MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Metdical Association and of Hy- gcia, the Health Magazine During the World War there ap- peared in France in 1916 and in Vienna in 1917 cases of & di e which had been described more than a hundred years ago and which was peculiar in character. In this disease the brain and the central nervous system were attacked, the primary symptoms being disorders of movement and particularly a form of uncon- sclousness which caused the d ease to be called lethargic en- cephalitis. The lethargy or sleepy uncon- | sciousness gave to the disease the ! newspaper name 6f “slceping sick- | ness” and caused gr confusion with that form of sleeping sick- ness which occurs in Africa due to a germ that is transmitted by the tsetse fly. The African disease bears no relationship to lethargic encephalitis. In All Countries The epidemic encephalitic dis- ease spread rapidly over Europe and early in 1919 invaded the United States. It is now appear- ing throughout the world, and it is impossible to predict Its extent or limitations. The cause is thus far not definitely established, al- though bacterjologic studies have indicated its germ origin, Unlike meningitis and infantile paralysis, this disease attacks the brain more than it does the spinal cord. As a result, all sorts of un- usual symptoms appear, Including paralysi: disorders of sensation, double vision, tremors and serious disturbances of mental power and moral character.

She attributes the accept- ance of beige to the fact that most women find it flattering. “I was much impressed,” Mrs. Rorke sald, “at Le Touquet by the costume of French colonial soldiers whom I saw there. This blue, seen also in the pastels of De La Tour, is second to beige in importance. “Greens are third. Greens with yellow undertones are showing great etrength for sport and for evening wear. Soft banana yellows are also good. The deeper regis- ters of belge and brown are re- turning to favor. Wine and straw- berry reds are a distinct trend. “A n:w note is the return of the olive and bronze greens, favored by the romantic school.” The fashion cycle has got around to them again,” Mrs. Rorke said. “Youthful colors lead because the two re- auirements women make today for their clothes are that they be i | youthtul and slenderizing.” AES.U. 8.

Constituation staff, look and write alike. They “cover” asignments to- gether and collaborate in writing the stories Atlanta, July 24, UP—Twin souls with but a single thought. That describes Helen and Olive Parish, twin reporters on the At- lanta Constitution — twins because they were born that way, because they dress that way and because they report that way. Furthermore, when they write a letter which says “I, etc.,” they both sign it. Ben F. Noble, their city editor, wouldn't think of sending the two on separate assignments. He says they're both the same to him. The girls write their atory to- gether. Helen tells Olive what she thinks and if Olive doesn’t like it, and often she doesn't, she tells Helen the correct way of saying it, and vice versa. The net resuit is & compromise story, signed by both and published under their names—and they have a lot of luck getting bylines, Helen, or was it Olive-— anyway, one of them recalled their first newspaper story. They were at- tending Oglethorpe university at that time and jointly wrote a story which found its way to the city desk of a large daily. A man turned it in for them — and landed a job for writing it. Since that eventful day a year and a half ago, the twins have be- come fully initiated into the news- paper fraternity. Why should they want party dresses, slippers and the like? All they desire is busi- ness clothes, their mother says. And furthermore she avers that she has ceaged to be their mother and is now their chauffeur because the young reporters covering a half a dozen assignments a day press her into service to transport them from story to story. As newspaper reporters Helen and Olive are in demand. The Kiwanis club must have them one day, the Masonic club the next and 50 on until the week is filled @ith special invitations for them and Noble wishes there were four of them instead of two. Their spe- cialty is feature stories. The twins have completed a five year course for an A.

I suppose they are making the best of it, but they are getting & bad break. “I believe women really miss the Cave Man, whose methods we so loudly decried as vulgar and brutal. But I am old enough and still young enough to belleve that the man who lets his girl know he might beat her is the man who really loves her. “In America the chiet offender of soclal decency today s the young married woman, the wealthy wife with too much leis- ure, She has a man taking care of her every need and a protected home. Yet she openly flouts this confidence to go her merry, Jazzy way. The modern man is as self- ish of his own interests as his beautiful but dumb partner. He is s0 soft he makes things soft for her too. “The modern woman has too much cake. She is nauseated with her dlet of sweets and hasn't seen vet that the world has no perma- nent place for wasters. Wealth has suffocated the average woman high up on the soclal ladder and her example of recklessness is be- ing felt all down the line. What she really needs is an old-fashion- ed He-Man, with an iran hand, to steady her.” College Gives Library Set of Braille Books New London, Conn., July 24.
