Unem- ployment and the dole have cer- tainly not helped to remedy this. Among the signs of the times, nowadays, are the disappearance of household help and the dimi- } nution of nursing personnel. The working week in British hospitals, most of which are pri- vajely subventioned, comprises: in 7 per cent of such institutions, 65 to 69 hours; in 28 per cent, 60 to 64 hours; in 50 per cent, 55 to 59 hours; and in 15 per cent, 50 to 54 hours. from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.. nurses are forbidden to leave the hospital without special permis- sion. Telephoning is not allowed and smoking is taboo, although exceptions are sometimes made. Gentleman callers are out of the question and the nursing pro- fession in general complains of the food in most hospitals. The committee recommends that, in view of these conditions, the wages of nurses should be raised on a sliding scale to between 85 and 80 pounds a year. It remains to be seen whether, unless hospi- tals and medical methods are en- tirely altered, women will be at- tracted by this slight increase in .salary.

The lights on vehicles question was discussed at length, it being pointed out that in the Montreal district all municipalities were being asked to pass a by-law which would provide that all vehicles from outside points should have lights, if they wished to use the highways of the muni- cipalities in question. The meeting was also inform- ed that the Sherbrooke Board of Trade had a resolution approving of lights on all vehicles, and that the City Council had a by-law compelling this which, however, was not in force. It was unanimously decided that the request to have the Mo- tor Vehicles Act amended so as to provide for lights on all vehi- cles after sundown should be sub- mited to the Provincial Legisla- ture, Standard heights for bumpers on all machines was urged, with a view to reducing accidents and damage.

' SCIENTISTS MAKE RESEARCH INTO FLL" EPIDEWICS Seek to Find Causes for Recurrence Every Seven Years Berlin.--Leading German sel- antists have recently made a thorough-going research of the 1lmost regular seven-years' per- lodicity of influenza ft its most drastic form. Obviously, there are every winter any number of ~ases of grippe, but those devas- tating epidemics which carry off thousands, have hitherto shown a remarkable regularity in their recurrence every seven years, or in periods of years divisible by seven. Science is therefore now pro- foundly concerned with the vital question: What are the causes of the appearance or absence, Lhe mortal or harmless nature of in- fluenza? Climate is the most important of the external factors: cold, dry winters are much less favorable for the incubating of grippe germs than damp, mild winters. The sun's rays are also of the greatest importance, for it is a well-known fact that sunlight annihilates germs. Recent statis- tics of the Berlin Department of Health have demonstrated that the daily number of influenza rages is in inverse ratio to the hours of sunshine. Now-a-days scientists in gener- al are of the opinion that sun- spots, inasmuch ag they induce certain disturbances in the elec- trical state of the atmosphere, exercise a distinct influence on climate. , Alongside these factors, there are indybitably a number of sig- nificant internal causes inherent in the nature of the germs them- selves. It appears that, with re. gard to their length of life and powers of resistance, influenza bacteria are subject to a period- fcal active rhythmic return every seven years. Their itensified vit- ality is expressed in infinite num- bers, enormously rapid multipli- cation and particular deadliness. The fact that influenza epide- mics do not necessarily recur every seven years is to He laid to the peculiar nature of all the other super-inducing factors. For Instance, should a horde of par- ticularly tenacious bacteria at- tack a community of fairly heal- thy people with sound powers of resistance, especially those more or less immune through having overcome earlier attacks of grippe, and should all this take place in a cold, dry winter, with plenty of sun, the epidemic wil] soon be stamped out, Conditions, however, may be quits otherwise. The winter of 1918-19, during which a terrible influenza epidemic carrjed off thousands of young people, will not soon be forgotten. The youth of that day had never before suf- fered any severe attgcks of grippe and their constitutions were almost entirely lacking in the necessary anti-toxins. The seven-year rhythm is an age-old law of Nature to be ob- served not only indthe realm of bacteria but in the other 1ife- rocesses in the animal and plant ingdoms, The seven-years' lo- custs and the seven-years' inten- sified breeding of various tree parasites will instantly come to mind. Science today considers it of primary importance in the treat. ment of disease and the campaign against epidemics that we should: learn to understand these laws. Meanwhile, we have penetrated only the barest outskirts of these mysteries of Nature. But with man's increasing knowledge of natural forces, the eventual ex- termination of disease may no longer be a too-far distant possi.

RODIN PROPOSED FOR PANTHEON Wished to be Buried in Meudon Next to ¥ Wife or" The years have passed and Ep. stein has been kicking up such a row with his pachyderm sculpture ift London that people have already forgotten the good old days, when Rodin was having such a struggle for recognition, Even after he was dead, the rumpus continued. The self-appointed French arbiters of things artistic refused to accord iim a place among the immortals and did their best to prevent his works from being exposed in the Musee Rodin in Paris. din was the culimnation of an epoch, of the sensuous love of form for form's sake, rather out of date today since Mourdelle and Mostro- vitch have showered their werks upon the world, And the sweetness and clarte of the Rodin mission have practically lost their signifi cance since the magnificent and gi- gantic conceptions of Gustimus Am- brosi, the deaf-and-dumb scultpor of Viena, avowed apostle of Mi- chel-angelo Nevertheless, there is no denying that the day of controversy about Rodin h passed and his place among the immortals is assured. His life and work, like that of An- atolo France, remain a symbolic, if not monumental, aesthetic of the Gallis temperament, It is therefore not surprising to learn that the poviers that be in France, some of those who most bitterly opposed Rodin. during his life-time, should now be bonding all his efforts to- wards securing the transference of his remains to the Pantheon in Paris. > This fact is the more remarkable inasmuch as, among all the great nten of France whose names and tombs are enshrined in the Panth- eon, there 1s not a single sculptor, On the other hand it 'ig rightly con sidered that if any body ever de. served to be enshri.ed in that Hall of Fame, it was Rodin." As a sculp- tor, indeed, he embodied in his ut- terance, if not always in the work of his hands, all that was best and most durable. As Rodin was almost more of a philosopher than a car. ver in stone, As usual, the subject of Rodin has raised another storm in the teacup of French aesthetic circles, and passions and indignations are runs ning high. M. George, Curator of the Paris Rodin and administrator of Rodin's artistic remains, has de- clared himself on this subject as follows : "On Nov. 17, the birthday of the incomparable Master, I visited his grave in Moudon, He lies there in that corner of earth he loved so dearly. His body rests near the museum in which his works are pre- served, some of which will be dise played in a memorial exhibition in Paris next year. It was his ex- press desirc and last request to be buried here beside his wife, "As long as I Lve I shall defend Rodin's last will and testament, and I shall defend Rodin's last will and testament,and I shall certainly do everything in my power to prevent his bones being transferred to the Pantheon. It'is true that all the famous men of France are buried there, but Rodin had only one wish; to be buried in God's out-of-dours and not in a musty tomb. His last expressed desire must weigh above every other consideration." It is an old story that a prophet is not without honor when he is dead. And there is a certain class of relizious thinkers today who claiia that th- reason for this is that great souls, disembodied, envelop and influence thie mind of the race. So that people all over the world begin to wake up to the mission of those to whom they were deaf while they lived. However, that may be, certainly there are very few among the dead who may count upon such Icyal and inalterable championship as that of M.

The marvellous Mussolini regime has reawakened the national con- sciousness, and the reawakening of the national consciousness has brought to light many statistics of vital interest to the life of the new Italy, Thus it affords real pleasure to hear, now that the race of Amer- ican millionaires is dying out and archeological expeditions are be- ing fitted out to find the haunts and habitat of the once wealthy, at Italy has trained a brizht ittle crop of 15,000 millionaires.

However, there is consolation when we think that the difficul- ties of attaining to italian mil- lionairedom are not insurmount- able. A million lire are not quite 50,000 dollars. One of the wealth- jest Italian multi-millionaires is Senator Agnelli who has the mod- est income of 1500 million lire, that 4s, about 75,000,000 dollars, Othet Italian multi-millionaires® are @enators Borletti and Crespi. King Victor Emmanuel III, who has one of the finest nunismatic collections in the world, is also known as a very wealthy man, though statistics of the extent of hig fortune are not available. Significantly enough, Mussolini, the man who made the Italy which made the millionaires, is not named on the list, Whether he actually owns a million or, like the dous ex machina he 1s, doesn't care to be named among the mere mortals with millions, remains a moot point. However, he can rest content in the satis- faction that, whereas there are at least 15,000 millionaires in Italy today, if he himself had not suf- fered a change of heart from so- cialism and received the revela- tion of Fascism, Italy would prob- ably be a soviet wilderness today. And all her millions would have been invested in super-dimension- al mechanical plant for which no one has any use.
