Blymer, 80, who inStigated and led

HEAVIER ATTIRE IS BLAMED
FOR INFLUENZA SUSCEPTIBILITY
CHICAGO Scientist Says Women Are More
Subject to Colds Than Men, Due
to Change in Modes.

fist said. influenza statistics showed men
to be more susceptible to the disease
than women, although he attributed
this partly to the fact of the preva-
lence of the disease in concentration
camps
Dr. Smithies drew up brief schedule
of "don'ts" for women during the pres
ent influenza epidemic:
avoid kissing; don't smoke too
much when the throat is irritated, and
be sure to train your face away from
your partners while dancing"
So far as clothing is concerned, DR..
Smithies advised the women to wear
less or else to take more precaution in
wearing socks and furs indoors.
DR.. Smithies joined with DR.. G. H.
Bigelow, public health commissioner
of Massachusetts,, who earlier in the
day told the conference that in his
opinion reports of influenza were so
greatly exaggerated that Federal sta
tistics and reports seemed to be the
charts of panic
In the belief of the Chicago scien-
fist, the country is showing unneces-
sary alarm over the influenza situa-
ton. He expressed doubt as to whether
one out of 1000 cases reported are
actual cases of influenza.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-11

Statistics showing that women are
more susceptible to influenza than men
were attributed yesterday by DR.. Frank
Smithies, noted scientist of the Chicago
Municipal tuberculosis Hospital, in at
tendance at the National Influenza Con-
ference here, to the fact that the
changing mode in feminine attire de-
mands the wearing of heavier and long
err garments.
Women represent three out OF five
cases of influenza during the present
epidemic, according to DR.. Smithies,
who has been appointed a member of
special committee to study epidemics
from the viewpoint of prevention.
"Since women are now wearing socks
over their stockings for the sake Of APP
pearance, longer skirts than hereto
fore and heavier furs, their resistance
to colds is being steadily lowered" he
said.
Contrary to the popular belief that
the former styles of scantier attire was
endangering the feminine health, DR..
Smithies said that any study of statis-
tics will show that the women are
rapidly becoming more susceptible to
colds which are leading to influenza.
In the days after the World War, when
skirts were at their shortest, the scien-
