Whoever in the world started the
superstition, myth, legend, fairy OF
just plain lie, that the best time to
have contagious and infectious dis
eases is during childhood?
Vital statistics can be quoted TO Show
that a vastly greater proportion oI
deaths occur among children having
whooping cough measles, or scarlet
fever, than among adelecent or adults
Children must be protected from
catching these diseases" Not only
must there by quarantine but it must

BIG GUNS IN PLACE
Battery Moved Into Position in
PrOgresO District.
sMOral Restraint on Mexican
Bandits and Smugglers.

Brownsville, Tex, Oct. lone bat
terry of American mountain guns
moved into the Progreso district, thir-
ty-five miles up the Rio Grande, at
daylight today. Its presence served
the purpose of an experiment as to
moral restraint on the bandits Snug
giers and other lawless elements from
Mexico, and of commanding the forti-
fications on the Mexican bank of the
Rio Grande, whence organized raids
have recently been launched into
American territory.
1t was learned today that the re-
Gently esta blished cavalry patrol camp
between here and the mouth of the
Rio Grande has been under surveil-
lance of Mexicans. To screen this
camp from view a hedge of willows
was built in front of the tents After
the hedge was erected the cavalry
men noticed an unusual agitation in
and presently a Mexican fell to the
ground from tree top, having
climbed too high for safety in an ef-
fort to see into the American camp.
Gen. E. p. Nafarrate, Carranza
commander at Matamoras, today,
commenting on reports in the United
States that he is either unable to con-
troll his army or is in sympathy with
attacks on the American side of the
river, said he has arrested to date all
the MeXicans he could find who are
suspected of joining in the alleged re-
volutionary plot against the United
States. General Nafarrate spoke
freely about reports that he is con-
nected with smugglers in this region,
denying any such connection.
American patrols up the river from
here continued today TO receive dis
quieting reports Of preparations by
MeXicanS for crossing the river on
raids The patrols were instructed to
guard all exposed points with the
greatest care. It was one week ago
today that the last raid was made.

MaOr A M. Fuller Takes Credit
for Ford Submarine.
For Twelve Years He Has Been
Working on Invention.
CAN BE HANDLED BY ONE MAN
Smaller and Capable of COnsid-
erabIe More Speed.
His Patent Has Been Taken Up
With Navy Department.

After maintaining a successful si-
lence for more than twelve years in
formation has leaked out that makes
Maj. A. NJ Fuller of the adjutant gem
erafs office the inventor of the sub
marine recently given wide publicity
in connection with the name of Henry
ORD. L. was only hy slip that any
mixing of the Topeka mans connec-
tion with the submarine became
known.
As nearly as can be learned. Il is
declared, the submarine has Ford is
urging this government To adont and
said to have been invented by a pro-
fesSoI in an eastern university, is an
infringement on a patent issued to
Major Fuller five years ago. The ma
1or has called the attention of the navy
department to his invention, it IS said.
and expects to learn within the next
ten days the status of the submarine
suggested by Ford
In external appearance the subma-
rlne invented by Major Fuller resem-
bles the boats new in use, excepting
that 1t is much smaller and lighter
and capable of much more speed. The
vital Improvement over the present
type is in the arraignmert of the in
ternal machinery ard the fact that it
can be handled by one man. In COM
pact arraignment cf parts the new
submarine is said to nave reached
Twelve Years At Ii.
Major Fuller has spent more than
twelve years in working out the de-
tails of his submarine. Seven years
ago IT was registered in the patent
OFFICE. Two years later a patent was
issued to him. Since then he has pro-
tected his invention by patents in
twenty-four other countries.
Despite the fact that the major has
maintained absolute silence in regard
to his invention, sevral European gov
ernments have made him huge offers
for exclusive rights on his patent
Eight years ago, the British govern
ment made him an offer. Several
years later Russia Offered him nearly
half million dollars for his boat,
providing it was changed so that two
men instead of one could be carried
These offers he has refused preferring
to bold his inventions for this govern
ment If it cares to adopt it.
Government Is slow
That the government has DELAYED
action on Major Fuller's submarine is
not unusual, according to persons ac-
quainted with military policy of this
country. They sight as an example of
the slowness of this government to
adopt innovations the delay in adopt-
ing the automatic machine guns The
gun was invented twelve years ago, but
was not adopted by the government
until last year. Now it is used alto

STEEL IN UPSH0OT
Enormous Volumes Absorbed
in Runaway Market.
Stock Quickly Touches 81,
Highest Since 1912.

New York, Oct. 1.-Wall street was
a gain in the throes of a runaway mar
ket today, with United States steel, the
copper stocks and some of the utili-
ties operating in Pittsburg and along
the Pacific coast in the lead. War
shares were comparatively neglected
and railways continued to lag.
Steels leadership derived its i'm
pulse largely from the optimistic
statement issued yesterday by the
corporations chief executive. Its
opening offering consisted of a block
of 10000 shares at 1875 to 7s, soon
breaking through 81. its highest quo
tation since 1912. The stock contin-
ued to issue forth in enormous vol
ume, some additional individual lots
ranging from 1900 to 1O.S00 shares.
The ease with which these outpour-
ings were absorbed made the move
ment more impressive.
Trading in the first hour amounted
to 100000 shares, of which steel alone
supplied $4,000.

HOLLAND IS SAFE
Berlin Says Dutch Have Moth
ing to Fear.
Fate of Belgium and Poland
Still ProbieMatical.

Berlin, Oct 1.-Germany's attitude
toward Holland, Belgium and Poland
was outlined in an interview given by
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, under secre-
tarY for foreign affairs, to the Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant. This inter-
view reproduced in the Lokal Anzeiger
was given out as follows today by the
Overseas News agency:
"Dr. Zimmerman insisted Holland
had nothing to fear from Germany. He
said Germany would not violate the
neutrality Of Holland or interfere
with her political or economic inde-
pendence. Germany appreciates the
fact that Holland is maintaining
strict neutrality.
AS to Belgium. the under secre-
tary stated that it's future was still
unknown, but solution of this diff
cult problem must be found which
will render it certain that Belgium
will not be utilized for the purposes
of England. Germany has always de-
sired peace, and now wishes a guar
antee that there will not be in the
future another war such as the pres
ent one.
"Poland's future also is unknown,
DR.. Zimmerman said. He expressed
the conviction that no one would be
able to oppose Germany's will

Than $2,0OO,O0O.
Is PERISH AT PREMIER, La.
Work of Rehabilitation Rushed
in Lashed Zone.
New Orleans Says No Outside
Aid Is Required.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 1.-The dead list
resulting from the hurricane which
swept the New Orleans sections and
the Mississippi gulf coast Wednesday
is expected to reach siXty-five or sew
enty, while property damage will
mount into the millions, according to
the latest reports compiled here today.
The losses are distributed as follows:
New OrIeans-Nineteen dead, 200
injured; property loss more than ST.
100000.
Mississippi Coast-Thirteen dead,
scores injured or missing; property
loss estimated at $2,000,00O
Premier, La.-Twenty-five dead,
about twenty injured; heavy damage
to railroads.
Automobiles arriving here from
New Orleans early today reported that
the work of reha Utilization of the city
was progressing rapidly, the streets
being cleaned of debris and buildings
left in a dangerous condition by the
storm, being torn down.
Railroad traffic from the west into
the city has been partially resumed, it
was reported and the telegraph and
telephone companies were working
day and night to restore wire COM

the outside world.
1t was stated no outside aid would
be asked for New Orleans. Reports

loss of life was not heavy, owing to
the ample warnings of the approach of
the storm sent out by federal and state
authorities.
