MORE INFLUENZA
IN NEW YORK CITY
VIII Resort TO Emergency Measures
Unless 1t Is Cheeked-IIealth
Commissioner Rlames Houses

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Dr, Royal S.
Copeland, health commissioner, an
nomced last night that he would be
obliged to resort to emergency measures
if the present rate of influenza and
pneumonia cases continues today and to-
morrow.
Yesterdays total in new cases and
deaths for both diseases was the greatest
so far this year. There were LIP new
influenza eases and fifteen deaths and
POO new pneumonia cases and y deaths
reported to the department OF health for
the "A hours ended at noon.
Preparations have been made to en-
force the system of working hours
whereby segregated trades set the clock
ahead or back for one hour in order TO
relieve the pressure on the subways and
clevateds
DR. Copeland said:
"'Deaths reported are still low in COM
parison with previous years. Housing
conditions in Manhattan are to blame
for this epidemic. Should the present
rate of increase continue two or three
days it will be necessary to adopt the
'stagger' system of hours for big bust
ness houses.

Wilmington Times

wilmington IlmeS.1
The Burlington Free Press suggests
Barber of BrattleborO" as a good man
for speaker of the house. OF course the
Free Press really intended to refer to
Representative Barber of Wilmington.
Barber of Wilmington stands head and
shoulders above his namesake in mental
equipment and knowledge of state af-
fairs. He has been an apostle of econ
omy. while Barber of BrattlebOro as
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tionS of the last session must be held
responsible for the most lamentable fl
nancial condition in which the state now
finds itself Then, too. Barber of Brat
tleboro is of the politician class for
which people will have no use for this
year. while Barber of Wilmington is a
close student of affairs. takes the course
he deems right regardless of personal
consequences, and naturally has incurred
the opposition of the professional politi-
cal cult Barber of Wilmington is the
kind of man needed in the chair.

Praises Economy.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-Brandishing
broom in either hand, striding rapidly
from one end of the platform to the other
and stamping his feet until the echoes
rang in d. y. r. hall, where the arms
conference meets in dignifed session,
Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget,
brought home to more than 1000 officials
assembled yesterday in the second bust
ness meeting of the government the APP
propriateness of his hell and Maria
nickname.
For more than an hour he poured forth
criticism and praise alike on officials OF
high and low degree.
Stopping suddenly in the midst of CT
tation of instances of lack of cooperation
by governmental departments with budget
co-Ordinators. which instances he de
scribed as fly specks' on the bureaus
record of accomplishments, Mr.. Dawes
suddenly shouted:
Where are those brOoms?'
Three brooms We're produced from
under table by an assistant.
There" the budget director exclaimed
pounding the floor with the handle of one
of the brooms, lis your broom that
meets navy specification. And here are
broOms that do not meet those specifca
tons but sweep just as well. The navy
bought $4,000 of its specification brooms
when it could have had 100000 army
brooms for nothing
The budget director said it took a
months persuasion TO make the marine
corps adopt a slight change in color il
order to use 100000 army shirts and saw,
| $4,000 He told Secretary DENLY, how
ever, the record of the navy for co-opera
tion with the bureau was the best of the
departments
AS an instance of cooperation in the
treasury, he declared that when it wa:
found there were Is different purchasing
agencies in that department their co
ordination was effected without delay.

deavor to cut down its expenditures anC

ATHLETICS LOSE

Drop Thriller to Bellows
Falls in Paper Town
by 1922 Score
ALIBI Is INABILITY
TO SHOOT FOULS

Secured One More Basket from Floor
Than Did Opponents, but Latter Scored
Three Points on Free Tries-Seventy-
Five Went from Here.
About 800 enthusiastic basketball fans
saw the fast Bellows Falls team nose
out the Athletics of Brattleboro, 23 to %.
last night in the Armory at Bellows
Falls. The game was fast and exciting
throughout and the Bellows Falls fans
pronounced it the best game played there
this season.
The local boys got one more basket
from the floor than the Bellows Falls
lads did, but their lack of ability in foul
shooting spelled defeat for them despite
their better shooting. LindstrOm and \.
Fountaine starred for the Falls team,
while Cakes and Sawin did some nifty
shooting for Brattleboro. About % fans
went up from here to see the game.
y. Fountaine started the scoring in the
! first period with three points on a free
| try and a basket from the floor. Sawin
quickly came back with a basket for the
! locals. \. Fountaine and Lindstrom got
two from the floor for Bellows Falls,
! while Cakes and Burn Dunlevy tailed
| twice from the floor for Brattleboro. The
/ Hndl ScOIlHS VI the ptIiOt came oli JAS
kets from the floor by Barry and Sawin,
and free try shot by n. Fountaine. The
| final score for the period was 10 TO s in
| favor of Bellows Falls.
| During the second period Lindstrom
scored twice and Barry once for the Salls,
! While Sawin and Cakes each Tailed once
| for the locals. This gave the paper
makers the big end of n 1Gto-12 score.
| The final period was a hot one from
/ start to finish, and the crowd went wild
Before minute of the period had gone by,
| Cakes and Sawin had tied the score; but
not to be beaten, \. Fountaine got a point
on a free try and a shot from the floor
which gave the Falls boys a three point
| lead. Manning nailed one from the floor
| but it was quickly offset by one by Cakes.
| Then G. FOuntaine made the final points
of the game for Bellows Falls on a pretty
shot from the floor. The Athletics then
proceeded to almost wipe out the Bel

| Sawin getting two nifty ones from the
| floor. Whitney almost nailed another
one as the whistle blew to end the game
! leaving Bellows Falls a one-point victor
