WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 PNEUMONIA IS DEATH LEADER Shares High Mortality Rec- ord With Tuberculosis Pneumonia was the chief scythe used by the grim reaper in harvesting his 1924 contagious disease crop in Illinois, according to mortality statis- tics made public this week by the state health department. Next to pneumonia stood tuberculosis. These two diseases caused 5818 and 5,581 fatalities, respectively, giving death rates of 84.6 and 81.2 per 100,000 popu- lation. At the other end of the list were mumps and chickenpox, to each of which seven deaths were attributed during the last year. Between the highest and lowest places on the com- municable disease mortality list came influenza, with a mortality of 1,015, diphtheria with 470, whooping cough 349, typhoid fever 239, measles 225, scarlet fever 206, malaria 80, menin- gitis 48, infantile paralysis 25, small pox 16. The total deaths from all of these causes was 14,084, or slightly more than two per 1000 people in the state. Sources in Other Ailments "If pneumonia and tuberculosis were eliminated, the death rate from com- municable diseases in the state would be almost negligible compared with the present situation," said Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, in commenting on the situation. "These two maladies accounted sor 11,399 of the 14,084 fatalities listed and the im- portant point is that a very consider- able percentage of deaths from pneu- monia and tuberculosis find their be- ginnings in the other contagions. Measles, for example, quite frequently foreruns tuberculosis and pneumonia. Broncho-pneumonia is a frequent complication of whooping cough and not uncommonly follows diphtheria. Influenza often paves the way to pneumonia. It is plain then that the mortality is actually more correctly classified as the result of communic- able diseases than as the result of dis- tinct types of these maladies. The pre- vention of the most deadly, therefore, depends in no small measure upon the prevention of all the others and especi- ally - those regarded too often as of no consequence. Make Excellent Health Progress "Compared with the mortality from communicable diseases in Illinois 25 years ago, the rates for last year repre- sent a remarkable progress in preven- tive medicine. In 1902 the diseases listed caused more than 20,000 deaths, giving a death rate of about 4 per 1000 population. The same causes were charged with scarcely more than 14,- 000 deaths last year, yielding a rate of about 2 per 1000 people. The most pronounced declines during the 23 years have been in typhoid fever, which dropped over 90 per cent; diphtheria which fell over 65 per cent and tuberculosis which fell over 40 per cent. Another quarter of a century ought to bring no less progress in the control of communicable diseases." WHAT MAKES THEM CRY That music actually affects the emo- tions of players was evidenced during the making of Hobart Henley's production of "The Denial." There were some dramatically emo- tional scenes, and the players chose the following compositions to make them sad: Claire Windsor, Tosti's "Goodbye." William Haines, Massenet's "Elegy." Vivia Ogden, Chopin's "Funeral Song." Emily Fitzroy, "The Volga Boat Song." Bert Roach, "Smilin' Through." Edward Connelly, Schubert's "Seren- ade." Robert Agnew, "The Vacant Chair." Lucille Ricksen, "Just a Song at Twi- light." Agnes Christine Johnston adapted "The Denial" to the screen from the famous stage play by Lewis Beach.

TAKES BOOTHS AT WOMAN'S WORLD'S FAIR The United Sta.es government has ex- tended its endorsement of the Woman's World's Fair to be held April 18-25 in the American Palace, Chi- cago, and its co-operation, from the radio speech the president will make and the official opening by Mrs. Coolidge, to the exhibitors in the fair. At the suggestion of the president, de- partments of the government where wom- en occupy important positions will be represented at the fair and six booths have been set aside for their use. The Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor will show a model factory, the original model of which is a part of the permanent health exhibit of the Smith- sonian Institute. Exposition Exhibits in six miniature theatres will illustrate standards of hours, wages, and working conditions for women. The sub- jects to be illustrated are the living wage and all the items it must cover; and the eight-hour day with all the activities that should go to fill up the 24 hours of a woman's day.

WINNETKA, ILL. 712-14-16 Elm Street MYSTERIOUS NEW FLOWER One of the many unusual features of the Flower Show to be opened Monday at McVickers theatre by the Allied Flor- ists Association is the display for the first time anywhere of a new flower--a sensation among flower experts. It is a blue carnation--a color in carnations never before attained. Pesche Bros, floral specialists of DesPlaines, Ill, after years of experimenting have brought forth this bluc freak. Tt will be guarded closely to prevent anyone taking "slips for transplanting and thus learning the secret of the new bloom. It will take two years more work to propagate the blue carnation for com- mercial use.
