The Permanent Christmas Tree.
From The Salisbury Post.
The cedar tree planted in the
park on West Innes street is in
tended to live and in that splendid
location may be used annually as
a community Christmas tree. The
local Garden club wishes that trees
might be planted on home lots for
the same purpose, and thus serve to
save cutting the tree at Christmas
time each year. A suitable tree
might be planted on every home lot
and in good weather used for the
Christmas display. Doing this will
at least start some more trees to
growing and that will help, or every
tree started to grow takes the place
of at least one of those we are
slaughtering daily.

Service.
EPIDEMIC OF FLU
CISli CONCERN
Surgeon General Cummins Forms '
Board of Strategy; Deaths
. Increasing.
Washington, Dec, 12.—Surgeon
General Cumming today called to
gether a "board of strategy on in
fluenza” to consider reports of the
bureau of census showing ah in
crease in the influenza death rate,
and to make recommendations on
steps which might be taken to
curb the spread of the disease.
The board is composed of three j
veteran bacteriologists of the pub-!
lie health service—Dr. C. W, Me-1
Coy, chief of the hygienic labora- ]
tory; Dr. W. H, Frost, officer of the |
service, also connected with thq>
Johns Hopkins school of hygiene,
and Dr. J. P. Leake, public health
officer, who has had extensive ex
perience both in experimentation
and actual fighting of epidemics.
The surgeon-general said his
board of strategy would outline a
program which would be made pub
lic later. The board was in con
ference several hours, but its de
liberations were not disclosed. They
will issue a formal statement to
morrow.
Hard To Predict.
Public health officials said late
today that the probable course of
the influenza outbreak was “hard
to prophesy,” and that the serious
ness of the spread will depend
largely on the death rate.
Telegraphic reports to the bu
reau of census, the public health
service announced, showed 189
deaths from influenza during the
week ending December 8, compar
ed with 43 deaths in the same
cities during the week ending Nov
ember 3, and while the disease now
spreading still appears to be in
milder form than that of the 1918
epidemic, the death rate has been
steadily increasing.
Officials said this increase may
be partly responsible 4or a rise in
the death rate of the country,
which was 13.3 pe r 100,000 popula
tion for the week, compared with
11.9 for the corresponding week of
1927; but this relationship could
not be established absolutely.
Sanity Test,
Stanton, Mich., Dec. 12.—A sanity

Carter, Sheridan school teacher, was
ordered today by Probate Judge
William E. Rasmussen. If found
sane, the boy faces the probability
of life imprisonment.
