By the Associated Press. Winter has replaced Summer as the most dangerous season of the year for the newly-born infant. | steadily since 1925 deaths from the | gastro-intestinal diseases, known in old-fashioned parlance as “Summer complaits,” have been on the de- crease. But the respiratory diseases, colds and their allies, have gone on taking just about the same toll as they did. The fact is revealed in a recent study of the deaths of infants under | 1 year of age between 1921 and 1933 made by the Children’s Bureau. Figures for sample years are as follows: Causes of deaths. Gagtro-intestin Y Yol Respiratory’ di 1103 128 90 The figures show deaths from the | Summer diseases have fallen off al- | most two-thirds in those years. But deaths from the Winter diseases have (fallen just about one-tenth. Intestinal Diseases. The Gastro-intestinal diseages are such stomach disturbances as diar- rhea, enteritis and dysentery. | The respiratory diseases are bron- | chitis, broncho-pneumonia and influ- | efiza. Babies and children are particularly susceptible to colds, Dr. Ella Oppen- hetmer of the Children's Bureau says. Colds remain one of the unsolved problems of medicine, she says, but there are known preventives which mothers can observe to cut down dan- | inimum. ‘erfi'gt,.cno}d infections enter the body through the respiratory tract: the nose, mouth and throat. Ordinarily they are transmitted by sneezing and coughing, both of which are accom- panied by a fine spray which is pro- jected some 4 or 5 feet. Since the spray carrles infection persons with colds, says the doctor, must develop the habit of covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. For such a purpose it is best to use small squares Of gauze or paper ‘hand- kerchiefs which can be burned. Masks Recommended. asks should be worn by the nu?:e“;rmmothzr who must handle small babies while they, themselves, are suffering from a cold. The mask can be made of four layers of cheese- cloth to which pieces of tape are fas- | tened at each end. The tape ties| around the back of the head and | holds the mask over the nose and | mouth while thebwe;rer bathes, feeds or dresses the baby. | Generally speaking, the facts seem | to emphasize the need for more out- 1921. 1928, 1933. | THE EVENING “STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

ROME (#).—To be up to date in the Mussolini family it is necessary to earn your wings, and Count Galeazzo Ciano, the duce’s son-in-law, has just filled that requirement. The 31-year-old undersecretary for the press and propaganda passed his tests after only a short period of training. His instructors said he showed exceptional ability. He now is a licensed pilot, as are Mussolini, the duce's 17-year-old son Oppenheimer says. Colds are preva- lent in the Winter when most people are indoors most of the time, often in over-heated, under-ventilated rooms. | Avoiding crowds is another rule | which should cut down colds in the | family. | Some colds overtake people pre- | sumably because their resistance is low from lack of sleep, under-nourish- ment and too little fresh air and sun- shine. Even the very slight cold must be given due respect, says Dr. Oppen- heimer. A child developing a sneeze | or a cough should be put to bed in & warm, well ventilated room. He then has a better chance of throwing off the infection quickly, and in addition he is prevented from infecting other | children with whom he might play. - EXPENSIVE FOODS | TAXED IN PEIPING Collection Problem in Hands of Highest Bidder—Method Is Undecided. By the Associated Press. PEIPING—The old device of | “farming out” taxes has been revived | by the Peiping municipal goyernment. | Recently the city fathers, in a wave of generosity, abolished taxes on live stock, meat, cereals, cooking oils, fish, cotton and paper, then found they had a hole of $230,000 in the city’s income. A surtax on expensive dishes in res- taurants was decided upon, but how to collect it was the problem until some one suggested that it be sold as a concession to the highest bidder. A Mr. Wang got the prize by agree- ing to turn in at least $130,200 an- nually. Now everybody’s happy except the restaurant owners and Mr. Wang, who had to devise a dodge-proof col- lection system.

J,, February 4—The mysterious germ which killed 10 infant patients in the maternity division of Holy Name Hospital still defied today the efforts of some of the Nations foremost pathologists to classity it. Working with Dr. L. A. Markley of the haspital’s staff are Dr. Willard H. Park and Dr. Leila Knox, New York bacteriologists, but their efforts so far have failed even to reveal whether the germ is of the filterahle or none filterable type. This must be deter- mined, Dr. Markley said, before the work of isolating the germ can begin. The disease, resembling intestinal influenza, attacked 20 of the 40 new- born babies in the obstetrical division two weeks ago. Furniture in Family 200 Years.
