Whllo the ordinance, as tentative

It nlBO provides for Inspection of pro

Mr. Dunbar Mated to tho city coun

action. i ,
Cases of Influenza that have devel

type, and occasion no especial alarm.
Tho state board of health is urging,
however, that quarantine) measures
bo used In preference to all-others to
stamp nut tho disease and it is Im
possible to satisfactorily quarantine
a public lodging house, which makes
tho need for a power place for Isola
tion imperative.
Dr. David N. Rohcrg, president of
tho state board of health, declares
that rigid quarantine of all Influen
za cases Is the most practical method
for combatting disease. If quarantine

of tho students of tho local hitch

ed tho old O. A. U. W. Hall, ov?r the

announces that It Is ready to open it
as a center tor student social activi

hall open for student affairs and soc
ial entertainment two evenings cf
each week, Tuesday and Saturday,
under the supervision of a committee
from the Parent-Teacher's associa
tion. Later, perhaps another evening
will be added each week.
During the afternoons, after, It has
also been arranged to use the large
hall for basket ball practice under di
rection of Coach Moore of the high
school. It wU be open for this pur
pose every week day, but at present

ings named for social purposes
A small adjoining room will be fitt
ed up with a pool table and will be
available for students' use every day.
Tables for other games and equip
ment to make tho room comfortable
and attractive will be installed.
The expense connected with the ar
rangements will not be heavy but it
must be met by the parents of the
