Hot DAYS Nourish Disease.

As infantile paralysis fourlshes
during hot weather, there is no way Of
being sure that il will be soon under
control, "said DR.. Emerson Yesterday.
In fact. he added, there is likelihood
that the crest will not be reached until
August.
Three hospitals already have been
named for intantile paralysis cases
and another Will be ready for occu-
pancy on July s. II there is need DR..
Emerson Will designate others for the
purpose. Yesterday there were 10
cases i'm Kingston Avenue Hospital
and siXty-fve calls for ambulances.
The work Of removal has become ham
pered through lack af ambulances.
Frederick l.. Long, secretary of the
National School Camp Association,
which is maintaining a camp for 500
boys al Fort Hamilton. announced yes
terdav that no additional boys will be
received. After consultation with Colo
mel Samuel +. Allen, IN command
there, il was decided that no visitors,
including parents, will be allowed ad-
mittance. The lads there will be re-
tanned until the epidemic abates.
According 20 reports yesterday. the
negro population seems 70 be almost
immune, only one death being report

Sees No Reason for Fear.
DR.. Nicholas. H.. etymologst of the
department. said yesterday that there
is no reason as yet 70 become unduly
excited over the situation so far as
Manhattan. Queens. Richmond and The
Bronx boroughs are concerned. Ricn-
mond. although having small total,
has "a larger percentage of the popula-
ton afflicted than has even Brooklyn,
according to department figures.
A large map of the city IN the de-
partment headquarters, on Centre
Street. is dotted with red pins, showing
the location of each reported case. Inc
most northern case reported IS near
1S6th Street and Amsterdam Avenue
and the most southern is on Monroe
Street. in Manhattan. There are two
cases on Tooth Street, west OF central
Park From Fourteenth to Monroe
Streets, on the East Side, pins are as
close as they can be placed. Across the
river. in South Brooklyn, IS the greatest
epidemic. Only Flatbush, IN Brooklyn,
is clear. Williamsburg has Its quota,
and there is a small group near the IN
tersection Of Atlantic and Troy Ave
nues. Three have been reported near
Coney Island.
In discussing the virulency and fatal
itv of the epidemic, Dr.. Emerson SAID
that the average death rate continues
at 22 per cent, which is unusually high.
Seven per cent has been regarded as
high until the present. Apparently
there is no way Of calculating TINS IN
advance Dr.. Emerson pointed out that
il depends upon where the spinal cord
is affected.
According to Dr. Nicholas, there
were 800 cases in and about New York
in the 1907 epidemic, and a greater
spread of the disease in 1910 in the
United States than ever before. While
discussing the possible means Of
propagation, DR.. Nicholas said that
there is no law against promiscuous
kissing Of babies, but that common
sense dictated that it be avoided and

HARD WORK FOR CHICAGO
 SOCIETY "ROOKIES"

Chicago, August 15.-Up to Lake Geneva, where in other years they have spent the hot weeks eff August picnicing and motoring, several hun dred women, recruited from Chicago's elite, started today to learn to do things for their country.
 The women are enrolled in the na- tional service station, which is being conducted under the auspices of the Navy League. Their tents aye pitched on the campus of Northwestern Mill tary Academy, and for one month they will live the life of soldiers-eat .sleep, drill, work.
 Women who ordinarily never think .of getting up before the sun is noon- high will roll out when reveille sounds lat 6:30 o'clock. And these same wo- tmen, to whom ? a. m. is the nominal retiring hour, will, in the parlance of the rookie, Init the shucks" at 9:30 D. Inn. In between, they will eat, sleep, .drill and work There will be no maids, nor even mandy" men to put up blown-down tents.
 When the bugle sounds they will arise, put on their loose fitting khaki suits and flat-heeIed shoes, make their cots, put their tents in order wash at la common pump-ali in a half hour At seven o'clock they will report to their commanding officer for calls .thenics, and will work for another half hour.
 At 7:30 they will grab their alum inum mess kits and line up for the welcome cry from the field kitchen of ''come an get it." The fare, how ever, is little more dainty than the leverage preparedness camp puts out Each will receive portion of grape fruit, shredded wheat, cream, hominy, bacon, bread, butter and coffee.
 When they have finished they must |clean up their dishes. re-pack then kits and be ready at S:30 for classes, which continue until 12:30. These classes will include a variety of things from giving first aid to how to pre- pare a field meal. How to make sur gical dressings, hospital supplies, how |to signal with flags and by wig-wag .ging will be taught. Other classes will teach telegraphy, motor and ambulance driving and attending and the mechanism of the machines.
 Lunch will be at 12:3O. A sample consists of fish, tomatoes, mashed po- tatoes, buttered beets, lettuce salad, pickles, bread, butter and sliced pine apple,
 From until o'clock there will be more lectures, and another half hour .of calsthenics. Leave may be ob- tained then until the evening mess call at G.
 Supper means clam chowder, fresh tomatoes, pickles. crackers, bread, butter, iced tea and stewed peaches Roll call is at o'clock, and taps a half hour later.
