Careful tests with masks have been made under his di rection, which he cites to show that the proper use of masks produces the xesl safeguard against influenza. Jn order to really find out if masks were of value, we held a test, using Ui employees of the Southern Pacific Company in fcan Francisco !n connec tion with the experiment. Five hun dred of these employees were masked under our direction, that Is compelled to mask when entering paces of gath rrir and removing; the mask when lhev reached the street and open air. "Five hundred were allowed to-.co and come unmasked and the other five hundred were permitted to mask as they dcirrd. wearing the masks on the streets or at any place they lelt it necessary. Fraarlar Ordiaaaee Failed. "Tne prevalence of Influenza among the unmasked was II per cent, among lhi.-r who wore masks a they chose J2 per - cent, and among those who wore masks under our direction only 2 per cent. This test was absolute j'fcKif by proper masking the preval ence of the disease could be reduced from 11 per cent to 3 per cent. It. Meyer slated that an attempt to compel masking In San Francisco by ordinance failed, because the statute required masking oil the streets and the people wore the masks only when the police officials wefe around, where as as auickly as the people reached their homes the masks were removed. 'Of what use are masks on the streets? As little as we know about in fluenza, we are sure that the germ Is killed in the fresh air. and that fresh fcir arid space furnish Immunity from tlie disease. It Is whin one comes ' home, sitting around eating dinner, or plalnc cards that precautions should be taken." Latreme care should be taken In the construction of masks, according to ir. Meyer. Masks, he states, should he made with four layers of double cloth r ! layers of ordinary gauze, with ample room for air. Samples of the irw.iks whtrb. he recommends have been ' .ven to tr. Sommer.

The only fun damental thing that U known in con rtlon with the disease Is that it Is a respiratory type of a disease, spread tv secretions from the nose and mouth. You have no idea of how really and truly helpless we are. As an example, take the advice given us by public health men when we asked what should be done if the epidemic struck the west. They said 'organize your hoi jj:iits and undertakers' and that came true. Hospital ipace was the thing tliat we needed, and nurses. It was the lack r-f curses on the Pacific Coast that las caused the large mortality from influenza and pnumonla.
