people are quietly seated, such as
churches, lectures and rnotfun picture
shows, .which class, in his opinion, it
was not at this time necessary to pro
hibit, although since the previous ban
was lifted he had prohibited picture
houses and churches from allowing
people to stand in the aisles or lob
bies. The doctor alsu pointed out the
menace of the failure on the part of
numerous homes and families to re
port cases where mi physician was
called. Considerable discussion fol
lowed the doctor's talk, President Mc
Kennon of the commission being rad
ically'opposed to any attempted regu
lation of the stores, a a class by
themselves. An occasional expression
of" opinion in favor of the immediate
closing of picture houses was voiced,
but the largo majority of those pres
ent were plainly opposed. Several
speeches were made urging quarantin
ing of the "flu" and not of business.
Strong approval followed these. Kin-
