Infantile Paralysis

Not only has the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis in New York City
assumed alarming proportions, but
it appears to be spreading to other
widely separated cities, which is
not surprising considering the great
amount of travel to and from the
Metropolis, where nearly 900 cases
more than one-fifth of them fatal
have been reported. While fears
that the epidemic may exten / over
the greater part of the country
are not at present justified the
menace of the situation must be
recognized and no community
should neglect a single precoution.
That the United States Public
Health Service is to cooperate
with municipal and State authori-
ties in combating the disease is
good news, even while it indicates
the serious view the government
experts take of the outbreak.
Unfortunately science is not well
informed as to the origin ano
transmission of the disease, and II
is announced that experiments and
investigation upon an elaborate
scale are to be undertaken at once
and it is to be hoped they will re,
suit is discoveries that will provide
new and effective weapons fol
checking the scourge. Health Of
ficials and physicians generally are,
however, familiar with certain or
binary precautions, to be taken
against the spread of diseases OF
this nature, and these should be
communicated to the public every
where, with the urgent recon-
mendation that they be adopted.

THURSDAY.

After capturing second line German
positions along a six-mile front south
Of the Somme, in northern France, and
making notable advances north of that
stream, the French temporarily halted
their infantry offensive. Hard fight
ing continued along the British line
and a slight advance was scored by
General Haig's forces in the vicinity
Of Thiepval.
The French push to the south Of
the river now threatens Barieux and
Villers-C arbonnel, crucial positions in
the German defence of the railway
center of Peronne.
Russian forces have broken through
the first line positions of Won linden
burg in the Rye sector, according to
Petrograd advices. The Russians

Marines

Washington, July 13.-Living
up to it's reputation as the greatest
single factor for peace in America,
the United States Marine Corps,
with the loss of a few men killed
and wounded, has quietly and eff
fectually quelled the latest revolt in
Santo Domingo, and, without time
lost in undue parley has forced the
rebel chieftains to lay down their
arms and return to peaceful pur-
suits, according to late advices
from Monte Christi.
United States Marines now con-
troll the entire island on which
Haiti and Santo Domingo are
situated, and that control was
gained without serious fighting Oh
great loss of life it is claimed, be-
cause of the thorough prepared
ness OF the marines for the bust
ness at hand and their knowledge
of the people and their ways.

EVIDENCE IN A SINGLE HAIR
Human or Animal? What Kind OF
Animal? Scientists Can Tell
Without Fail.

To the German analyst hair is
packed with information. The approx
innate age and physical condition can
be constructed by an examination OF
a single hair, Melville Davisson Post
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
The hair of every animal has GER
tain distinguishing characteristics. Ii
is not to be mistaken by competent
investigator. Some animals, as for
example the cow, have three types of
hair. These will be known by their
structure. Under proper microscop.
ical examination hairs will be as cas-
lily distinguished by an expert as va
rieties of trees in grove will be dis,
tinguished by forester.
There was a case in which dagger
found on the prisoner had few short
hairs caught entangled in nick Of the
blade. He explained this by saying
that he had used the dagger to kill
rabbit that he had found trapped in a
hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination OF the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hui
man origin, but they also added that
they were not rabbit hairs-they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prison.
er had worn a great coat trimmed with
squirrel fur He had, In fact, carefully
washed the knife after the assassina-
ton and thereby removed every evil
dence of his act, but, unfortunately
for him, he made the mistake OF at
tempting to dry the dagger by wiping
it on the fur lining of his great coat.
His Explanation.
The streets were crowded with idle
miners and the city authorities, taking
advantage Of the fact, had good
amount of work done putting in sew
