New York, Aug. 15.-The epidemic of
infantile paralysis has taken turn for
the worse despite the continuation OF
unusually cool weather. During the
twenty four hours ending at 10 a. m.
161 new cases and thirty-nine deaths
were reported, an increase in new cases
Of nearly 100 per cent over yesterdays
figures. Failure of physicians to re-
port cases over the Sunday holiday was
suggested as reason for the increase.
Since the epidemic began there has
been 6,532 cases and 1,464 deaths
New Jerseys state wide quarantine
against the plague was put into effect
today. Special guards were placed at
all terminal points to prevent children
under 16 years of age from entering the
state.
day by DR.. Abraham Zingher, Of Will
ard Parker hospital, to try the use of
normal blood serum, obtained from
parents as method Of rendering their
children immune to infantile paralysis.
Many of the cases Of the disease have
been treated in the Willard Parker
hospital during the present epidemic.
The theory on which DR.. Zingher and
his assistants are working Is that the
blood of the normal adult contains the
anti bodies which neutralize the virus
Of poliomyelitis on infantile paralysis
Some physicians believe the presence
Of these anti-bodies Is due to the fact
that the parents have had the disease
in an unrecognized form. 1t is stated
If the theory of the anti-bodies is cor
rect. the blood serum treatment may
prove as effective in preventing infan-
tile paralysis as vaccination is in pre-
venting typhoid.

President Wilson has asked Congress
for power to stop the great railroad

he called the 10000 strikers into the
military service of the government as
reservists and ordered them to main
tain normal railroad schedules.
In this connection 1t has been noted as
worthy of consideration that Monday
$4,000 troops were ordered to the Mex
