Autos Are Needed.
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS ATTK1V
TION!
Automobiles and their drivers
are needed at once for the trans
poration of nurses who are mak
ing calls upon people suffering
from influenza. These calls are
upon the people who cannot af
ford nursing service. If you can
spare your car and driver for a
few hours each day, register at
1015 Spalding building or call the
Consolidated Health Bureau.

Portland's influenza epidemic, or at
least the second wave, is apparently
well checked, according to health offi
cials. Only 169 new cases were re
ported to the city health bureau for
the 48 hours ending last night. This is
the lowest 48-hour period report that
has been received for more than a
month.
Thirty-three deaths from influenza
were also recorded, an exceedingly high
report. Many of these deaths occurred
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week, and, according to physicians,
are losses which must be charged to
the eecond wave of the epidemic.
Crest of Epidemic Passed.
The unusually low record of new
cases may be due partially to failure
of physicians to report new cases, but
in view of the eplendid record attained
in this regard by the physicians during
the past two weeks, such a view Is not
likely.
Dr. Sommer, director-general of the
body which is directing the fight
against the disease, stated yesterday
that the crest of the epidemic was
passed. Proper precautionary meas
ures, he stated, would bring the num
ber of new cases down to a minimum.
Twenty-three nurses from Camp
I-ewis arrived in Portland last night
and will be assigned to duty by Dr.
Sommer today. Some of the nurses,
secured through an appeal to Surgeon
General Blue in Washington, will be
sent to the private hospitals, others
will be assigned to work in the Mult
nomah County Hospital, which is now
being used exclusively for the care of
influenza patients, and others will be
Rivento the Visiting Nurses' Associa
tion to aid in its work of caring for
indigent persons suffering from in
fluenza. Appeal Made for Automobiles.
An appeal for the donation of auto
mobiles to aid the Visiting Nurse
Association in its work of making calls
has been made by Dr. Sommer.
"The Visiting Nurses are doing a
splendid work," said Dr. Sommer. "They
are now forced to ride on streetcars,
but if automobiles were furnished they
could increase their work, which is
solely caring for the people who can
not secure or pay for nursing care.
Automobile owners who can spare their
cars and drivers for a few hours each
day have an opportunity of doing much
good work in connection with the anti
influenza campaign."
The barracks erected on the Mult
nomah County Hospital grounds are
ready for use. Influenza patients are
being cared for at the hospital, but if
it should be filled the adjacent barracks
will be utilized. ,
