Their communication to the (?overnors, after calling attention to the fact that many fire insurance men have recently pTedged>themselves to work for the sup? pression of disloyalty and the broader circulation of American ideals, says: "In view of the extraordinary propa? ganda of seditious and destructive radi calism that ?g now being promoted, we wish respectfully to suggest that you issue a proclamation designating the neck of February 22 to K, inclusive, as 'Loyaltj Week,' and urging that all com? munities hold appropriate exercises ami endeavor to secure the enrollment of their citizens to a similar pledge of con? structive patriotism. We believe that such action on your part will be wel? comed by the great mass of the popula? tion which is growing anxious to make its position clear."

Qnei 'Flu' Peak Near; 349 Die in Day, A New Record Worst of Epidemic Will Br Over This Week, Cope luntl Believes, Despite the Danger From Weather Expects Pneumonia Gain Street Conditions itleuace Health, He Tells Mayor; Call for Nurses Lighter Despite the highest number of \ deaths due to influenza and pneumonia thus far recorded in the epidemic, a 1 total ol 379 yesterday, an increase of thirty-two over the Tuesday figures. Health Commissioner Koyal S. Cope land predicted last, night that the peak of the epidemic will be registered by Saturday and that the end of the crisis is in sight. The announcement is the tirst official word that the epidemic is waning. "The general situation is satisfac? tory," said Dr. Copeland. "I mean that the number of new cases each day of both influenza and pneumonia is maintaining about the same level. This weather is not fnvornble, but I do not look for an increase, although ex? posure to the storms may reflect itself m an advance two or three days hence. We arc having each day an increased number of pneumonia cases and a gain in the deaths from both disease, but the pneumonia cases do not represen), now victims they are patients of a week past, when we were reporting high numbers of influenza cases, who have since developed pneumonia." Pneumonia Cases Increase The figures collected by the Health Department for the chart day ended nl 10 o'clock yesterday morning show that there has been a decrease in the number of new influenza cases re? ported, while pneumonia shows an in j crease.

"The death rate in 1918 was ' about 40 per cent higher than our fig ; mes show- at present," he Said, "and i unless weather conditions interfere with the favorable progress we have made 1 feel safe in saying that, we will , reach the penk of the epidemic at the end of this week. From then on, bar ? ring, of course, bad weather conditions, I feel there will be a steady decline in every evidence of epidemic condi? tions." The satisfactory situation, Dr. Cope ! land added, had made him decide to | continue the week's course of instruc ! lion for attendants only for the re I maindor of this week and next week. i He said there was a common misun , derstanding, which he wished to cor ! rect, that the Department of Health's ! emergency training made those who at? tended full fledged nurses and that the Nuises' Emergency Council had spon \ sored the idea. The Commissioner said 1 that not only had the council nothing to do with it. but that the persons who ? took the course would not be nurses in ! any sense merely attendants who re cciv?i' instructions that would make them helpful to physicians and nurses during the emergency. He declared | that, the Nurses' Emergency Council is ? composed of the most efficient women , in the nursing profession, and that wom ! en who took the week's course could | not rightfully assume the name of I "nurse." Requests for nurses yesterday num? bered ninety-three, and sixty-seven , .vero supplied. A total of twenty-six | registered, live of whom were graduate ! nurses. Menace in Street Conditions It became known that the Health Commissioner had written to Mayor ! Ilyland and to Arnold B. MacStay, Street ('leaning Commissioner, on Tuesday concerning the condition of the streets, which he regards as dan-: geroufi. He requested the Mayor to see that the Street Cleaning Commissioner had sufficient funds to hire men to clean the streets. The letter to Commis? sioner Mae.Stny said in part: "Repeated complaints are coming'to this olhce regarding the unsanitary con- ] dit ion of the streets. Caroage is piled ? up, ashes are accumulating, the cross- ] ings are wet and the health of the peo- j pie is seriously impaired by the present i condition of affairs. I must appeal to you in the name of public health to i exercise not the usual methods of con- ' trol but extraordinary methods that are i demanded by reason of the epidemic." Complaints that smoking was permit- i ted in the Winter Garden and in the ! boxes at the Century Theater led Dr. Copeland lo communicate with J. J. Sliubert, of the Winter Carder., and with Morris Gest, manager of the Cen- ! tury. They agreed to put a stop to the practice, which was being carried' osi, they said, without their knowledge. Dr. Frank J. Monaghan, sanitary su? perintendent of the Board of Health, announced that a motion picture thea? ter conducted by the Consolidate i Amusement Company, at 302 West Forty-second Street, had been closed because of luck of cleanliness and poor1 ventilation. The theater has been placarded "Closed by the Board of Health." The war against spitters and per- ; sons who smoke in the subways pro-i eeeds, and the department is investi-'. eating complaints made by tenants that inadequate heat is being furnis-hed. Such complaints investigated yesterday i.umbered 304, and seventy-nine spit? ters and smokers received summonses. The bid Spring Make' ?'

Broadway at Ninth, New York Good morning! This is February 5! The weather to-day will probably be snowy. It is a veritable certainty that every man and every woman has a destiny. Sonic of us started wrong because we had nobody who put us on the right track. But there is no good reason for any one to keep on traveling to? ward Chicago when we know it is New York or Boston and their famous Tech schools that we need to finish the education of which we had only a smattering. No use to face continual dis? appointment for lack of training attainable even at middle age. A man in business is not a busi? ness man unless he has qualified for it and takes a real delight in every piece of business he does. To such a man business is not drudgery. This Store grows daily more like a museum, and its history seems like a romance. (Signed) February 5, 1920.
