HALF LOSS OF
u. S. IN ENGLAND
WAS FROM FLU
(BY Associated Pressl

London, April IL (By maill-More
than half the deaths among the Amer
lean soldiers In Great Britain were
due to influenza. The total number
of cases of the disease in the three
months of the epidemic among the
Americans here reached 1912. In that
period deaths from pneumonia, devei-
oping in most cases from influenza,
numbered 1717. OF 6000 troops
brought on one trim by the steamer
Olympic, 20C0 contracted the disease
and, as about one-third of these cases
developed pneumonia, the proportion
Of fatalities was very large.
These figures are contained in an
elaborate report being prepared by
the American Red Cross covering the
work Of the organization in Great
Britain up to the beginning of this
year.
When the Olympic docked at South
ampton there were about 400 infiu-
enza eases on board But before the
troops could be debarked the num-
her of cases had increased fiVefold.
/ The weather was at it's Worst-cold,
wet and misty.
"When the Olympic drew into port
says the report, "and the news of
the outbreak of influenza was re-
ceived, the medical authorities hesi
tated to disembark all these troops,
who were fresh from training camps
in the mild climate of the Southern
States, for the only place to take
them was the Southampton Rest
Camp, which was situated on low, wet
ground, and was without adequate
facilities for taking care of sick men
or men who had been exposed to the
epidemic. Most of the housing in the
tcalnp was 10 tents without cots, ard
the men had to sleep on floors which
consisted merely of ore lave, Of shin
boards a few inches off the ground
For q few davs the doctors tried TO
fight the epidemic On shipRoard, but
it became so fiercely virulept that 1t
finally became necessary 70 dlsem-
bark the men and take th9m to the
rest camp.
"The medical authorities in the hos
pitfalls around Southampton3' the re-
port says, 'were we'll equipped 70
deal with anv ordinary outbreak OF
disease, but this emergency TAXED to
the breaking point all their accomm0-
dations and preparations. Supplies,
not only of drugs and equipment, but
also of doctors and nurses, were rap
idly exhausted"
Here, The report points out was a
signal opportunity for the Red Cross,
and it lent valuable aid in lsecurin@
instant delivery Of needed supplies
and clothing and in providing accom-
modations for many Of the PATIENTS.
I From rs cases Of influenza among
American soldiers in Gre3t Britain
during the week ending Sentemher 3,
the number jumped to 233p on Sep
tember so. That was the high wa
ter mark.

SPRING COLORS
ALI. TIL: RAGE
FOR MOTOR CARS

Along with spring poems, the rob-
in and spring gardens, come the new
spring colors in automobiles. Each
year when the fruit trees blossom
forth with their good old reliable col
orings, man, more tickle than Ma
ture, seeks something new. Not only
does he seek, but he finds it.
This year it is the Belgian blue,
Victory ned and taupe that have
come to add to the @aiety Of the mo-
toring year, These colorlngs are pre-
dominating in the latest paint selec-
tions, according to George W. Wood
Of the Wood paint shops, who is one
of the first to whom Dame Fashion
whispers her whims.
The new taupe is particularly
catching" said Wood. "Of all the
spring shades, it has the cali. In
trying to describe it, / would say
that it is half gray and half brown.
The effect is very soft col0ring,
which not only looks good on the car,
but will wear well.
The graYs are coming back into
their own. We have had an unusual
call for the various shades OF grays.
The lighter shades seem to be in de-
mand. In fact, the whole color
scheme is lighting up, There is more
of a call for the happier nues. My
opinion is that the grayer colors re-
fleet the reaction from the war de-
preston.

Outside of office hours, Miss Dell
is interested in the promotion of
the Federal Employees Union, No. 2,
which is the new branch of the
American Federation of Labor
formed at Washington by people on
the government payroll. She is one
of the vice-presidents of the union
and an ardent advocate of it's prin-
ciples. She is also head of the
social work in the Office of the d.

recall one man who applied for a
position as foreman Of the section
gang with which he was employed.
BE was refused because he could
not read or write. He heard of a
moonlight school being open in the
county. Within three weeks that
man made his application in writing
to the railroad company and was
given the position. The explana-
tion of this rapid acquiring of the
ability to read and write to some
degree is that adults have so much
more desire to learn than have chill
dren. These illiterates have known
what it is to be without that knowl-
edge, and they are so eager to get
away from just making their
marks"

being no lights on rural roads, the
classes were first held at the tine
when the moon would light the way
to school. They last for six weeks
and the name moonlight" is of
more advertising and campaign
value than anything else, as the
adults, once they are tempted to en-
ter the schoolroom, usually remain
for the full term. Mrs. Stewart
started them in Kentucky through
her great interest in the mountain
eer illiterate.
The Southern states are using
these schools more and more to
make up for the education their
grown-ups missed when they were
children. They differ from the city
night schools also in their campaign
for students. The schools operate

ever they are in force.

buildings, and two of these are
joined together with a lobby. This
is like the lobbies of girls college
dormitories, alive with groups Of
girls after working hours, and bright
with attractive hangings and fur
nishings Of rose, blue or buff Gre
tonne. Girls may entertain their
friends here and their families when
they come to town to visit them. In
rooms adjoining the lobbies pro-
visions have been made for card
parties, and many times the girls
make their own fudge or popcorn
balls in the kitchenette downstairs.
On a summer evening, when they
blossom forth in their fine linen or
organdy frocks and dancing pumps,
the place seems a campus indeed.
"Company," too, is likely to be
prevalent on the front steps, just
as it was back home on the stoop
of the city residence. The visiting
friends, however, can remain only
until II o'clock, and the watchman
makes his round fifteen minutes
before that hour to remind the girls
that closing time approaches. If a
girl is out later than II o'clock she
registers her name with either the
head supervisor, the assistant super
visor or the two desk orderlies as
signed to each building. The watch
men check her name off the list as
she reports back, and never since
the first of the buildings was
opened last December has there
been an ejectment of a girl for con-
tinued disobedience of this rule. 1t
is about the only one set up for
regulation of the hotel guests.
This is one hotel where the girls
may feel safe in going to sleep
without looking under the bed for
burglar. Large white globes of
light are attached to the outside of
the buildings, that the watchman,
who makes his rounds continuously
throughout the night, may see that
all is we'll.
Hot baths, night or day, are an
other attraction which make the
hotel more like home. The hospital,
opened only a short time ago, has
Won it's way into the hearts of the
girls, who have been tended there
by Johns Hopkins nurses.
Miss Ollie Davis, who was at
Wellesley College for twelve years,
came to aid the housing corporation
in making the project reality, and
she has been assistant manager of
the hotels since they were opened.
A few days ago Miss Harlean James,
