NEW YORK. July 29.-The death
record in the infantile paralysis cpl
demic reached "A new high mark to-
day. Forty-four victims were claimed
This was an increase of eleven over
yesterdays figures. New cases re-
ported totalcd lGl. and it became ap-
parent that change in temperature
makes no difference in the progress Of
the disease. The number of new cases
to-day has been exceeded only twice
since the beginning OF the epidemic.
The board Of health's weekly bulle-
tin gave the grand total OF new cases
as 3,5SS, and 733 deaths. Health Com
missioner Emerson declared these fig
urcs did not indicate any sudden lack
OF control of the disease.
DIR. John s. Billings, in charge OF the
Brooklyn office, said the disease seemed

that infantile paralysis is self

community and feeds upon those who
are susceptible. and that when IL burns
Itself out of available material, II de-
ciincs and disappears. Since II is evi-
dent that all children are not susccpti-
bic. its ravages are not nearly so wide
spread as in some other diseases"
The number OF out -of-town patho-
