and academies realize it's importance. They are careful to prescribe what may be worn by the girls under their charge. Girls in the public schools have not the advantage of this system, but the designers of ready-made dresses for them have made good choice easy this fall.

silk braid in the same color are ptd on with satisfying precision. The body and plain sleeves reveal the slender and childish figure and sup port straight skirt that is gathered on at the waist line. A frill of plaft- ed silk about the round neck is in the same blue as the dress. But nar- rover frill of white batiste adds crisp freshness as often as it is need ed This is one of the seyerest of school frocks, but we do not grow tired of these plain dresses.
 There are a number of successful models for the younger misses in which navy blue woolen fabrics serge, gabardine, tricotine and the like
 show pipings facings and vestees sometimes, of dark red. This is al- ways good color combination when the red is used with much restraint. Very small buttons, narrow ribbon bows and ties and sheer collar and cuff sets in white cotton goods figure in the smart details of the school girls dress. Also there are several new fabrics in brown, blue and oxford and in tasteful mixtures of color that insure variety in the quiet company of school dresses with which the younger misses face their school year.

through inhalation, 1t muSt De resup.n- bered that there are many other paths by which such germs are transmitted from person to person. Soiled hands common drinking cups, improperly cleaned eating and drinking utensils In restaurants, soda fountains. etc. roller towels, infected food-these are only a few of the common vehi les of germ transmission. The use of face masks appears to make people neglect these other paths of infection, and so the use of face masks has not been | attended with the success predicted for them. If we would be more sue cessful in combating influenza great CT attention must be paid to the fac tors just enumerated.
 The question of most practical and immediate interest is the probability of recurrence in the near future. Re currences are characteristic of influ- enza epidemics and the history of the last pandemic and previous ones would seem to point to the conclusion that this one has not yet run it's full course. On the other hand this epi- demic has already shown three more or less distinct phases and has been more severe, at least in mortality, than the three-year epidemic of 1889-92, facts which justify the hope, though not the conclusion, that it has run it's course already.
 Recurrence Is Likely.
 It seems probable, however, that we may expect at least local occurrences In the near future, with an increase over the normal mortality from pneu- monia for perhaps several years; and certainly we should be, as far as pos sible, prepared to meet them by pre- vious organization of forces and meas ures for attempted prevention, treat ment, and scientific investigation.
 There should be no repetition of the extensive suffering and distress which accompanied last years pandemic. Communities should make plans now for dealing with any recurrence of the epidemic. The prompt recognition of the early cases and their effective iso- lation should be aimed at. In this con- nection, attention is called to the fact that the cases may appear to be just ordinary colds. A recent extensive outbreak of what were regarded as "summer colds" in Peoria, Illinois, proved on investigation to be an ep- idemic of mild type of influenza. Experience indicates that these mild epidemics are often the starting points of more severe visitations. Hence ev- cry effort should be made to discover as early as possible any unusual prev alence of colds"
 For municipalities operating on a budget basis, it is important that all delay in providing the necessary finan- cial support to the health authorities in dealing with recurrence of the epidemic be avoided by setting aside an emergency epidemic fund. This may prove of the greatest value in car rying out important preventive meas ures in the early days of the epidem- ic, at time when their beneficial eff feet is greatest.
 The most promising way to deal with possible recurrence of the influenza epidemic is, to sum it up in single word, Preparedness" And now it is the time to prepare.

Above are the important facts de- veloped by the United States health service after careful survey and in- veStigati0n of the influenza pandemic of 191S-1919 carried on in every state and important city, and even in for eign countries.
 No one of the many experts of the service would make a more positive forecast of the all-important question: VIII there be recurrence? All agreed however, that recurrence was not unlikely and in the face of the known facts, that it would be wise to be pre- pared, more with view of being on the safe side than actually anticipat- ing danger.
 The following excerpts from the government report are published for the benefit of the public and health officers in the hope that this will serve to set at rest the daily publication in the newspapers of statements, which oD one hand are calculated to Hull the public into a sense of false security and on the other to unduly cause alarm.
 Contrary to the opinion expressed frequently during the early weeks of last years pandemic by a number of observers, the studies of the United States public health service indicate that the epidemic was not fresh im- portation from abroad. Careful study of the mortality statistics of the Uni ted States shows that there were a number of extensive though mild fore runners of the pandemic during the previous three or four years. The ep- 'demic was generally of a mild type and has since been almost forgotten. II accustomed, however. noticeable increase in the recorded death rate rom pneumonia.
 Rise in Mortality. in the spring of 1918 there was an- Otner sharp rise in the mortality rate rom pneumonia. In the larger cities Ot the Atlantic seaboard these increas- es occurred during January, February ana March. In the rest of the coun- 'ry' especially the central and west eFh states the increases occurred in april, a month during which pneumon- ~ mortality is generally on the decline. rms increase was sufficient to indi- cate q strong departure from the nor 'nai. The increased mortality rate ex- 'ended into May and in some areas longer.
 ms occurrence has, 1t Is believed, oennite significance in relation to sne Influenza epidemic. In the United s'ates in the spring of 1918, num- nef Of definite local outbreaks of in- "uenza were observed:
