By DEEMS TAYLOR

Doctor Blevin promptly quarantined
every one in the house except the post
man. He had to allow the postman to
90 back and forth, he explained, be-
cause he could not legally interfere with
the mails. Uncle Sans mails are
sacred; they must be delivered to the
community regardless Of the cost to the
community. You can no more quaran-
tine a postman than you can force a
mail truck to slow down to thirty miles
an hour in a crowded street.
During the first fortnight o. its panic
Anyville barred all children without re-
gard to where they came from. But
that made bad feeling. Protests began
to come in from Anyville, n. j., and
Anyville ten miles up the line. So
finally the embargo was limited to
New York children alone. Not that
Anyville minded very much. One sus-
poets that the sometimes excessive zeal
of Doctor Blevin and the Sheriff is not
altogether unconnected with certain
satisfaction at being in position to
show the city folks thing or two.
All in all. an exhilarating period. Dr.
Blevin was heard to say loosely the
other night: Tell you what, boys, |
almost hope this scare keeps up a while
longer. There's a pretty good profit
in health certificates at 81 per" But
you mustn't take the doctor too serious
". He does his work conscientiously
enough.
Not every one is happy, though. The
Anyville business men are seriously an
noyed, in fact They say that this scare
-"hysteria" is the exact term they use,
believes bad for business. Their
automobile trade has fallen off scandal
ously. If they had their way there
would be no quarantine at all.
In some instances they have almost

had their way. At Anyville-on-tAe-
Sound, for example, there is public
bathing beach that enjoys great popu-
larity among New Workers. When the
local Health Department announced a
quarantine against New York children
there was great indignation in trade
circles. Finally the Anyville Board of
Trade submitted a plan which, they
thought, would settle things to every
ones satisfaction. If there must be a
quarantine, they said, let it be laid upon
the inhabitants of Anyville. The tran
sients who came to the beach hired bath
ing suits and bath houses, beside spend
ing considerable sums of money at Any
ville's stores and garages. The local
folks. on the other hand, owned their
own bathing suits and put them on at
home. By putting the Board of Trades
scheme into effect, the citizens of Any
vile would be kept out of danger, while
the golden stream that flowed from the
transients would flow on uninterrupted
To DR.. Blevin's credit be it said that he
did not find the Board of Trade plan
feasible.

Won CAN FIND AWHILE ON
THE MAP. SHUT YOUR EYES
AND JAB.

AWHILE is not a real place-that is,
NOT any one particular place. 1t is in
New York, or New Jersey, or Connecti-
cut or Northern Pennsylvania. 1t is
any one of the towns and small cities
that outlie New York within a radius
Of fifty miles or so. But, call it what
Won like and locate it where you please,
It's habits are about the same every
where.
When the infantile paralysis scare
overlook us and New Workers began
burrving their children off to the coun-
try 70 get them out of harms way, Any
Vile had a small panic of its own. It's
citizens were not quite sure just what
poliomyelitis was, nor whether it was
infectious or merely contagious. But
they did know that lot of New York
children had It, and they didn't intend
TO have their own exposed to it. So
AWHILE began barring New York chill
dren from It's midst.
Now, you can't blame Anyville for
this embargo. A quarantine is a legiti-
mate and effectual means of limiting an
endemic. Still, one might wish that
AWHILE had gone about the matter
little differently.
Anyville's Board Of Health is a rather
rudimentary organization, having a
peace strength of one, that one being

medical school in 1869 and classes

myths. So when Anyville declared

THERE is. AS YOU MAY HAVE
NOTED. A CERTAIN FAMILY
RESEMBLANCE AMONG
BOARDS OF TRADE.

Some of the acts of the Anyville quar-
antine officials were arbitrary and tyran-
meal. Yes, but so was the conduct of
our War Department when it modified
our militia for active service in threat
ened Mexican war and then decided to
keep the miIitiamen drilling in Mexico
until Christmas.
The Board of Trade of Anyville-on-the-
Sound showed symptoms of being near
sighted and greedy when it preferred to
subject Anyville's citizens to discomfort
and inconvenience rather than lose a
little hoped-for revenue. Don't forget,
though, that for years the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce opposed the elevated
railroad between North Station and
South Station, on the ground that people
would not buy at the stores unless they
were forced to walk past them; that it is
now Directing to the proposed Boston
subway extension on the same grounds.
For that matter, don't forget that
boards of trade of eighty years ago OBJ
jected to the steam locomotive because
it would ruin the market for oats.
Some of Anyville's citizens are not
above making money out of a calamity.
But neither are our armor plate manu-
facturers and munitions makers. Is
every member of the Navy League
self-sacrifcing idealist? Look over the
membership list and see what you think.
Anyville is not wholly admirable. She
has shortcomings-and many of them.
But she has something else, too. Any
vile has company.

THE paralysis epidemic is ebbing, and
certain estimable citizens of Any
vile are just bit-well, not ex-
.ctlv disappointed, perhaps. Family re-
rretful, let US say. 1t isn't that the peo-
ne of Anyville are particularly bar
barous. They are probably no more
eager to see children sicken and die
han YOU are. Just the same, if there
could be some way of prolonging GER
tsin results of the epidemic without
continuing the epidemic itself they
wouldn't be sorry. For through infan-
t1e paralysis came prosperity to some
in Anyville, at least, and they hate to
see il wane.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-03

cieties and toying with the idea of con-
scription.
Anyville's quarantine officials were
neither experienced nor efficient. 1t is
strongly suspected that some of the citi-
zens who obtained jobs were more in
terested in their pay than in their work.
1t is thought that some positions were
even given out to pay off political debts.
Er-do you suppose that by any chance
Anyville had heard of the New York
Board of Education, or of certain gentle
men who used to draw pay for sitting
in condemnation proceedings, or of some
of the deserving Democrats who hold
Office in our national government?

and drawing their salaries. They have
patrolled the roads about Anyville and
the Anyville station. They have
stopped travellers, whether by auto or
by rail, and have cross-examined them
industriously. The questions have not
always been very intelligent; in fact,
they have generally been rather foolish.
But that was not the point, after all.
It's the asking that is important, not
the questions.

DUCKING FOR CHILDREN is A
GAME THAT IS MUCH LIKE
DUCKING FOR APPLES.

If the travellers have come in by au-
tomobiles and have had no children visi-
Bile the special squad of back-seat-look-
ers-under have searched diligently to
make sure that there are none con-
cealed about the machine. 1t sounds
like a rather feeble attempt at humor
to say that frequently the searchers
hare looked under the back seats OF au-
tomobiles and have even opened tool
boxes and unrolled rugs in order to be
certain that there were no children be-
ing Struggled through, but it is the
truth. Anyville's deputies have made
up in thoroughness what they lacked in
common sense.
Not that the quarantine has been In
variably effectual. The Sheriff himself
patrolled the station platform and met
every train that arrived, but he forgot
to have any one patrol the other side OF
the trains, so that Of late he has been
assailed by a horrid fear that some ne
farious parents may have slipped Oft
the train on the far side with their off,
spring and so eluded him.
