.DR. DIXON SPEAKS ON
HEALTH CONDITIONS
Discusses the Outbreaks at DAM
vile and Erie Where State
Officers Are at Work

Commissioner of Health Samuel G..
Dixon, when interviewed relative to
the present epidemic of infantile par
alysis at Erie which is alarming the
residents of that city, said:
"Poliomyelitis has been known to
the medical profession of the world
since 1870, and in America since 1896.
Epidemics of considerable size have
being reported at varying intervals
throughout the North Temperate Zone
from 1887 to the present time, the first
great outbreak in this country occur
ring in Vermont in 1894. Serious and
tar-reaching epidemics occurred in the
United States in 1910 and subsequent
ly. Pennsylvania had an epidemic of
neary two hundred cases in the vi
clnity of Dubois and EauClaire, Ridg-
way and Oil City in 1907, a small out
break in the vicinity of Gettysburg in
1908 and a Statewide outbreak in
1910, including a total of more than
1000 cases.
The disease is sudden and insid-
ious in onset, accompanied by diges-
tive disturbances, slight fever and Of
ten considerable stupor. red rash ap-
pearing in some instances. The aver
age case without appearing to be very
sick at any time is only diagnosed
about four or five days later when
paralysis occurs.
With the successful inoculation of
monkeys in 1910 by virus from the
brains or spinal cords secured from
children dead of the disease. new in
terest was aroused and since then re-
search workers in all parts of the
world have sought the cause.
The causative factor is so small
that it will pass readily through the
best of filters any may be found best
with dark field microscopes of great
magnification. In the department. S
research laboratories we have often
transmitted infection from monkey to
monkey. How it is transmitted from
man to man is still in doubt, al
though much evidence has accomu-
lated that would point the finger of
suspicion toward biting insects.
1T is we'll to disinfect all dwellings
at the conclusion of the disease with
both formaldehyde gas and with sui
phur sulphur to insure destruction of
insect life; and If stables are near, to
have them thoroughly disinfected and
put in sanitary condition. Damp
houses should be thoroughly dried out
with heat"

MANAGER JACK DUNN
FAVORS HARRISBURG
Would Like to Play His Team at
Island Park Next
Season

Manager Jack Dunn. of Richmond.
is ready to boost Harrisburg for In
ternational Leasue baseball next sea-
son. This good news was brought yes
terday by President Frank DeWan, of
the Harrisburg club. There is strong
probability that Richmond will be
transferred to more advantageous
location.
Manager Dunn said during the re-
cent series at Richmond that he was
ready to take up the Harrisburg propo-
sition in case the New York Americans
did not exercise their option on the
Harrisburg club. Rochester and To-
ronto are both lined up for this city.
Manager DeWan said:
Conditions under which Harrisburg
may continue as an International
League city will be outlined some
time during December. What these
conditions will be no one can tell at
this time. They will likely cover plans
for necessary improvements at the
baseball field and coupon book ar
rangements covering part of the ex-
pense. In my opinion there will be no
demands Harrisburg cannot meet"

Scarcity Of Steel Cuts
Down Output of Fords
Special to The Telegraph

New York, Sept. 8. - An extra
ordinary development in the steel stu
alton became known yesterday. Ow-
ing to inability to secure good steel
deliveries, production of the Ford
Motor Company. during July and
August was cut down from a normal
capacity of 1000 cars daily to about
800 cars a day. With this condition
applying to the Ford company, it was
thought in the trade that other auto
mobile manufacturers were doubtless
experiencing similar conditions.
The United States Steel Corporation
will issue on Friday it's August ton-
mage statement. Little If any increase
in the amount of untitled tonnage on
September l is looked for.
