tect weak and susceptible
guina pig from a lethal dose Of
diphtheria toxin.
This serum was the anfitoxin
which he used on that Christ
mas Eve and which in 1893 be-
came universally available for
children in the United States.
II seems strange that this re-
versal of the malignancy Of ma
ture was begun only 30 years
ago.
II was the first step in our
treatment of all the infectious
diseases.
IRON 1880 to 1890 in New
Il York City, diphtheria killed
between 800 and 1000 per 100
600 of the population a year
mostly children.
That would mean today that
in New York City about 10000
children would die of diphtheria.
The actual number of deaths
from diphtheria in New York
and all its boroughs for the last
few years has been less than 30.
In 1910 it was OIL per 100000.
Or, in other words. six per-
sons died in New York of diph-
liberia in 1871. as against 10000
if the 1890 rate had prevailed
And those six deaths were
probably more due 10 ignorance
and superstition on the part of
the parents-letting things go
until too late-than 10 lack of
medical skill and alertneSs.

der IL the evacuation had been
a good thing.
This, mark you, against the
written record of the discovery
of spies among the Japanese all
along the coast, against proof
that the most subversive ele-
ments which constituted dis
tinct menace to the safety of
the United States existed among
them, including the gardeners,
cooks, chauffeurs, houseboys and
vegetable growers aforesaid.
Against this record, only re-
Gently, there has been a move,
ment to let some of the Japa-
nese back into their old areas
in coast cities. which has
aroused protest to Washington
from citizens and officials.
IT is agreed by all west coast
Il ers that probably most of the
American-born Japs are loyal
and that some of the Japan-born
may be, but that the return of
one or both in these times
would be counting an unneces-
sary danger. 1t would be dam
gerous to even the American
born themselves.
Some of the latter are in the
United States army and may
enter the evacuated areas in
uniform, but the civilian Japa-
nese of either class are not
wanted.
In the camps of the evacuees
the attitude of the average alien
japanese toward this nation has
been reflected in their naughty
and contemptuous bearing. their
fiouting of regulations. their con-
tinued subversive sentiments
and probably working in their
indictments to riots.
They have made a sucker OF
