The Flu.

One or two sections of Highland
have been hit by the flu, the sickness
in several families in the HlghtoWn
valley proving to be that malay.
We do not know just how many
homes have been stricken, but sew
eral near Hightown and probably
some in Crabbottom. Thus far there
have been no complications or rapid
spread of the disease. !.
There are no cases in Monterey
and it is to be hoped that proper pre-
cautions will prevent an epidemic.
Do not forget that one precaution IN
sisted upon is for everybody to stay
at home unless trips are unavoidable.
Staunton has over 100 cases md
the public schools, theaters cct. have
been closed.

Y CONDITIONS N AY
AD TO RED j CT|O \
HOUSE MEMBERSHIP

Washington, July 3l.-Unless the
membership of the house is increased
from 435 to at least 500 TO meet the
Increased population shown by the
1920 census, 10 states will lose one
or more representatives, according to
Representative Siegel, of New York,
chairman of the census committee
which will frame the new apportion-
ment bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each: and
Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Nebraska, Vermont ana Virginia,
which will lose one congressman each.
Mr.. Siegel explains that if the
house membership is retained at its
present figure, it will be necessary
to increase the population basis in
each congressional district beyond the
2ll000, or major portion thereof now
fixed If this is done, he says, the 10
states named will lose one or mors
Of the present districts because their
populations have not increased in
proportion TO those of other states.
On the basis Of the estimated pop
ulaton OF l06000,000 for the whole
country in 1920, an increase of APP
proximately 100000 in 10 years, Mr..
Siegel says 65 or sc new seats in the
house must be created if the 10 states
are TO retain their present numerical
representation. While precedent war.
rants the increase, Mr.. Siegel declares
there is strong opposition to it on
the part of some Of the present repro
sentauves, while others favor reduc-
ton to as few as 300 memoers.
Mr.. Siegel expects the work OF
framing the new apportionment bill in
accord with the new population TO
begin with the reconvening Of con
gress in December and he anticipates
that the measure will be passed early
in 1921.
Every decade since 1890. with the |
single exception of 1870, the house |
membership has been enlarged to keep |
pace with the growing population.
Now the house floor is crowded when
"iA iilSAiAbViS arc present. seats IttI-
ly fill the chamber; the old individual
desks have been discarded and an in
crease in membership probably will
nave 10 be solve by narrowing tho
width of the seats
Ten years ago the house member
ship was increased from 391 to 4S5 on
the basis of a population of 1872
266 and the only exception to such a
procedure occurred I'm 1S40 when 10
congressman were knocked out by the
apportionment, the membership being
fixed at 232 after having been 242
for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept In
tact the numerical strength of all state
delegations besides providing for GER
tain Increases, but even then several
congressional districts fell short of the
maximum basis of 211 900 population.

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-One OF the
Problems facing American industry
Is the checking of the tendency to

samuel Gompcrs, president OF tho
American Federation of Labor, de-
clarcd in an address, here Friday
night before the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers. Tho process
already has been carried too far,
Mr.. Gompers said. for In many places
the man has become a human con-
Meeting link in the machine and mas
tered by 1t Instead OF controlling
the machine Itself.
The result" no said. ''is that to-
day mems work tends to become mere
toll. so II seems to me that the task
that lies before us is TO develop n
definite kind OF working environment
which VIII be attractive and which
Will inspire rather than rcpulse the
workman. Tho work Itself must be-
come central concern. This can
not be brought about unless the man
nnds the opportunity for sclf-expres-
sion In the days work and a chance
TO exercise his creative impulses.
at is the deadly monotony OF re-
pctitive work that Is 1T the root or
