guests, is so constructed that it
could be flooded with water and
naval battles staged herein. Prac-
tically every type of sport, game
an system of torture has at one
time or another been staged here.
One reads often oft he old chival-
rous days when the gladiators con-
tested there. The fate of their
conquest, whether it be victory or
defeat, was decided by the vote of
the Vestal Virgins, who as far as
history can prove, first incorporat-
ed the idea of “thumbs down” for
dejection and “thumbs up” for
approval. In the lower arches the
trap doors still remain where the
wild beasts were let into the
arena at the time of Christian
martyrdom. Tickets to these
famous events were made of iv-
ory and bone. Years later, in
commemoration of such sacrifice,
the Passion Play was regularly
presented there. Still, during
Holy Week, special services are
held here. On both the left and
right sides of the Coliseum are
Imperial Gates. This was made i
ncessary since after construction j
the Imperial box was moved to
the opposite side of the arena in f
order that it might be connected j
with the Emperor’s Palace by a [
subterranean passage. The plebian
sect'on of the Coliseum was at
the extreme top. To the left of
the building, as we exit, is the
old Aqueduct and the famous Ro-
man Baths.

The control of typhoid fever is
public health achievement number
one. The death rate from this
disease was reduced by over 90
] er cent during the period, and
has dropped front a leading posi-
tion to one of very minor impor-
tance. The greatest saving of
life, however, has resulted from a
reduction in the death rate front
tubreculosis, because of the ex-
cessively high rate prevalent years
ago. During the period 1911-
1915 the tuberculosis death rate
wag 22-1 per 100,000. This was
reduced by 1931-1935 to G7 per
100,000, and it will be only a lit-
tle more than 50 per 100,000 for
1937. |
In percentage decline of mor-
ality, the causes of death having
the best records next after ty-1
phoid were malaria with a de-
cline of 87.8 per cent, diphtheria,
87.2; diarrhea and enteritis, 82.7
measles, 77; whooping cough,
71.7; tuberculosis, 79.2; and scar-
let fever, G9.2.
The outstanding improvement
in the diphtheria death rate, the
statisticians explain, is a reflccton
of the success attending wide-
spread measure taken to suppress
the disease.
There has been some dispute
as to the connection between cir- j
ihosis of the liver and alcoholism,
but however this may be, the sta-
lates are concerned. Cirrhosis of
the liver declined 58.3 per cent,
and alcoholism 52.5 per cent.
During the 25-year period, mor-
tality from accidental and un-
specified violence exclusive ot
automobile accidents was cut in
half. If automobile accidents had
been included, the decline wotj'd
have been only 25 per cent.
Puerperal diseasts exhibited a
decline of 47.3 per cent in the
death rate per 100,000 during
the 25-year peroid. Regarding
this the statisticians remark:
“Although a large part of the
decrease in mortality from puer-
pueral diseases is dQe to the faii
in the birth rate, it is also true
that in more recent years the ac-
tual risk of maternity has really
decreased.”
There has been a drop of 44.2
per cent in the influenza and
pneumonia death rate for the 25-
year period, and present indica
tios are that the widesread use of
serum theray will result in a fur-
ther reduction of the death toll
for pneumonia.
