STUDENTS WILL CHART
SNEEZES AND SNIFFLES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November 3.-Sneeze and
sniffie charts are to be kept beginning
today, throughout the influenza sea-
sons, by students of University of
Chicago, Ohio State University. Har-
ward. University of California and
Louisiana State University.
The idea, originated by the federal
public health service. is to get the
low down on the low centers of the
country. where some experts believe
there is low resistance to epidemics
like grippe. Blanks are today in the
hands of students at the Midway Uni
versity. and they will be in the hands
of all students of the other test in
stitutions Monday.
Every time a flu germ takes a
bite, or there is more than the normal
must jot it down on the form chart
keeping as close a record as possible
of the development of the attack
Dr. James G. Townsend, health serv-
ice investigator for the Great Lakes
region, explained that at the end of
the. winter statistics will be tabulated
from the charts. which should show
which sections of the country produce
the greatest and the least resistance
to colds and influenza. Then public
health officials in the harder sections
will be enabled to guard against epi-
denies that might arise from, the
coming of infected persons from low
resistance centers.

collection of the money.
The cQngested condition OF the hos

home. general improvements to the
hospital that are needed. as well as
the necessity for the reduction OF the
floating debt of 100000 now reposing
on the hospital books-which includes
the purchase price for the site of the
new home for nurses--all entered
into the deliberations which resulted
in decision for the drive.
For the past two years emergency
Hospital has been considering such a
drive. One thing after another crop
ped up, however, and the institution
was reluctant to- impose upon the
public another burden to those al
ready being borne by Washingtonians,
and the decision to start the drive
was continually postponed until the
situation became imperative in Its de-
mands for action.
There is no alternative. it was
stated at the hospital today. The
drive must be put on or the hospital $
financial situation will preclude the
presentation of such service to the
public as IL demands.
Emergency Hospital also was hit
by the same neglect which gave Cas-

Commander stuart a Witness.
Commander II. A. Stuart yesterday
told the committee that former Sec
retary Fall OF the Interior Depart
ment after the transfer of the naval
reserves in California and Wyoming
from the Navy to the Interior De-
partment had insisted that Secretary
DENLY detach him and Commander
Shafroth, who with him had charge
of naval oil reserve matters in the
Navy Department, and send both out
of the city. This was done, he said,
because both had opposed the methods
..Lopted by the Interior Department in
administering the affairs of the naval
reserves.
Frederick G. Clapp. one of the two
biologists who investigated condi-
tions at Teapot Dome for the COM
mittee. with special reference to the
danger of the oil supply there being
depleted by drainage, testified there
had been a misconception in some
quarters of the reports submitted. He
explained that he and his associate,
James o. Lewis, were of the opinion
that reserves potential supply rang
ed between 100000 and 29,000O 900
barrels.
Explains Difference in Estimates.
Calling attention to the original
estimate Of the bureau of mines that
the supply would approximate 1885,
100000 barrels. the witness attributed
the difference between that forecast
and the one made by Lewis and him
to more accurate information in their
possession.
Drainage which has taken place
has been slight" Clapp testified. at
is impossible to say exactly how
much. but do not think the drainage
of oil up to this time from Teapot
Dome into the Salt Creek field has ex-
ceeded $4,000 barrels"
