It was pointed | out, however, lar, as shown by statistical curves, to| the great epidemic of 1916. This also | started in Brooklyn, spread through New York and New England, and had afflicted approximately - 9,000 persons before it disappeared in November. It was pointed out, previous outbreaks | greater | would radiates from a nucleur, the number | of cases varying with the distance from the center and the density of population | in a community, children almost exclusively, but in rural | districts the number of adult victims is | considerably larger. This is probably due, it was explained at the National Institute of Health. to the fact that very few persons more than 15 years old who have lived in the close contact of a ecity erfvironment have not had the disease in a mild form and thus ac- quired a degree of immunity. First and Fifth Years Worst. At the time it may have shown no symptoms at all or have passed off as a light cold. Only on rare occasions does it seem to assume the very viru- lent form which has about a 20 per cent mortality rate and leaves the vic- tims that it does not kill more or less permanently crippled. Its greatest toll is taken between the first and fifth years. Children more than 15 are in little danger. : Public Health officials are loath to make predictions. The only basis for prediction is the intensively studied 1916 epidemic, which started a month earlier than the present outbreak. This epidemic, according to the Public Health Service study made at the time, spread like a wave, “the crest passing from within outward, requiring approx- imately 35 days to travel from the orig- inal focus to the outer zone of the city and diminishing in amplitude with its progress.” From the focus the epidemic spread through New England and into Canada. Southward it spread into New Jersey along the lines of heavy New York traffic. The spread southward was less marked than that to the North prob- ably because fewer persons are coming ! South in the Summer and those fami- lies which left New York after con- tacting the disease naturally went ‘The means of dispersion, it was explained at the Hyglenic laboratory. seems to be by personal contact, although so little is known about it that this statement cannot be made positive. But it spreads most rapidly where there is the great- est opportunity for contact, and there is & considerable body of evidence that it is not spread by contaminated water or by insects. Progress Difficult. For years medical science has concen- trated on the disease with compars tively little progress. It is known, ho ever, that the agent of the disease is one of the filterable viruses showing similar properties, in some respects, to the viruses of measles and of smallpox but with an affinity for the motor parts of the central nervous system. Unlike the nervous system diseases with which it is often classed, meningitis and en- cephalitis, it does not attack the mind. It will pass through the smallest filter and is very resistant to such conditions as cold. Considerable progress has been made by treating the disease with convales- cent serum, although the value of this has not yet been thoroughly demon- strated. ‘It is not administered as a preventive measure. In this respect, it was pointed out, the | blood of an urban adult seems to pro- vide about as good a serum as that| of an actual convalescent, showing ih:‘“ same reaction in the test tube. Thi observation may be of considerabi> value since the average convalescent is a weak child who can 11l afford to spare the necessary blood, while almost any quantity can_ b: obtained from the ation at large. ilroads entering New York, accord- ing to Public Health Servic: officials. are taking a commendable attitude. Not only are medical officers keeping in daily touch with the service, but appro- priate orders have been issued for the immediate reporting of any sickness which_develops on trains. ‘The Pull- man Company it was said, is especially solicitous and has gone to great lengths to safeguard its coaches. Rises in Late Summer. Thus far, the only focus known this vear, is in Brooklyn. The 1916 epidemic had another entirely independent focus in the Northwest and spread t.hral:%h h the situation was not so bad Norteast. This year there appear to be only sporadic cases in other paits of the country, which is no different incidence of the dis- ease which always shows a rise in late Summer. In this respect also the disease differ: from the other contaglous virus ais { eases which are quiescent Juring the warm months when people remain in he open air and have thelr big out- breaks when cold weather returns. Contact appears to be the chief, if not the only way of contracting the dis- ease. It is likely, however, that thix contact can come through a third per- son, it was explained at the hygienic laboratory. Thus an immune adult in contact with a child vietim would not | be stricken himself, but might pass the | disease to another child. When there is an outbreak, it was said, it is best to keep children to themselves as much as_possible. The Public Health Service is watch- ing carefully the reports of local and State health officers for the n around New York to see if the epidemic continues, as it has started, to follow the 1916 curve. This will not be en- tirely clear for some time. Meantime no predictions are being made or warn- ings issyed.

The Manobo tribes, believed to be | representatives of the Filipino type be- fore the prehistoric invasion of the Malays, hitherto have been known to anthropologists only through the oc- casional reports of missionaries. In many respects he is close to the foot of human culture, although some groups have absorbed a great deal from con- tacts with more advanced tribes. He counts, Garvan relates, on his fingers and toes. He hes never had He can count by tens up to 100, which number, Gar- van believes, represents to him infinity. He divides the year only into lunar months and reckons his years by the recurrence of the rice-harvesting sea- son and seldom can count backward more than four or five years. Garvan seldom met a Manobo who had any idea of his age or could judge the age of another. Painting and architecture are unknown, but the native carves rude and fantastic wooden images. But, says Garvan, “the observation of nature is marvelous. He has come to possess marvelous powers of sight and observation. Within his own district the position of every tree is known. Every stream and every part of it, every mountain, every part of the forest is known and has its appropriate name. “The Manobo character has been much maligned by missionaries who seem not to have distinguished between the pagan and the man. Upon first acquaintance the Manobo is timid and suspicious, due to the extreme cautious- ness that teaches him to guard a life that among his own people has only a nominal value. My own visits were frequently preceded by rumors that I had magic power to poison. Suprise must not be expressed at anything that takes place. The mere question as t0 what is beyond such and such a moun- tain or where are the headwaters of such and sych a stream may start the full flame of suspicion. ““They Revenge is a stern. fundamental, eternal law. consecrated by the breath of the dying.

But once aroused | the Manobo will fight to a finish. “Laziness can certainly be predicated of Manobo men, but such qualities are to be attributed to lack of incentive to work. All the household duties fall by | custom uj the women, so there is little left for the man except to fish, trap, hunt, trade and fight. When the men set themselves to clearing the forest it is surprising with what agility, skill and perseverance they work. Hon- esty is certainly a trait of the Manobo character. Payment of debts is one of their most striking characteristics. I have advanced merchandise on credit | to people whom I had never met before and the whereabout of whose houses I knew only from their own information. | Yet six months or a vear later I had no difficulty in locating them and col- |lecting from them. 8o high is their | feeling of obligation to pay & debt that even children sometimes are parted | with in settlement. The Manobo never disowns a debt or runs away to avold payment. “It has been said that the Manobo is ungrateful. He has no word to express thanks, but he expects the giver to make | known his desires and ask for what he | wants. This is the reason why he him- | self ‘is such an inveterate beggar. He |feels at perfect liberty to conceal his real thoughts and give utterance to such | distortions of truth as may not com- | promise him with others.
