There are some physicians and
public health officials who run
around like chickens with their
heads off and try to prevent
measles.
In the first place you might as
well try tc prevent rain, snow and
sun, and in the second place, l
think it is'a good thing for a child
to have measles and get it over.
The only serious cases of measles
are those which occur in institu-
tons where children are gathered
together in groups, such as orphan
asylums and boarding schools.
We had a terrible time with
measles in the Army in 1917 and
1918, because we didn't realize how
cross infections made serious COM
plications. The serious complica-
ton of measles is a broncho-pneu-
monis which apparently comes
from the inhalation of cough drop
let's and sputum droplets from
other measles patients.
Measles begins as a coryza-in
other words it comes like a COM
mon cold, a runny nose, red eyes,
a cough and bronchitis, and it isn't
until four or five days that the
eruption breaks out and the true
nature Of the condition is revealed.
II the child is segregated at home
in a room by itself from the very
first period of infection, very few
complications are likely to arise
and the disease will probably run
a very mild course. In a certain
number of cases an infection of the
middle ear (otitis medal occurs,
but this is not especially serious
If properly treated.
More Serious in Adults
The reason that I believe that
al children might just as well
nave measles to begin with is that
when it affects adults, it is very
serious. In our army experience
we found that soldiers from the
city were hardly ever affected, but
when we got a new draft of coun-
try boys, they came down with
measles in large numbers and
when they had to be treated in hos
pital wards or in barracks, cross
infection was very prevalent.
Measles in adults can be very
pulling. ! remember a patient, a
nurse girl who came from coun-
try district, who had nursed a
child through measles and who
was sent to me because she was
supposed to have a cold. l exam
med her dailv was quite convinced
that she had nothing but a cold,
but she insisted that she had
caught the measles from the child.
II wasn't until two weeks after
she first got sic, that the eruption
broke out and when | saw her that
day she said, "You can't say now
haven't got the measles"
The treatment Of measles is still
in the primitive stage. The eyes
should be washed out with boric
acid, the skin should be soothed
and a steam kettle should be used
in the room TO help the bronchitis,
but there is no specific treatment.

Sales Of Auto Licenses
1917 Behind Last Year

Announcing that about 5000 auto
mobile license applications are being
held up because of warrants against
the owners, who have not paid
traffic fines, William A. VanDuZer,
traffic director, today warned that
the deadline of March 81 is not far
off.
A last-minute appeal was sounded
by Mr.. VanDuzer to all motorists
to hurry with their applications to
avoid the rush, in view of the fact
that issuance of tags is far behind
last year.
Already sales of tags this year are
about 1O,5eO behind sales at the SINH
lar period last year, he pointed out,
or a 10 per cent lag.
About 5000 persons a day can be

advised to use the south entrance.

News and Comment of the Night Clubs.
BY the Spectator.
Trade Registered. q. s. Patent once

The big dance band is on its way
out. Though the people who flock
to dance floors may not be aware OF
it yet, they are gradually losing their
taste for the tonal and numerical
volume which has been so gen.
erously furnished by bands in the
past decade. And while this process
of fading love Is presumably taking
place in the subconscious mind of
the dancing public, an affection for
the small musical unit is growing
rroportionately.
Thus does Don Renaldo of 'Il Patio
make pronouncement on sthings to
come in the Nations everybody
music circles.
The casual bystander may be
quick to point out smirkingly that
Mr.. Renaldo should speak such lines
after all, doesn't he work with the
type of small unit for which he pre-
diets all those rosy things?
But Mr.. Renaldo will wave aside
the skeptics, take a quick swallow
of ice water and expound somewhat
as follows:
Yeah. sure I admit it looks like
I'm selling my own brand But right
now I'm not thinking of me and the
boys. All you gotta do is look around
and whattya see: John Kirby, Benny
Goodman'S seXtet, Adrian ROllini,
Matty Malneck-say, there's the
boy!
They're all good boys and swell
musicians, but Matty has the idea
l like. With that harp and fiddle,
trumpet, accordion, and bass, he can
pack any kind of wallop you ask for
swing, sweet, semi-classic, any
thing. And like all the rest Of the
small units, he can put it over COM
pact and personal, like only the
small gangs can from playing close
to each other and knowing what
the other guy likes and is gonna do
with his instrument.
There's nothing like it, and peo-
pie are gonna want more OF it be-
cause it's friendly and it's really
hot"
Diminutive Don does anything but
wish i'll to those musical brethren
who happen at present to suffer the
lucrative misfortune of operating in
large packs. In fact, as far as he's
concerned, such outfits as Kos

For example, there's a law on
the books in the State of Ala

Nebraska says it's all right
