A THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1922. MUST GUARD AGAINST PLAGUE AND TYPHUS, COPELAND CAUTIONS Tells Old Brooklynites That War on Rats and General Cleanup Are Necessary. Dr. Royal S.

Copeland, Commissioner of Health, told the Society Old Brooklynites last evening, in the Hall of Records, that there is imminent danger of either the bubonic plague or typhus here. He said that he had no desire to appear as an alarmist, but rather to be prepared answer critics in such an emergency. He said that this was an opportune time to tell of these existing dangers, because of "Clean Up Both of these diseases may be offset if the people clean out their cellars and other places where refuse collects or is stored, as it is where the rat, the -bearing vehicle, finds comfort and shelter, said. The speaker gave A general outline of conditions in Europe owing to the ravages of these diseases. the vigilance of the Health Department here has succeeded in fighting both typhus and the plague, Congress has given but scant aid.

"The members of Congress," he said, I appeared before them recently, "were icebergs to my entreaties for aid.

If I had my way, there wouldn't be any men sent to Congress who had not traveled throughout the whole country, and thus become acquainted with its needs, instead of knowing only one particular community." The residents of this City, Dr. land said, should start a war on rats, and also have a continuous "Clean Up Week." He predicted that the boro would be overrun with rats in from 15 to 20 years unless those who either own, control or rent houses do all in their power to exterminate the rodents. He also stated that the housing situation is of much concern to the future health of the community and that if something not done to relieve it soon there will be a demand for the Government to build houses. "We can build houses for monkeys in the parks," he continued, "and why not for babies? The monkey houses are steam -heated, and we never hear any complaint of their being cold. There is no doubt but that the recent measures that passed the Legislature will do some good." He said that owing to the shortage of houses, four married couples and one baby were occupying three rooms in a house in this boro.

Stoddard. HOW TO BECOME "A MASTER MIND" As Mrs. Harriet Luella McCollum mounted the platform of the Hanson Place M. E. Church last night to give her 12th lecture on "Practical Psychology," she was greeted with a burst of applause and a bombardment of papers.

Pamphlets been received at the entrance to the church were torn into bits, newspapers were torn up and tickets announcing class meetings in psychology were all hurled at the speaker while the great crowd which filled every seat of the church and overflowed into the choir loft cheered and applauded. While the excitement was at its height a young woman came to the pulpit and sented Mrs. McCollum with a sheat bouquet of calla lilies and palms. The speaker thanked the audience for the ovation and said that she would rather have them take home the literature they had thrown away and give it to friends if they had no use for it themselves. The lecturer then spoke on the "Master Mind," pointing out that only one Master Mind has ever been on earth so far as history records.

This Master Mind had the power to 'order up entities of forms of life external to A Master Mind who had the power to bid sickness 'be gone' and it disappeared; who could create enough food from a little, or even from nothing, and feed the multitude. In order to become a master mind the speaker declared that we must follow as nearly as possible the Divine Christ, doing what seems to us to be right and a shunning all that which we know to be wrong. "You can tell how far along you are toward a master mind," said Mrs. Mca Collum, "by your aspirations." She then went on to explain that a person far along toward being a master mind loses interest in non -essentials and material things, such as motorcars, fine houses and bank account for a "rainy day." "She declared that thrift was all very well, but to the person following Christ and looking toward a higher life, no fear need be had that a rainy day was in store for him. "Do your level best," concluded the speaker, "that is all that is expected of you.

Trouble is just what you make of it. If you weep and wail and make a big fuss it will loom large. We are all advancing and all will attain mastership. Ultimately all things are possible with any one of us." NEW FLATBUSH HOME SOLD. Bulkley Horton Co.

The members of the Livingston St. A Association were somewhat encourby the announcement made at a meeting last night at Polytechnic Institute in regard to the possibility of better lighting facilities being installed along that thoroughfare soon. Dr. Charles Nathan, president of the association, who presided, stated that it is somewhat surprising to find that there are public officials who stand in the of public improvements, but regardless of that fact he hoped to be able to announce within a short time that the long-awaited action will be taken. At a previous meeting the members decided to advertise, collectively as an experiment, using an entire page of The Eagle to bring public attention to the opportunities offered by the merchants on Livingston st.

and last night several members present stated that they had achieved results. It was decided to continue this method of advertising so that Livingston st. may become one of the important business and shopping centers of the boro.

He who lives on a diet of exaggeration, false reasoning, cant, morbidness, or any other stupidity pays the price in diluted character. To be truly great a newspaper must present the world's news as clearly, impartially, accurately, and fully as is possible. It is not possible to print everything about anything or something about everything. Time and space do not permit. Therefore the two greatest responsibilities the newspaper faces are, first, the daily selection of news according to its value, and second, the presentation of that news.

If a newspaper faces squarely these responsibilities of selection and presentation of news, it has its reward. It is read by people who intend to avoid stupidities and the impoverishment of their minds. New Dork Tribune.
