Another Reason for Theory.

Another reason Miss Warner has for
believing that the disease comes from
horses is the fact that more boys than
girls have been stricken. Boys are
noted for their fondness to play around
horses. and animals carrying the germ
are thereby able to transmit the dis
ease to them.
lnfantile paralysis closely resembles
spinal meningitis. which disease is
common among horses. It is believed
that with the transmission of the germ
from the horse to the human body a
chemical process takes place which
causes slightly different effect on
the person. The actual germ has not
been isolated. but is known to be very
small.
An emulsion made from the spinal
cord of child who died from infantile
paralysis was injected into twenty-six
monkeys, which Immediately were
stricken with the disease, proving that
the germ Is easily transmitted. Miss
Warner believes that IL a serum taken
from the spine of a horse that died
from spinal meningitis were injected
into monkey infantile paralysis
would develop.

THE DAY IN DAVENPORT

New Fire Trucks Arriye.-The two
chemical wagons recently purchased
by the fire committee of the city coun-
Gil have finally arrived They are pow
erful looking machines and all painted
in red with gold trimmings. The
wagon for No. 6 hose house was taken
there TO await the coming of the fac
tory men for the official trials. These
will be made in several days and then
the acceptance seal of the city coun-
ell will be placed on the machines.
The two machines are the same size
and can develop 10 horse power.
They are guaranteed to make 80 miles
an hour by actual test They are pow
erful machines and with the 12-cylin-
der engine should experience little
trouble in making this mark. The
two machines are equipped with big
chemical tank and a reel OF hose which
will do away with the smaller cheml-
cal holders. The hose for the regular
hydrants is placed in the truck behind
the chemical tank and the ladders
placed on the side The mayor and
members of the Iowa City council are
expected in Davenport today and Will
inspect the new apparatus prepara-
tory TO purchasing some new appar-
atus for their town.

Inspect Swaney School.

Last Thursday County Agricultural
Expert l. F. Gilmore, accompanied by
Professor G. F. Baumeister of William
and Vashti college and IA farmers of
Peryton township motored to McNab,
in Putnam county, to look over the
John Swaney consolidated grade and
high school. with a view of ascertain
ing what would be the cost of or
ganizing, constructing and equipping
such a school in Perryton township.
The school at McNab includes a plot of
"a acres of finest land upon which are
constructed excellent administration
buildings, barns and laboratories.
There is also a large part of this
acreage reserved for use in the gaden-
ing industry by the students There
are laboratories for agriculture. eco
nomics and manual training in the
building now upon the site. A new
building, however, is now under con-
sheraton 1t is to consist of an as
sembIy room, and manual training lab

school is an accredited one in fact it is
the only accredited high school in
Putnam county. There are enrolled
in the high school alone 81 students,
whereas in the entire school, grade and
high, there are rs enrolled. The
school employs an expert force of six
teachers, each of whom receives a
monthly salary of $40. The buildings
are equipped with gas and water sys-
TENS, with fine equipped laboratories
and with play rooms for the children
Of the lower grades. The advisability
of such a consolidated school for farm
districts is we'll shown by the fact that

of Peter McRae occurred at his home
at Ills Perry street. The deceased
was a retired farmer and came to DaV-
export last October. He formerly re-
sided in Ontario. Canada. Surviving
are three brothers in Canada, a Sis
ter in California and two sisters in
Davenport. The latter were at the
bedside at the time of death.
To Examine Sick City Employees
Because he believes that many of the
policemen and fremen are staying at
home during the hot weather on tia
pretense of being sick, Mayor Ber
wald suggested to Alderman Gosch that
City Physician Stocks examine the
men reported off duty for illness, and
decide whether or not they are really
unable to work. Such a move, accord
ing to the mayor, would protect the
city from the graft that he believes is
being worked by the members of the
police and fire departments. When a
man is off duty for five or six weeks in
succession, the mayor believes that it
is time to have a physical examination
made. Whether or not this will be
done, has not been decided. Alderman
GOsch, chairman of the police and Ii
cense, and the fire committees Of the
city council, has taken the proposition
under advisement, and at a meeting
with the mayor soon, some action will
be taken.

HOlsteins Give Most Milk.

Tests, covering a wide range of
time and conditions, have shown that
the registered purebred Holstein-

local milk market because she gives
the most milk, and produces it at
the lowest possible cost. The dairy
man who is in the business for profit
cannot overlook the great economic
advantages of the sturdy, large

lily their equipage is discerned by
motorists if the wagons carry lights
they would not delay a single day in
affixing such lights. The lights add
very greatly to the safety of the oc-

cause they cause motorists to retard
their vehicles as soon as the lights
are seen. The light on a wagon acts
