A BOOMING BUSINESS.

The manufacture of automobiles
in this country is an industry that
seems to be passing through the try
ing period without skidding, backfire
or puncture of a tire. Not only are
large orders being placed for trucks
for war purposes by the belligeTent
governments. but the democratic de
mand for machines keeps up: The
continuance OF the home demand for
automobiles, when the demand for
many other articles has decreased, is
attributed mostly 10 the fact that the
manufacturers OF automobiles have
not been much affected by the scare
and have kept up their advertising
and sales activities. They have acted
as though nothing had happened,
and nothing has happened to them.
Among the interesting figures
given by a Detroit banker at the
American Bankers association meet
ing at Richmond. Va. was the fact
that there are 100000 automobiles
in use I'm this country. with an APP
proximate figure of 100000 cars for
the next u months production. to be
sold by Is, 500 dealers.
He said there are $50 listed manu-
facturers OF motor vehicles, includ-
ing 10 making gasoline pleasure
cars. 245 commercial gasoline cars,
II cycle cars. 81 motor fire appara-
tus. IS electrical pleasure cars and
"a electric commercial vehicles.
He showed that exports last yaer
were S34.5OO.OOO; that Al per cent
OF the cost OF an automobile IS in
the labor: that future markets lie
not alone in the farming districts
and the middle classes. who can af-
ford the Iow-maintenance cost OF the
present-day models, but that the for
eign countries must buy a large
number OF American-made cars In the
future.

Der is that a child, sick with scarlet
fever who is thoroughly isolated, does
not transmit the disease. This isola
ton must be carried out for a mini
mum period of six weeks or longer il
the mucous membranes of the nose
and throat are not thoroughly healed
by that time. Safe and thorough iso-
lation in the home, however, is rather
difficult to accomplish and is usually
impossible in over crowded city dis
tricts.
Our chief reliance, therefore. for pub
lie control of scarlet fever lies first in
the provision for adequate contagious
disease hospitals where all the meas
ures for the isolation of scarlet fever
can be properly carried out; second, in
the prompt reporting by physicians of
scarlet fever cases; third, in provid-
ing a sufficient number of inspectors
and visiting nurses in health depart
ments for the purpose of visiting the
homes where scarlet fever cases occur
and seeing that proper sanitary pre-
cautions in regard to isolation are OBJ
served; and fourth, adequate systems
of medical supervision of school chill
dren; the abolition of the common
drinking cup. the common towel. the
common slate and lead pencil in all
our schools. While the habit of put
ting things in the mouth is instructive
in children, parents should early teach
their children that the only things that
properly belong in the mouth are food
and drink. The danger of such prac-
tees as of putting pencils, coins and
the like in the mouth, exchanging
bites of candy and apples among chill
dren, and similar practices should be
one of the first features of the child's
education.

EMDEN'S FIGHTING CREW

II was hardly to be expected that
the Cruiser Emden could indefinitely
continue her successes against the
shipping of the allies: in truth the
wonder is she escaped the enemies
warships as long as she did. Twenty
two crafts were sunk and a number
of the feats were spectacular and all
but unbelievable in the audacity that
marked their execution.
There perhaps has been nothing
more colorful brought out in the pres
ent war than the operations of this
cruiser and her plucky crew and as
the world loves a fighter, especially
when brains are the directing force,
the plaudits Of the public. regardless
OF national adherence. will not be
withheld from the fighting commander
and his men.
As the Emden fought throughout
the war. so she was fighting when
heavier guns and greater speed served
TO destroy her.
II is doubtful If fiction OF the old
Spanish main carries with II richer
material for the novelist than exists
in cold facts I'm the experiences of the
Emden crew, whom reports indicate
were saved.

Acute anterior poliomyelitis, acute
Inflammation of the forward part OF
the spinal cord, or infantile paralysis
should be called an infectious disease
rather than a nervous disease, but as
il vents itself chiefly upon the ner
vous system we include it in this Sc
ries on the nerves, as we did st. Vitus
dance.
Whether the infection is carried by
stable flies. by house flies, or by hui
man carriers, is not yet known. There
is. however, evidence enough that the
disease is communicable, and it en-
tiers the body through the mucous
membrane of the nose and throat.
How It Begins.
The child, perhaps in good health,
has a feverish, restless night, and
next day seems out of sorts. There
are perhaps indications of a slight
cold" (again the catching cold" de-
fusion works injury to the innocent)
or else a slight sore throat. This
subsidies in 4 day or two, and ap-
parently all is well. Then, several
days later or even after two or three
weeks, the child wakes one morning
and complains of pain or inability
to move a leg or both legs, or an
arm and leg, or both arms and legs.
In some cases the onset is more
fever the first day,
chill. vomiting, maybe diarrhoea.
In any case. there is no way of tell
ing whether the trouble is serious I'M
til the weakness appears in the limbs.
For that matter. no one can predict
how any so-calIed cold" or sore throat
will terminate.
In some instances the onset of in
fantile paralysis is still more severe.
with commissions, and the loss of
power in the muscles becomes appar-

Subsequent Course.
The pain disappears after a few
days. From that time onward tho
groups of muscles become
weaker for a week OF
two. Then there is prolonged

less complete paralysis with little !

Lauder and the Baby.

(CeQar RaplQS RepuDllcan.)
While Mr.. Lauder was singing to
his matinee audience Friday he was
interrupted by the crying of a baby.
That was a test-and he failed to make
good. He "bawled out the mother.
And "a selfish, cruel audience cheered
him. Artists are very sensitive. They
are easily annoyed. But ones atti-
tude toward a baby is more or less
determinative. A gentleman always
makes the best of it. We recall an
incident in the life of the late Senator
Eolliver, a man with a heart as big
as an OK. When a baby set up a cry
ing, to compete with one of his eli
MAKES. he stopped, smiled, and told
humorous story which convulsed his
whole audience in laughter, laughter
so infectious that even the baby be-
gan to laugh with the rest. The baby
forgot to cry again and Mr.. Dolliver
went on with his climax, having drawn
every human heart closer to his own
big heart That was not only tact
and art, but it was greatness Mr.
Lauder might also have taken into
consideration that that mother was
anxious to hear him, and paid her
money-it may have been hard-earned
money-and she may have had no
place to leave her baby. The crying
of her child may have annoyed her
more than IL did the comedian and
there was no use adding to her dis
comfiture, even If she had made a mis-
take to come with a baby. Mr.. Lau-
der. like Mr.. Dolliver, might have gone
on with something else and when the
mother had quieted her little one he
could have gone on with the interrupt |
ed part
