SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.
DR.. Eliot's Statement as to Cases Near
Falls Church.

The smallpox situation in Falls Church,
Va, may be said to be under control. DR..
Llewellyn Eliot of this city, who inspected
conditions in that town at the request of
the health officer, DR.. L. E. Colt, has re-
signed his connection with the case and
the commonwealth of Fairfax county has
taken charge.
Up to date there have been about thirty
cases, confined. with one exception. to me-
groes in the neighborhood of the Gravel
Bank" which is situated about half way
between Dunn Loring and West Falls
Church. None of the cases were found In
Falls Church proper The exception was
that of Miss Staples at West End. and this
is the case that led to the investigation.
DR.. Colt was called in to attend her and
Immediately took steps to prevent a spread
of the disease. The house where she resided
was Quarantined and a rigid quarantine
was instituted and maintained against that
section OF the country known as the Gravel
Bank. The county authorities were some-
what slow in acting, but finally hospital
was secured and all the patients suffering
from smallpox have been placed therein,
under the charge of a physician. All the
effects of those infected were destroyed
and the premises thoroughly disinfected.
DR.. Eliot in his report on the situation
makes a number OF recommendations to the
the manner in which the cases should be
treated, the precautions to be taken
against a spread Of the disease, ETC., and
the whole matter has now been placed in
the hands of the medical board of Fairfax
county by the board of supervisors with
DR.. F. M Brooks as executive officer.
According to reports in Falls Church
most Of the cases have completely recover
ed, there not having been a single fatality
The patients themselves believed their NAL
ady to be chickenpox and did not think It
sufficiently grave to call in a physician.
Only the fact that DIR. Colt was called in to
attend Miss Sta niles cd ba
from gaining a much wider foothoId than
it did.

It is known that the Improvement
in mechanical assistance has. been an
important factor in the reduction Of
the harness record, Even when Lou
Dillon trotted her recent mile in
2:05 to a high-wheeled sulky, in an
attempt to repeat the conditions under
which Maud S. made her record, a
wind shield was used to precede her
wonderful flight. The human sprint
er has had no aid from external APP
pliances-just the same pair of agile
legs, the same kind of lungs and the
same limit Of grit and endurance.
Therefore, if it is fair to cut trotting
records with the help of a shield to
reduce atmospheric resistance, 1t is
just, as reasonable to give the human
record breaker the only mechanical
advantage possible in his specially.
Before Arthur Duffy kicks off his
spiked shoes for the last time, it
would be highly interesting expert
ment to test his speed behind some
sort of q wind break. A pace max
ing automobile, equipped with panel
Of canvas in the rear, given a flying
start on well-rolled cinder track
would furnish the requisite pace and
protection.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 17.-Profes-
sor A. Fl. Pattengill of the Michigan
board of control yesterday replied to
the criticism Of Caspar Whitney, in
which the latter charged that the Ann
Arbor university hires football play
ers. His reply was printed in the coll
lege paper and is as follows: M
In justice to Mr.. Yost, 1t must be
said that the greatest sin we can lay
at his door is that for two seasons he
has led Michigan to victory. He is
a man of good personal habits. He
exercises a wholesome influence over
the young men. under him. We have
never exposed the trouble we have
had with other coaches in the past,
but If the whole. tale were unfolded,
It would give, bylcomparison, a MUCH
hlgher appreciation of Yost's serY-
ices. We have made many Inquiries
and have not heard from any sources
anything to cause uneasiness. As.long
as we retain him.: those in training
under him, will play clean ball."
- Coach Yost-s will. not be here to-
day to see his proteges play against
Indiana. He left yesterday for Min
neapolis, 'ostensibly to make final ar
rangements with Coach Williams for
the Minnesota game, but there is. a
lurking suspicion here that he really
wants to see how the gophers handle
themselves under the new rules
against a team like Iowa, and that
he will be present at that contest this
afternoon.

What he will do as a 6-year-o1d

speculation. r

Billy, first saw the horse last fall at

The preparatory schools must look

it should be. Exeter and Andover
