 Louis Waldman was the only social ist assem blyman to speak and was loudly lcheered when he declared that politicians were not afraid of resolu- tions but of action by the people. He urged all to unite to fight the crew that is attempting to destroy the rights of citizens"

CYCLE THEORY ON
 FLU IS DISCUSSED Recurrence of Epidemic Come Every B or 66 Years or Weeks, Says
 English Doctor
By A,.seiat.s Pros.

Washington, January 31.--Recurrence of influenza epidemics in cycles of 3S or 66 years or weeks apart are discussed in a statement issued tonight by the bureau of the census, based on a study made by pr. John Brownlee. an Eng fish physician, who advanced the cycle the- ory.
 Tt is now exactly sixty-six weeks since the mortality peak of tue epidemic in Chicago" the statement said: The same is true for New York city and Washington. In all three of these places influenza is epidemic. The periodicity oddly suggests that we may be dealing with injecting organisms which not only have the power to reproduce them selves in a yirulent form continuously for a long period If susceptible persons are exposed, but even which also have the power of developing in cycles of thrty-three or sixty-six weeks. This recurrence of the epidemic after sixty six weeks certainly strengthens the view that the epidemic of 1889. 1890, 1918 and 1920 all have common eti- oiogy."

 saloons that remain open Will have to pull down signs advertising alcoholic drinks. the federal authorities have an- nounced. As license is not necessary for the sale of near-beer and soft drinks those former liquor dealers who still cherish hope concluded they might as wen be mindful and leave the doors open in case something turned up"
