A second Assoelatrd Press dispatch
' this morning stated that the Lawson

winds', landed safely at Boiling field,
n(vr Washington' A i-top of three
aays will be madf i Washington,
a(tVr which the plant- will take a di
rect course to Dayton, Ohio.
Upon leaving the Ohio city, the tlrst
nar' of the com ins week. It is expect
ed ihat the third destination of the
plane will be Ogden As Ogden has
bf-on selected as a landing field for
$ the plane, it is probable that gden
Ites then will have their first glimpse
at one of the world's largest pacsen-fter-carryinc
planes
While stop at Washington and Day
ton will be made, it is hoped that the
pbn will land here and that a stop
' of a day or so will be made.
At Hot Springs.
Officials of the Utah Hot Springs
j stated this morning that ever effort
WU be made to facilitate the landing
of the planes. C. E. Ledbctter, man
ager of the resort, is elated over the
I possibilities and will get in communi
cation with Marwn Lawson, son of
the promoter, with the idea of making
Ogden one of the main points of in
f terest along the line of travel. !f the
i need arises, a hotel -will be erected at
II the springs to accommodate the pas
sengern, should their trip from Ogden
to san Francisco be hindered on ac

president to greet the crew and pas
sengers in the first cross-country trip

Aviation has shown wonderful de- i
Telopment during the past three years;
and is now out after other laurels.)
President Wilson and the thousands;'
of other visitors as well as residents
of Ogden may have the chance to wit- '

It will be the first attempt to i rOSI
the United Siaies continent from New

the life ot the game is sure to develop
with the progress that has already
been encountered.
Marvin Lawson, son of the inventor,
J Hide Hi.- city of Ogden one of the
I I stopping places on the air line Young
Lawson was in this city last Wednes
' day and stated that Ogden would be
on the rout-- of travel. He was through
J r this city the previous week on his
way to Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco and al that time stated that con
J dltlnns at the landing field here were
ig such as to warrant consideration on
the part of the largo concern.
Ogden on Routs.
The planes will come into Ogden
from the east via Omaha and Chey
enne it h expected that the machines
j will follow the Union Pacific tracks
and that the mountains to be encoun
tered b going via Denver and Salt
Lake will be avoided. The climbing is
, one of the chiei phases that needs de
velopment in the aviation game and
'he nfW Ci.ner-rn. in selecting ihe
shortest and easiest route, placed Og
den on the map as one ot tWC topi
between New York and San Francisco
The other Mop, according 10 word re
eived bv The Standard, will be mad
a' Dayton, Ohio.
In the first trip west, the gian
craft will hav- every modern con
venience for the traveler The up-tn
datenegs of a modern hotel will b
rivaled by the giant plane, as reading
rooms, writing rooms, sleeping rooms
and entertaining features will b
a ailable.
In du i line the air line will be es
tablished and the trip from New Y'orl
to San Francisco with but two topi
will be made in from 3G to 40 hour;
of actual flying time.
A W. Lawson, the owner and one
of the boosters of the enterprise ir
America, is one of the pioneers ol
aviation in America. He was at on
time president of the Aj ro Club o!
America and during the world war
aided Undo Sam considerably
The field at Ctah Hot Springs Is ir
tiptop shape and the planes will en
counter little difficulty in landing
'here Young Lawson stated last week
that the field would compare favor
ably with any in the United States.
Manager Ledbctter of the Utah
Hot Springs Is eagerly awaiting fur
ther reports concerning the plane.

INFLUENZA WARNING
IS ISSUED By THE
flUIHITIES
The influenza epidemic which caused 5
thousands of deaths in the I nite,j States 1
last season, and which crippled bu
In practically Ccry nook and corner of I
the I'nlted Statc. das again started In c
the east. Every precaution is being ta- c

Schools were closed, theatres, flahces and C

various health departments of the eoun- e
try asking: that the health officials and e
citizens co-op-rnto In Checking another

Probably, but by no means certainly,
i here will he a recurrence of the influ
enza epidemic this year.
Indications are, that should it occur,
it will not be as severe as the pandem
ic of the previous winter.
City officials state and city boards
of health, should be prepared in the
event of a recurrence.
1 lu- fact that a previous attack
brings immunity in a certain percent

part of those afilictcd in the previous
epidemic.
Iufluenza is spread by direct and in
direct contact.
It is not yet certain that the grrni
has been isolated or discovered and
as a consequence there is yet no posi
tive preventive, except the enforce
raent of rigid rules of sanitation und
the avoidance of personal contact.
A close relation between the influ
enza pandemic and the constantly in
creasinc; pneumonia mortality rate pri
or to the fall of 1918 is recognized.
It is now believed that the disease
was pretty widely disseminated
throughout the country before it was
recognized in its epidemic slate. This
failure to recognize the early cases ap
pears to have largely been due to the
fact that ever inter si iras ihen cen

service after a careful survey and In
vestigation of ihe influenza pandemic
of 1918-19. carried on in every state
and important city, and even in for
eign countries.
No one of the many experts of the
service would make a more positive
forecast of the all-important question,
will there be a recurrence' All agreed,
however, that a recurrence was not un
likely, and in the face of the known
facts, that It would be wise to be pre
pared, more with a view of being on
the safe side than actually anticipating
danger
The following excerpts from the gov
ernment report are published for the
benefit of the public and health offi
cers in the hope that this v. ill serve to
set at rest the dailv publication in the
newspapers of statements, which on
one hand are calculated to lull the pub
lic into a sense of false security and
on the other to unduly cause alarm
Contrary to the opinion expressed i
frequently during the early weeks of
last year's pandemic by a number of
observers, the studies of the U. S. pub
lic health service indicate that the epi
demic was not a fresh importation
from abroad Careful study of the
tnortalitv statistics of the United
States shows that there were a num
ber of extensive though mild forerun
ners of the pandemic during the pre
vious three or four years. In Chicago
snd New York in the winter of 1915
1C for example, there were sufficiently
K"oll marked to occasion considerable
iublic momment at the lime, leadngi
n the latter city, to a well organized!
'Don't spit, don't sneeze" campaign!
m the part of the health authorities,
rhe reports of the U S public health '
iervlce of January, 1916. show influ ,
nza to be epidemic in twenty two j1
itates, including practically all sec-ij
ions of the United States. The epi-l:
lemic was generally of a mild type and
las since been almost forgotten. It
iccasioned, however, a noticeable in- '
Tease in the recorded death rate from
meuinonia.
In the spring of 1918 there was an
ither sharp rise in the mortality rateM
rom pneumonia. In the larger cities
if the Atlantic seaboard these in- '
reases occurred during January, Feb
uary and March. In the rest of the
ountry, especially the central and '
western states, the increases occurred
D April, a month during wihch pneu- j
nonia mortality is generally on the de- 1

The rhe in mortality from pneumo- .
nia. this very similar type of disease, H
In the sprlnc of 1918 is so sudden, soin
marked and so general throughout the 0
United States as to ;olnt very clearly ,
to a definite relation. Everything in- n
dlcatea that the increased mortnln ,
Irom pneumonia in March and April of
1918 was the consequence of a begin- j,
r.ing and large! unnoticed epidemic of n
influenza, the beginning in this coun h
try of the pandemic which developed t;
in the autumn of that year. ?i
In the British cities the epidemic ;i
manifested three distinct waves the l
lirst and slightest in point of mortal
ity occurring in June and July, the w
recond and most severe in November, -n
ihe third in February and March. Data 0
which need not be cited here in de- tl
tail Indicate that the course of the Ci
ipidemic In western Europe generally n
was similar In cities of India the se- ti
ciuence was similar, but the mortality s
rar greater. In the I'nlted States the n
epidemic developed more largely In a n
:ingle wave during September, OctO- n
ber and November. If, however, the h
epidemic already mentioned as occir
nnir In tho spring bo considered the
first phase and the explosive outbreak
of the autumn the second, a third
phase of recrudescence is quite evi
dent in many areas In general. 11
v inter recrudescence was less marked
in those cities which suffered most
severely In the autumn epidemic
The prevalence of a serious epldt ! lie
of influenza was first recognized in
and around Boston in September ol
3918. Within about two weeks II was
general in the Atlantic seaboard, de-
eloping a little later among cities fur
ther west. Rural districts were usual
ly attacked somewhat later than larce
cities in the same sections.
In the cities east of the line of Ihe
Appalachians the excess mortalitj
from pneumonia and influenza during
the weeks ended September 14, 191S,
to March 1, 1919 was approximately
;6 per 1,000; In cities between the
Rock mountains and the Appalach
ians, 4 35: and in those of the Pacilic
coast, 5.5 ') per 1,000
Notwithstanding this general geo
graphic relation, there are notably
wide differences in the mortality rat -Of
individual cities in ihe same sec
lion, even between cities close togeth
er, differences which are not as yt
explained on the basis of climate, den
sity of population, character of pre
ventive measures exercised, or auy
other determined environmental fac
tor.
More details can be given only the
briefest mention here In order to se
cure reliable statistics of morbidity
the public health service has made
special house-to-houso surveys in a
number of localities, ascertaining 'lie
rumber ol persons affected, the dates
jf onse-t. and a few other simple fai tfi
aaci urataly numerated groups repre
sentative of the general population.
I'artlal analysis of the results ol th-e
Airveys in eight localities, giving an
iggregate of 112,958 persons can
vassed, shows the following as the
hief facts of interest:
The percentage of the population at
ackeel varied from 15 per cent in
LiOUlsvlUe to 53.3 per cent in San An
onio. Texas, the aggregate for the
hole group being about 28 per cent,
rhis agrees with scattered observa
10ns in the first phase of the 1889-90
epidemic, when the attack rate seems
o have varied within about these
Smits.
The case incidence was found to he
inlfonnly highest In children from 5
0 14 years old, and progressive! low
:r in each higher age group It was
illghtly higher in females than 'n!
nales of corresponding age; usually
ligher in the white than the colored
topulation
The. ratio of pneumonia cases to total
lopulalion varied from 6.3 cases per 1000
n SparlnnburK. S C to 21.6 per 1000 In
he smaller towns of Maryland. The
neumon!a rate showed litlle correlation
vlth the Influenza attuck rate.
The ratio of deaths to population var
ed from 1.9 per 1000 In Spartanhurcr to
R In Maryland towns. The death rate
vas by no means parallel to the Influ
ma attack rate, but was closely cor
elated with the pncumonl rate. In
ther words, the case fatality rate ot
neumonla tended to he fairly constant,
round 30 per cent. The death rate wis
otnbly hifrh in children under one yar
Id, in adults from 20 to 40. und in per
oii.s over 60, hifiher in males thon in fc
lales of comparable nccs: higher among
ic whites than the colon I
Concerning the Important question of
nmunlty conferred by an attuck of ln
uensa, the evidence Is not conclusive,
s.it there is reason In believe that an at
irk durlnp the earlier staqcs of ihe
pldemlc confers a considerable, but not
bsoluto immunity in the later out
reaks. in Rcneral the pandemic of influenza

le rapidity of Its spread and its hli;h

Dtably different In a much hisher mor
ilit.v, especially among young adults,
uch evidence as has been gathered con
rni.s the conclusion previously leached
iat It Is transnutlert directly und Indl
ctly by contnci. Ii appear probable,
owever, that the Infection was already
8HV
wldelv disseminated in this country some
time before a serious epidemic was rec
ognized Despite the fact that there I still some
uncertainly as to the nature of the micro
organism causing pandemic Influenza, onu
thing Is certain, that the disease Is com
municable from person to person More
over. Judging from experience In other
diseases, it is probable that the germs,
whatever its nature, is carried about not
only by those who are III with Influenza,
but by persons who may be entirely well.
Everything which lncrca ses personal con
tact, therefore, should be regarded as a
factor in spreading influenza.
Much was heard last winter of the uo
of face masks. Though tho use of suit
ably constructed masks will reduce thb
Interchange of respiratory germs
through inhalation it must be remem
bered that there are many other paths
by which such germs are transmitted
from person to person. Soiled han Is,
common drinking cups. lmproperl
cleaned eating and drinking utensils !n
restaurants, soda fountains, etc. roller'
towels, infected food these are only a
few of the commpn vehicles of gcrro
transmission. The use of face masks ap
pears to make people neglect these other
paths of infection, and so the use ot
face masks has not been attended with
the success predicted by them. If wa
would be more successful In combating
Influenza greater attention must be pain
to the factors just enumerated
The question of most practical and Im-
m
mediate Interest Is the probability ol
recurrence in the near future. Recur- 'j i i A
n BCM are characteristic of influenza ept- ll! . I 1
demies; and the history of th last pan- , R. j V
li mlc and previous ones would seem 'O ' iS, h
