 He hunched his powerful shoul- ders and looked through the sheer glass sides of Ben Marden's Riviera across the Hudson to Manhattan, where the din1med lights winked through spring mist.
 Partners, Then Owners

 "It was during prohibition and I sank $6,500 into 8 cellar joint I called 'Monte's Clam House. The day after we opened four gunmen walked in and announced: We're the new partners We weren't sell- ing liquor, but they wanted in, any, way. The next day they announced they were the new owners. They gave me $2,100 and kicked Monte and me out"
 Tn twenty years of guiding the destinies of night clubs throughout the country, Harris has acquired a fistful of chapters for his memory book. He was the first to place a popular band on a stage as part of the show (Roy Sedley and his or clfestra, in 1926) and one of the first to put night club revue on a stage as in a theater.
 Rolling Restaurant
 Tn 1929" he said, T had a show in which all performers got from $35 to no more than $75 week, Some of them-all stars now-were Hal Leroy, Gertrude Niessen, Jackie Heller, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard. My dances were by Dave Gould and Leroy PrinZ, both out standing now in Hollywood"
 Harris was maitre d'hotel at the biggest night club of them all, the French Casino, which used to put on shows costing $175,000 and would gross as much as $2,500, ,000 a year. He helped run the Troca- dero in Hollywood and had his own spot, the Clover Club, in Miami last season.
 At the Riviera, where he is also in charge of suisine, he is trying to popularize 'rollaunt" - rolling restaurant for steaks and chops, which walters trundle right up to the table. It is equipped to operate during blackouts.

No Epidel1lics Among
 Armed Forces Tn U. $.
Expert Medical Supervision Responsible Excellent
 Health Conditions in Army, Navy

The high quality of army medical supervision, the great care in the selection of men for the army, and the freedom from epidemic diseases this past winter, all have con tributed to bring about an cxcep-
 tionally low sickness rate and record breaking low mortality from disease among the men in our armed services. Tn discussing these facts, the statisticians of the Metropoh- tan Life Insurance Company point put that the death rate among our army personnel located in United States is well below that for man of the same ages in the general population in spite of the many hazards of life in the army. For the year 1941, the death rate from disease, among the men in our army in training was little more than half that for 1940, which itself established a record, and was only about % per cent of the five-year
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-12

average from 1eS6 10 le4O. Mainly on account; of the absence of any serious epidemic last winter, the illness rate, as well as. the death rate, among the troops was far low- CT than the preceding year. In fact, 1t was just about half.
 Record Achieved
 The good health record of our army today has been achieved in the face of very real difficulties, such as are not ordinarily encount- cred in our small peace=time army. Particularly important is the fact that some of the new men, more particularly those from the rural areas, are for the fist time exposed to certain common germs and vir- uses, such as those which cause the principal infectious diseases Of childhood, though adults not pre- viously rendered immune are quite subject to them. Nevertheless, measles, scarlet fever, humps and cerebrospinal meningitis, all of which caused high rates of disabil- ity and death in our army in the First World War, are much less frequent in today,s army, and the mortality from them is negligible. As for cerebrospinal meningitis, thanks to the sulfa drugs deaths from this disease are rare, whereas in the First World War one-third of the men becoming ill from this disease succumbed to it, and the number who became i'll with 1t was much greater than today.
 Probably the least satisfactory item in the health record of our army are the venereal diseases, ale though here also the record is bet- ter than in the First World War. Current rates continue to be some what higher than in previous years. Some improvement has occurred quite recently, and it is hoped that this trend will continue. The civil authorities have g great responsib- itty in controlling veneral diseases near military establishments.
 Death Rate
 The death rate from accidental injuries also has tended to fall be- low the average of recent years. | NeVSIktleASSS, ulJuIAco dEC 1C0POAAoADRo for 8 majority of the deaths in the army even in peace time, and 1t must be remembered that many of the new men are engaged in un- accustomed activities more hazar- dous and far more strenuous than those to which they were 'accus- toned in civilian life.
 Health conditions among Amer ican troops abroad are military secret, but the statisticians report that from the fine record of troops in the United States and achieve ments of medical services at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, we can be certain that the men Stationed abroad are getting the best care that can be given them under pre- vailing conditions"
