BLAME MOTOR CARS
FOR BABY PLAGUE

Cincinnati, Oct. 2S.-Automobiles,
not germs. are to blame for the cpl
demic of i~nfantile paralysis that has
swept the country, according to the
assertion made by DR.. Thomas F. Har-
rington, deputy commissioner OF health
of Massachusetts, in an address before
the annual convention here eff the
American Public Health association.
"%lnfantile paralysis is due TO chem
ical agents, namely. gases and fumes
given of in the atmosphere by the
combustion of oils and fluids used IN
automobiles" DR.. Harrington declar-
ed. Gases of gas fumes poisoning
and cases of infantile paralysis agree
in every essential.
'In infantile paralysis we are deal.
ing with a chemical agent, and not a
micro-organism. Infants and old per.
sons are more susceptible to the NAL
ady.
Although infantile paralysis has
been epidemic for years. its prevalence
in epidemic form dates from the intro.
duction and wide use OF the antomo
lille"

SHORT MEASURE
SOME COMPLAINTS FILED ON
GASOLINE VENDING
MACHINES.

Vermillion, Oct. 2g.-Many com
plants have been made to the state
food department office here and 10
department inspectors concerning al
legged short measure OF gasoline given
by owners OF gasoline pumps and
vending machines. The food com
missioner is also state oil Inspector
but claims he is powerless under the
law to prevent short measure in gas
oline vending machines. That the
inspection of such machines is a mat
ter of urgent need Is shown by ad-
vice received from the bureau Of
standards, Washington, ID. &. An In
.vestigation made by that bureau has
shown that large numbers of such
machines give short measure and
that the American public is suffering
enormous losses annually as a result.
Some types of machines are inherent
ly incorrect and others permit tam
pering by the dealer.
Another cause of much complaint
during the past year has been the
quality of gasoline sold in the state.
The standard fixed by the state oil
inspector prohibits the sale of gaso-
line having a gravity less than 81 de
grees Beaume. Considerable product
having a gravity of SIS degrees 10 Sc
degrees has been shipped into the
state, but the inspector has insisted
that this be sold only as naphtha. Ii
is believed that there have been very
few violations of this requirement.
Barrel shipments received by indi-
inspectors, but If any consumers have
viduals are seldom inspected by state
reason to believe that the gasoline
they buy is of lower gravity than the
standard, or lower than the value
marked on the barrel. samples will
be examined at the laboratory here
and all cases will be investigated
The law requires every barrel tc
show the minimum gravity of its con.
tents and prohibits the use of any
false or fraudulent claims on barrels
or other packages.

Take that place across the street,
he said, indicating Jefferson CoIleRe.
There used to be good trade from thero,
but now most of the students board and
do not eat here. But we have more than
made up for their lost patronage from
the bigger establishments on Chestnut
street and from the theatres. Drop In

that comes here"
This latter remark led Mrs. Harts
thoughts into new channels.
II mentioned the chorus girls. They
are only one part of our trade. There's a

said before the prices haven't been raised
here since I first worked for ''old Jack"
A glance at the menu card and at the
patrons about the tables corroborated this
latter remark. Planked shad with bread
and butter was to be had for 80 cents.
steak and potatoes cost cents less.
Other dishes were in proportion and all
included bread and butter. A square

for 20 cents or a quarter. The inevitable

A baseless rumor that the historic res-
taurant was TO close It's doors somewhat
irritated the proprietor, and the Easter
lilies and hyacinths that graced his desk
huttered in echo to his indignant denial.
II have no intention of closing this

that his statement was scarcely credited

bringing me, Notan?" he cried
'It is the truth, my jeddak," replied the
psychologist. "In fact. the impressions
