CARRANzA REJECTS
AMERICAN PROPOSAL

Washington, Aug. General Car
ranza's reply to the last American
note, accepting his suggestion for a
joint commission to adjust border diff
ferences but proposing broader
scope for the commissions work, was
delivered to the state department by
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-
dor designate.
It announces the appointment OF
three Mexican commissioners with In
structions to devote their attention
preferably to solution of the points
made in the previous note.
Thus the de facto government ap,
parently rejects the proposal that the
commission consider other questions
than the military situation and limits
It's discussions to the subjects origin
ally suggested by Carranza-with-
drawal of American troops from Mex
leo: formulation of protocol to ccv-
er future operations against bandits
and investigation of interests which
may have promoted border raids.
Whether this will be satisfactory to
the United States government has not
been indicated.

PARALYSIS
AND RUNNING NOSES


Infantile paralysis, an epidemic of
which has been raging in New York
is another of the diseases Of child
hood which authorities in contagious
diseases state secure their entry
through the nose and throat and are
passed on to new victims by the mu-
cous discharges of patients suffering
from them. The list is a long one,
including nearly every contagious dis
ease of childhood Measles, humps,
scarlet fever, whooping cough, sore
throat, tonsilitis, pneumonia, grippe
and common colds are doubtless
spread in this manner.
In the warnings concerning infan-
tile paralysis great emphasis is
placed on viewing every child who
shows symptoms of common cold
during an epidemic, with suspicion.
This is especially important as it is
now believed that many infections
with the germs of infantile paralysis
never go to paralysis and that a
child, supposedly with nothing but a
common cold, may infect another
child who may die or become hope
lessly crippled from this terrible dis
ease.
l wish that might persuade every
parent and teacher to respect the
do in
ming noses of childhood. AS yet
Wisconsin has escaped an epidemic
infantile paralysis this year, but it
may come. The other diseases, how
ever, we may have in great numbers
each year. Our need of preventing
them is still greater than preventing
infantile paralysis, in spite of pub
licity the latter disease is now re-
ceiving.
Every child with a common cold
who shows signs of feverishness, who
acts listless, whose appetite is poor
is a suspicious character and should
be excluded from contact with others.
He should be put to bed, for his own
sake and for the sake of other child
rem, until his temperature is normal.
And yet, one of the most intelligent
school teachers | know, spurred with
the desire of good attendance records
and high scholarship, urged her child
rem not to stay out of school for
common colds" Until she and her
kind, and parents generally, come to
have. a better appreciation of the re-
latively greater value of life and
health, we shall continue to slaugh-
ter and cripple our children by con-
tagious diseases infantile paralysis
among the others.

of settlement proposed by Mayor
Mitchell and Oscar s. Straus, chair
man of the public service commission,

had agreed to it.
One Of the chief concessions in the

Monroe County was named in hon
or of President James Monroe origin
ator of the famous Monroe doctrine.
Oconto County derived its name
from an Indian word of uncertain Or
igin. AS first applied to the Oconto
river. it has been variOusly interpre-
ted as ''red ground "place Of the
pickerel,' and "black bass" Upon
many of the early maps of the region
the stream was set down as Black
Bass river, which seems to bear out
the contention that such was the
equivalent of its Indian appellation.
