crowds is essential to complete i'm
munity from contracting the disease
in this manner. Nothing, however,
can prevent infection through casual
contact.
AS a basic precaution it is neces-
sary to avoid exposure to "cold" max
ing conditions. The general system
must be kept in order. Extreme phys
ical fatigue should be avoided, If pos
sible. Diet should be carefully regu-
lated, to prevent disorders of the dl-
gestive system which promote pulmo'
nary arrangements. And always, as
already suggested, it is necessary to
give heed to early symptoms that are
warnings Of illness that may be avert
ed by eficacious treatment.
There is no occasion for alarm at
present. The city is not in danger
of a recurrence of the epidemic If
everybody will observe the ordinary
rules of health and give quick heed
to indications that the system has abb
sorbed some noxious bacillus that may
speedily be defeated with intelligent
treatment.

Postmaster Chance.

Postmaster Chances denomination,
announced yesterday, in anticipation
of the expiration of his present term,
is well deserved. During his four
years at the head of the local post
Office he has demonstrated an excep-
tional capacity for executive work of
a difficult character. Those four years
we're filled with problems growing
out of the sudden expansion of the
government service in Washington
incident to the war. The mail busi-
ness at the capital grew enormously
and imposed task of huge proper
tions, which Mr.. Chance and his staff
of assistants fulfilled acceptably.
During this period the postal force
was depleted by war drafts, which
made effective postal administration
even more difficult than in ordinary
times. Notwithstanding this handicap
the local postal administration has
been efficient, and the people of
Washington are glad to find the post
masters exceptional capabilities rec
ognized by this reappointment for
another period of four years, consti-
tuting as it does a reward Of merit.

Ten States Needed to Ratify.

Ratification Of the suffrage amend
ment by Oregon and Indiana brings
the total of approvals up to twenty
six, leaving ten to be obtained. Spe-
cial sessions have been called in
Idaho and Wyoming for the purpose
of considering the amendment, and
Affirmative acSson is expected in both
of them this month. If this is accom-
plished only eight more votes will be
needed. The legislatures summoned
in special session would not ordinarily
meet until next year. Special ses-
sions are also. expected in Nevada,
New Mexico and Washington, which
are similarly in the "192l" class. With
affirmations from all Of these it will
be necessary to get five more votes
before next November in order to en-
franchise the women in season for the
presidential election. There are other
states of the 1921 class in which, how
ever, success for suffrage is not be-
lieved to be as we'll assured as in the
states mentioned. A special effort is
being made to secure ratification in
New Jersey, which meets now. A
sharp fight is expected there. The
campaign for federal enfranchisement
is narrowing down.

Influenza Reappears.

Influenza has reappeared in Wash
ington and numerous cases have been
reported by physicians to the health
Office. The number of cases has been
lately increasing, indicating a spread
of the disease. The health officer
states that they are not of virulent
type, and that the percentage of dan
ger is much less than during the epi-
|demic in the autumn of 1918.
Prompt attention to all pulmonary
ailments, whether of the ordinary
~cold" variety or of more serious
character, is the first essential step in
fighting this disease. The influenza
claimed many victims in 1918 because
symptoms were ignored. The disease
progressed swiftly in consequence.
Many victims were taken in this city
for lack of care.
Washington is now far better pre-
pared to fight the disease, if it be-
comes epidemic, than it was fifteen
months ago. There is less congestion.
Better housing conditions prevail

Four Points of Street Safety.

In its consideration of the local
traffic problem special committee of
the Board of Trade has adopted four
propositions as essentials in pro-
gram of street safety. These are, the
establishment of a traffic court, the
stoppage of "jay walking" the nam
ing of one-way streets in congested
sections and thorough examination
Of all applicants for motor licenses.
All four of these are necessary If
Washington is to be redeemed from
its present high percentage of street
casualties.
A traffic court is required to give
prompt and thorough consideration of
eases growing out of the violation OF
regulations. At present the enforce
ment of these rules is incomplete be-
cause offenders cannot be adequately
penalized. The majority of them
leave collateral at the station houses
with the intention of forfeiting, re-
garding the small sums deposited as
part of the cost of running their ears.
A traffic court would permit prompt
trial and the enforcement of court at
tendance. As soon as it is assured
that an arrest means conformation
and the possible imposition Of full
penalty there will be more carefulness
in the streets.
1t is doubtful, however, whether
~jay walking" can be cured by regu-
lation. If pedestrians are by rule con-
fined between curbs to the crossing
spaces, outside of which they are
wholly at their own risk, they should
be given some consideration at those
points and not compelled, as at pres
ent, to take their chances with traffic.
Much of the "jay walking" is due to
the fact that conditions at the cross
ings are normally quite as dangerous
as those in midblock. With the &C.
centric car stop system now in vogue
here, furthermore, midblock crossing
Pis almost compulsory in many places.
A beginning has been made here
with one-way streets, but not to a
sufficient extent to relieve congestion.
This can be done by the Commission
ers without legislation. It is well
worth trying, and if the experiment
is not successful it can be abandoned.
More one-way streets would not. only
promote traffic movement, but would
lessen the chances Of accident. .
A real test for all license applicants
is imperatively needed. The present
system is farcical. Practically any
body can get license to drive motor
car. Cars are being driven by people
who are totally unfit to handle power
full machines in crowded streets. Many
ears are being driven by unlicensed
persons, including children. Not until
the license system is radically changed
will there be any assurance whatever
that the laws will be observed, what
ever the penalties, written or inflicted.
