EFFICIENCY AIDS

One OF the most important aids to
good cookery is to have your kitchen
properly equipped, writes a Domestic
Science specialist In the London
Daily Mail. What used to be lux

ators, and so on-are now within
the reach of the majority of careful
housewives. But even II you cannot
afford these labor savers. there Is
scope for efficiency In the smallest
details. 1t pays to give attention to
such things as really sharp knives
for tilleting and trimming, d sharp,
two-pronged steel fork for turning
the breakfast bacon, a really efficient
tin opener. and wooden spoons that
are not too clumsy or too worn.
In this connection always keep 4

For many centuries the disease
was not differentiated from small
pox.
Nearly every individual In the civ,
ilized world has the disease, know,
ingly or not, at some time.
1t recurs in periodic waves, with
peaks for each community every two
and-a-half or three years.
1t has been one of the most serl-
Gus scourges OF mankind, wiping out
whole populations.
These are some of the curious
facts pointed out by public health
service doctors regarding the disease
which has reached the highest peak
ever recorded In the United States,
with record of nearly 81 900 81
multaneous cases scattered all over
the country.
1t long has been known that the
greatest danger from measles was

pneumonia.
The disease first was recognized,
IT was pointed out. by an Arab doc
tor named Phazes who lived In the
Tenth century. He described 1t as
mild form of smallpox. Not until
late In the Seventeenth century did
the English physician. Sudenham,
finally distinguish measles from
smallpox and scarlet fever.
During the American Civil war the
disease broke out in virulent form

power of the South. The Union
soldiers had low death rate. 1t is
believed that more of them came
from cities where. In common with
urban population in general. they
had developed n better immunity.
In 1876 British warship carried
measles to the Fiji islands. Within
four months 10000 out Of a popula-
tion of 10000 were dead. A few
years later 1t was accidentally intro
duced Into Greenland. 1t almost
wiped out the Eskimo population.
Ever since, extreme precautions have
been taken against allowing an
American or European to land on
the Island.
The cyclic nature of the disease
now is thoroughly recognized, ac-

tors. These cycles do not embrace
the country as whole but vary with
localities.

according to Assistant Surgeon Gen.

tically every adult Is safe from 1t.
Some of the public health service
staff have resorted TO the use of a
serum made of their own blood as a
| preventive measure for their chill
dren-but the wisdom OF this must
be decided In each case and Is up to
the family physician. The efficacy
Is Oy no means assured.
Before the days of Phazes nothing
Is known of the history of measles,
but q good deal can be deduced. AT
one time 1t must have almost wiped
out the human race. Only those
survived who were especially re-
sistant to It's ravages. They acquired
still greater resistance. In some
way they passed on either the nat
ural or the acquired resistance to
their children. Countless generations
ago such high resistance had been
built up In the white race that q
disease once deadlier than smallpox
or buhonic plague came to be looked
upon as mild malady of children.
Nearly every one has measles be-
tween the ages Of two and ten. The
older the child, generally speaking,
the less danger. A case In an infant
under six months Is practically nn-
heard of. Every one Is given a six
months immunity by the blood of
the mother RI 1t were not for this
protective measure measles cpl
demic would probably be about as
serious blow rs could fall upon az
people.
There Is slight variation In viru-
lence from peak to peak. This time
the disease Is not very virulent.
Practically every part of the coun-
try is affected. Usually the disease
tends to be concentrated In certain
localities during a particular peak.

Reed Strategy in Senate Seen
By Witness As Intended to
Help Contract BY Brown

iDetails of a Senate filibuster
'wageds by Senator Reed (R0 of
Pennsylvania, at the instance of
former Postmaster General Wal
ter F.. Brown, with an ocean mail
contract at stake, were related to
the Black Senate committee to-
day by an official of the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
The contract was definitely
promised by Brown to the Phila-
delphia Mail Steamship Line, A.
j. Ball. foreign freight agent
of the Pennsylvania Railrad, tes-
titled.
Fails to Get Contract
Ball declared to the committee:
Brown told me on March 1,
1888, that if the Senate resO-
luton intended to halt the
contract could be held up till
30 minutes after the bids were
opened, he would award us the
contract"
Reed conducted a filibuster
that prevented Senate action on
the resolution until l p. M, the
witness admitted He said:
Brown called us on the
phone and told us the contract
would go to us as the only
bidder"
Later in the day the Senate
resolution asking that the award
be postponed was approved, it
was revealed. Ball explained:
1--WE didn't get the contract.
Our application is still on Post
master General Farley's desk"
The resolution, offered by Sen
ator Black CD of Alabama, was
approved by the Senate 49 to Is.

to go through with the contract

testified. But the United States

BY DUNCAN FORSYTH
| Reinforcements are arriving
today for Government employees,
who are looking forward to VIC
tory in their battle against the
pay cut.
While advices from Capitol
Hill point strongly to an i'm
mediate restoration of S per
cent, and probable full restora-
ton on July /, the beginning Of
the next fiscal year, prepara-
tions are under way for the
meeting of the legislative con-
ference Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor tomorrow, and
restoration of full Government
pay is an important item on the
agenda.
Favored in Senate
Several influential members Of
the Senate have admitted pri-
vately that sentiment for restora-
ton of the cut is too strong to
be successfully withstood by the
economy advocates. The ques-
ton now appears to be largely
matter of the extent of reStora-
ton.
The A. F. of L. conference,
which will meet at the Car
penters' Building, will consider the
whole legislative program Of
organized labor. Postal workers,
who are powerful in the A. F.
of L., will push the demand for
restoration, and the federation
is already on record in favor OF
full pay, through action taken
at its convention here in Sep
tember.
The executive council of the
A. F. of l.. is in session this after
noon at the A. F. of l.. building.
It was hinted today that some
set of standards approximating .
code would probably be drawn UP
for government workers at the
meeting, with view to legislative
enactment.
From labor circles the infor-
nation comes that only one item
on the Federation's program will
take precedence over the demand
for Justice" to government en-
ployes. That is the demand for
shorter work-week in industry.
Adjustment Asked
In a communication today to
Senator Henry D. Hatfield (R.) of

an amendment to the independent
offices bill which would give ad.
