Hello Everybody:

How do you like spring now it's
really here? It's just what the doc
tor ordered. Yes? I'll say. And
with its advent comes Mothers
Day on Sunday. I wonder how
many of you are planning some lit
tie remembrance for her, those who
are fortunate in having her still
with them. Be sure to send her a
card if she is absent or far away.
Baseball is on in earnest and
some of our handsom Lochinvars
are practicing down at Sumner
Field every evening. On the other
side of the Field is the tennis court
where the girls are taking part in
athletics. I don't know which is
developing faster-the muscular
arm or the budding romances. q.
Out of town this week: CLAUDE
MASON, who has gone down
towards the southern region for a
while. Il wonder who is missing
him now. MAGGIE MOORE
seems to have gone back to her
former love. The DON
STRAWDER-romance is flourish
ing these days. Otis your place to
furnish the missing name above).
-. Smiling JIMMY CARTER is in
the hospital. AS we go to press he
is much improved.
A Girls Prayer for Perfect Man
Horace Bells physique,
Louis Moore's hair,
Earl Shamwell's eyes,
George James nose,
DR.. Crump's personality,
Arnold Walkers perseverance,
John Thomas mouth,
Richard Sessions smile,
Sonny Berry's style,
Bill Simm's chin.
And to make him perfect add
Clark Cables ears. There are two
Beau Brummels who, in my estima-
ton, would have to run race for
the prettiest eyes. The one not
mentioned has a green-eyed steady
gal, so I am crossing him off just
to save my skin.
One of the current popular songs
hummed and sung by the Twin
Cities younger set is dedicated to
You" -. AS this is May the social
clubs and fraternities will begin
giving their spring parties. Of
course this means complete reno
walton of your wardrobe and bring
ing to light last years linen suits
and your organdy frills. Each one
is looking forward to seeing her
Adorable One" or somebody else's
Adorable One"
So, Pm leaving you for this
week, Folks, and be merry, be mer-
ry is my advice, for "the most
wasted Of all days is that on which
one has not laughed"

extreme care In handling fool and

many such cases, the chronic ty-

thousands there must be In the

UNCONsmERED FACTORS or
THE FLU

AnG FAG
Although the specific cause OF
The flu" IL not yet determined,
there ig little doubt that IL " q re-
spiratory infection. for IL seems GER
tain that the germ or virus Of the
disease enters and leaves the body
chiefly by way OF the breathing pas
sages. The infection LIS conveyed in
visible or inyisibly fine particles or
drOplets OF fnlicus, moisture or other
material discharged from nose or
mouth when the illness IL develop
ing and at It's height. OF course, a
second person may contract the dis
case by actual contact with the pa
tient, but the actual mode OF tnfec-
ton IN the great majority OF cases
Of the flu or any aother respiratory
infection fcrD Is by spray infection,
the virus or germs being carried IN
the spray given of when the ailing
individual coughs, sfeezcS or talks.
Almost everybody. no matter how
dumb, knows now that there Is
some risk involved In being spat-
tered by the spray OF an open-face
Is the same risk involved IN being
sneeze or cough. especially when
the miscreant Is obviously coming
down with or suffering from o dis
temper. And all physicians and
health authorities know that there
Is the same risk involved In being
spattered by the spray OF polite
conversation with such an indi-
yiduaI, even though the converse
tiOnal spray droplets be 30 me that
one doesn't feel them strike the face.
Practically the only difference be-
tween the spray OF cough or sneeze
and that OF conversation Is In the
range. tbe sneeze or cough spray
carrying ten or twelve feet, the con-
yersatioDal two or three feet. rarely
more than five feet.
UncOnsidered but, fear, prolific
factors In the spread OF the flu and
other respiratory infections are
physicians. surgeons, specialists
nurses. teachers, big business eye
