HEALTH HEAD RAPS
MENUAT BANQUET
Germ Causing Illness of Pu-
pills IsoIated--SchooI Off.
CiaI Criticized.

Illness of 140 students and teachers,
who attended a banquet last week at
Business High School, was due to the
para-typhoid germ, known generally as
walking typhoid" the Health Depart
ment announced today. At the same
time DR.. z. j. Schwartz, acting health
officer, criticized school officials for
using bad Judgment" in the selection
Of foods for the banquet.
"Dietetics Ii taught In all the
schools" he declared, "and yet when q
banquet is arranged. those in charge
insist on mixing indigestible food and
we often find them mixing salads with
ice cream. It seems to be an unwritten
rule to follow this course when banquets
are served"
These para-typhoid germs were found
in both the potato salad and the
turkey, but IN larger numbers in the
former. which confirmed earlier pre-
dictions Of the Health Department that
the potato salad was responsible.
Further laboratory tests viii be made,
however. to determine the ratio of the
organisms In the salad and the turkey.
DR.. e. J. Schwartz, acting health of
ficer, emphasized that the food analysis
showed definitely that the victims did
not suffer from ptomaine poisoning.
"Para-typhoId" Blamed.
I'VE are almost certain" he said.

the illness. This. Of course, discounts
all ideas Of ptomaine poisoning"

ly responsible for the great number of
cases OF the illness. Some Of the pupils.
he believed, yielded to suggestion.
The bacterial organisms were isolated
by DIR. John e. Noble. chief bacteriolo-
gist OF the Health Department, who
worked almost continuously since last
Wednesday trying to determine the
cause OF the illness. Samples Of the
food were given various laboratory tests
and the bacteria incubated 40 hours
In order to make them visible under q
microscope.
Fourteen teachers and 30 students
still were absent from Business High
today. Allan Davis, principal. announced
at noon.
Miss Bessie Kaminsky was known TO
be recovering at Emergency Hospital.
A second student, Milton Hover, 1920
WASSOhoAA afCluC, WAS lOC8IeQ at the
Georgetown University Hospital, where
he was taken four days ago. Both
were reported to be out Of danger.
Among the members of the Business
faculty who still we absent from school
today were Miss May p. Bradshaw. vice
principal. and DR.. A. L. Howard. head
of the department of business practice.
They were among the most seriously
stricken Of the victims, but Davis said
they were nicely on the road to re-
covery" today. He had checked up on
the conditions of the other school per-
sonnel victims also and found them all
slowly regaining their normal condi-
tons. he said.
Miss Ethel Ginberg, secretary to
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant SUI
perintendent Of schools, was still absent
from her desk at Franklin School
Building today. although her condition
was reported to be greatly improved.

IMMEDIATE ACTION ESSENTIAL

Immediate favorable action should be the response
gwen to the plea made the city council Wednesday
night, to have grade crossings in Ell Centro equipped
with some sort OF signal to those using the cross
mgs of the approach of trains.
There is no argument against the need of protec-
ton at the crossings and in the past few months the
city has had several tragedies drive home the
sity of immediate action
Signals may cost little money, but the life of
even the humblest citizen is worth than all the
signals that would be necessary to equip every
ing IN the city. When lack of proper warning can
reasonably be blamed for the death of such leading
member of the community the late Judge Larew,
1t is high time that talking should and action be-
gin.
And while the city council is taking up this mat
ter with the railroads. it might not be of place to
discuss the speed of trains passing through the city
