FLU IN EPIDEMIC
FORM IN NEW YORK
S13 Cases Reported In Last "a Hours
Aged And Infants Suffer
Most From MaIady.

New York, Jan. 31.-Influenza
cases in this city have reached cpl
demic proportions, Health Commits
in making public a report showing
in making public a report showig
that S13 cases of the disease and 2S3
cases of pneumonia had been re-
ported during the past twenty-four
hours. There were forty-three
deaths from the two causes.
DR.. Copeland pointed out that the
epidemic this year was much milder
than the one of 191S-19, when on the
corresponding day there were re-
ported 2,O70 cases of influenza and
2S3 of pneumonia, with 81 deaths
from the former and 80 from the lat
ter. The comparison, he explained,
show that the disease this year is
not as infectious or as fatal as it was
two years ago. but he declared there
was sufficient reason for the public
taking all possible precautions.
III &OHtldllu dlcO Cclith dlNtnAlOu
to the age groups that were affected
in the epidemic of 191S-19 as COM
pared with the groups affected this
year. In 1888 the age group of
those between Is and As years was
the most fatally affected. while this
year those in the extremes of life
appear to be the hardest hit.
So far this year those under
years of age who have died from
influenza and pneumnia represent SO
per cent of the mortalities; those of
As to So years of age represent %
per cent, and those 65 years and ov-
er represent 10 per cent. leaving 25
per cent for those of the ages be-
tween 5 and As.
The commissioner expressed the
opinion that there may be some de-
gree OF immunity givn by the cpl
denies of 191S-19 and 1920, because
in those epidemics the middle-aged
were the most seriously affected,
while they are comparatively free
from the malady now.
The commissioner blamed poorly
heated houses as partly responsible
for the spread Of the disease this
year, and he ordered inspectors of
the department to prefer charges
against all landlords negligent in sup
plying of heat. Arrangements also
were made with the traction compa-
MES for increased ventilation Of their
cars during the rush hours.

QUICK ACTION SAVES
WOMAN FROM INJURY

What might have been a serious
accident was narrowly averted Mon
day of this week by the presence Of
mind and heroic action of Bruce
Montgomery, a member of the Bond
Tie Company. Mr.. Montgomery, in
company with others, was making a
tie-inspection trip over the local L..
& N. Railroad, by motor car and
were coming over the road between
KronOs and Centertown, when a lady
was seen walking upon the track
some distance ahead. They kept
thinking that she would leave the
track and upon coming near enough
to be heard they endeavored to warn
the lady by hallooing and calling to
her but she quietly preceded upon her
way without taking notice of APP
preaching danger. When 1t was seen
that she was unmindful of the APP
preaching motor car, frantic efforts
were made to stop il by those in
charge, but a too sudden stop, if it
could have been made, meant disaster
to those on board. When the car
was almost upon the woman Mr..
Montgomery, who is somewhat ath-
letically inclined, and said to be very

strong, leaped for the woman, catch
ing her in his arm on the Fly, 50 to
speak and they both tumbled off of
the track, almost unframed, the lady
receiving only slight bruises to one
foot, but almost scared to death as
she never knew that there was a mo-
tor car or any other person near UNI
til suddenly grabbed by her rescuer.
She is deaf, which explains the fact
that she did not hear the approaching
car and the frantic efforts of those
on board to warn her. She is the
wife of Mr.. E. e. Camel, residing in
the vicinity of the near-accident.

81 A CORRECTION.

Our esteemed contemporary in an
article on the City Government, last
weeks issue, stated that the City
Council had employed d. s. Bennett
Marshal. at a salary of $4,000 per
month with pay extra for his team.
The statement is erroneous in the
fact that the $4,000 per month COW
ers the full amount to be paid for
both team and marshal. In short
the pay of Marshal Bennett cannot
exceed $1,000 per year, and accord
ing TO the terms of the contract it
may be less.
