 Paris Jan. 30.-Tho church crusade against short skirts and lov-necl ;iowna continues. A notice posted Oil the door Of one Paris house of wor- ship reads:
 NO woman will be allowed to at tend service in the church whose dresses are cut low in the neck and whose skirts do not reach at least to their ankles"
 ScathinS sermons on the subject have oeen delivered iii Paris churches for some lime. One priest refused to conduct the marriage service for a bride whose dress, in his opinion, showed too great length of silk stocking and which was cut in such q way "as possibly to make it suit able for evening wear and certainly not fitted for church. The we'd ding was postponed. Probably this WAS the first occasion of the post ponement of a marriage ceremony for such a reason.
 ParlSian women say that this meas ure, If generally enforced. would compel every woman worshipper to have a special skirt to wear to church.

NO CLOSING RULES BECAUSE OF FLU

Such Investigations as have been made to date indicate that practically all of the victims of this outbreak are among those who escaped the last epidemic. This is in accord with the general belief that one attack estap- fishes immunity from further attacks A disconcerting feature of the situa- ton, however is the fact that there are over million people in Connecti- cut who did not have influenza last year, many of whom are liable to iI1- lection. It is true that many of these are natural iInmunes, but sufficient ly large number of non n-immunes re-
 main to make it advisable to take all
 the precautionary measures possible.
 Health officers should immediately get in touch with the physicians of
 their towns and arrange for prompt and regular reporting. Influenza is a reportable disease and reports should be in the usual form unless epidemic conditions prevail when merely to to- tai number Of cases seen each day may be accepted by the health officer All reports received as Ia grippe should be classified as influenza. Deaths from pneumonia following in- f1ienza or Ia grippe should be so re-
 corded on the death certificate. Phy- sicians should be urged to promptly report any family in need of nursing or other assistance.
 The use of vaccines for the proven ton or eatment of influenza is not recommended for the reason that it is 1 impossible to secure a true influenza 1cine until the eausative organism ! is known.
 l Placardipg and quarantining are not required unless the afflicted person | displays unreasonable carelessness ol l disregard for the welfare Of others i Disinfectien of the home after reeov.
 cry is unnecessary. Private funeral; should be required by the health off. 1 cer if the disease becomes undulJ l prevalent.
 Non essential public gathering such as dances, etc, should be forbid 1 den if the disease shows any tendenc! towards undue prevalence. School l should be allowed to remain open un. der medical supervision, as well a. .theaters, if we'll ventilated, in gooJ | sanitary condition and if an effort is made to deb8r those suffering with ; 1 cough or "eoid."
 An effort should be made to see tta the law forbidding the use of common drinking cups, towels, etc, is rigidl, enforced. Soda fountains and othe
 places serving food or drink shoul,
 be closed if not equipped with pape utensils or satisfactory means fo ] sterilization
 The state department of health is i, | position to render health officers sucl fadvtee or assistance as may be de isired. If it becomes necessary. an ef fort will be made to supply physi clans, nurses and hospital eauipnen
 as they were during the previous epi demic.
