PARISIANS POKE FUN AT FRIGHT OF LONDONERS Zeppelin Warnings of Scotland Yard So Contradictory That Frenchmen Laugh at Notices of Detectives. ' LONDON, July 21. PariBlans who have had ample -warning each time a Zeppelin hag crossed 'the frontier ... en route for Paris, are highly amused at .the statement issued some time ago by Scotland Yards telling Londoners how to behave during a Zeppelin bombardment of this city. ' ' First of all we are told that in all probability the first warning we should have of the arrival of our German aerial visitors would be the firing of the anti-aircraft cannon and the explosion of falling German bombs. Our brave coast guards know that the night was made for sleep: If, therefore, one of these calm suhTmer nights we are awakened from our slumbers by a bomb being dropped on our heads, we shall be justifieI in saying: "There is no doubt the Zeppelins are here." We must eay this "sotto voce", Tor to make it known ...to anlbody that Zeppelins have bombardpd London . ahead of the official announcement of the fact is high treason. We are furthermore informed by the same paternal chief of Scotland Yard , that it is advisable to provide yourself with a respirator, but that it is impossible to tell what kind of resporator you should use until you have found out the exact nature of the poisonous gas poured down upon you from the Zeppelin. If, therefore, you notice a peculiar unpleasant smell in your bedroom, which irritates your throat and which is likely to be dangerous if not fatal to your life, all you have to do Is to take a sample of the atmosphere, keep it until the following morning, have t analyzed by a chemist and ask him what kind of respirator he would recommend in this particular case. Should you happen to be suffocated before morning you will- of course, be saved considerable trouble.

HINDOOS IN PARIS FRIGHTEN FRENCH MONKS IN PRAYER LONDON, July 21. An English soldier tells the following story of the Hindoo troops. The scene was in a monastery near the Belgian front. Part of the building was used as a first line hospital. A number of slightly wounded Indians were taken to the hospital late at night. 'After their wounds had been attended to the men were ordered to bed by the surgeon-major. The monks were attending "a service in the chapel. They had left their cells open. The Hindoos, entering the cells, sa,w the iron beds, and believing they were intended for them, lay down and slept. When the service in the chapel came to an end the monks returned to their cells. - On seeing the black figures in their beds they gave a start. The noise woke up the Indian soldiers, who took the .whiterobed monks for ghosts and began to utter howls of terror. .. The monks were not less afraid. They did not know who the intruders were, and, filled with terror, escaped along the corridors shouting "Demons! Demons!" But an explanation was forthcoming. The monks were not only satisfied, but delighted, and a quarter of an hour later a ghost watched at the bed of each demon. TWO OSTRICHES TAKE . TURNS AT HATCHING SPOKANE. Wash... July 21 According to Superintendent of Parks John W. Duncan, the male ostrich in the Manito park zoo is sharing with his mate the labor of hatching seven ostrich eggs, on which the hen ostrich began to sit a lev: days ago. The male ostrich sits on the eggs in the daytime and the hen ostrich takes up the work at night. Besides her duties in mothering the eggs for one shift in-every twenty-four, the hen ostrich still adds to the size of the sitting by laying another egg occasionally.

. Sketches from Life!

"Catching" Tuberculosis, or Infection -I . ' ' ' jj

To the man who works for his living, falling sick with tuberculosis means a very real danger not only to his own life but to the lives of his wife and children as well. His wealthier neighbor may lay aside his routine cares and "take the cure" for tuberculosis without materially affecting his family's health or income. The consumptive workingman, on the other hand, must give ui his job and with it Bis only income, and at the same time he is frequenly compelled to remain at home, a constant source of danger to his family, unless he is properly instructed. It may save you who read this article considerable money and suffering if you learn from it how to avoid the entrance of tuberculosis into your body. t Tuberculosis fs infectious and communicable from one person to another. It differs in some respects from scarlet fever, measles, or smallpox, so-called "contagious" diseases, in that tuberculosis requires repeated exposures and certain special conditions to pass the germs from the sick to the well. It is not inherited, but must be communicated through one of the following sources from one person to another: (1) The infection is derived in the very large majority of cases from the sputum discharged from "open" or ulcerating tubercles in the lungs. (2) . A certain number of persons, chiefly infants, estimated variously from one to ten per cent of all cases, receive the infection from the milk of tuberculous cows. (3) A very few others may possibly obtain the infection from the urine and fecal discharges of consumptives or from the pus joints or other parts of the body which are the seat of ulcerating tuberculosis. (1) In a few extremely rare instances the infection is conveyed through the blood of the mother to an unborn child, but the offspring seldom survive long. ' (5) No infection can be conveyed from tuberculosis of the "closed" or non-ulcerated variety, or after ulcerations are completely healed. With regard to the manner of infection, still bearing in mind that tuberculosis must be communicated from one person to another, we find that by far the most frequent mode of infection is by inhalation; the second is by swallowing, and the least common, by inoculation of a wound or abrasion. Considering each of these modes of infection a little more carefully, we learn that: (1) The bacilli are inhaled most often in dust. The dust is most often contaminated by careless spitting; but the germs may also be given out in the act of coughing (with the mouth unprotected) or ' hawking, sneezing, loud talking, singing or laughing. Quiet breathing carries no infection. (2) The bacilli may be swallowed with food which has been contaminated with infected hands or otherwise, and also with the milk, butter and other dairy products derived from cows suffering from bovine tuberculosis. (3) Inoculation by the infection of cuts, scratches, or abrasions is not frequently observed. , While no age, race, or class is Immune against jnfection from tuberculosis, children are more susceptible than anyone else. At the age of 15, frequently as high as 75 per cent, of the populationvmay show the presence of the germs, though not that many may be sick with tuberculosis. In view, however, of the fact that these germs may lay quiet in the body of the child for year, until with unfavorable surroundings his resistance is lowered, causing the disease to develop, it is extremely important that fathers and mothers do everything possible to- keep their children away from danger of infection in their earlier years. ( Everything should te done at home to keep the child rugged and health. The father and mother, whether they have tuberculosis or not, should be scrupulously careful in their habits of spitting and person hygiene. The working father owes it not only to his own health, but to that of his children to avoid tuberculosis in every possible way. (NOTE This is the Second of a Series of Five Articles Prepared by Tht National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, New York City.) .. '
