You re Telling Me -

Even nature this year is helping
the children to believe there is a
Santa Claus. A comet is due at
Christmas time and the moppets
are certain to mink it sparks from
the shoes of Saint Nick's speeding
reindeer.
Maybe the reason that Illinois
reformer is trying TO prevent bowl
ing in his town is because he's
afraid the boys will get wrong
ideas-ten pins look too much like
bottles.
Now comes some expert or other
TO say that the fox really isn't
smart animal. He's certain to be
smarter he couldn't give such
an excellent imitation of smart
ness.
France now has a Ku Klux Klan
organization Imagine, on dark
night, meeting travelling bed
sheet-with a French accent!
Radio humor now has reached a
state where comedians joking about
their jokes don't get laughs any
more.

Bruce Catton Says:
: How to Determine Your Gtys Assets

for highways, FOR light, for san
itation. for police, fire and health
departments? What is the hom-
eide rate? How much unemploy-
naent was there in the census year
of 1880? What is the average IN
come of the citizens?
Answer all of those questions
and lot along similar lines--and
YOU get pretty fair picture OF
a city Furthermore you get pic
ture Which is not necessarily the
same as the one you would get
simply by adding up the city's
tangible, visible assets-its tran
sportation facilities, its industries,
its natural resources and SO on.
Which leads one, then, to the
conclusion that there are civic
assets and civic assets. The man
who insists on putting through a
program for decent municipal play
grounds, for instance, may be do
ing more for his town than the go
getter who brings in a new fac
tory. A good public library may
be worth more than a new rail-
road terminal. A first-rate super
intendent, or health commissioner,
or police chief, can be civic as
set of incaculable value.
Those things are obvious, to be
sure-so obvious we usually fail
to think about them. We try to
assess a city's advantages in terms
of dollars and cents, and 1t just
can't be done. For city, after all,
is a place where people live; and
this infinitely complex network Of
things which determine whether
their lives shall be pleasant or not
is something that can't be express
ed in a financial statement.

For the Children's Health
DR.. Ruhland Asks Public Awakening
Against Measles.

ticipate in the organization Of plans
for lessening the morbidity and NOR
tality curves Of measles during the
coming year..
The various immunizing prepara-
tions were first used on wide scale
during the 1884 epidemic. All are
based on the principle that person
who RECEIVERS from a disease has de-
veloped In the blood stream a means
OF combating 1t. Thus second and
third attacks Of measles are very rare,
although not unheard Of. Something
Is stopping the germs-they are ultra
viruses vastly too small to be seen
even with the most powerful micro
scope-from getting another foothold
In the system. Experience with other
diseases indicates that this immunity
can be transferred to somebody else,
but the efficacy OF the procedure varies
with the various diseases.
The present year may offer q

splendid opportunity for testing out
the efficacy Of measles immunity. Dr..
Rutland is urging that any District
physician who uses an immunizing
agent keep very careful record Of
what happens. It Is not proposed
that children be immunized en- masse
as means Of prevention, but that
the agents be administered to modify
the course Of the disease.
The measles epidemic Of 1894 was
especially bad In Washington. There
was more than the usual complica-
ton Of pneumonia, and not = few
deaths resulted. This year may be
better or worse, but the last expert
ence, DR.. Ruhland emphasizes, should
serve as warning that the disease
is not to be taken lightly. Treatment
Of every case should be under medical
supervision-and measles epidemic
Is busy time for doctors.
Much the same holds true for those
other common diseases Of childhood
whooping cough and mumps. They
are likely to leave far-reaching after
effects. Their cycles, however, are
not so predictable as Is that OF measles.
Evening star., 1937-05-25

III.
This is likely to be measles
year"
The day is past, warns DR.. George
c. Ruhland, District health officer,
when this almost universal malady
Of childhood can be treated lightly.
It leaves after-effects which may
cripple child for life.
At some time in the history OF the
race it is likely measles was one OF
the most terrible scourges ever known
to man. Influenza-even yellow
fever or smallpox-may have been no
more serious. Even in historic times
it has made notable ravageS. 1t
swept through both armies during
the Civil War, for example, and was
one Of the contributing causes to the
eventual collapse of the Contederacy.
There are records of the almost COM
plete depopulation OF remote islands
by measles epidemics.
The race apparently has built up
q good deal Of resistance to it, but
this IS no sure safeguard. One who
has ever nursed a child seriously
Ill with measles is not likely to smile
about it. It is known, DR.. Rutland
emphasizes. that measles runs IN cpl
demic cycles. These are so regular
that they can be predicted with some
degree of certainty. DR.. James G.
Cumming, epidemiologist OF the Dis
trict Health Department, has called
attention to the fact that we may
look for high points in a recurrent
measles frequency every third year.
The last high point occurred IN 1884.
This would place the recurrence in
the present year.
Drop in Frequency.
"While the Summer months" says
q recent issue of the Medical Annals
of the District of Columbia, will
show the usual drop in the frequency
OF cases, we may expect an increase
during the Fall months, carrying us
possibly over into the year 1888. In
asmuch as 1t Is possible to forecast
the recurrence of epidemics of Ger
tain diseases. it is proper that this
should be brought to the attention
both OF the medical profession and
the public.
Measles unfortunately is not quite
the harmless childhood disease which
1t Is commonly believed to be, but,
by reason Of complications, is dis
ease that should have medical super
vision. Human immune blood serum,
or whole blood, and lately placental
extract, have proved quite effective
as preventive agents. It seems that
we are facing an opportunity to es-
tablish the worth-whileness OF these
biologicals offered for immunization
against measles or modifying the at
tack.
In combating a known recurrence
Of measles three things seem espe-
eially important-to arouse the pub
lie, especially those families having
children in the dangerous age group;
to secure the cooperation of the
medical profession and to utilize the
departmental personnel, especially the
nursing staff. The Medical Society
