Gallon, Aug. 10 There's honor
among hoboes, too. just as there is
among thieves, and just as there is
not-according to many of the $1,35
dime novels flooding the market
among the elite.
Edna Ralston, Is, daughter of a
Winchester, (Ind.), man, became tired
Of being girl and staying at home.
So, donning her brothers clothes, she
swung herself in true, man-like style
aboard Big Four freight train, be-
came acquainted with a party Of
tramps, and rode along with them.
But the hoboes knew she was a
girl. They induced her to leave the
train, took her to house, and called
the police. She told police here she
was going to Cleveland to work. Pro
baton officer Hiatt of Winchester took
her back home.

MYSTERY
SURROUNDING INFANTILE PARAL'
YSls THOUGHT SOLVED
Physicians Awaiting Final Test ot
Cause Before Announcing I'm
portant Discoveries-Ad-
vice Is Given

New York, Aug. 19--Important dis
coveries concerning infantile paralysis
by surgeons who are working to check
the epidemic, probably will be an
nounced soon, it was learned last
night.
Surprising progress has been made
in laboratories and by research and
field workers, it was said, but before
an announcement is made of the cause
of the disease or specific for it, the
physicians propose to be in a position
where no doubt can be thrown on their
conclusions.
Health Commissioner Emerson said
last night that nine out of II monkeys
had been inoculated successfully by
pathologists and that some of the mys-
teries of the disease hitherto puzzling
to medical science had been solved.
The results in Washington have been
so encouraging that the city bureau
of laboratories here has issued an ap-
peal to the public for all kinds of pet
animals afflicted recently with paraly-
sis to be used for experimental pur-
poses.
The idea is to find some animal, 1t
was explained, having type of par
alysis that may provide useful study
in obtaining information about an
terror poliomyelitis.
The health department today issued
the following advice to parents:
Keep your house or apartment alb
solutely clean. Go over all woodwork
daily with a damp cloth. Never allow
dry sweeping. Screen your windows
| against flies. Do not allow garbage
to accumulate. Kill all forms Of yer.
min, such as bed bugs and reaches.
PAY special attention to bodily
cleanliness. Give your children a
bath every day and see that all cloth
ing is clean. Keep your children by
themselves as much as possible.
do not take your children with you
when you go shopping. Do not allow
your children to be kissed"

Marine Insurance Jumps
on Reports Of Commerce
Preyers in Atlantic

New York, Dec. 30-Marine insur-
ance rates to-day showed another in
crease. Underwriters quoted to 8
per cent. for insuring cargoes bouno
to ports of the United Kingdom and
10 per cent. 70 Mediterranean ports.
A. few days ago these rates stood at
5 to per cent.
The advance was attributed to re-
ports that the Lamport & Holt liner
Voltaire. long overdue. had been cap
tured by German prize crew and was
preying on allied freighters in the
North Atlantic and to the fact that
several transatlantic steamers are now
overdue o nboth sides of the ocean.
Although the Noltaire, from Liver
pool to New York. is fourteen days
behind her schedule. representatives
of the line here said that they had not
given up hope q should not do so
until they heard officially that their
vessel had been lost. In maritime
circles it was pointed out that anxiety
over the nonarrival OF steamers is
unnecessarily exaggerated. On ac-
count of rough weather it is said that
several steamships are taking from
twenty-three to twenty-eight days to
cross from British and French ports,
and from Genoa and Marseilles they
have been as long as thirty-eight days
out.
