do about them.
A. "a Each Of your employees
Der. Possession of more than one ac-

baby is eight months for this req son.
 There are two methods of immun- ization. one, the giving of one dose of alum precipitated toxoid; the other, the giving of two doses of the second. About 9Opo of children be- come immune to diphtheria after these inoculations, but the fact should not be overlooked that there are at least ten out of every hun drede children SO inoculated still somewhat susceptible to the disease. A Shick Test given four or five months after the il1oculation, which is the time it takes for complete immunity to develop, will tell de- finitely whether the child is immune or not. If not the toxoid should be given again.
 Regardless. of whether a follow-up Shick Test is done, however, every child should have these preventive inoculationS. They are accompanied very rarely by any reaction other than a mild inflammation at the site of injection, and never harm the child.
 There is no reason why every child in the city can not have the benefit of this immunization. For children whose parents are unable to pay a private physician for the toxoid, the Board of. Health holds clinics in different parts of the city for the inoculation of the pre- school child Cup to five years of age), and similar clinics in the schools

The importance of immunization against diphtheria has now become recognized generally, but needs re- peated emphasis. There has been so little diphtheria in the community in recent years that many people have been lax about having their children immunized, with the result that an increase in the number of cases has occurred in Waterbury this past year. The value of immupization is H. lustrated in the following statistics:
 From 191O-15 deaths per 100. 600 population from diphtheria were 30 per year.
 From 1915-2O, g per year: From 192O-25, 17 per year; from l925-3O. 3.6 per year; from 1930-34, 2.5 per year: In 1894, death; In 1885, no deaths reported.
 The number of cases reported has also shown a similar decrease dur ing the past twenty years.
 Practically all children under two years of age and the majority under five years are susceptible to diph- theria. Many older children have acquired an immunity but should be immunized anyway to be on the safe side unless Q Shick Test has been done and is negative proving their immunity. $
 Some degree of immunity is in- herited by the baby from the moth- CT. This immunity lasts only six to eight months at the longest, and the ideal age at which to irnmunize the

a fiare-up of the disease. Eight hun- dred and sevently children were ilnmunized at the preschool and school clinics last year besides those treated by private physicians. There is no need any longer for the loss of single life from diphtheria. Let US hope this fact may be &C., complished very soon by the im- munization of those children still unprotected against the disease.

ings of bankers Of the year as the
American Institute of Banking
has a membership of more than
$4,000 men and women engaged
in the banking business.
Speakers of national promi-
nence addressed the several gen.
eral sessions of the st. Paul gath

ing problems occupied many Spe-
cial conferences.
Among leading speakers on the
program were Tom K. Smith,
president of the American Bank
ers Association, and Bishop James
E. Freeman. Other speakers from
Washington included I. j. Roberts,
Riggs National Bank; Ralph Endi-
colt, Washington Loan and Trust
Company; Paul J. Settler, Ameri-

took part.

BIG CIGARETTE.
DEMAND SEEN

Sales in the cigarette branch Of
the tobacco industry continue at
a record-breaking pace. Current
estimates place the 1887 demand
10 to IS per cent above the 1884,
166, 900, 900 smoked last year, &C.
cording to Poor's Stock Reports.
The pressure of higher tobacco
costs on profit margins has been
greatly diminished by the whole
sale price on popular brands. The
January advance Of Is cents per
thousand net should yield more
than 10000, 900 additional, more
than enough to cover higher costs
and permit wider profit margins
than were enjoyed in 1896, the re-
port says, adding:
"While the tobacco acreage
this year may be increased Is
per cent, fears that this cxpan'
sion may weaken tobacco prices
and affect manufacturers high"
priced inventories appear un'
warranted. The large acreage In
prospect can do little more thaA
satisfy increased demand for
raw tobacco.
"The earnings outlook for
cigar makers varies consider
ably. Those whose primary
product is the Scent cigar VIII
have to increase their sales
volume considerably to maintain
aggregate profit levels. In TINS
division there have been NO
price advances to offset higher
leaf costs. While selling prices
have also remained generally
unch ange e. on higher-prlced
cigars, manufacturers are better
situated in this class, because OF
wider profit margins on their
products. Moreover the demand
for higher-quaIity cigars Is cur.

Of the great depression. Although
there are problems still TO be solved.
and some Of the remedies may back
fire on us later on, there is no doubt
that industry and business in gen.
eral recovered their equilibrium and
hit a normal stride during the past
year.
As 1886 goes into the past tense.
the tempo of business activity con-
tinues to accelerate, aided by the re-
turn of an almost forgotten feeling
Of confidence
The highly satisfactory showing
which business has made this year
is all the more encouraging because
Of the political uncertainty which act
ed as a brake during the first IN
months Without the retarding in
fiuence OF a bitterly fought presiden-
tial campaign, it is probable that
even more would have been accom-
plished.
The closing months OF the year
have seen industry sweep forward
with vigor and aggressiveness rem
iniscent of those uncomplicated days
when a chicken graced every pot and
each garage had two doors. The
last year of the depression has re-
gained much OF the ground lost since
1880 and, with luck, it may be the
springboard for prosperity.

tBy Cambridge AssocistesJ

In the year just closed electrical
equipment manufacturers witnessed
the largest volume of business in six
years, as rising wage levels permitted
a sweeping increase in purchases of
household electrical goods and higher
rail and utility earnings brought a
revival in purchases Of capital equip
ment. 1t Is estimated that the total
volume Of equipment purchases for the
year exceeded $7so,000. 900. with the
two major companies accounting for
more than so per cent OF this total.
A sizable recovery was also reported
in exports.
Present backlogs OF orders indicate
that operations will be near capacity
