STATE IS PAST
 tFLU'' EPIDEMIC

February influenza statistics are not as yet available consequently it is impossible to express definite conclu- sions, but we are convinced that the peak has been passed and that the disease is rapidly declining. From general observation, we do not believe that more than ten per cent of the reported cases were the same type of of disease which was prevalent in the Fall of 1918. The other ninety per cent simulated more closely the old fashioned Grippe. The deaths as re- ported during January did not involve the same age groups as did the epi- denic of 1918 most of the deaths this year occurring among the very young or those past middle life The deaths in January from influenza and pneu- monia exceeded the deaths from these two causes in 1918 by only 33 and were 590 less than those occurring in 1919.
 The effect of the severe weather of the past month upon the epidemic is hard to determine. It is known that doctors could not reach many sick people and it is also known that the general population was forcibly islo- lated. The latter advantage, no doubt far outweighed the former disadvan- tage. Many localities in this State lacked sufficient nurses, but only one reported the need of doctors. The general hospitals have all been over taxed, but the few emergency hos pftals established were hardly needed The situation this year can hardly be compared to that of a year and a hall ago.

ROME TO HAVE
 'sCONEY ISLAND

New York, Mar. 2'-Seme one has very much alike that there is no use in travelling amy more-that we all eat the same things in restaurants, complain of the same things in hotel Hobbies and pay the same exorbitant prices wherever we happn to be. Those who believe this to be true will find added proof in the report from Rome that a new amusement park is to be erected there on the lines of Luna Park at Coney Island.
 One might expect better things of Rome. It was there, we are taught, the thrill and the spectacle were in vented. It was Rome that first recog- nized the tired businss man. form of amusement. It was Rome's palate that first became jaded and Rome'sS appetite that first failed of satisfac- ton.
 Can it be that we have progressed further than the Romans-that what has rather begun to pail upon New York will still tickle the senses of the descendants of Nero and Ca1igula2 When we stop to analyze the mod ern American amusements they are much in the old Roman style, but Luna Park is rather tame in compar- ison to what can be found in other neighborhoods
 To be sure, we lack the feature of human sacrifice in which Nero de- l lighted, but historians have rather 1 disillusioned us on that score. It is 1 now pretty well known that blood was not as popular in the Roman arena as weo nee supposed 1t to be. and | GrrI- Ik,.- matches, six day bicycle races and other forms of sport which attract i thousands are probably as exciting as any contests ever staged in the ] Coliseum.

Four cups cranberries (about l quart), cups brown sugar. 2 table spoons lemon juice, cup water.
 Wash cranberries and put in pan over fire, adding the other ingredients. Let mixture boil, stirring occasionally. When cranberries have all burst and the liquid is deep red and has start ed to thicken, remove from fire and pour into jars. When the jam is cold it will have congealed.
 This makes an appetzing relish when served with dinner and the chil- dren and grown-ups like to use 1t as a spread for bread.

Mayor Orders Dollar Gas
Fought in Highest Court
Council Confident
He Can Show Profits We're
Made at the Old Rate

Mayor Hylan yesterday instructed
Corporation Counsel O'Brien to appeal
to "the highest court in the United
States" from the injunctions issued by
the Federal District Court permitting
the gas companies in all the boroughs
except Richmond to raise their rates to
81 thousand cubic feet. The Mayor
said the appeal should be taken "to the
end that the peoples rights will be
properly protected"
at is common knowledge that the
gas companies have not furnished the
quality Of gas required of them under
the law" said the Mayor. "Notwith
standing that fact, the gas companies
now wish to exact from the people a
higher rate for gas than the state law
allows"
Corporation Counsel O'Brien ex
pressed confidence that he would be
able to convince Judge Hand on July 6
that Special Master A. S. Gilbert's re-
port showed that the Consolidated Gas
Company was making money at the So
cent rate, instead of losing it, as the
company asserts, if its coal, oil and
other contracts are examined. If Judge
Hand upholds the city, the recent in
functions allowing the 81 rate will be
vacated, Mr.. O'Brien predicted, as they
are based on the Gilbert report.

Jail or Support Two
Wives His Alternative
Judge Thinks Painter Ought to
Find 1t Easy to Es-
cane Cell

Daniel Domb, to escape Jail. must
pay S15 week to each of two women
for the support oe their children, Judge
Wadhams in General Sessions ruled
yesterday. Domb, thirty-two years old,
a painter, Of 1888 Fifth Avenue, had
pleaded guilty TO bigamy.
He married Mrs. Esther Domb in
Poland in 1909 After the birth Of their
child he came to America, and she, not
hearing from him, followed him after
the war closed. She discovered he had
married Frieda Wiener, Of 81 East
111th Street, March 10, 1918. and that
the couple had two children.
~ don't know what to do with you"
said Judge Wadhams "If you go to
prison your wife and child will become
public charges, and SO will the two
children Of the other woman
81 will hold this matter in abeyance
and suspend sentence, provided you pay
SIS week to your wife and S15 week
to the second woman. Take care that
you meet these obligations"
Wife No. stepped forward at this
juncture and told the court she did not
believe Domb could afford to pay so
much.
"I think he can," replied Judge Wad-
hams. painters are pretty we'll paid
these days. If he don't he'll go to Jail"
