NATION WIDE BATTLE
AGAINST BABY PLAGUE
OPENED WITH vIGOR
Conference of State Health Au-
thorities and Public Service
Officials Formulates Plan
of Campaign
UNIFORM ATTACK URGED

WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-The nation
wide conference between state health off,
GERS and public health service officials over
measures to stamp out the infantle paraly-
sis epidemic was concluded here today by
the adoption Of report prepared by the
committee appointed to draft measures to
prevent the interstate and ntrastate spread
Of the disease
The report. as adopted suggests n strin-
gent system Of notification, whereby the
destination Of all children under 16 years
OF age who are travelling either within n
State or between States, shall at once be
reported to the health authorities in each
destination
II further suggests that when schools are
opened in communities which have suffered
from infantile paralysis, the high schools
first open, the lower grades following In
order downward. The opening of schools,
1t Ia set FORTH should be no more rapid
than complete medical examinations war
rant.
The report urges state health authorities
Immediately to call the attention of the
public health service to all cases of the
disease.
The public health service is recommended
to take this action concerning travel of chill
dren from infected areas:
Notification concerning the removal of
persons l6 years of age or under from an
infected area to n named point of destna-
tion In another State, said notification to be
addressed In every case to the State health
authority Of the state Of destination.
Identification of such traveller the ex.
act location of present or usual residence
and record Of premises as to freedom from
poliomyelltis during the preceding three
months or as to latest date OF infection of
less than three months; or as to renova.
tion or cleansing of premises after infec.
ton.
Permits to travel shall be void unless
the journey begin within "a hours after
issue of the permit.
Permits for Interstate travel should be
signed by an officer of the United States
public health service or by the State health
officer, or by an officer authorized by the
State health authority"
The committee disapproved Of uuaran-
tine by one State against another or by one
community against another in the same
State.
This further travel restriction is pro-
vided:
That all persons 16 years old or under
with clean bill of health and removing
from an infected area or district to another
locality should be kept under observation
daily for two weeks from the date of the
certificate
To aid in preventing the spread of
poliomyelitis, common carriers should in
struct their agents by direct order, as we'll
as by public notice. that travellers with chill
dren OF 16 years or under must be pro-
vided with health certificate as detailed in
another section OF this report"

hit the hay.
Many Postponements
This sweepstake, or these sweepstakes,
or whatever II or they is or are. has or
nave been on the program for more than
month, and many attempts have been
made to pull off the evoat. The race was
frst scheduled for July 13, but a leaking
SKY was too much for even the riders. A
week later Old Jupe again brought out
the sprinkler and the stun was off until
further notice Johnny Eckhart and others
connected with the management got to-
gether and selected last night as the big
night, and everything went off beautifully
Even the mosquitoes were kind and gentle.
II was n race that had sort of an In
ternational flavor, for Il brought together
representatives of the United States. Italy
and France. Without getting too patriotic,
allow us to state that the Americans had
things their own way and fought II out
between themselves. while the others trailed
along. somewhere in the rear. But it was
very exciting and the remarkably close
finish caused the huge gathering to shout
itself hoarse and arise to Its feet.
$4,000 Witnessed Races
The largest crowd that ever witnessed
motorcycle racing in this city was present,
the official count being close to $4,000.
The big grandstand which stretches around
the one-third-o f-a mile track wa8 packed,
and those who came In late were obliged
to see the race from the field.
Carman won the big race but victory
came only after the hardest kind of work.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-08-18

! He was pushed hard by George Wiley, Of
Syracuse, and hurtled his machine across
the line one-fifth Of a second ahead OF his
opponent. II was the closest finish ever seen
at Point Breeze and both riders received
an ovation at the end.
Carman had been leading by one half a
lap UP to the 35th mile and seemed to be
taking things easy. lie was going at
comfortable pace, and Jimmy Hunter, his
pacemaker kept down the speed. suddenly
Wiley started a sprint and almost caught
UP with the leader before he realized IT,
Then came the sensational work which
brought the crowd to its feet Wiley got
within 10 feet OF Carman, when the cham
pion let ont q few links OF speed and both
riders sped around the track, at a FURIOUS
pace With their Eggs working like piston
rods they shot around and around, sprinting
as IL they were just starting the event IN
stead of finishing It. When the referee
fired his gun as signal for the last lap
there was more sprinting, but neither man
could gain on the other and they finished
10 feet apart
The spectators knew that remarkably
fast tine had been made, and when Bobby
Calhoun announced In his strong, clear
voice that the winner travelled the 40 miles
in 40 minutes and 81 seconds, there were
gasps of surprise Coumbatto was third
and Dldier. the Frenchman, a poor fourth.
Wiley took the lead at the start, while
VI
five miles the Syracuse flyer was ahead,
with Dider second. Then Carman jumped
to the front after n hard sprint and Wiley
dropped to second, 25 yards behind. At
10 miles the champion retained the lead,
with Wiley and Didier close behind.
Rides Mile in so Seconds
In the 14th mile Wiley decided 1t was
time to get out in front am started after
the leader. This Ia where Ddier lost out,
for he was unable to keep up the pace and
lost his pacemaker In the meantime, the
leaders were riding neck and neck, and
rode one mile in SO seconds. the fastest
time ever made on the track on bicycle.
Carman retained the lead and held 1t to
the end. Wiley's fastest time was one
minute fiat.
The usual motorcycle races were on the
card and were more interesting than ever.
The last event of the evening, a five-mile
race between st. Yves, Veditz and Nande-
berry. furnished enough thrills to last
lifetime.
They sped around the track 10 times,
clinging to the sides like so many flies,
and at the end n blanket could have covered
all of them. st. Yves won from Vande-
berry by few inches, with Veditz close
behind.
