Six Hospitals Here Taken in Influenza Fight Copeland Also Comman* deers Ship and City Lodging House Another SOS Call For Nurses Sent Out 2,070 New Cases in Epi¬ demic and 160 Deaths Re¬ ported in 24 Hours __ \ mergencj call for nurses to. fctlp fitrhl the epidemic of Spanish in¬ fluenza, 2,070 now cases of which were reported here yesterday, was issued Ins! .-. ght by Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner of Health. The women are asked to report to the Board of Hen at 11 o'clock this morning. '-. Copeland announced that six hospitals, the Municipal Lodging House, on East Twenty-sixth Street. anti the hospital ship Riverside had; been commandeered, either wholly or. in part, to establish wards for the ex-. elusive treatment of the increasing1 number of influenza victim?. It is to supply the nurses for these new emergency wards that the plea for trained workers has been sent out. "Please make it clear that we heed a'; the nurses we can tret," said Com¬ missioner Copeland. "We want -grad¬ uate nurses, nurses' aids, all wom¬ en who have ever studied nursing and a who think they can n«irse. Need Nurses Badly "We need them badly; let there be n- doubt about that. 1 was asked by a personal friend to get a nurse for a relative, ami, with all the power of this office and my hospital connec¬ tions, 1 have not been able to get a single one in twenty-four hours. That is the situation tiow. "These nurses will De paid a fair: wage, and will not bo expected to volunteer their services. In addition to those who will come here Sunday morning, 1 am making a canvass of tho town to find, through various so¬ cial agencies, women who used to do nursing in «irder to urge them to come out for this special occasion and let us have the benefit of then- experience and training." It. the country at large the spread oi the disease took on alarming pro¬ portion-: yesterday, it. was reported from Washington. Roth in the cities and army cantonments the number of new esses was larger than during- any preceding twenty-four hours. Deaths .-.' camps totaled 053, an increase of 3i«0 over Friday, and 2,141 new pneu¬ monia case-; were reported, an increase of 390. The records of the Surgeon General's office showed 17,30',? cases of influenza developing yesterday in can¬ tonments. (.'amp Devens Improves Word was received by the American Tied Cross that the epidemic is under control at ("amp Devens. Massachusetts. I util recently conditions here were; more serious than at any other camp. Church services in Washington will be suspended to-day, to check the spread of the disease, it was announced. Twenty-seven deaths were reported there, the largest, number since the spread of the contagion. Dispatches told of little abatement of the dis¬ ease m most .states, but figures for the civilian population were not received.' The Board of Health yesterday was the storm centre of representatives of «very business affected by Dr. Cope- land's closing and opening schedule, all anxious to cooperate in the movement to lessen subway congestion through this means, but many were in doubt as to the exacfapplication of the ordei to then'. Change in Hours The large department stores sent a committee early in the day to see Com¬ missioner Copeland. As the result of a friendly conference with him the lours allotted to them were changed, so that they will open nt 9:45 in the morning and close at 6:15, instead of throwing 'operi their doors at 8 and «losing at I, as stated in the original order. he order, in genera!, remains: as it was -riven out. Marc Klaw, of the theatrical tirin of Klaw A- Erlanger, telephoned Dr. Cope- land he and the other theatrical man¬ agers would give the heartiest cooper¬ ation to the plan. Dr. Copeland as- sured Mr. Klaw it was not his purpose to stop matinee performances, which v ill be given at the usual time. The first night performances of the "mov¬ ies" in the district from Fourteenth to Fifty-ninth Street will be moved altead ii half-hour, from 7:30, as at present. to 7 o'clock. At the offices of tit« Interboróugh y« ;t.erda j it was said the effect of tin i.»:v, order would not be felt until Mon¬ day, as Saturday was a half-holiday in the downtown district anyway. The order was effective not yesterday morn¬ ing, but last night, and Commissioner Copeland declared he would watch it closely to sec 'Another any further modifications were necessary to make ¦. success. Hospitals Taken Over The entire Mintum Hospital, at the foot of Eafst Sixtieth Street, was taken over yesterday for influenza case««, Dr. 'opeland stated. In addition, he said. Commissioner of Charities Coler had turned over to him the Municipal l.o«ig- ing House, and tie had taken the St. John's Guild, on Staten Island, and 'arge wards in the Metropolitan, Wil- lard Parker and Bellevue hospitals, The hospital .ship Riverside, with fifty beds, is being brougut down (rom North Brothers' Island to the foot ui Seventeenth Street, where it will han¬ dle the overflow cases from the .Villar«! Parker Hospital. Dr. Copeland issue«! orders yester day that persons sneezing or coughing in crowded places be sent out im¬ mediately by those in charge. Such widely durèrent meeting places as cabarets and dancing balls and Sun¬ day schools came under tin?, regula¬ tion. Agents were sent yesterday by the Health Department to the palaces of sung and dance, with instructions to the waiters to watch all patrons. and to invite to leave those who coughed or sneezed. Sunday school superintendents were called upon to make an announcement r.bout coughing and sneezing before starting their classes, arul to send home any child apparently affected with influenza «.r cold, «hutches, too, were asked to shorten services to-day, ventilate their edifices before and after services, and have announce¬ ments of rui« "i health to be fol¬ lowed made from the pulpit. The Day's Record The -_'.07(l eases poi ted ,.; til! 0 , o'clock yepterda.N morning ma v increase oi J75 ovci the number Poi A Real Liberty Loan Argument By Lieutenant Grantland Rice (Formerly sports writer for The Tribune. I SAW him lying by the roadside, in the wake of the Amcri- ¦ can advance just beyond Fère-en-Tardenois. He was lying face downward, the vim of his steel helmet buried in the mud. A heavy rain was still falling, but it had not yet completely erased the writing on a letter he bad carried. The letter was from his mother. It expressed the wish and the hope that he "was well and dry and safe"; that he Xvas happy and would soon be back, as they were thinking of nothing else but his return. "Your daddy," she wrote, "sits by the fire at night and refuses to talk of anything but you and of the day you'll be back with us again." "Well.and dry.and safe".with the rain beating on him, face downward in the mud.and a bullet hole through the top of his steel helmet. But he had fallen toward Germany. He was only one of the many who had made the great sacrifice. His father and mother were only a small part of the many who had made the greater sacrifice. The. question left is a simple one: How many of these have died and are going to die in vain because the people back home couldn't raise the money to crush the military power that made such things possible? Aged Women Newsdealer Is New Target for Hearst Agents Vender Who Refused to Handle "Americans" Finds Stand Picketed by "Strong Arm" Crew, but Her Customers Stand By Her.Other Attacks Fail Unable to make any headway against! the newsboys who are fighting to es¬ cape from the control of the Hearst publications, Hearst agents have now switched their campaign to a woman. Mrs. Mary Taylor, who for many years has sold papers at the Municipal Build¬ ing, is the latest vender to be picked for their attentions. Mrs. Taylor's offence lies in refus¬ ing to sell "Americans," and by selling "Tribunes" about the Brooklyn Bridge forcing Hearst agents to the limit of their activities. In retaliation they are said to have threatened to put her out of business. As a means toward this end a group of lively youngsters picket her afternoon stand in an at¬ tempt to get her trade away from her. Echo of Former Attack This group is led by a fellow who the newsboys say is the same person who a few weeks ago assaulted the aged newsdealer, Levitt, in City Hall Park after he had declared he had no "Americans" in the bundle he was carrying to his Thirty-third Street stand and did not propose to carry any. The leader of this crowd was not to be found when the police searched for him. but has returned to his haunts within the last week. Andrew Stanton. president of the Newsboys' Union, assured Mrs. Taylor yesterday that the union would stand by her and tha.t she could depend upon police protection if necessary. Cite Enright's Promise. "Commissioner Enright will not stand for gang work," he told her, "and Captain Hanna of this precinct won't cither." "I am not afraid of the 'strong arms'," Mrs. Taylor said. "What I am afraid of is disorder about the stand. My regular customers would buy of j Coiled in the Flag OINCE the United States en- ^ tered the war the Hearst paper? have printed: 74.attacks on our al¬ lies. 17.instances of de¬ fence or praise of Germany. 63.pieces of anti-war propaganda. 1.deletion of a Pres¬ idential proclama¬ tion. total 155 mo if til ere were fifty of the rowdies about. The danger is that some of these customers will resent, the at¬ tempts of these fellows to interfere and knock them spinning and I don't want any fighting around here. ".Some good union man who's got a boy or a brother in France is just as likely as not to swart one of them for pushing a 'Journal' in his face. "With the death lists coming back and folks with relatives over there dreading to see the sight of a mes¬ senger boy coming up the block, for fear he's bringing bad news, you can't blame them much for being nervous." With one exception, the groups used in the effort to intimidate male news¬ dealers into abandoning the figjit on Hearst have been called off. The one exception is the group that has been trying to injure the business of Mark Moscowitz, the president of the Harlem Newsdealers' Association. This group is intermittently on duty, but is making no headway. the same period the day before. Man¬ hattan has 996 of the new cases. The Bronx 294, Brooklyn 579. Queens 59 and Richmond 142. The deaths reported from influenza were sixty-one, against forty-two the day before, divided as follows: Fifteen m Manhattan, thirteen i-n The. Bronx, twenty-seven in Brooklyn, four ¡n Queens and two in Richmond. The cieaths from pneumonia numbered ninety-nine yesterday, against eighty- four Friday; thirty-four in Manhattan, seventeen in The Bronx, forty-five in Brooklyn, one in Queens and two in Richmond. "This is a little increase over the day before, and far smaller than I looked for," said Dr. Copeland. "Half of the cases are in 800 home*, showing the epidemic is well confined. One home I know of had twelve cases. There wer» 8,000 cases in all, but because of the rapid recoveries I esti¬ mate there are about 5.000 cases in the city at present. That is an epi¬ demic, of course, but T do not consider that serious in a. city of 0.000,000 people." Cincinnati Closes All Gathering Places CINCINNATI, Oct. 5..A sweeping order closing all schools, moving pict¬ ure theatres, regular theatres, Sunday schools, the University of Cincinnati, churches and all places where people are accustomed to congregate, either indoor or outdoor, was made here to¬ day by the Board of Health. The or¬ der followed reports from practically all physicians in this city, which dis¬ played the fact that there were ap¬ proximately 4,000 cases of influenza here. The order ¡s to go into effect at midnight to-night. Only two deaths from influenza and twelve from pneumonia have occurred in this city during the last week, but 135 new cases of influenza put in an appearance this morning at the city hospitals and thirty-five at Cincin¬ nati University. An immediate poll of the city's physicians resulted. At Fort Thomas, Ky., across the river, a partial quarantine has been inaugurated. The schools and moving picture theatres have been ordered closed, and the citizens and soldiers warned not to congregate in great numbers. 1,480 New Cases in Philadelphia in Day PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.There is no abatement in the epidemic of in- fluenzu in this city. At noon the re¬ port for the preceding twenty-foui hours showed 245 deaths and 1,4S0 new cases, an increase of "42 over yes¬ terday's report. It was explained that some of these were belated reports of cases developing earlier in the week, but only reported to-day. Dining the week there «ver«' 1.191 deaths from all causes, the highest «loath rate in the history of the city. The authorities estimate seventy-five per cent due to influenza. In the cor¬ responding! week last yea)' 405 deaths wove reported. A prominent victim of influenza in Camden. N, .T., was the Rev. Paul Mil¬ ler, pastor of Parkside sí, E. Church. who died in n hospital. Harry S. 3coveT. former prosecutor of Camden i Count} and a member of the Leçisla- ture, died at his home in Haddonfield, N. J., of the disease. Camden and the adjoining city of Gloucester to-day followed the ex¬ ample of Philadelphia and closed all saloons. Boston Votes $50,000 for Influenza "Shack" Hospital BOSTON'. Oct. 5. The expenditure of -S50,000 to erect temporary buildings in various parts of the slate to house influenza patients was authorized to¬ day by the Emergency Public Health Committee, after word had been re¬ ceived that the supply of'tents was exhausted. The tirst of these build¬ ings, which members of the committee describe as small shacks, will be put up at once in outlying sections of this city and in Taunton. Dr. Bernard W. Carey, state epidemi¬ ologist, said conditions throughout the state to-dav were unchanged. Xoon re¬ ports from eighty-one cities and towns outside of Boston showed 5,570 new tases of influenza in the past twenty- four hours, with ÍJOl deaths. Lowell .reported tt(>4 new cases and twentv- f'our deaths: New Bedford, «¡2G new cases and eighteen deaths, and Pea- body, 616 cases. Schools, Churches, Saloons, Theatres in Trenton Closed TRENTON, X. J., Oct. 5. The Tren¬ ton City Commission, at a special meet¬ ing to-day, decided to close at mid¬ night to-night all saloons, schools, churches, theatres and all other places where indoor gatherings are held. They will be kept closed during the pre¬ valence of influenza. It is estimated that they are between 10.000 and 15.0U0 cases of the disease in Trenton. The city has a population of 110,000, Representativev Kitchin Has Spanish Influenza WASHINGTON'. Oct. 5. Representa¬ tive Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina.

Shops and Things IF YOU LIKE to muse before a wide brick fireplace, where a smoke- blackened kettle swings from an antique crane and the baby's cradle rocks on a bit of blue rag carpet; if you find it restful to Linger where the soft light from homespun curtains softens the twentieth century giare, and the rows of dull pewter send back as dim a reflection from Kdis.on'a bulbs as once they caught from great-grandmother's hand-, dipped candles; if you want a few minutes' chat on a faded sofa with the serene spirits that haunt a grandfather's clock and a mahogany highboy .then wander some afternoon into the Wallace Nutting gallery at Wana- maker's. i Here are the treasures gathered in years of loving search through the attics of faraway homesteads in hills of old New England. They were used by the artist to furnish his series of Colonial houses, where he posed those- quaint, spinners and spinnet players for the famous Nutting photographs. Now the photographs are all taken and the collection is to be scattered. We permit ourselves the sentimental hope that in their new settings these venerable highboys and fourposter beds are destined to carry on the fine traditions of their past. It is not only that they had their origin in stately times, but recently they have been instrumental in the making of one of the most appealing life stories that we know. Wallace Nutting was a worn-out clergyman, "They turned me to grass," he tells it now with a smile, "and I found I liked the grass. 1 began to take pictures of it." The grass, literally, was apple blossoms. Everybody knows tho.se dainty bits of orchard, clothed in pink, bending over the crumbling stone walls, where the clergyman stopped his nag and imprisoned spring in his camera. . When the apple blossoms faded the loving camera penetrated into' the backyards of the rambling white farmhouses behind the orchard walls, and from 1 he backyards it sought the old-fashioned kitchen, with its hanging crane and its kerchiefed Housewife. Here, alas, the quest failed. Horrible (to the artist's eye) iron stoves and pine .'hairs had taken the place of the old Colonial furniture, and the present mis¬ tresses, even of the most dignified old houses, bought their butter ready-made'and had relegated the old churn to the woodshed. Mr. Nut-: ting was compelled to buy beautiful bits of furniture wherever he could and set up his own Colonial interiors to photograph. in the doing of this he amassed a fortune, which lovers of New Eng-, land will never grudge him, nor will those who admire the fine talc off success gathered from failure. rr-M-IE efficiency experts tell us that the day of home dressmaking is | past.that the modern woman knows by bitter experience that it is cheaper in the end to buy the more expensive ready-made gowns, and that her most painstaking and dainty stitches count for nothing against the swagger that comes from scientific cutting and a swift power machine. We know by heart the arguments about the necessity for specialization in modern life. No one woman should attempt to be a cook, a nurse, an educator, a dressmaker and milliner, a doctor, interior decorator and an inspiration to her husband all in the same lifetime. We have yielded already to the community breadmaker, the steam laundry and the factory pickle. We arc tightening our lips against the near day when we shall tome to the community kitchen and day nursery. Nevertheless the great god economy holds most of us in his sway still. Tell a woman that she can make a dress herself for $20, when the same thing costs $29 in the shops, and all the fine theories fly out of the window. Tell her that it is patriotic to release men tailors for military service.or at least for the making of military uniforms.and she will stitch her fingers black in the making of her winter suit. So it is that in spite of the dark days not long since, when we heard that all the dressmakers were dying of starvation because women pre-, ferred ready-made gowns, to-day there exists in more than one big store a department of home dressmaking. Hearn's is the one we happened to hear about. Here the amateur brings her blue serge and her tissue paper pattern. A keen-eyed young woman initiates her into the mysteries of perforations and "the straight of the goods." Trusting implicitly in this repository of wisdom the novice joyously hacks away at the most precious material, and lo! in six lessons the gown emerges. After all, there is a certain satisfaction in the creation of one's own intelligence, be it a poem, a bridge, an angel cake, or a blue serge dress. Unless the experts are prepared to argue that all women can write better poetry than they can make dresses, they had better keep away from that circle of proud countenances behind the cutting tables in the department store. F FAMILY jewels are no longer slackers in safety deposit vaults.: Wedding presents, long inactive in the dining room cabinet and the spare bedroom, are turned into bayonets and bacon for the soldiers in trenches. This has been made possible by the farsighted¬ ness of one jeweller, Wyler, of 601 Fifth Avenue, who has sent out 50,000 announcements to his patrons explaining the plan by which old gold, silver and jewels can be converted into Liberty bonds. One woman sent in a trunk containing $2,000 worth of duplicate wedding presents. Another had an equally valuable lot of family silver, bequeathed her by her grandmother. , None of these people would have sold such possessions in ordi-: nary times. The call for Liberty bonds, however, sounds louder than family tradition or sentimental pride. After one has bought all the Liberty bonds he can on his bank account and expectations, there is: always the attic. Go to it. Mr. Wyler's proposition appeals to persons who have antiques valuable for workmanship as well as for their bullion value. In this he differs from the old metal market, which was opened by a committee of New York City suffragists last summer'and is soon io be reopened for the sale of war savings stamps and Liberty bonds. They sell only on the bullion value of old gold and silver and allow no claim for work¬ manship. Owners of valuable articles have been advised by the women themselves not to turn them in for bullion, but io sell in second-hand jewel markets. There has been, undoubtedly, an enormous quantity of old gold and silver turned in to this shop.broken cups and odd cuff buttons and silver plate of an unusual pattern. If you have something too fine to melt, however, or diamonds, which won't melt, and you feel that you must buy another bond, take them all to Mr. Wyler and he will act as broker for you in the jewel market, where the articles will be sold on their merits. TIME was when pilgrims proved their devotion by offerings of rarest ointments, frankincense and myrrh, jewels and finest fleeces. To¬ day it is the paradox of war that one's loyalty to all that is best in-the -v.orld is measured by one's willingness to get along with substitutes. We always resented the classic stories of devout souls who sold their goods to buy jewels for the altars of their gods. It is pleasant to be justified to-day by knowing that true patriotism does not require such sacrifices. We can wear a Red Cross pin that costs $t and be fully jewelled. We. can wear shoddy blue serge and be patriotically gowned.' And now the last item on the list comes to the hour of its adulteration. Olive oil is no more.that is to say, it is no more than $5 a two-quart can. There was an unusually abundant harvest of olives in Italy this year, but that avails nothing in times like these. There was no one to bavest the crop. Pietro and Amato were up in the Alps, defending the ice trenches. Angelo and Paáquale were patrolling the Adriatic Sea, watching for Austrian submarines. Who thought of olives? The crop was neither garnered nor pressed. It is therefore the duty of all good Americans and true tu mix their .salad dressing with cottonseed or peanut oil. Nor will it detract from the purity of the fervor with which we make this patriotic sacrifice to know that we have probably been doing it all along unwittingly For there was once a chemist at high salary who whispered that he earned that salary just by selecting those grades of cottonseed oil that would stand shipment to Italy and a return to this country as high grade imported Italian olive oil. That was before the law of honest advertising went into effect. Now the best dealers boast of the fact that they sell only "American made" olive oil.

'-. Copeland announced that sixhospitals, the Municipal LodgingHouse, on East Twenty-sixth Street.anti the hospital ship Riverside had;been commandeered, either wholly or.in part, to establish wards for the ex-.elusive treatment of the increasing1number of influenza victim?. It is tosupply the nurses for these new
emergency wards that the plea fortrained workers has been sent out.
"Please make it clear that we heeda'; the nurses we can tret," said Com¬missioner Copeland. "We want -grad¬uate nurses, nurses' aids, all wom¬en who have ever studied nursing anda who think they can n«irse.
Need Nurses Badly"We need them badly; let there be
n- doubt about that. 1 was asked bya personal friend to get a nurse fora relative, ami, with all the power ofthis office and my hospital connec¬
tions, 1 have not been able to get a
single one in twenty-four hours. Thatis the situation tiow."These nurses will De paid a fair:
wage, and will not bo expected tovolunteer their services. In additionto those who will come here Sundaymorning, 1 am making a canvass oftho town to find, through various so¬
cial agencies, women who used to donursing in «irder to urge them tocome out for this special occasionand let us have the benefit of then-experience and training."
It. the country at large the spreadoi the disease took on alarming pro¬portion-: yesterday, it. was reportedfrom Washington. Roth in the citiesand army cantonments the number ofnew esses was larger than during- anypreceding twenty-four hours. Deaths.-.' camps totaled 053, an increase of3i«0 over Friday, and 2,141 new pneu¬monia case-; were reported, an increaseof 390.

Word was received by the AmericanTied Cross that the epidemic is undercontrol at ("amp Devens. Massachusetts.I util recently conditions here were;more serious than at any other camp.Church services in Washington will
be suspended to-day, to check thespread of the disease, it was announced.Twenty-seven deaths were reportedthere, the largest, number since thespread of the contagion.

the storm centre of representatives of«very business affected by Dr. Cope-land's closing and opening schedule, allanxious to cooperate in the movementto lessen subway congestion throughthis means, but many were in doubt as
to the exacfapplication of the ordei tothen'.
Change in Hours
The large department stores sent a
committee early in the day to see Com¬missioner Copeland. As the result ofa friendly conference with him thelours allotted to them were changed,so that they will open nt 9:45 in themorning and close at 6:15, instead ofthrowing 'operi their doors at 8 and«losing at I, as stated in the originalorder. he order, in genera!, remains:as it was -riven out.
Marc Klaw, of the theatrical tirin ofKlaw A- Erlanger, telephoned Dr. Cope-land he and the other theatrical man¬
agers would give the heartiest cooper¬ation to the plan. Dr. Copeland as-
sured Mr. Klaw it was not his purposeto stop matinee performances, whichv ill be given at the usual time. Thefirst night performances of the "mov¬ies" in the district from Fourteenth toFifty-ninth Street will be moved alteadii half-hour, from 7:30, as at present.to 7 o'clock.
At the offices of tit« Interboróughy« ;t.erda j it was said the effect of tini.»:v, order would not be felt until Mon¬day, as Saturday was a half-holiday inthe downtown district anyway. Theorder was effective not yesterday morn¬

A Real Liberty Loan ArgumentBy Lieutenant Grantland Rice
(Formerly sports writer for The Tribune.I SAW him lying by the roadside, in the wake of the Amcri-¦ can advance just beyond Fère-en-Tardenois.
He was lying face downward, the vim of his steel helmetburied in the mud. A heavy rain was still falling, but it hadnot yet completely erased the writing on a letter he bad carried.
The letter was from his mother. It expressed the wish andthe hope that he "was well and dry and safe"; that he Xvashappy and would soon be back, as they were thinking of nothingelse but his return. "Your daddy," she wrote, "sits by the fireat night and refuses to talk of anything but you and of the dayyou'll be back with us again."
"Well.and dry.and safe".with the rain beating on him,face downward in the mud.and a bullet hole through the topof his steel helmet. But he had fallen toward Germany.
He was only one of the many who had made the greatsacrifice. His father and mother were only a small part of themany who had made the greater sacrifice.
The. question left is a simple one: How many of these havedied and are going to die in vain because the people back homecouldn't raise the money to crush the military power that madesuch things possible?
Aged Women Newsdealer IsNew Target for Hearst AgentsVender Who Refused to Handle "Americans" Finds Stand
Picketed by "Strong Arm" Crew, but Her CustomersStand By Her.Other Attacks Fail
Unable to make any headway against!the newsboys who are fighting to es¬
cape from the control of the Hearstpublications, Hearst agents have nowswitched their campaign to a woman.Mrs. Mary Taylor, who for many yearshas sold papers at the Municipal Build¬ing, is the latest vender to be pickedfor their attentions.
Mrs. Taylor's offence lies in refus¬ing to sell "Americans," and by selling"Tribunes" about the Brooklyn Bridgeforcing Hearst agents to the limit oftheir activities. In retaliation theyare said to have threatened to put herout of business. As a means towardthis end a group of lively youngsterspicket her afternoon stand in an at¬tempt to get her trade away from her.
Echo of Former AttackThis group is led by a fellow who
the newsboys say is the same personwho a few weeks ago assaulted theaged newsdealer, Levitt, in City HallPark after he had declared he had no
"Americans" in the bundle he was
carrying to his Thirty-third Streetstand and did not propose to carry any.The leader of this crowd was not to befound when the police searched forhim. but has returned to his hauntswithin the last week.Andrew Stanton. president of the
Newsboys' Union, assured Mrs. Tayloryesterday that the union would standby her and tha.t she could depend uponpolice protection if necessary.
Cite Enright's Promise."Commissioner Enright will not
stand for gang work," he told her, "andCaptain Hanna of this precinct won'tcither."
"I am not afraid of the 'strongarms'," Mrs. Taylor said. "What I amafraid of is disorder about the stand.My regular customers would buy of

total 155
mo if til ere were fifty of the rowdiesabout. The danger is that some ofthese customers will resent, the at¬tempts of these fellows to interfereand knock them spinning and I don'twant any fighting around here.
".Some good union man who's got aboy or a brother in France is just aslikely as not to swart one of them forpushing a 'Journal' in his face."With the death lists coming back
and folks with relatives over theredreading to see the sight of a mes¬senger boy coming up the block, forfear he's bringing bad news, you can'tblame them much for being nervous."
With one exception, the groups usedin the effort to intimidate male news¬dealers into abandoning the figjit onHearst have been called off. The oneexception is the group that has beentrying to injure the business of MarkMoscowitz, the president of the HarlemNewsdealers' Association. This groupis intermittently on duty, but is makingno headway.
the same period the day before. Man¬hattan has 996 of the new cases. TheBronx 294, Brooklyn 579. Queens 59and Richmond 142.The deaths reported from influenza
were sixty-one, against forty-two theday before, divided as follows: Fifteenm Manhattan, thirteen i-n The. Bronx,twenty-seven in Brooklyn, four ¡nQueens and two in Richmond. Thecieaths from pneumonia numberedninety-nine yesterday, against eighty-four Friday; thirty-four in Manhattan,seventeen in The Bronx, forty-five inBrooklyn, one in Queens and two inRichmond."This is a little increase over the
day before, and far smaller than Ilooked for," said Dr. Copeland. "Halfof the cases are in 800 home*, showingthe epidemic is well confined. Onehome I know of had twelve cases.There wer» 8,000 cases in all, butbecause of the rapid recoveries I esti¬mate there are about 5.000 cases inthe city at present. That is an epi¬demic, of course, but T do not considerthat serious in a. city of 0.000,000people."
Cincinnati Closes AllGathering Places
CINCINNATI, Oct. 5..A sweepingorder closing all schools, moving pict¬ure theatres, regular theatres, Sundayschools, the University of Cincinnati,churches and all places where peopleare accustomed to congregate, eitherindoor or outdoor, was made here to¬day by the Board of Health. The or¬der followed reports from practicallyall physicians in this city, which dis¬played the fact that there were ap¬proximately 4,000 cases of influenzahere.The order ¡s to go into effect at
midnight to-night.Only two deaths from influenza and
twelve from pneumonia have occurredin this city during the last week, but135 new cases of influenza put in an
appearance this morning at the cityhospitals and thirty-five at Cincin¬nati University. An immediate pollof the city's physicians resulted.
At Fort Thomas, Ky., across theriver, a partial quarantine has beeninaugurated. The schools and movingpicture theatres have been orderedclosed, and the citizens and soldierswarned not to congregate in greatnumbers.
1,480 New Cases inPhiladelphia in Day
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.There isno abatement in the epidemic of in-fluenzu in this city. At noon the re¬
port for the preceding twenty-fouihours showed 245 deaths and 1,4S0new cases, an increase of "42 over yes¬terday's report. It was explained thatsome of these were belated reports ofcases developing earlier in the week,but only reported to-day.
Dining the week there «ver«' 1.191deaths from all causes, the highest«loath rate in the history of the city.The authorities estimate seventy-fiveper cent due to influenza. In the cor¬responding! week last yea)' 405 deathswove reported.A prominent victim of influenza in
Camden. N, .T., was the Rev. Paul Mil¬ler, pastor of Parkside sí, E. Church.who died in n hospital. Harry S.3coveT. former prosecutor of Camdeni Count} and a member of the Leçisla-
ture, died at his home in Haddonfield,N. J., of the disease.Camden and the adjoining city of
Gloucester to-day followed the ex¬ample of Philadelphia and closed allsaloons.
Boston Votes $50,000 forInfluenza "Shack" HospitalBOSTON'. Oct. 5. The expenditureof -S50,000 to erect temporary buildingsin various parts of the slate to house
influenza patients was authorized to¬day by the Emergency Public HealthCommittee, after word had been re¬ceived that the supply of'tents wasexhausted. The tirst of these build¬ings, which members of the committeedescribe as small shacks, will be putup at once in outlying sections of thiscity and in Taunton.
Dr. Bernard W. Carey, state epidemi¬ologist, said conditions throughout thestate to-dav were unchanged. Xoon re¬ports from eighty-one cities and townsoutside of Boston showed 5,570 newtases of influenza in the past twenty-four hours, with ÍJOl deaths.

Shops and ThingsIF YOU LIKE to muse before a wide brick fireplace, where a smoke-
blackened kettle swings from an antique crane and the baby's cradlerocks on a bit of blue rag carpet; if you find it restful to Linger wherethe soft light from homespun curtains softens the twentieth century
giare, and the rows of dull pewter send back as dim a reflection fromKdis.on'a bulbs as once they caught from great-grandmother's hand-,dipped candles; if you want a few minutes' chat on a faded sofa with theserene spirits that haunt a grandfather's clock and a mahogany highboy.then wander some afternoon into the Wallace Nutting gallery at Wana-maker's. i
Here are the treasures gathered in years of loving search throughthe attics of faraway homesteads in hills of old New England. Theywere used by the artist to furnish his series of Colonial houses, where heposed those- quaint, spinners and spinnet players for the famous Nuttingphotographs. Now the photographs are all taken and the collection is tobe scattered.
We permit ourselves the sentimental hope that in their new settingsthese venerable highboys and fourposter beds are destined to carry on
the fine traditions of their past. It is not only that they had their originin stately times, but recently they have been instrumental in the makingof one of the most appealing life stories that we know.
Wallace Nutting was a worn-out clergyman,"They turned me to grass," he tells it now with a smile, "and I found
I liked the grass. 1 began to take pictures of it."The grass, literally, was apple blossoms. Everybody knows tho.se
dainty bits of orchard, clothed in pink, bending over the crumbling stonewalls, where the clergyman stopped his nag and imprisoned spring in hiscamera. .
When the apple blossoms faded the loving camera penetrated into'the backyards of the rambling white farmhouses behind the orchardwalls, and from 1 he backyards it sought the old-fashioned kitchen, withits hanging crane and its kerchiefed Housewife. Here, alas, the questfailed. Horrible (to the artist's eye) iron stoves and pine .'hairs hadtaken the place of the old Colonial furniture, and the present mis¬tresses, even of the most dignified old houses, bought their butterready-made'and had relegated the old churn to the woodshed. Mr. Nut-:ting was compelled to buy beautiful bits of furniture wherever he couldand set up his own Colonial interiors to photograph.
in the doing of this he amassed a fortune, which lovers of New Eng-,land will never grudge him, nor will those who admire the fine talc offsuccess gathered from failure.
rr-M-IE efficiency experts tell us that the day of home dressmaking is| past.that the modern woman knows by bitter experience that it is
cheaper in the end to buy the more expensive ready-made gowns,and that her most painstaking and dainty stitches count for nothingagainst the swagger that comes from scientific cutting and a swift powermachine.
We know by heart the arguments about the necessity for specializationin modern life. No one woman should attempt to be a cook, a nurse, an
educator, a dressmaker and milliner, a doctor, interior decorator and an
inspiration to her husband all in the same lifetime. We have yieldedalready to the community breadmaker, the steam laundry and the factorypickle. We arc tightening our lips against the near day when we shalltome to the community kitchen and day nursery.
Nevertheless the great god economy holds most of us in his swaystill. Tell a woman that she can make a dress herself for $20, when thesame thing costs $29 in the shops, and all the fine theories fly out of thewindow. Tell her that it is patriotic to release men tailors for militaryservice.or at least for the making of military uniforms.and she willstitch her fingers black in the making of her winter suit.
So it is that in spite of the dark days not long since, when we heardthat all the dressmakers were dying of starvation because women pre-,ferred ready-made gowns, to-day there exists in more than one big storea department of home dressmaking. Hearn's is the one we happened tohear about. Here the amateur brings her blue serge and her tissue paperpattern. A keen-eyed young woman initiates her into the mysteries ofperforations and "the straight of the goods."
Trusting implicitly in this repository of wisdom the novice joyouslyhacks away at the most precious material, and lo! in six lessons the gownemerges. After all, there is a certain satisfaction in the creation of one'sown intelligence, be it a poem, a bridge, an angel cake, or a blue serge dress.Unless the experts are prepared to argue that all women can write betterpoetry than they can make dresses, they had better keep away from thatcircle of proud countenances behind the cutting tables in the departmentstore.
FFAMILY jewels are no longer slackers in safety deposit vaults.:Wedding presents, long inactive in the dining room cabinet andthe spare bedroom, are turned into bayonets and bacon for the
soldiers in trenches. This has been made possible by the farsighted¬ness of one jeweller, Wyler, of 601 Fifth Avenue, who has sent out50,000 announcements to his patrons explaining the plan by which oldgold, silver and jewels can be converted into Liberty bonds.
One woman sent in a trunk containing $2,000 worth of duplicatewedding presents. Another had an equally valuable lot of family silver,bequeathed her by her grandmother.
, None of these people would have sold such possessions in ordi-:nary times. The call for Liberty bonds, however, sounds louder thanfamily tradition or sentimental pride. After one has bought all theLiberty bonds he can on his bank account and expectations, there is:always the attic. Go to it.
Mr. Wyler's proposition appeals to persons who have antiquesvaluable for workmanship as well as for their bullion value. In thishe differs from the old metal market, which was opened by a committeeof New York City suffragists last summer'and is soon io be reopenedfor the sale of war savings stamps and Liberty bonds. They sell onlyon the bullion value of old gold and silver and allow no claim for work¬manship. Owners of valuable articles have been advised by the womenthemselves not to turn them in for bullion, but io sell in second-handjewel markets.
There has been, undoubtedly, an enormous quantity of old gold andsilver turned in to this shop.broken cups and odd cuff buttons andsilver plate of an unusual pattern.
If you have something too fine to melt, however, or diamonds,which won't melt, and you feel that you must buy another bond, takethem all to Mr. Wyler and he will act as broker for you in the jewelmarket, where the articles will be sold on their merits.
TIME was when pilgrims proved their devotion by offerings of rarestointments, frankincense and myrrh, jewels and finest fleeces. To¬day it is the paradox of war that one's loyalty to all that is best in-the-v.orld is measured by one's willingness to get along with substitutes.We always resented the classic stories of devout souls who sold theirgoods to buy jewels for the altars of their gods. It is pleasant to bejustified to-day by knowing that true patriotism does not require suchsacrifices.We can wear a Red Cross pin that costs $t and be fully jewelled.We. can wear shoddy blue serge and be patriotically gowned.' And nowthe last item on the list comes to the hour of its adulteration. Oliveoil is no more.that is to say, it is no more than $5 a two-quart can.There was an unusually abundant harvest of olives in Italy this
year, but that avails nothing in times like these. There was no one tobavest the crop. Pietro and Amato were up in the Alps, defendingthe ice trenches. Angelo and Paáquale were patrolling the AdriaticSea, watching for Austrian submarines. Who thought of olives? Thecrop was neither garnered nor pressed.
It is therefore the duty of all good Americans and true tu mixtheir .salad dressing with cottonseed or peanut oil. Nor will it detractfrom the purity of the fervor with which we make this patriotic sacrificeto know that we have probably been doing it all along unwittinglyFor there was once a chemist at high salary who whispered thathe earned that salary just by selecting those grades of cottonseed oilthat would stand shipment to Italy and a return to this country as highgrade imported Italian olive oil. That was before the law of honestadvertising went into effect. Now the best dealers boast of the fact thatthey sell only "American made" olive oil.
