Chicago, 111. Dm. lft— Lack at
agreefnent on method* of meeting the
»o-called influenxa epidemic and lack
of knowledge of the maladv iteelf con
tinued to be prominently noticeable
right up to the vary conclusion of the
four-day convention of public health
official* of the United fttatae and
Canada which ended here on Thurs
day. The_ influenza hae been the
great overshadowing problem of thia
gathering of the American Public
Health Association.
Arriving at a derieion by a vote wan
generally avoided by the health offi
cial*. but in a round-table conference
they did raat an informal ballot on the
question of cloaing the ochool*. The
question a* put wai thia:
~m me nig cute*. providing Were is
good medical inspection. would you
rloee the schools in an influenza epi
demic?" On the showing o>f hand*
only a few went up for cloeing, while
a great many went up against the
proposition. The health officer* pres
ent were plainly against closing in
such canes. Then the chairman put
the question of closing the schools in
Mg cities where the medical inspec
tion was not considered good. He de
clared the vote "seemed to be about
even." Finally the question of dosing
the rural schools was voted on. Here
again the chairman announced it was.
"an offset also." The chairman of tiua
of Minneapolis, presides* of t)M Ml
nesota State Public Health Depart
ment. expressed his own views of the
situation in the following language:
"The consensus of opinion I have
met with here and elsewhere is that
the advisability of closing the schools
for the influenza does not exist."
The question box brought out many
comments and remarks on methods of
handling the influenza. The gather
ing dismissed the question of the use
of alcoholic liquors on the ground
that it related to treatment instead of
prevention, and so was beyond the
scope of the association. The chair,
however, observed, prior to the rais
ing of this point, that the general im
pression was that alcohol was bad at
any time in influenza treatment.
Relative to the use of the face mask
a doctor from the Cook County (Chi
cago) Hospital declared that it seemed
to him that the medical faculty had
lost all control of its reason. "If this I
influenza organism is so small," he ,
said, "as some claim it is, that you
cannot see it with a microscope. I can
not see why it cannot go through any
mask. It would be like expecting the
bars in the jail window* to keep out
the flies." ^
The physician went on to say that
every one in the county hospital was
masked at the beginning, not because j
they particularly regarded masking as ,
good, but to "avoid the possible I
charge of gross ignorance." "They
were all masked so heavily they look
ed like mummies," he said, adding'
that 16 nurses and attendants bad the,
influenza and then they discarded |
their masks and had none of it. "I j
think this matter of the face mask I
has been very much overdone," said
the doctor.
I
In the morning session a vigorous I
protest against the use of tho face
masks was made by Dr. James W.
Inches, health commissioner fo De
troit, Michigan. He said they were
"pure fakes" as a means of halting j
influenza and declared that the closing i
of motion picture theatres, churches.:
etc., had not proved to be of benefit. I
Certainly you have a right to your i
opinion, hut don't forget the other!
fellow also has the same right.

• -— - a »».- - JJ * -a
two leader*, head* of the American
and French Governments, respectively
cannot fail to remark that the bar
den on each mind wa» that which con
cerned til* establishment of a peace
that would sire protaciton from the
diatresaoa of future war*. President
Poincaire intimated to the Preaident
that he would have abundant oppor
tunity to secure visible evidence of the
havoc of the war waged by the German
government that would inspire to the
full pnuhment of German guilt, the
the other hand, gave assurances that
he would look on the ruin wrought by
the armies of the Central Power*
"with the same repulsion and deep in
dignation that they stir in the hearts
of the man of France and Belgium,"
and that he is appreciative "of the
neceesity of such action in the final
settlement of the issues of the war as
will not only rebuke such acta of ter
ror and spoliation," but action that
will make men everywhere know that
"they cannot be ventured upon without
the certainty of just punishment."
As if that were not a sufficiently ex
pressed declaration of his views on
the nature of the penalties to be exact
ed of Germany and the nature of the
peace which shall be established, the
President further illustrated the senti
ment of America to the effect that the
winning of the war is not in itself the
sum total of the accomplishment. It
is the rettlement of the war that is
the importaat thing. It must be set
tled in a way to Insure the future
peace of the world and lay the foun
dations for the freedom and happiness
of its many peoples and Nations.
American critics of the President
surely must have been silenced in
contemplation of the presidential re
ception in France and over the glori
fication of the papers of Great Bri
tain in the arrival of the American
Chief Executive, all this in connection
with the constantly developing truth
that the American President and the
chiefs of the Allied Nations are yet,
at they have ever been, in full accord
on the two propositions of punishing
Germany and establishing a peace that
will endure. The confidence of the
Allied world in the President has been
established beyond puection and the
happiness of the European Govern
ments—even their relief—at his per
sonal participation, it of sufficient
demonstration to make the people of
the United States rejoice. The Amer-1
ican who reads the inspiring details j
of the Preaident'* reception in France |
and who I* not thrilled with a greater
pride in hi* Americanism— In the
greatness of the country in which he
lives and the exalted station its chief
repreaentative has been given in the
councils of Nation*, must indeed be
dead to all sense of love for not only
his country, but for the people among
whum lie live*.—Charlotte Observer. I

AtrpUm manufactoerers of th«
United States ui rapidly getting on
• peace huu. The Curtiss company
will Mil its trar ansa new plant in
Klmwood Artnot, Buffalo, New York,
completed only last year. Prepara-1
tion. to this end sr, alraady under
way.
Curtis* took over the ground far!
this plant, embracing 72 arras, in the
nummer of 1917. Theguildings have I
1,400,000 square faet of working floor |
■pace. If brought op to capacity1
this new plant was capable of taming
££"^±5^21
nevar run over U pier cent of this
<ii*T mainly to goverment delays in
bringing the country's airplane pro-!
gram up to quantity production.
In (act, Cartia* was just swing
ing into big production when the ar
mistice was signed. A few days be
fore the actual signing. >80,000,000
of contracts were given this company
for the army and navy. Since than
all these have been canceled, aad prob
ably 15,000,000 additional.
Total buisness of a government
character now on the books probably
does not aaoun*. to more than $15,
000,000.
Although the Curtiaa company bore
the expense of the building of the new
plant, it has an arrangement with tha
government which prevents possibt
ity of any loss on the venture.
The Churchill Street plant, also in
Buffalo, together with the motor plant
in Hammond:-port. New York, will be
able to handle all of the Curtiss' peace
buisness. It is the expectation of offi
cials that all government buisness
w:ll he completed early in January, j
In the first 10 month* of 1918 Cur
ti«* did a buisnesn of more than $40,
000,000. The full year will probably j
show something over $45,000,000.
Sales in 1917 were under $20,000,000
and in 191fi about $8,000,000.
It is too early to attempt to discuss
sales possibilities of this company un
der a peace program. With a seat
taring of orders from other countries
to help out commercial demands It is
easly conceivable tha company can do
a buisness of $1,500,000 monthly. The
record sale in any month since this
country entered the war ware about
$6,000,000.
With earnings from $46,000,000 of
business this year Curtiss puts itaalf
In a strong financial position . Its
working capital as of Jan. 1 next will
undoubtedly be ample to take car* of
the demands for a company of this
sort during a peace period.

Meiican Oil Field Activities
New York, N. Y.,— Considerable
progress is being made in Mexico by
the Texas Company. A refinery fc
under construction at Port Loboe,
which will be a duplicate of its Taa
pico plant to a largo extent. The
Tasa pico plant began operations Sept.
1, having been in construction for b
year. The first cargo of about 70,009
barrels of Tepetate crude oil from the
company's producing properties ia
the field of that name was loaded Nor.
4. Properties of the Texas Company
in Mexico are operated by the Texas
Company of Mexico, a mexican cor
poration. The company's Tmm pice
works on the 1000-acre tract consist
of in addition to stills and equipment
connected with them, many auxiliary
structures, which make an indepen
dent village. Port Loboe is the tor
minus of the company's 10-inch pipe
line to Tepetate, 21 miles. Much of
the distance is through a dense jungle.
Part of the way the pipe m laid on
the bottom o4 a lake and part of the
way through swamps. The company
has established at Port Loboe, direct
ly behind Loboe Island, facilities for
loading oil tankers anchored in deep
water more than two miles frosn
shore. The task of launching two
8-inch sea-loading lmes was diflcuh,
but was accomplished successfully hi
surprisingly short time. The outer
end of each Ime is suhmeijud in aboat
40 feet of water, and by meene of
flexible boee connections vessels an
chored in proper poeition can be load
ed as readily as if moored to
