Disease Spread
by Dirty Streets
Sanitary Experts Urge English Giles
to Adopt Stringent Anti
Splitting Bylaw.
Especial Dispatch.)

LONDON, August ..
HE methods by which disease is
spread by the unthoughtful were ex-
planned by Dr. Morley Mathicson at
the Sanitary Congress. held this year at
Exeter
Visitors to London. especially Americans
are OFTEN Disguised by the Objectionable
haDit or the lower classes. and even of
those who ought to know better, of splitting
in the streets. 1t not infrequently happens
That passersby on the sidewalks find
themselves spat upon. not wiIfully, per-
haps. but carclessy, by passengers on
omnibuses.
1t was this habit of splitting that DR..
Mathicson took for his subject. There are
rev circumstances that necessitate
habituai splitting" he said. Tobacco
smoking, for example, ought not to call
for it.
While the most common infection dis
tributed is that of tuberculosis, 1t is we'll
known that casual organisms Of many
other diseases. such as pneumonia and
cerebro-spinal meningitis, can be sim
ilarly spread. The part played by In
discriminate splitting In the one disease
OF consumption is, however. sufficient
illustration of the need of compulsory
control.
THE majority seem to regard habitual
splitting as natural and necessary and OBJ
serve neither care in the manner Of dis
posal nor anything approaching privacy in
the act. Splitting here. there and every
where is regarded as prerogative by the
freeborn Briton."

HAS LONG HUNT
FOR BABY BUFFALO
Walks -Four Miles in the First
Three Hours Of Life

Allentown, Pa, April 21.-The herd
of buffaloes in Colonel Harry G. Trek
ler's game park along the Jordan,
which was started three years ago
with three animals, has been increased
by the arrival of two baby buffaloes
during the past week, to twelve.
The first one of the new arrivals
was born last Wednesday, making the
eleventh in the herd, and it was the
first time that the gamekeepers were
aware of such an event. The head
gamekeeper telephoned to Colonel
Trexler in Allentown, and Immediately
Mrs. Trexler started for the game
park. She got there within an hour,
and it took several hours more to find
the young animal.
Baby as it was, the young buffalo
Immediately found it's legs and, swim
ming the Jordan, joined the main
herd. When it was three hours OLD,
Mrs. Trexler. after a strenuous hunt,
found the youngster four miles from
the place where it was born. AS her
automobile neared the young buffalo
the rest of the herd surrounded it and
made a hostile demonstration.
That baby buffalo only three hours
old should have travelled four miles
caused wonderment. But Colonel Trek
Ter, as a naturalist, was able to ex-
plain that buffalo calf was the only
animal known that could proceed on
its feet as soon as born.
