Colds now seem to be more prev.
alent than usual, though the District
Health Department enters It's denial of
the statement.
The police and fire surgeons are
reporting large numbers OF men laid
up with colds. The public health
service finds that colds are pretty
much of an institution in all circles.
Two of the city's largest laundries
this morning reported an unusual
increase In the number OF handker.
chiefs sent in for treatment, the in.
crease being estimated at from 20
to Is per cent. .#...
"These rapid changes of tempera.
ture cause the number of handker.
chiefs used to jump as wildly az the

laundry official. THE average size
Of the handkerchiefs increases along
with the number. The ladies aban.
