Of NEW YORK
LEAVE ONLY BY PERMIT
Federal Health Service Measures
Safeguard Other States Against
Paralysis.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Federal
lating interstate travel of children out
Of New York, in an effort to allay
alarm occasioned in other states by
the epidemic of infantile paralysis in
this city.
DR.. Charles E. Banks. senior surgeon
Of the United States public health
service, announced that children leav-
ing New York will be examined and
certificates of travel will be issued to
the epidemic
DR.. Banks said he and his assistants
DrS. E. w. Brown and c. B. Gardner,
will gather all available information
concerning the epidemic and health
ofnc1als in other states will be sup
Piled with exact facts from day to day
Work Purely Interstate.
I'VE are simply looking after the in
terstate phase of the epidemic and are
not to have charge. or to have any
say locally" DR.. Banks declared. Our
work will be purely interstate and not
intrastate-that is. we will not have
anything to do with the travel of per-
sons from one point to another inside
of this state, but only when they leave
New York to go to another state"
City health officials welcomed the
federal surgeons in the hope that by
providing neighboring states with re-
liable data the quarantine established
against New York will be lifted Lo-
cal officials said today, precautions
against the spread of the disease to
other states have been so thorough
that danger has passed.
DR.. Banks and his aids conferred
with Health Commissioner Emerson
for an hour. The federal men were
given all information in possession Of
the city health authorities

On a High Plane.

He should be an ardent advocate and
worker for high license He should
strive to have the same high plane re-
quired of him and his kind as the state
requires of those who practice medi-
cine. surgery or dentistry. He should
welcome a severe penalty for men who
style themselves real estate experts
without adequate preparation and an
examination by legally constituted au-
thority as to their fitness. He should be
not only willing, but happy. that gov
eminent which demands safe conditions
in all banks, which supervises all pub
lie financial institutions from national
repositories to insurance companies,
will investigate his work and demand
of him a standard of knowledge which
will guarantee constructive service to
the client.
Only thus can a business which is
fundamental to human welfare and hap
piness prosper in the truest sense"

OUTLINES THE IDEALS
: FOR EXPERT REALTY MAN
John L. Weaver of Washington Ad-
dresses Congress of Statesmen
at Detroit.

Ideals for the expert real estate man
were laid down by John L. Weaver of
Washington in an address before the
worlds craftsmanship congress at De-
troit, Mich, recently.
Mr.. Weaver said, in part:
THE expert has invaded every line
and the marvel is that his worth should
be disputed in any activity.
I'm no business is he working a
greater miracle than in that which
deals with the foundation of all wealth
real estate. Expert, service applied to
real estate is producing wonderful re-
suits the world over, nowhere more so
than throughout this broad land of
ours,

Makes for Better Living.

1T is making for better living, great
er stability in values and a more abd-
ing confidence in real estate as an in
vestment. 1t is taking boarded savings
and putting them in circulation while
giving the small owner not only a bet
ter profit on his money, but solid bull
wark against misfortune which no
panic or financial upheaval can sweep
away. 1t is lifting a business which
dishonest methods too often made
synonymous with rascality to the proud
place of honor it deserves. The expert
in realty is performing a service not
only for his calling, but for his COM
munity, which none who know of it's
value will deny is worth any reasonable
reward he chooses to ask.
The expert realty dealer should be
the dominant factor in his community.
He can be so only when he puts service
before self. Not only should he be will
ing to serve his fellows with service as
a basis. but he should be willing to la
Dor for and abide by all such restric-
tions and conditions as will prevent in
competent hands from attempting his
tasks.

bulk makes 1t dangerous in the same
way that whale is dangerous. Years
ago it was reported that the sperm
whale fishermen at the Island of Saint
Denis. in the Indian ocean. dreaded to
harpoon a whale shark by mistake, and
stories are told of a harpooned fish,
having by a lightning-like dive ex-
hausted the supply of rope which had
been accidentally fastened to the boat,
dived deeper still, and so pulled
pirogue and crew to the bottom.

from which the only two infantile pa
ralysis cases thus far have been report
ed. In both cases, however, the dag
nosis has been SO obscure that there is
doubt in the minds of the health off,
Gals whether the complaints were pro-
duced by infection or accidents.
To Go Over Ground Carefully.
DR.. Murray has been instructed to go
over the ground carefully. He will en-
deavor to discover every insanitary
condition that may exist in either
neighborhood and will give particular
! attention to stables. lunchrooms and
places where food is sold for human
consumption.
Any lunchroom proprietor or stable
regulating such establishments will stand
an excellent chance Of facing a charge In
Police Court, judging from the prepara-
tons being made by the health depart
partment intends to rid Washington lunch
rooms and eating places Of flies, because
it is known that flies may carry the in
fantile paralysis germ. The department
stables as fly hatcheries, so far as this
may be accomplished by law. The in
spectors have been ordered to go over the
city as with a fine tooth comb and make
note Of establishments that maintain
an insanitary condition of a character
prohibited by law or are infested with
flies because of failure to comply with
the regulations that are designed to pre-
vent the insects from gaining foothold.
Busy Time for Inspectors.
There is little doubt that the summer
is going to be a busy one for the health
department inspectors and a hard one on
the willful and careless violators Of the
sanitary regulations
But the department is convinced that
the local public generally is DESTROYS of
cooperating with it to the end that the
danger OF Washington being visited by
an infantile paralysis epidemic may be
reduced to a minimum. In the past few
days 1t has received numerous Inquiries
from citizens as to the most effective
preventive measures that may be en-
ployed. There has been widespread re-
Spouse to the Commissioners suggestion
that the health department be notified eff
the arrival in the city of persons from
New York. particularly children under
sixteen years of age. More than a hun
dred such notifications have been re-
celved, and yesterday the department
heard from three separate sources of the
arrival of single visitor from New
York.
For Fight to the Finish.
There is no occasion for the public
being alarmed" said DIR. Norris last
night. 'but there Is every reason why ii
should buckle on it's armor for a fight
to the finish on the deadly germ carrying
house fly and an effective cleanup cam
paign that not only will reduce the
likelihood of the development and spread
Of infantile paralysis, but will serve as
a strong safeguard against the develop
ment of other infectious diseases. Every
indication is to the effect that the public
is cooperating with us, and l believe the
ultimate results will be most gratifying. -

SHARKS OF GIANT SIZE
FOUND ALONG COASTS
National Geographic Society De
ec1;bes Man-Eater and Several
Other Varieties.

che tragic depredations OF man-eat ting
sharks along the Atlantic seaboard lend
IN especially timely interest to a COM
munication from DR.. Hugh NJ. Smith,
the foremost American authority on
fishes. addressed 20 the National Geo
graphic Society and released as a bull
letin.
When giant fishes are mentioned
most people will at once think of the
n.-ark. among which. indeed. are found
the largest fish now existing" writes
MI. Smith. "Of the many species of
sharks noteworthy on account of their
size there are about half a dozen which
are pre-eminent. These differ much in
their disposition, some being as harm
less as doves and others the incarnation
Of ferocity.
Six Times as Large as Man.
The sleeper shark (Sommosus mi
csocephalus). whose scientific name fits
1t SO admirably. appears to have de-
Seloped its body at the expense of its
brain. for it Is a sluggish. stupid glut-
ton. about six times as long as an av-
erage man. At home in the arctic re-
Eions. 4. sometimes makes visits as far
south as Cape Cod. the British Isles
and Oregon. It is most often observed
lying quietly on the surface appar-
emily doing and easily approached,
but at times when hungry, it rouses
itself, and fe-cely attacks whales, bit
Ing huge pieces out of their sides and
tails. and when feeding on the carcass
Of whale which has been killed by
hunters it is so vorac1ous that it per-
mits spears and knives to be thrust
into 1T without seeming to take any
notice.
Man-Eater Most Formidable.
One of the most prodigious and per-
haps the most formidable of sharks is
the .man-eater' (Carcharodon cahcha-
rias). 1t roams through all temperate
and tropical seas and everywhere is an

object Of dread. It's maximum length
inches long. While there are few au-
thentic instances .of, sharks attacking
human beings prior to the recent trag-
edy, there have undoubtedly been many
! cases where sharks simply swallowed
people who had fallen overheard, just
as they would swallow any other fcSd.
to devour person whole may be
judged from the finding of an entire
hundred pound sea lion in the stom-
ach of a thirty-foot shark on the Cal
thirty-six and one-half feet long had
jaws twenty inches wide. inside meas
ure. and teeth two and one-half inches
long. This may have been the great
fish of the Scripture narrative. and 1t
Is possible that at that time much
larger man-eaters existed than are now
known, as shark teeth with cutting
edges five inches long have been found
on the sea bottom, and these are De-
lieved by naturalists to have belonged
to sharks not long dead. The phos-
phate beds of South Carolina yield very
large fossil teeth of shark which
was related to the man-eater of the
present day. judging from the COM
parative size of these teeth Prof..
Goode thought that sharks seventy or
eighty feet long must have been COM
mon.
"Great Fish" That Swallowed Jonah.
Many years ago a Norwegian bishop
in a learned paper brought to the at
tention of the scientific and theological
worlds a shark which he attempted to
prove must have been the great fish
that swallowed Jonah. This was the
basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus),
known also as the elephant or bone
shark, which is an inhabitant of the
polar seas. but occasionally strays as
far south as Virginia or California. and
in former years was not rare in the
United States and British coasts. The
species has the habit at times of COL
lecting in schools at the surface and
basking in the sun with it's back part
ly out of water. 1t reaches a maximum
length of about fifty feet and is exceed
ed in size by only three or four animals
extant. Provided with small teeth, it
feeds on fishes and floating crustaceans.
and is not of a ferocious disposition.
1T is dangerous only by virtue of its
great bulk and when attacked it's pow
erful tail easily demolishes boats. In
former years the basking shark was
hunted for it's oil on the coast of Nor
way and Ireland; it also was harpoon-
ed on the shore of Massachusetts in the
early part of the last century, and as
many as twelve barrels of oil were
sometimes obtained from the liver of
one shark. There are many records of
basking sharks twenty-five to thirty
eight feet long from the coast of New
York, Massachusetts and Maine, but the
