Health Figures Disclose
Worst of Epidemic Over
Mortality Is Less Than
Half the Total Reached
in Same Period in 1918

Although new influenza cases re-
ported yesterday showed large de-
crease, there being 672 fewer cases than
on the day preceding, there was an
increase of new pneumonia cases and
deaths from both maladies jumped
ninety over FRIDAYS figures. Health
Commissioner Copeland. while urging
renewed precautions against pneumo-
mia, said that there was no cause for
alarm and declared that the reports
from now on, while they might fuctu-
ate, would indicate in the main that
the worst of the epidemic was over.
The statistics prepared by the Health
Department for the twenty-four-hour
period ended at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning are:
New-York tribune., 1920-02-08


DIR. Copeland said that reports on
the attendance in the schools during
the epidemic indicated about the same
proportion of absences as in normal
days. He added that in some cases it
had been found that parents had kept
children from school through appre
hension that they would be exposed to
influenza. He remarked that during
the 1918 visitation only about-a 10 per
cent absent list was recorded, and
that then, as in the present outbreak,
children had been less susceptible to
the disease than older persons.
Also showing that the present epi-
demic is less virulent than the one in
1918 was the report yesterday from
obstetricans that few cases of in
fuenza among maternity patients have
been recorded, with q correspondlngly
low figure for fatalities. The Health
Commissioner pointed out that in 1918
the mortality was extremely high and
the cases much more widespread.
The fact that charts show the total
of deaths from both diseases to have
been 2,O77 in the last two weeks, the
most active period Of the epidemic, as
against 1920 deaths in a like time in
1918, led DIR. Copeland to say that the
advice given to the public by the health
authorities to go home, 60 to bed and
call doctor at the first symptoms Of
the disease, had borne fruit in the
lessened fatalities recorded.
at is a good time again to say to the
public" DR.. Copeland continued, "that
the person who has symptoms OF in
fluenza should not attempt to fight
against the disease. Instead, he should
go home and go to bed. One has only
to observe how very fatal secondary
pneumonia is to realize how important
is the most expert medical care.
"Nearly 80 per cent of the reported
pneumonia cases have proved fatal.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Oscar Friedman, of Borough Park,
Brooklyn, found himself a member of a
Jury which seemed hopelessly tied-up.
His wedding had been set for 4 o'clock,
but his fellow jurors seemed to have
no appreciation Of the Importance of
this event.
As the minutes passed Oscar became
nervous and finally, in his desperation,
he sent word to Supreme Court Justice
Fawcett, explaining his predtcament.
After considerable discussion the juror

BIZ BOERsIANER.

A more enduring feature OF the
day was budget OF railway earnings
for February. The preliminary period
TO a reyersion 10 private manage
ment made for important changes In
net revenue. Deficits decreased
markedly on minor as well as on
major lines. As. Mr.. Hines grip on
the .directorshJp became firmer re-
suits were less unsatisfactory. From
March on IL may be assumed that
the Improvement will be pronounced
"a waste-in, time, material and
men-will be rigidly eliminated.
Possibly the roads were not over
stocked with superfluous employees,
but IL Is probably that not a few en-
ployes appointed by Government Of
nciality had the serious defect of raw
inefficiency. The remedy is being
applied East and West. North and
South. Incompetence is being rapidly
substituted by competence. Pay
drawers with the Washington cachet
are giving way to men and women
who know something Of railroading.
