Daniels was authorized by State
Health superintendent p. b. Jenkins,

DR.. Daniels this morning told that
years < doctors were of the opin-
ion that infantile paralysis was at
tributed to local conditions, and vas
not considered a contagious or even
an infectious disease. The doctor
said that although ~infantile paralysis
had been proven TO be a commune

refused or neglected to quarantine
patients afflicted, with the result
that the malady was carried to diff.
ferent parts of communities and eve

FIRST CAR OF MELONS
MADISON MERCHANTS JOINTLY
BRING LARGE CONSIGNMENT
FROM MISSOURI.

Madlsonians are watermelon low
ing folk. As proof, witness a whole
carload OF that delectable garden
product, which Madison merchants
had brought to the city this morning.
1t required a good part of the fore
noon for a drayman to distribute
among Eean m dealers the
scores of watermelons included in
the one consignment. The melons
came direct from Missouri, and are
said TO be of excellent quality. They
are the oblong melons, and range in
size from a dozen pounds to more
than twice that weight.
The melons were the first to be
brought by local dealers direct from
the vines. Formerly they were pur-
chased through jobbers, who ship
ped small allotments to individual
dealers by express. BY purchasing
the melons from the growers or the
growers agents. and having them
shipped by freight, dealers say. a
saving is made TO the consumer of
from 10 to 20 cents on each melon.
according to size. Early melons
came from Texas. From now until
Iowa and South Dakota melons are
ripe, probably about September l..
that fruit will continue to come from
Missouri.
The Missouri melons now bring
from about 80 cents to 65 cents each,
according to size. A few weeks ago
from so cents to 81 each was asked
for them.
Cantaloupes in the city just now
are a rarity. Merchants say that the
demand here for cantaloupe does not
warrant carrying a large supply of
that fruit.

Permitted TO MARRY
ONE OF GIRLS WHO EIOpED II
MARRIED HERE - OTHER
Is WITH FRIEND.

One Of the two girls who last Sun
day night eloped from Madison TO
Brookings was married last night to
the young man whom she is alleged
to have gone away TO wed, and the
other girl probably will have to de
fend herself against a charge of in
corrigibility.
The mother of the girl who was
married last night, went yesterday to
Brookings, where the girls were de-
tanned upon telephone advice from
here, and returned with them last
evening. The young man also came
to Madison, and at about 9 O'Clock
last night obtained a license TO wed.
The ceremony was performed about
a half hour later.
A complaint, charging incorrigi-
bility was lodged against the other
girl, who is about l6 years of age.
She was taken before Judge A. w.
Sponholz this forenoon, but was not
formally a~rraigned under the charge.
Judge S%ponholz said it was probable
that no definite action would be
taken today. The girl was released

The trouble is all caused by the ex-
tremes of temperature, according to
city Engineer Howe, and more espe-
cially by the period Of recent hot

Oats and barley have commenced
10 arrive on the local market. Grain
buyers say that some of the grain is
exceedingly good while some is poor.
From "a to 81 cents a bushel is be
ing offered on the Madison market
for oats, and from Sc to 60 cents is
being paid for barley. The average
price paid for the two grains is about
. cents a bushel higher than it was a
year ago at this time. 1t is expected
that wheat will arrive on the market
before the end of the week.
Although farmers insist that
neither the quality nor quantity of
their grain will permit them to pay
harvesters more than $3.50 a day, q
number of men who arrived here last
night and today to go into the grain
fields declined to work for less than
SO a day. A few accepted jobs at
$3.50 a day. while now and then a
man told that he would not work for
less than 81 a day. During the last
three weeks William Rowland, sec
rotary of the Madison Merchants as

here with harvest hands at a rate o.
more than 100 a week. The total
number of men engaged through the
Merchants association was 305.

unusually particular this year. Some
who come in pairs or trios will NOT
work unless their companies are
taken onto the same jobs, while 9th
ers object to working more than a
few miles from town. Practically all
the grain cutting has been complet-
ed. Men engaged nov are put to

BOMBS
 SELFISH INTERESTS
Declares There Is No Good Reason
 for Preparedness

Washington, July 20.-The naval bill still was before the senate today, an attack by Senator LaFollette on the measure delaying a vote yesterday. The Wisconsin senator had the floor today to continue criticism of the gen. eral preparedness program.
 Objection to the bills provision ap- propriating $11, 100000 for a govern ment armor plate plant was voted down, 51 to 17. Senators Oliver and Penrose led opposition to this feature, contending the armor plate controver- sy should be left to the federal trade commission. Construction of a, manu- featuring plant, they declared, would not be true economy.
 Senator LaFollette quoted from committee hearings to prove that the American navy is in better shape than preparedness advocates are willing to admit. The navy, he said, is stronger than Germany's which although only half as big as Great Britain's has pre- vented invasion of Germany.
 Resuming the attack today, Senator LaFollette reiterated his declaration that the proposed doubling of expen- ditures for military purposes had been actuated by selfish interests instead of patriotism, and asserted that there was not a military, economic or politi- cal reason to warrant the proposed appropriations.
 "The logic of the whole world sit uation is against necessity for these proposed increases" he said. The great nations of the world with their evastation and exhaustion of re- sources in the past year have made it impossible for them to become a men ace to America"

HOUSING OF WOMEN
 IN PICTURE PALACES
MunitiOn Workers in Serious Need
 Of Living Quarters
(correspondence of the Asso. Press>.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press).
 London, June observation-disclosures or moving picture palaces may be taken over by the government as temporary living quarters for women and girls employed either in the intuition fac tories or in the ordinary business of London and other large cities. It will be one way of solving one of the questions forced into prominence by the war, namely the housing of thou sands of women workers. To this end women of the upper and middle class whose age prevents them from entering intuition factories or talk ing service on the farm are urged to assist the government in improVising s a comprehensive scheme.
 Scarcity of labor has stopped build ing and the small cottages in or near the big centers of population are in unusual demand. The sudden in crease in the number of munition workers has involved great migrations of labor.
 If there is a scarcity, amounting al l most to a famine, of small houses, in l a good many cases, though not in all, l large houses can be obtained The cost or living has led upper and 1 middle-class families to migrate from l the large house to the small one or a flat. Many large houses are empty l but the women have yet to get to- l gether on a plan to occupy them | economically Or in keeping with their l incomes. An appeal was recently ] made to landlords to allow the tenn | porary occupation of such dwellings, | to be conducted as hotels or shared
 out among women.
 At a few womens hotels these wcm-
 en obtain comfort and excellent meals
 at an exceedingly modest price. Such
 a result is possible only by combina- 1 tion and cooperation because alone in
 a rooming house women could not live | so cheaply. Where there is an ah- l sence of houses the government is 1 considering using moving picture
 houses or school-rooms.

AUSTRIAN DERBY
 A BANNER EVENT
Only Signs Of War Are Uniforms
 Of Officers

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Vienna, June 25-The great an nual Austrian Derby, the banner race of the sporting season for all Austria Hungary, this year proved even more than the anticipated success. It far outdid the Derby of 1915, in general interest, attendance and sporting fea- lures.
 Many of the big features in society and the smart and brilliant gowns of peace time were lacking, but the threatening weather was largely to blame for that.
 The Austrian race track crowd Is totally unlike the one-time American crowd. The nerve-racked excitem ent of the American track is lacking, and when the horses come laundering down the track-from right to left instead of from left to right and on sod instead of solid earth-there are seldom any shouts for this or that horse.
 A feature of the Austrian track is the surprising number of women who bet on the races. Thousands of them crowded to the pari-mutuel booths on Derby day, feverishIy thrusting their ten and twenty crown bills to the ca$4a1e CTS, and JOStl1n gly making their way after each race to the pay-off booths. The women too furnished sight that is not common on an Amer ican track for countless mum bers of them strolled about the paddock, or leaned against the rail smoking ciga- rette after cigarette They stood about the huge announcing board with cigarettes between their lips, program in hand, carefully and skilfully check ing off the numbers of the horses to run in the next race and the names Of the jockeys who were to ride them
 The only signs of war, if they would strike even the outsider, were the gray uniforms of officers and soldiers who mingled with the crowd
 The most popular favorite did not win so there was a sorrowful ele- ment in the homeward- bound crowd, but on the whole it was a happy and carefree throng, certainly one that gave no hint that fathers and broth CTS, husbands and sons are spread out along several hundred miles of battle line, or wounded in the hospitals CT dead and buried.

8 At 352 Arch street are four bright Eyed little children, full of the life End Vigor of childhood, whose young Ewes have been just one tragedy after Alnother, who are patiently waiting for #one kind hearted individuals who Myill adopt them, take them into their alomes and give them an opportunity Nn the world.

The oldest child is 19 wears old and with his older brothers bs able only to care for themselves, so cannot support their little Hbroth- ars and sister in New Britain. %
 The grim reaper again visited the AmoroM family on March 19 when the father died at their home in New Jersey. Their kind hearted aunt brought the four youngest children to this city after the funeral and has been caring for them since. She sent them to the Rockwell school Now the aunt, in poor health and about to go to hospital, finds that she must part with the little ones and Is begging that some persons with a great big heart will take them and give them a chance in the world. The twins are inseparable and their aunt hopes that they can remain to-
 gether.
 All of the children are clean, bright
 looking little individuals and gaze
 with undisguised interest at visitors.
 The appeal in their big black eyes is
 8 heart rending one and it is to be
 hoped that they all find a good home.
 Tn case they do not there is nothing
 for the aunt to do but send them
 back to Jersey to the county hone

ALLIES REJOICE AT SALONIKI.

Information given out by the French authorities in regard to the situation at Saloniki seems to lndi- cate that the entente allies are pre- pairing an offensive movement. A Saloniki dispatch of several weeks ago said that an allied offensive in Mace dOnia had been arranged for the middle of May. but that it had been postponed and might be expected in July at the latest There are some 13O,00O Serbian troops on this front, several hundred thousand French and British soldiers. It is generally understood the allies have 600, 900 or more men available for cam paign Opposed to them are the Bull garians with unknown numbers of Turks, Germans and Austrians. It has been reported that Bulgaria's al~ lies have withdrawn troops recently. The upper of the two accompanying pictures shows Serbian, French and English soldiers fraternizing in Salon. iki and rejoicing over a bit of news favorable to the allied cause. The lower picture shows a high Serbian officer (right) in earnest conversation with the British General Milne.
