The most common time Of appear

March to June, the least prevalence
being from August to october.
Probably not more than three or
four out of every thousand cases die.
The available figures indicate that
the deaths In the United States run
from $500 to $500 deaths per year.
However, in serious outbreaks Of the
disease occurring in asylums for In
fants as many as IS per cent may die.
In poorer districts where there is NAL
nutrition, overcrowding, and made
quate nursing care, the death rate
may be high.
The disease is particularly serious
in children under one year of age,
running from 80 to SO deaths in q
thousand cases as contrasted with
three or four deaths in a thousand
cases In children between five and Is
years Of age.

New York, Dec. 23-The manner in
which the gay-going daughters, sons,
husbands and wives become scrambled
In the swanky New York night spots
has brought into being strange as
sortment of ultra sophisticated leg
ends and true tales.
After all, you must remember that
even in Manhattan there are but a
half-dozen or so glittering resorts OF
major reputation, where gather the
upperworld nomads: ladies and gents
from the social register, debutantes
and their boy friends, visiting stars
from Hollywood, stage folk and writ
ing folk!
Which brings me to the particular
story told me the other evening by one
of "the regulars.
X X X
A certain debutante, who until this
season had never before dared VEN
ture forth into the world OF night
clubs and speakeasies, was being usn-
cred about by young man whose re-
putationz was considered question
able" While he seemed to have en-
tree to few of the better parties, ne
was not considered good company nor
q good catch for girl making her
appearance in Manhattan society.
His name had come up IN the
household. The debbie found him
wise, attractive, charming. He knew
his way around. He seemed to know
the big town." He could whisper q
thousand secrets about people whose
names were prominent IN many 1ielos
She was impressed and attracted.
Both mother and father had limited
that she would do well not to be seen
with him again.

And then. just before THANKSGIVING

when the debbie drifted into certain
better-class resort-still on the arm
Of the lad.
At a table, just across the room, sal
her father. With him was a hand
some, flashy young woman. The
father frowned. The girl arched one
eyebrow. The wise young man hid
worldly grin behind the palm OF his
hand.
"Does the girl with your dad know
who you are?' whispered the young
man to the debbie.

Mexicans Boycott Santa Claus
Santa Claus is being boycotted by
the authorities in Chihuahua City
Mexico, according to recent news
dispatch. Teachers in the public
schools have been ordered to teach
their children, instead, about the an
cient Aztec god, Quetzalcoatl.
All of this, to anyone who used to
delight in Prescott's Conquest OF
Mexico" is rather interesting. For
Quetzalcoatl was surely the strangest
god in all the New World pantheon
He was the fair god'-white skinned,
with golden hair, who came to Mex
leo out of the ocean to the east,
taught people the arts Of civilization,
and finally sailed off on a raft of
serpents, promising to return again
at some later date and make all
things right.
Cortez's conquest of Mexico was
made possible partly by the fact that
many Mexicans believed he was the
returning god. Now, many centuries
later, Quetzalcoatl gets identified with
Santa Claus. His story has taken an
odd twist.

and the son is afraid he never will
be able to leave Siberia.
The following excerpt from the
lads recital epitomizes the rest o1
the story:
"Up near Omsk somewhere I
was put to work with Tartars and
Mongolians under Russian bosses.
There were twenty bosses to ten
workmen. We Americans were
given an interpreter. We had to
work seven hours day without
stopping to eat. When we did
eat, we only got black bread and
tea, after working from 7 a. IN.
to 2 p. m.
1--WE got no pay The company
held it for us. Some men had no
money for seven months. But
money would not buy food. Only
government order would give
us a chance to buy bread
Our quarters were small and
crowded.
THE Soviet government pro-
hibits children under eighteen
from working in the mines, but
little girls and boys. from thir-
teen to fifteen years old were
working in the deepest parts of
the mines in the no.thern Urals.
Evidently Mr.. Kohoutek prefers te
believe a fellow American who has
tasted the fruits of Sovietism in pre-.
ference to Communistic propaganda

We think he shows good sense.

Decreasing Traffic Deaths

Figures just compiled by the Trav-
elers Insurance company show that
automobile traffic deaths have been
decreasing, in many sections of the
country, ever since midsummer. AL
though the total for the country for
the entire year is now estimated at
about 34,000-2 per cent over 1890 i
figures-there are spots in which the
trend is definitely encouraging.
In New England, for instance, the
number Of deaths Is definitely below
last years toll. In Ohio. Indiana, IL
linois. Michigan and Wisconsin a de-
crease of per cent has been record
ed. In the Rocky mountain group
there has been drop Of nearly
per cent.
It's too soon to congratulate our
selves, OF course That total of $4,000
is still dlsgraceful. But even little
decreases here and there are good
news. Let's have some more of them
next year.
