which the disease exists.

Wnlcn tne disease eXlStS.
Polomyelitis or infantile paraly-
sis affects chiefly but not exclu-
sively, young persons; it may not
infrequently affect adults and no
age is absolutely free of danger of
infection.
Moreover, as indicated, the dis
ease is one that can be communicat-
ed by healthy persons who never
have been in contact with the sick,
but who are themselves well. Hence
intelligent measures of prevention
must take account of and deal with
those potential carriers of infection.

CONGRESS SEEMS LIKELY TO
AID STATE ROAD BUILDING

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 11.-At
last the Fedaral government seems
to be headed in the direction for
furnishing extensively and valuable
aid to the State of Florida in the
matter of the construction and main
tenance of roads.
The House committee ON roads
has just reported out a bill, with its
unanimous approval, which marks a
long step toward Federal aid in road
building throug ghout the country. 1t
is obvious that the bill is going to
have strong support.
Members of Congress from the
interior districts are declaring that
all OF the resources of the govern
ment shall not be lavished on the
army and navy. They are insisting g
very positively and directly that the
interior of the country shall be
recognized in appropriation legisla-
tion. Their demand is being given
heed by the advocates of prepared
ness legislation, who see trouble
ahead for the preparedness program
unless those interior members are
shown substantial recognition.
The good roads bill now before
Congress, under the most promising g
auspices, would give to the State of
Florida every year $1S3,750, pro-
vided the State complies with GER
tain conditions, among which is the
requirement that the State shall
raise half of the money for roads
matching the governments money
dollar for dollar.
The apportionment is based on
population and post-road mileage
within the State. For the entire
country the bill carries an annual
appropriation of s25,O0O,000 to aid
the States in road building.
Under the provisions of the bill all
construction and maintenance OF
roads under the act shall be in
charge of the State highway depart
ment of each State, and it is made
compulsory that all States which dc
not now have such State highway
departments shall create them by the
year 1920, in order to avail them
selves of the Federal appropriations

IL YEAR OLD BOY
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 11-Albert
Bishop, twelve years old, the Mariet-
ia boy who shot himself in the head
yesterday to keep from going to
school, is the first child in the his
tory of Georgia, to deliberately at
tempt suicide.
The boy is a son of A. A. Bishop,
we'll known citizen, and is a
bright youngster of apparently
sound mind. He didn't like going to
school, but his parents thought lit
tie OF his objections until yeserday
when they heard a pistol shot and
found him lying on the floor.
The bullet entered the temple, but
took a downward course and came
out of the cheek without inflicting a
fatal wound The boy later regain
ed consciousness and said his only
reason was that he did not want to
go back to school.
In Russia and Germany, partic-
ularly during the past ten years,
suicide among school children and
youths have increased to a remark
able degree, but the Marietta case
is said to be almost unique in
America.

MOUNT DORA WINS TROPHY
IN CYCLE TEAS STATE CONTEST

Jacksonville, Jan. 11-Mount Do
ra, for the second successive year,
won the silver trophy given hy the
Children's Home Society of Florida
through the courtesy of the Green
leaf n Crosby Company Of this city,
for securing the largest amount Of
money in proportion to the popula-
tion for the work of the home So
ciety
The money was secured through
the "cycle Of teas" About thirty
cities and towns in every portion of
Florida entered the contest. In 1914
the money was secured through the
"Save~a-Baby Club movement,
which evidently was the more popu-
lar method, for. through this move
ment a total of practically $4,000
was secured for the society, while in
1915 through the ''cycle of teas
club" total of $1.4S9.41 was Sc
cured. This fund, however, will be
of tremendous help to the home So
ciety in the continuance of its work
for homeless children of the state.
The society wants to say a "big
thank you" to every one in Florida
who contributed even small
amount to the fund.
Mount Dora not only has won the
cup on the per capita basis, having
secured S3 1-2 cents for every indi-
vidual in the town-in accordance
with the last official census-but has
won the cup over any other city in
the State regardless of population,
having sent in total of $31S.5O, or
one-tourth of the whole fund.
