CALL DOCTOR WHEN CHILD HAS
 SORE THROAT
Slogan to Reduce Diphthe- ria People Neglect to do So Even Nov, Declares Dr. R. H. Fear of the Health Department.

with 16 less cases this month than 5st, the diphtheria situation in brlogeport is showing a decided i'm pfoVement. There have been 51 cases reported so far this month against CT Tn NoVemoer and of this number there nave been three deaths to five in the previous month.
 People still neglect to call a doc tor when a child has a sore throat" said Dr. R. Ii. Fear, director of the Division of Courageous Diseases of the deaIth Department, and so we con- tinue to have deaths. Of the three deaths this month, in one case no doc tor was called in until after the child vas dead and in the second the doctor was not summoned until it was too late to save the child.
 we are having number of cases where the family are struggling hard 10 get along and where the people hesitate about calling in a physician because of the cost involved. Either they don't know that they can get medical aid through the Welfare Building or they are afraid that 1t would be seeking charity and so they neglect what seems to them to be only a bad sore throat, and cold.
 Every family should know that if get expert medical attention through the Welfare Building.
 Every mother should examine her children's throats well when they are healthy so that she can readily detect any symptoms when they complain of illness: Any white patches should be Immediately attended to as they are one of the signs of diphtheria. An other way of detecting this disease is by the bad odor of the breath, which is not symptom of tonsilitis. An other sign, too, is the swelling of the face at the angle of the jaw which ire quently accompanies diphtheria-
 The very best rule to follow, though, is that any sore throat which does not improve after a day or so but continues to get worse, or any croupy cough should be brought to the at tention of a physician cost a little fll-spared money hut 1t may also save the chi1d's life. For 1t has been proved again and again that earlier a child stricken with diphthera is given ant:-toXin, the better his chances of recovery are.
 Although the Health Department has announced that it was ready to give the Shick test, proving whether or not a person were susceptible to diphtheria and also the treatment which would render them immune to it, there has been no particular de- mand on the part of the public to take advantage of this.''

less favorable action can be obtained by the County Commissioners A committee was also named to wait on Commissioner Frank E. Ballard for the puspose of ascertaining If any, thing has been done in the matter.

NO SPOONING FOR
 GIRLS IN TEENS
Go Back to Moral Code of 1914 Says Lecturer No Kisses and No 1Spooning for 1922 She Urges
By JAMES l.. KIIGALLEN.

Chicago, Dec. 29 - New Year s resolution for ''teen" age girls: Don't to him and not often then!
 Mrs. B. c. HoweM, lecturer on morals and a delegate to the Inter- national Purity Conference In session here, urged the American girl to turn over a new leaf. reassert her tradi- tional right to chivalrous treatment and get back to the moral code of 1914.
 Spooning Is Terrible.
 "Spooning,'' she said in an inter- view, never has been so indiscrimi- nate-never has had such disastrou us results to the morals of the girls in the teen age. I know, for 15 years I have been making talks to grammar and high school girls, hearing their stories-stories they won't tell their own mothers. The girls say the men expect to be kissed; most girls think it is all right; they say every girl does it. Is it any wonder that the average age of girls admitted to the Florence Crittenden Missions has of 26 to 16, with some as young as 1O?"
 To which the Rev. wiIbru F. !, Crafts, then whom there are few more famous in the world of reform, added an enthusiastic "Ameni'
 BlameS Jazzy Dances.
 Blame jazz dancing, the seductive movie kiss that sets the example and the D0UCOOIn OH WEIGHS OlnSI lSS known as the auto1no nobile," said the superintendent of the International Reform Bureau. "The jazz palaces are nothing more than cesspools the inmodest scenes in the movies are sucking the souls out of our girls and the bedrooms on wheels are car rying them over the rapids"
 Dancing Master Speaks.
 Dr. Crafts heartily agreed with the suggestion of J. Louis Guyon, Chicago dancing master. who told the del0- gates that when they go back home they should call together a dozen substantial citizens and prevail upon them to register loud complaints when jag music Is played, smutty songs sung in the theatre or indecent dancing indulged in.
 Get up and walk out" he said 'The result will surprise you. Hun dreds will follow"
 Excellent said Mrs. Howell. But don't let the girls forget that 1922 resolution No spooningi Surely conversa aon is not a lost art.''

 Tokio, Dec. 29-Two factors stand out as strong arguments that the Ta- kahasht Ministry will not live long past the present session of Japan's Imperial Diet. which opened with the Prince Regent occupying the chair reserved for the Emperor. This was the first time for many years that a representative of the Imperial House formally convoked the Japanese Congress, and 1t was predicted that 1t will be one of the most colorful as- has ever known.
 First, the assassination of Japan's popular Premier has made the con tinue stay of the SeIyul6ai Ministry in office lore doubtful. Premier Hara was recognized as the one man In all Japan who was able, because of his political adroitness and knowledge of men, to combine his followers and retain power for his party. The lack of such a leader Is more strongly en- the Washington Conference. Come what may for Japan, the result of the conference will be utilized by those not in power in Tokio to overthrow the controllingf political group. If Japan fares poorly so much the bet ter for the Kenseikai and the Koku- minto, opponent parties to the con- trolling party today, II she wins the various points being discussed there will even then be found reasons why Japan appeared in an unfavorable light before the delegates of the Powers, and a further argument will be used against the Takahaski group. In addition. there Is the labor unrest, popular dissatisfaction against fall ure of the government to extend edu- cational facilities at home and many other points which do not strengthen hopes the Setyukai may hold for re- tention of political prestige. Count Uchida. Minister of Foreign Affairs. is reported ready to resign. Premier Takanashi Is holding the posts today

of Premier, Minister of Finance and Minister of the Navy. Under any circumstances there must be a great reorganization in the Cabinet, which few believe will leave the present group in control
 Before he became Premier. Wis count Takanashi, as Minister of Fi- nance, had made tentative plans re- garding the. budget These figures, showing a slash of 100, 100000 yen in the total expenditures to be made for 1922-23, give some indication of what Japan hopes to do in this period. The Navy budgets have been cut, doubt less In preparation for expected naval arms limitations. The 1922-23 budget will call for the expenditure of 1.463,- 000,000 yen. For the year ending the budget was 1,562, 2,00O,O0O yen. This shows that there will be a saving of about 10,000,000 yen, even if the fig- ures pass as they have been prepar- ed, which Is not at all sure. Figures In thousands of yen show how the ex- penditures will be allotted to each department of the Japanese Empires administration. These figures show a total of i.6Oo.OOo.0O0 yen. but this total is to be cut to 1.469, 100000 yen.

THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS TIED UP
I'm WINE GLASSES

New York, Oct. BY MaiD-Thin.
glistening wine glasses, hundreds of
dozens of them worth thousands of
dollars, are stored away in the big
hotels of New York and the stew
ards don't know what to do about it.
Some few have been sold and 9TH
ers given to friends Of the hotels who,
it was assumed, were able to employ
the gay glassware as it was intended
it should be used. But prohibition
made the glassware useless for the
hotels, most stewards feeling it dis
honorable to past memories to serve
ginger ale and impotent grape juice
in the fine old wine glasses.
A Fifth Avenue hotel announced it
had written off 100000 on glassware
at its after prohibition inventory and
others estimated their idle drinking
accessories at sums almost as high.

SWEETS VERSUS ALCOHOL

That withdrawal of supply Of
one kind of goods is bound to
increase demand for some close
ly related class of commodity
is illustrated by the enormous
increase in sale of candies since the
advent of the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution. Consumers of alcoholic
drinks, both the temperate and the
Incorporate used to obtain through
their medium an appreciate amount
of caloric heat which, whether so in
tended or not, went to supply the de-
mands Of the body for fuel. Now
that that means of supply has been
Withdrawn, or at least curtailcd, the
sale of candies in the United States is
estimated to have increased $552,200
900 a year. We've got to get our
carbohydrates somehow, and though
many are the males who prefer them
in liquid form, through force of ne
cessity they turn to the peppermint
stick and the chocolate drop while
the candy makers prosper.

ular path to glory and wealth of con-
quest 1t was not so regarded by the
American DICTIONARIES. either when
they set out or when they returned.
1t is not so regarded by the American
people today. May they never change
that view Of it. Occasions like this
serve to keep alive the convictions
then formed in the midst of carnage
and corruption. The world has par
esis if it isn't convinced of the fulfill
ity of war whenever people are wise
enough to apply their wisdom before
applying their brute strength to the
settlement of their problems. That
this may not be forgotten is an OBJ
legation on the succeeding genera
tons. Occasions which serve to keep
the memory fresh are to be welcomed.

Captain John Lyons, who has navi-
gated the Hudson river since 1852.
continues to guide the good ferry
Rockland between Nyack and larry
town.
Hale and hearty, the skipper
marked his latest anniversary with a
chat about some of the distinguished
passengers he had carried in the past
50 years.
He remembers Horace Greeley by
the way he used to. chuckle over the
comic pictures in the newspapers and
tell all his friends aboard the boat
about them. Admiral Farragut was
IA small man, like the Captain him
self, but always ready COR chat
about things of the sea. Grover
Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Sir
Thomas Upton and members of the
Gould and Rockefeller families al
ways stepped into the captains cabin
for visit when they patronized the
boat he commanded for years on the
Haverstraw to New York run.
Times have changed and especially
the women, the captain says. He
remembers the days of hoopskirts
and stages in lower Broadway. His
favorite story is about the time he
got into a stage and sat alongside a
woman in hoopskirt Another
woman with hoopskirt came in and
sat on the other side of the captain
who didn't have to pay his fare be-
cause no one saw him. He has had
to pay his fare ever since the hoop
skirt went out of fashion, he says.

Yosemite Park
Takes Visitor Record
From Yellowstone

Yosemite. Cal, Oct. 9.-Yosemite
National Park, California's great
playground. this year took first place
in the race among the national
parks for first place in attendance.
The lead was wrested from Yellow
stone National Park by q margin of
approximately 10000 visitors.
A telegram from Horace NJ. AL
bright, superintendent at Yellow
stone recently announced that
S1,347 visited that park dur
ing its 1921 season which closed
September 20. On September 10
Yosemite had a record of S9,157,
with heavy travel continuing. Never
before has Yellowstone, the oldest of
the national parks, been toppled from
the lead.
AS Yosemite is open the year
around the totals for the year will be
even higher. Final figures for the
governments statistical travel year,
which closes September 30, will bring
Yosemite's total for the twelve
months ending that date to about
10000.
Mr.. Albright reported that Yellow
stone had 1858 automobiles, carry
ing 5o.171 passengers this year.
Yosemite had 1S,405 automobiles
with 63.153 passengers. Railroad
travel to Yellowstone decreased by
! about 1000 passengers but Yosemite
shows an increase in railroad travel,
one of the few instances of an in
crease this year in travel by rail to
the national parks, despite higher
railroad fares which went into effect
late in 1920.
