Humble Oil, Vacuum Oil and Inter-
national Petroleum crashed to new low
levels early in the session. South Penn

dend declared o year ago would be

RECOVERY IN MARKET
MAY HIT RAPID PACE
Precedent Cited to Show Low
Averages Are Likely This
Month.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December 16.-Com-
parsons are being drawn between the
stock-market action in 1907. following
the failure Of the Knickerbocker Trust
Co., and what this precedent may mean
IN the present situation.
In the earlier period the low aver
age Of the market was reached In Mo-
vember, about three weeks after the
bank suspension, and the end of the
business depression in the following
June. From this it Is gathered that
stocks are likely to see their bottom
figures this month, and that the be-
ginnings of an improvement in trade
may be expected to be quite evident
some time during the first half Of 1881.
The parallels are not quite exact, for
the decline in commodities and in the
percentage of decrease in various lines
of trade, as well as in railroad earnings,
have been greater in the past year than
they were in 1907. This may permit of
q more rapid recovery than occurred
following the banking troubles OF that
year.

THE MEASLE. HAZARD

Too often parents deliberately per-
init their children to be exposed
to childhood diseases, measles for
example, believing that "it is good
thing to have it over with" This
attitude is responsible for substan-
tial toll of life and health.
Measles is no light matter. In one
American city more than 1400 child
rem lost their lives in one year from
this disease. states the Public Health
League of Washington. And this
calamitous result does not include
end results, such as impaired vision
and weakened constitutions that were
occasioned in thousands of cases
not terminating fatally.
Here are few simple rules which,
if carried out, would definitely re-
duce the measles hazard:
If the child develops a running
nose, sneezing, red and waterv eyes,
put him to bed Immediately and call
the doctor.
Keep the little patient warm and
eliminate drafts and glare.
Light diets only-milk, soups or
cereal.
Do not permit others to come in
contact with the sick child.
Keep the patient in bed until the
doctor permits him to get up; no
matter how well he may appear to be
Let the children live-keep them
away from measles.
