(Special to The Nassau Post.) ALBANY, April :!li.--One of the most alarming bits of sanitary news whlcll reaches us from the war area in Europe is that typliua fever is raging in Serbia. This deadly pestil¬ ence of olden times ha.s almost disap¬ peared from civillzod countries in times of peace, and is a striking ex¬ ample of the relation between clean¬ liness and liealth. Typlioid fever was once confused Willi typhus fever and when it was recognized as a dif¬ ferent disease it was named typh-oid because it was like the more common and more deadly scourge. Typhus fever used also to be called "camp fever" and "jail fever" because It raged so terribly under the unsani¬ tary conditions whicii prevailed in Bucli places.
Cases of this diseasi> are likely to reach our ports durlns the coming months, but the officers at New York and other quarantine stations will bo on their guard and it is unlikely that infected or verminoiiij persons can pass tlieir barriers. The fait that so terrible a disease is spread In such way is, howey^r, an illustration of the value of the work done by school inspectors and school nurses in tho exclusion of children. who«e condi¬ tions make them a danger to their fellows .and in their e(luf*ation in the habits of personal cleanliness upon wliich we rely to keep America free from fllth disease.

RECKLESS DRIVEIIS RAISE op RtlE
REPORT OF PROTECTIVE SOCIETY SHOWS BIG INCREASE IN THE DEATH RATE DUE TO GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS.—"STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!"
The report of hlgliway railroad grade crossing accidents for the year 1914. just issued by the National Highways Protective Society, shows that in N'ew York State during the past yoar there were litu persons kill¬ ed and l.'il! peraons seriously injured. Tlie number of fatalities that oiciir- rod on tlio Long Island Railroad is 23.
Tlio most notewdrtliy fact in the roport Is that there were no fatal accl- dontH to trolley passengers at high¬ way railroad grade crossings during the years l!tl3 and I HI 4. largely due to the Stato law whicii compels trolley cars to lie stopped at oach crossing, and the motorman nmst bt> assured that the way is clear before proceed¬ ing. Undoiibiedly, if a law similar lo this was enacted so as to apply to drivers of automohiios and wagotiK, sixty-six porsons wotild not liavo heen killed last year while attempting to cross a railroad at grade.
The rojiort further slates: "Many .i^rado (Tossing accidents are iinilotilit- e'lly duo to the gross carelessness and recklessness of the virUnis. Drivers of atitomobties and carriages are oiHially al fault in driving rapidly on to the track in deflance of (ho most oloniontal procaiitioii.s. 'i'he railroads have many records of motor car driv¬ ers tiiat ill their iiisaiio haste to gain a few seconds timo have even dashed ;!iri)\igh gates and past lluKiiioii that wore there for their protection. No one was over hurt at a crossing 'who followed tho printed injunction lo "Stop! Look! and Listen!" .somo var¬ iant of which is prominoiitiy display- oil at each.
BIG ORDER FOR AEROPLANES.
Further deiails of the large orders, amounting to $4,000,000, placed by European agents for American aero¬ planes lias been given out by Honry Woodhouse, publisher of Flying and Aerial Age.
Latest of the Allies' orders for aero¬ planes are those placed with the Hein¬ rich Company, of Baldwin, to the amount of $200,000, This company produces a standard type of inilitary tractor, b'Plane which has been dem¬ onstrated at Hempstead Plains for numerous European military ofllcers in the last month, with the new Gyro 110-horsepowcr engine, the flrst American rotary air-cooled motor. This motor ia now undergoing fur¬ ther tests in the laboratory of the Automobile Club of America. It wlll probably bo installed In the biplanes ordered from the Heinrich Company. The machines are to be delivered dur¬ ing May and June. The company Is enlarging its plant, and has recently purchased the Han%e property in Freeport.
To Idcense Brokers.
A bill will be introduced into the next legislature to amend the real property law in relation to the crea¬ tion of the real eetate comnHsslsslon and the registering of aii real estate brokers In New York State.
The bill. It is said, will give to the publlc protection, creates a commis¬ sion, wiith practically no expense to the State, and puts a revenue Into the State Treasury over and above the cost of tbe commission.
No radical legislation is desired, simply a small registration fee of $10. Certain qualifications wlll be required as to ability and honesty, before a real estate broker wlll be granted permleslon to carry on his work in the State. Tbe propoeed bill Is boln^ favorably received.

Tlio functions of a lieadliglit are two-fold: ( U to onable tho driver to soo the coiirs" of tho road, and (2) to reveal to him the presence of other vehicles upon it.

ALBANY, April :!li.--One of the most alarming bits of sanitary news whlcll reaches us from the war area in Europe is that typliua fever is raging in Serbia. This deadly pestil¬ ence of olden times ha.s almost disap¬ peared from civillzod countries in times of peace, and is a striking ex¬ ample of the relation between clean¬ liness and liealth. Typlioid fever was once confused Willi typhus fever and when it was recognized as a dif¬ ferent disease it was named typh-oid because it was like the more common and more deadly scourge. Typhus fever used also to be called "camp fever" and "jail fever" because It raged so terribly under the unsani¬ tary conditions whicii prevailed in Bucli places. Cases of this diseasi> are likely to reach our ports durlns the coming months, but the officers at New York and other quarantine stations will bo on their guard and it is unlikely that infected or verminoiiij persons can pass tlieir barriers. The fait that so terrible a disease is spread In such way is, howey^r, an illustration of the value of the work done by school inspectors and school nurses in tho exclusion of children. who«e condi¬ tions make them a danger to their fellows .and in their e(lufation in the habits of personal cleanliness upon wliich we rely to keep America free from fllth disease.
