the c-vtem is of such a ibaracter as to insure life tenure. Any system th3t keeps people moving ahout from houre to house, (hat invites constant change, that puts a premium on aimless roving. Is! bound to eventuate in general restlessness. We nre broaching such a system in this country relay. If is time for us to think about it and the problems it presents. FIGHTING INFLUENZA.

pesons than to close the schools, lot the children run th feets and assemble when and wivre they would and if 'hey get influenza to let them get it under conditions of which the health department had no knowledge and in which it. was not prepared from the stait

i to deal with the situatirn in the best way.

"Now about the theaters," Dr. Copeland continued. "I never had any doubts in my miud about the big

of society, but nmst everybody agrees to it iadi ft'erent !y I modern sanitary theaters. The im!v question of infec

tion was in the hole-in-the-wall moving picture shows Some of these had low ceilings ami no direct floors and the windows opening iuio the air; sometimes their

artificial ventilation systems were defective or not op- i crating. Such places were breeding grounds for the J disease. Without saying anything to the public about j it, agents of the department of health. 'the police depannient and the bureau of licenses inspected everyplace of entertainment in New York City, and dozens of houses of the sort I have described were cloned with- S out any public statement being made. i "My purpose in doing it all in this way, withou' ! issuing general closing orders and making a public ; flurry over the situation, was to keep down the danger of panic," Dr. Copeland went on to explain. "I felt ' that one of my prime duties was to keep this city from j Koing mad on the subject of influenza. My aim was to j prevent panic, hysteria, mental disturbance, and thus j to protect the public from the condition cf mind that t in itse'f predispose? to physical il's. I attempted to i

'maintain the morale of New York City. I wanted peo-j

pie to be able to go about their business without con- j stant fear and hysterical sense of calamity. Of course the necessary warnings were issued against crowds, etc. j and the necessary things were done. J ".VI along, my greatest anxiety was over the mat- ; ter of transportation. After all, there is not. much ! danger from theaters and churches; people who are' sick do not go much to the theater or to church. But sick people do go to work. "I have no doubt that the most dangerous means'

UNREST AND THE HOME. Everybody sucrees that the home is the foundation

as r matter of course, commonplace, and without any considerable depth of convittion. The home i not being taken seriously enough, and has ri'.t been f-.r .-otne time. The bouie. and its significance, o-'cuvue-? too small a place in the mass mind. Mu h is done ;o create and maintain various systems and institutions, but cotnpa-.it ively little is done ;o improve the home, to encourage home building and better home conditions. A home is more important than any substitute that ever was. or that ever can be devised. It can not exist without a house, bur it consists of far more than a bouse. 1: is a miniature of civilisation, but it is also t e saij rce. TV b a t we fee, what we 'hink. what we aspire to attain, comes to us largely through and from the house or through and t mra the lack of it. Free love ilnds a natural origin, and a plausible excuse iu broken down, disrupted homes. Much of the undigested radicalism from which we are suffering is traceable to children's resentment at neglect, repression or bruta!it in poorly ordered homes. Kvprything that comes to the nlastie, unformed mind vja the home atmosphere, whether for good or evil, is ultimately transmitted to society and becomes a pan 'f our political, economic and moral problems. So long as the vast majority of homes are dominate; by a spirit of co-operation, patience and helpful-re.-, society has little to fear, but whenever even so much, as p considerable, minority fall uuder the influ-eni-o of antagonism .indifference and discord, social and c' Mtical conditions will soon be disturbed. The home i humanity's basic institution. It, came in wjth the race. Hn, jt will last as lone as the race. We c.-m change laws and religion, we can transpose governments and adter industrial conditions, but we can noi do an thing, even survive, without the home.

The movements of b -.story, the rise and fall of

various civ ilizaticcs. are mainly consonant with the 'are o. and atti'nde toward, homes. Not toward bouses, exactly, but toward the family, the marriage re-!-t:oLp. the reai in g of children, the responsibilities of parents, etc. Practically every retrogression in human history Ins been proceeded by a substitution of other institutij;,T,. systems and activities frrsthose of the home i he incjease of tenantry, for instance, the induction of ' the development of large propertyless classes, the making of many families dependent on other re-i-o-;-f(s than their own, the destruction of that feeling of a i rn;ivt!ii;itv which goes with' proprietorship. The home spirit can be maintained for soni time ur.der n svstem of rentals, but not. for very long, unless

of transmitting disease was the subway. Undoubtedly j there were many cases of influenza in the cars, and , these infect ed others. Many a man who was sick must j have felt that he bad to go to work, and must have ! taken his disease into the subway and spread it to other j people without realizing what he was dcing."

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ARMY. "When BUI was in the army I always knew where be was and didn't w-orry about him. but now that, be

is d scharged I can't keep track of him at all. Come ;

and get him for your old armv again." So wrote a Dauphin county wife to Colonel Kemper, the recruiting officer at Harrisburg. A recruit's a recruit and recruiting is the colonel's busicesa, but he just couldn't find a place for Bill in the new, democratic, peace-time army. It isn't that kind of an army these days. So. Wlliam Henry Harris, the most interested party, who wasn't consulted at all by either wife or rercuitinc officer, wlil have to remain on the inactive list of the Husbands' Reserve Corps.

February 8th to 14th We Must Raise $8,000 for the Next Year

Proclamation The Boy Scouts of America is just now completing the first decade of its noteworthy history as an organization devoted to the welfare of boys and the making of good citizens. It behooves us, both as individuals and as a community, to aid, encourage and support by every means within our power an organization which has such a splendid record of progress , and service as the Boy Scouts of Amreica has to show for the ten years of its existence. It is fitting that we at this time give due recognition to this great organization. I, therefore, Daniel Brown, Mayor of Hammond, do hereby recommend the period marking the Tenth Anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout movement, Feb. 8th to 1 4th, be observed in this city as "Good Turn Week," and I strongly urge that every man, woman and child in the community, for that period at least, adopt the Boy Scout habit of doing a good turn to someone each day. I urge you to support the $8,000 Campaign now being waged for the support of the Boy Scout movement the coming year. Please be as liberal in your donations as your purse will allow. (Signed) DANIEL BROWN, Mayor.

This space contributed by the City Council of Hammond through the Mayor, Daniel Brown, for the benefit of the Scout movement.
