$50, 900 Donated to Fight Epidemic
Health Officials Believe
Washington Will Escape
Epidemic On in New York

Washington is waging as intelligent a
campaign of preparedness against inva-
sion by infantile paralysis as any city in
the country.
This was the statement today of DR..
William C. Fowler, head Of the contagious
disease service of the health department,
following his return from New York.
where he attended conference OF health
experts on methods for preventing spread
of the disease.
Suggestions contained in the Commits
sioners' proclamation for minimizing the
danger of the appearance Of the malady
here are as effective as any that can be
proposed at the present time, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Fowler, who also considers the
Districts infantile paralysis regulations
sufficient.
While a second case of the disease
was reported to the health department
yesterday, the diagnosis was SO OBJ
scure that officials are doubtful wheth-
er the child was infected or injured by
fall. The infant has practically re-
covered, but shows bruises to sustain
the accident theory.
Health officials are growing more op-
timistic daily over the prospect of
Washington escaping an epidemic of
the scourge. Reports indicate that
citizens generally are complying with
the suggestion made by the Commits
sioners, and it is believed that the cap
pital not only will not be visited by in
fantile paralysis. but will establish a
remarkable health record for the rest
of the year on account of the thorough
cleaning it is receiving.
According to DIR. Fowler. the health
experts who met in New York city are
imnressed with the fact that the best
way to ward off infantile paralysis Is to
make a city as sanitary as possible.
and to wage relentless war on the com.
mon house fly.
