EPIDEMIC IN NEW
YORK ABOUT ENDED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-The
ipfantile paralysis epidemic in
Greater New York is practically end
cd, according to Surgeon c. H. LAWN
der of the public health service, who
i'll report just made said the number
CT cases in the entire city had fallen
to less than 40 per week, with con-
tinued steady decline.
In Massachusetts,, where the cpl
demic reached it's crest later than in
ether states, the disease is now stead
lily and sharply on the decline. Sta
tistics compiled by Surgeon Lavinder,
bringing returns to late in October in
most instances, show New Jersey with
134.25 cases per 100000 population,
was harder hit than any other state,
outside of New York with Greater New
York included. In Greater New York
the rate was 1852 and New York
state, exclusive of New York City, II
was S4.91. In Connecticut 1t was

and Maryland. We lack any data of
consequence to support this view. We
know, however, that poliomyelitis ap-
peared in epidemic form in Minnesota
about the time it appeared in New
York City and its vicinity and that the
two foci were not connected with each
other so far as can be determined. The
crest of the prevalence in Alabama
and Mississippi distinctly ante-dates
that of states farther north. These
comments are largely conjectural, but
if the groups of states are marked out
on a map, their arrangement will be
found to be quite striking, whatever
its meaning may be"

GEORGIA BETTER PREPARED
THAN OTHER STATES

H. f. Sayely, field agent of the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture who has been working in the
south for several years to prepare
farmers for the boil weevil, has given
out a statement to the effect that
Georgia is better prepared for the
coming of the boil weevil than any
state which it has heretofore invaded.
This statement he made after spending
some time in south Georgia and reg
ions where the weevil has already APP
peared. To the county agent, Mr.. Saw
oily attributes very much of the pre-.
paredness of the Georgia farmer.

the remaining states below 10.
Surgeon Lavinder points out that in
three groups of states the incidence
rate was highest, being markedly
above that of the rest of the country.
These groups are in a general way ar
ranged like a large inverted " the
base being formed by the New Eng
land states, one arm stretching west
along the Great Lakes, and the other
south along the Atlantic coast. In
this connection he says 1t has been
suggested that main lines of travel
might receive consideration.
I'VE might reasonably conceive,
says DR.. Lavinder, that one focus,
starting in New York City and vicinity
has stretched north through New Eng
land, west along the Great Lakes, say
as far as Ohio and somewhat west
Another focus, beginning with Mime
sofa, has stretched east toward Ohio
and also somewhat west. A third TO-
Gus might be conceived as originating
in Mississippi or Alabama and stretch
