MUST SAFEGUARD CITY
Strict Quarantine Highly Essential
During Prevalence Of Infantile
Paralysis.

A meeting of the State Health Com
missioner and the local Health Off
GERS of the State was held in Rich
mond on Tuesday, August %, in the
Capitol building, to discuss all mat
tiers pertaining to the epidemic OF
infantiIe paralysis (acute anterior
poliomyelitis). These officials were in
session about fiv: hours and che
Health Commissioner appointed a
committee to formulate plans and rec
ommend rules and regulations to
govern persons entering the state
from infected areas.
This committee, consisting of DR..
E. C. Levy, City Health Officer OF
Richmond, DR.. T. E., Baird, Quaran'
tine Officer of the port of Norfolk
and DR.. E. A. German, Health Offi-
Ger of Alexandria, after an hours
elaboration, presented to the confer
ence the following report:
Your committee on rules and regu'
lations, after such consideration as
the limited time given would permit
finds it impossible to present to youl
body definite recommendations in con-
nection with the subject at issue, be-
cause % of the general lack 81
knowledge of the method OF trans
mission of the disease in its epidemic
from into new territory; (2) of thu
lack of any evidence that such quar-
antine that would be practicable to
establish would prevent the admis
sion into the state of infantile paraly-
sis. Your committee, however, woulc
recommend that the State Depart
ment of Health, within whose prov
;nce the matter really lies and which
would ultimately be the governing
body in matters pertaining to THIS
disease, adopt necessary rules ane
regulations and forms of notification
in accordance with the resolution:
adopted at the conference of the State
and Federal Health Officers held If
Washington, D. c., August II an:
i18, 1916, with such further recon
,nendations as may from time to time
lie deemed necessary.
Recommendation Committee State
and Federal Officers:
The committee disapproves quaran
tine by one state against another state
or quarantine by one communit!
against another community in thu
same state. 1t is believed that the
Federal Government through the Pub
Tic Health Service, can perform al
duties of notification and certificatiol
required in Interstate relations, IN
case of unusual prevalence of poll.
omyelitis (infantile paralysis), and
hat State Health Authorities can
ind should perform like services as
between communities in the same
state, during unusual prevalence OF
poliomyelitis.

II the American woman acts the part
as well as fashion has designed her to
look it. the sports clothes of the hour will
psychologically produce a race of ANA
IONS and athletes. Not since the days
when the storied maids of Athens and
Sparta Wed with their brothers in the
classic games of Greece have the clothes
for out of doors presented such practical
adaptability. The modern Atalanta does
not resort to the strategy of dropping
golden apples to win a race, but she does
embroider this fruit in brilliant Futurist
colors of her sports hat. Or, perhaps,
she chooses a flower whose conventional
design lends itself to wool embroidery.
Embroidery in Wool.
I have given you a sketch which may
easily be copied. The suggestion displays
how a simple kimono sleeve dress may
acquire that look of distinction found
only in expensive ready-to-wear or GUS
tommade shops. The original gown in
this instance was natural colored pongee
with navy blue dot. A new collar. cuffs,
belt and skirt border of natural pongee
were added. I want you to observe the
collar and stole. The ends of the stole
slip through bound buttonholes in the
belt and are kept out of the way during
active exercise. If you are desirous of
protecting the throat and neck when
overheated. the stole ends may be re-
leased from the buttonholes and thrown
around the throat, affording an artistic
high-neck waist

was one Of the companions of Richard
Occur de Lion on his crusading expedi-
ton. The coat of arms is described in
heraldic language thus: Argent a cross
raguly gules. The crest. which is of
more recent origin is a demi-turbot ar
gent, tail upward.
The family in this country was founded
by John Lawrence. sixteenth in descent
from the Crusader. He was born in
Wisset, Suffolk, England, in 1909 and with
his wife, whose name was Elizabeth,
came to this country. settling in Water
town, Mass, before 1885. This John was
the son of Henry Lawrence, who remain
ed in the old country.
The family. as might be expected won
no little distinction in this country and
counts among its members several of
the most generous benefactors of New
England. Amos Lawrence, a descendant
Of John, the first settler, was born at
Groton, Mass. 17s6. He was a prominent
merchant and was one of the most dis
tinguished benefactors of Williams col
lege. His two sons.' William Richards
Lawrence and Amos, both gained consid-
cradle wealth and, like their father, gave
literally to all sorts of institutions of
New England. A brother of Amos. ST.,
was Abbott Lawrence, VINO gave so lib
orally to Harvard university in the first
Of the last century.
To w. B. W., who asks for informa-
ton of the wason family:
This Is very small family, but It is
none the less distinguished in its origin.
There is a tradition that the first of
the name were descendants of the VI
kings of Norway. and so persistent is
this tradition that it is hard to refute
1t. The family was early established in
England and one branch was driven to
the north of Ireland during the political
and religious upheaval of the seventeenth
century. From this branch came James
Wason, who was born In Ballymanus,
Antrim. in 1701 With his wife, Hannah
Caldwell, who was also native of Bally-
manus, he came to America, and settled
In New Hampshire, from whence the
family of the name have migrated to
various parts of the union.
To Mrs. j. L., who writes for in for
nation about the Oswald family:
have been told" she writes, that
the head of the house in America CAME
direct from Wales to America. Others
say Scotland. Please tell me also what
you can of the nationality and arms of
the Reynolds family ] know we are
descended from Bishop Reynolds, of Nor
wich, England, and that Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds was knighted by the king. Can
you tell me II Sir Joshua was related
to the bishop? I am so anxious to know
and have no means OF finding out I

The stole collar and cuffs should be
made double, stitched on the wrong side
turned inside outward and pressed before
starting the embroidery stitch. This
stitch Is Lazy buttonhole stitch and
is sometimes called the Windsor" In
this instance, the thread is wool in navy
blue and should not be too heavy This
finish in mercerized cotton thread is very
attractive also on the cuffs and collars of
children's dresses. The flowers are done
In navy blue and green. though a touch
Of strong orange of cerise would be
found more effective. The hat is made to
match in natural pongee and embroidered
In the same tones of navy blue and green.
I cannot tell you how lovely the effect is
and how quickly-Oh, 50 quickly-it works
up. / think these additions-collar cuffs
and border. made OF blue serge worked
in tan, orange and black mounted on
blue silk dress or even one Of black
charmeuse-would be lovely and so serv-
iceable. In linen are possibilities for
contrast of colors in wide assortment.
Sports Coat with Kimono Sleeves.
In the other model. have again shown
a sports coat. l wonder just how many
sports coats there are in the world this
summer! Statistics on this subject prove
interesting, but certainly would be ex-
hausting. There must be millions and
millions of them! But theS style is uni
versally good and invariably becoming
Here we have a hmono sleeve model
