STEWARDS IN CONFERENCES AT

DURING SESSION TO PAC-

NEW YORK. Jan. sl.--There Il
hardly chance Of averting q disas-
trous war among the light harness rae.
ing promoters. This was the concen-
s,is Of opinion among the racing men
Tuesday when they learned that last
nights conference Of the stewards OF
the Grand Circuit had degenerated into
: mere 'gRbfest" and that no effors
was made to give back to Columbus
and Lexington their usual dates. AM
other EFFORT, however. IL TO be made
later on to select series OF dates that
will suit all. The general impression.
however, Ii that there will be rival
meetings In August and September in
q number OF cities.
One new suggestion. put forth by IA.
d. Sheppard. OF Columbus. that the
Grand Circuit racing open In the East,
seemed to please a number OF those
present. Sheppard proposed the fol-
lowing tentative schedule. which will
be discussed by the racing associations:
New York. July to s.. Hartford. 10
to Is; Boston, IL to %. Dover, ~ to
20: Syracuse. August ! to 8: Buffalo
z TO IL. Cleveland. IL to 10: Columbus,
II to IS: Indianapolis, rs 20 September
2; Grand Rapids. to d: Kalamazoo. III
TO rs; Detroit. Is to "a: Columbus. 81
TO 30; Lexington. October to II.
1t was suggested that such an ar
rangement would save horsemen thou
sands of dollars in shipping expenses
alone, as the circuit was laid out aionz
the lines followed by theatrical man
ayers In booking attractions. However,
Syracuse and Detroit's representatives
are roaring loudly. declaring the plan
simply one to benefit several poor To-
calities at the expense OF cities where
light harness racing liz a high class
attraction.
1t II understood another meeting of
the stewards will be called for the near
future, when the entire matter will
again be threshed out.

Bowling Briefs

Whitman, OF the newspaper team
in the Richmond Association Bowling
League, Is around wearing a huge
smile. His team took two games from
the Jewellers Monday night.
Whitman rather expected that to
happen. He had his men down on
the Newport alleys Monday after
noon and gave them a thorough drill
ing, for although Bailey is nominaliy
captain of the team Whitman is the
veteran of the quintet and the anchor
OF the organization.
Quinn, of the Engravers, is not
rolling up to his real form of late.
The pins are not breaking right for
him and Quinn il one of those ner-
vous boys who get careless when they
should have had q strike and did
not get lit.
This sort Of rolling does not pay.
Go after every pin, Is the advice OF the
old timers. II you have a bad break

And every pin counts. A game may
be won or lost by the pin that was
missed through care1essness.

thing without fuss: who never watch

are rolling but have only eyes for

UNCLE SAM DOCTOR-By Frank c. Carpenter

ec look the measles, and third set of monkeys inoculated with their blood took the measles likewise.
 Dangers to School Children
 From these and other cases Dr. Auder- sen finds that tho period of infectivity from measles. as far as the monkey Is concerned, begins about the fourth day after he catches the disease, and that 1t disappears as soon as the eruption has passed away and the temperature If the patient becomes normal. It must be the same with humans, but as 1t Is now, when a child has the measles 1t is kept out of school for something like three weeks. These Investigations show that 12 or 15 days time is all that is necessary. and it is probable that less period would bo safe. The disease Is communicat sd from man to man, or rather from child to child. for it Is to large extent a child's disease, by means of the secretions which come from the nose and mouth. Certain ronkeys which were inoculated with a fluid mixed with these secretions took the measles, and 1t is probable that the contagion comes largely from such secrs- tions. The saliva and other secretions are mixed with the dust of the streets and thus taken into the system. For this reason ct1ldren with the measles should be warned against expectoration.
 Monkey Studies of Infantile Paralysis
 Among others of the recent inyestiga- tion of the hygienic laboratory Is infan- tile paralysis. This dread disease Is like the measles in that it usually attacks lit- tie children. It is a disease of the spine. which paralyzes the child either in part or in certain of its members and which often causes death. In Sweden out of 502 cases of children under Il, 71 died, and in Massachusetts in CPS cases the state board nt health found that 16 per cent of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-19

babies of less than year failed to recov- CT. Among the others, who got partially well, four had two legs paralyzed, and a number had leg, arm and other mem- bers made dead. as it were.
 ]nfantile paralysis Is not q new disease. Evidences of it have been found in an Egyptian mummy which is almost bo0O years old, and it has long existed in En- rope. There have been a number of out breaks of it in various parts of the United States within the past few years. Massa- chusetts had one in 1907, 1908. 1909 and 1910. Michigan one in 1907 and 1908. Penn- sylvania one in 1910. and Oregon, South Dakota and Virginia were afflicted with 1t during that same year. It was in 1910 that it broke out here at Washington. re- sulting in 536 cases and about 16 deaths. The youngest case was only months old and the oldest GA years
 In studying this disease there have been many attempts to give 1t to guinea pigs, rabbits. horses, sheep, dogs, cats, chick ems, ducks and pigs. They have all failed, but 1t has now been discovered that 1t can be given to the monkey, and also a monkey which has had the disease once cannot be given the disease again. It has been found that a serum from the diseased monkeys will arrest the progress of the disease afted it has developed, and monkeys have been vaccinated with thIs and thus made immune. It may be that this vaccination will some day be extended to children.
 Infantile paralysis is found to come from a germ. but this germ is so small that 1t will go through stone filter. The scientists have macerated the spinal cord of mokney having the disease and have passed the water containing this through such a filter. A drop of the water which came from the filter was then injected
