Many people seem to consider the
Christmas Season fine time to re-
lax their ordinary attention to intel
ligent principles of hygiene. Under
the stimulus of pleasant company,
diversified entertainment and rich
food they commit foolish sins
against the rules of simple living.
AS a result, there are many unnec-

painful, others more serious.

| NEW YORK, April 13-Aroused by
! the acQuittal in Federal Court of Texas
Guinan. Police Commissioner Whalen in
an address last night advocated a law
| forbidding employment of hostesSes in
night clubs. He declared the night club
atmosphere to be a vicious" one and
said that the demand for girls between
! l6 and 18 years of age for hoStesses was
so great as to create serious moral
situation.
Although he did not mention Miss
i Guinan by name, he said the publicity
given the trial of a night club hostess
this week, was an affront to law and
order"
This question of a night club hostess
is very serious one" he added ut is
becoming close to something else long
since driven out of this community, and
the young girls who read of this case
will be led on by the publicity given
her 'heroism'
1T sickened me to see the publicity,
for the person on trial this week was in
the forefront in bringing young girls
into this unwholesome atmosphere"
The commissioner spoke before the
newly organized Church Eaymen's Com
mittee of the Greater New York Fedora
ton of Churches. He said he hoped the
federation would get behind movement
to have a law enacted prohibiting en-
ployrnent of night club hostesses in New
York. Miss Guinan was acquitted of
charge of maintaining a nuisance
through sale OF liquor at club where
she was hostess.

NEW METAL TREATMENTS

The new Model A Ford automobile
contains some of the finest examples
in the world of new metal treat
ments for resistance to wear and to
the torsional strain imposed upon
some Of the parts of the modern in
ternal combustion engine.
One of these is the crankshaft.
In this latest Ford product the
crankshaft is made of special Ford
carbon manganese steel, developed
under processes Of metal blending
and heat treatment that are new to
the industry.
These processes produce crank
shaft that is heavier than any pre-
yious Ford crankshaft, that is tough
err to resist wear and stronger to re-
sist the torsioRal strain Of high
speed performance. The weight OF
the shaft in itself makes for smooth
err operation and the static and dy-
manic balancing process to which II
is subjected before it is Installed in
the motor still further reduces the
chances of vibration.
This sptcial carbon manganese
steel is only one of more than forty
different kinds of steel, each repre-
senting a special treatment, which
are used in the manufacture Of the
new Model A Ford car.

INFLUENZA IN MARYLAND

A report on the influenza situation
in Maryland prepared by DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health shows that over 15.-
900 cases of influenza were reported
in. Maryland, during the six weeks
beginning early in December and
ending the middle Of January. OF
the total, 9,40O occurred in the
counties and 5000 in Baltimore
City.
Comparing this years outbreak
with epidemics of previous years.
DR.. Riley said that the last wide-
spread outbreak in Maryland occurr-
ed in 1923, when 1851 cases were
reported; 1857 in the counties and
l4,774 in Baltimore City. The most
favorable years since the great cpl
denies of 1918, 1919 and 1920, were
1924 and 1925, with 2,156 cases in
the State in 1924, of which 1854
occurred in the counties and 2,125
in 1925, Of which 1926 occurred in
the counties. In 1928, 3,771 cases
were reported, 1887 of which were
in the counties; in 1927 there were
3,077 cases, 1,487 of which occurr-
ed in the counties, and In 1926 there
were 6,S36 cases; 2.946 In the
counties and $500 in Baltimore
City.
On his return from the recent con-
ference on influenza, held in WASH
|ington, at the call of the Surgeon
General of the U. s. Public Health
Service, DR.. Riley said that observa-
lions made by health authorities
have shown that an outbreak Of in
fluenza, such as has swept the coun-
try this winter, usually runs its
course in from five to ten weeks.
Very often however, the first out
break is followed few weeks later.

very soon, but in the meanwhile.
every possible precaution should be
taken to keep the disease within
bounds. The exercise Of such pre-
cautions now, will be our best safe

Like other highly contagious die
seases, influenza Is most likely to att
tack those whose powers of resist4
ance are below par. On that ac>
count, emphasis was laid in the rec.
concentrations, made by the confer.
ence. on the Importance of keeping
