Federal and Local Officials
and Scientists Meet In
Washington.
MORE VIGOROUS
MEASURES URGED
Experts Agree Efforts
Must Be Made to Check
Nationwide Epidemic.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Plans for
more vigorous campaign to prevent
spread of infantile paralysis were
made here to-day at n conference OF
health authorities of thirty-nine states
with officials of the Federal Pubic
Health Service. Resolutions will be
adopted tomorrow by the conference
in which eminent plague experts
scientists and psychologists are
participating, outlining definite pro-
posals for checking dissemination OF
the disease.
While few of those present to-day
expressed alarm that the epidemic
might assume country wide proper
tons. they uniformly declared meas
ures were necessary to guard against
a widespread outbreak.
Admission was freely made by many
experts that the cause Of the plague
is unknown. and the means Of Its
transmission not conclusively deter
mined. Physicians VINO have been
fighting it in New York, Pennsylvania,
and Connecticut gave the latest scien-
tific observations of these aspects.
Attention was centered chiefly on
prevention Of spread of the epidemic
through interstate travel. Uniformity
of regulations for travel on railroad
trains, steamships and other carriers
was urged by Secretary McAdoo, OF
the Treasury Department, in opening
the conference, and while the opinion
was advanced by several speakers that
general quarantine against passengers
from the Eastern infected areas was
unnecessary, the conference probably
will recommend a system of uniform
inspection, issuance of health certiti-
Gates and cooperation among Federal
and state health and railroad authori.
ties toward safeguarding travel.
Medical representatives of dozen
large trunk lines urged the conference
to assist in drawing up uniform traffic
rules.
Special Committee Named.
A special committee to propose
methods for control of the epidemic,
including transportation regulations,
was appointed to report tomorrow. It's
members are Dr. John S. Fulton, Of
Maryland. chairman; DR.. 7. ID. futile.
of Washington State; DR.. h. G. Will
Jams, of Virginia; DR.. II. IL. Bracken,

Plague Patient Stays in Tent.

When Adeline Springfield, the six
year-old daughter of James Spring
steel, of Lake Street, Ramsey, n. j.,
was attacked by infantile paralysis her
parents protested against sending her
to the Paterson Isolation Hospital. Mr..
Springfield had tent set up in his
back yard, where the little girl was

nectibn with the house. and the par

child's condition.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-18

such drastic quarantine regulations
arc unnecessary.
Several delegates said few cases in
their states were traceable to the Eas-
tern epidemic, and others reported the
plague more prevalent in rural than
urban districts. The majority adj
vanced the opinion that it was un,,
necessary to keep the schools closed
in their states.
Assistant Surgeon General w. Z.
Rucker, who with acting Surgeon Gen
eral A. II. Clennan. presided over the
conference, gave out tonight the fol-
lowing SYNOPSIS OF the views OF the
speakers:
at appears TO be the consensus OF
opinion that segregation Of persons
with the disease is desirable and that
cpening of schools is also advisable.
Travel is dangerous when it permits
movement of acute or chronic carriers
OF the disease. The evidence is against
insect transmission. and transmission
by food is hypothetical"
Transmission Is Mystery.
Reporting on a scientific study of
symptoms and control OF the epidemic
in New York, conducted by many state,
city and Federal scientists, Surgeon
Wade II. Frost, of the Public Health
Service, said:
"Frankly. we do not know how the
disease is transmitted, nor It's cause
The evidence strongly points to hu-
mans as the carriers. The evidence $
that it is purely a human disease, and
if contagious large proportion OF per-
sons exposed are immune.
at must be spread very largely from
sources other than sick persons, mostly
by adults. Against that is the known
seasonal prevalence. Our theories DO
not exclude transmission by insects.
Transmission by the lower animals
is hypothetical. We hardly suspect any
but dogs or cats. It's rapid spread IN
dicates human carriers"
DESPITE the New York epidemic, Sur
geon Frost said, the most striking
Characteristic of the disease is that It
is most severe in rural communities
rather than in cities. He said 80 per
cent of cases occurred among children
under ten years of age, and that 10 u,
30 per cent of infections can be traced
10 preyious cases of direct contact.
There are few infections of persons eX-
posed in their own families, he stated
DR.. George Draper, of the New YORK
Health Board, said quarantine OF par
alyzed persons was not effective against
transmission. He said milk possibly
was a source of infection, and while at
first negroes were believed immune,
cases lately had appeared among thaI
race. -.
The conference adopted resolution
thanking the New York City authorI-
ties for their frank disclosures OF con-
ditions there as an assistance to other
states in taking preventive measures.
DR.. Haven Emerson, Health Comml9-
sioner. answered many questions ABOUT
the preventive work in New YORK.

Land to be planted to corn the fol-

eggs are laid, or better, before the

Pale pink is everywhere I'm millinery
as In frOcks, and there are pale pink
hats I'm every imaginable material from
felt to malines. Pale pink in combina-
ton with dark blue velvet, is popular.
Wide brimmed hats of flesh pink ba-

is a hat individually modish and ex-
tremely pretty too, which is more than
one can say for all things modish.
A touch of blue on q pink hat Is chic,
but the blue is the French blue of
Louis XIV and Louis XVI, and the COM

PRUNING OF SMALL FRUITS
Cutting Of Raspberry and Blackberry
Bushes Should Begin in Summer
Cut Out Old Canes.

Pruning is more essential I'm the case
of bush fruits than IL is with fruit
trees. II the bushes are left unpruned
single season, they become a miss
% tangled growth that bears little
fruit, and this OF poor quality.
The pruning OF blackberry and
raspberry bushes should rightly begin
in summer. when the canes are
through bearing. The canes that have
borne the crop should be cut away, TO
give the new shoots better chance TO
develop into vigorous canes. II the
old canes were not removed last sum-
mer they should be cut now. But
three or four new stalks should be
permitted to grow from/a clump. TIE
tips of these new canes should be
punched off when they have reached
height of four feet. This pinching
back is TO develop strong. vigorous
lateral growth. since the fruit forms
on growths that start from the later
ais. Spring pruning consists I'm cut
ting out all wood that has borne ber-
ries and the shortening Of laterals on
new wood TO Is TO 20 inches. The new
plants that develop between the
clumps should be kept down, IL these
are not wanted for planting.
The currant bush requires little
pruning during the first two or three
years, other than slight shortening
Of the ends Of the canes. This short
ening is done to increase the fruit buds
along the cane. Currants do not form
on new wood, and in order TO have a
good crop each season it is advisable,
in pruning, to leave an equal number
of the one-year and two-year-old canes
to each bush.

Pearl drops can be bought for five
or ten cents. The expense of the neck
lace may be obtained by the use of
imperfect trinkets. such as pair of
earrings or an old cameo. A simple
form of necklet is green velvet one
with amber drop. 1t is merely a length
of half-inch-wide velvet ribbon, 40
inches long, turned back at each end
to form a point. To each of these
points is fastened long, narrow yell

ribbon is flung around the neck OF the
wearer and knotted loosely in front.

SILAGE BEST DAIRY RATION
1t Is PaIatabIe, SuccuIent, Beneficial to
the Digestive Tract and 10
Quite Economical.

Silage has been used more especial
ly for feeding dairy COWS than any
other class of live stock. No dairy
farm is completely equipped without
a winter silO and also n silo Of small
diameter for summer feeding, unless
soiling crops are used.
Good silage possesses several of the
desirable characteristics Of good
dairy ration. 1t is palatable, succulent,
bulky, beneficial to the digestive tract
and economical. A ration must have
these characteristics as we'll as have a
balance Of nutrients in order 20 be con-
ducive to large and economical milk
production.
Experiments have shown that but
terfat was produced cents per pound
cheaper and 100 pounds OF milk AZ

CHILD'S "BANK" EASILY MADE
Article Of This Description Will Incul-
cate Habits of Thrift in the
Little Folks.

There was never time when it was
so important that the little folks should
save as many of their pennies as pos
Sible, and we give q sketch of ''bank"
for this purpose that they can quite
well make for themselves from an old
cigar box. Some quiet fun and amuse-
ment will also be derived in prepar.
ing the bank and in decorating it after
it has been completed.
First of all cut slit in the lid of
the box for the coins to pass through.
Not too large, or else you will be able
to get the pennies out again, and then
they will soon be spent.
Next nail the lid securely down, and
then cut out pieces of white paper TO
fit the sides and top of the box, and
paste them in their places. When the
paste is quite dry you can draw ami
mails or butterflies or anything else
you fancy, and then color them with
paints or chalkS.
Another good way of decorating a
bank of this kind is to save all the
old postage stamps, soak off the paper
