FRIDAY, PNEUMONIA BOOSTS DISTRICT DEATH RATE by pneumonia since January 1 will cause Washington's death rate to as- cend this year, Health Officer Fowler predicted today. The health officer had hoped the wave of grip and colds would subside with the passing of January, but deaths from pneumonia have not fall- en off during the past two weeks, it was learned today. Officials of the health office belleve many of the pneumonia deaths result- ed from heavy colds or attacks of grip. It was learned today that one prom. inent local surgeon is postponing operations in all cases where it is possible, because of the prevalence of sickness. From January 1 to February 13 phy- sicians reported 274 deaths from pneu- monia. During January and Febru- ary last year a total of only 136 pneu- monia victims were listed, and that figure represents a period fifteen days longer than the present record of 27 During January of this year pneu- monfa deaths numbered 179.

The enforcement of the prohibition law in the District of Columbla was criticized in the Senate yesterday by Senator Dial of South Carolina. Senator Dial said ‘that since Jan- uary 1 some 200 arrests have been made here for violation of the pro- hibition law. Only a few of these cases have been tried each week. The offenders give bonds, he sald, and before the trials come on witnesses disperse, and it is difficult to handle cases. ms’mwr Dial said that there was need of an additional Police Court judge in the District. He said that while he was in favor of economy, In his opinion 1t was false economy not to provide an- other judge, and he hoped that the Dis- twiict committee would give the matter prompt attention. e e Tl , Sir_James Barrie is in 8 temper he puts on his ‘wrong may pound.
