During 1920, a total of 500 cases wero reported in this city with the death toll comparatively small. The most Important step taken in the war on the disease was the move in several states in making sleeping sickness reportable. This has been done In Massachusetts and New York. In New York several health officials admit they are up against a bafling Varlods versions as to the source 1| ravages of the disease have been ed.

Flexner, in a clinical paper recently traced the origin of the disease In this country to 1918- 19. He continued: “Tt is possible to trace cases of lethargic or epidemic encephalitis now arising in this country to an out- break which occurred in Vienna and neighboring parts of Austria in the winter of 1916 C occurred in England and France the early months of 1918 and America in following year Austria the cases were to sausage in E botulism This er- the r of York a sec- pre- i eity, from congested Dr. Simon ases in in In scribed sland to varfous foods. not remarkable Both coun- vere laboring under an un- precedented condition of food short- e “Ultimately notion of food able, and the the early polsoning, ror tries is in both countries the origin became unten- dises was recogniz- arising Independontly of dict and other usual conditions of life, and came to be viewed as probably of microblc origin and of communicable nature .“The outstanding feature is the leth- argy, which s progressing in char- acter andl present in the majority of cases (80 per cent?).

However, the signs were not in evi- dence when the meeting opened. Mr. Simons further objected to a decision of the chief that police pro- tection at the theater was advisable. He informed the chief that he would police the theater and that undesirables, includ- ing members of the police department were kept out. Chief Rawlings ap- parently was not assured that order would be maintained so he led sev- eral squads of patrolmen to the theater where they remained throughout the meeting. Would Cut Police Force. Discussing the policing this morn- ing, Mr. Simons said that there were 24 policemen on hand, and since it was possible to spare that many cops from their regular work, it was very apparent thit New Rritain was paying far more than WoiS nec- essary for protection. In considera- ton of that fact, he said, the next move of the association would be to cut down the number on the police force. thea so Injunction Served. Formal notice was served on City Clerk A. L.
