Samuel G. Dixon. NJ. D., declaring
State quarantine against those suffer
ing with this disease. DIR. Raunick
suggested the following 'don'ts" as
aids in preventing the disease:
Don't kiss and fondle children IL
either they or you have been exposed
Don't cough. sneeZe or eXpectorate
without using a handkerchief to retain
possible germs.
Don't let your children attend school

DR.. Raunick said that frequently
infantile paralysis was mistaken for
rheumatism. and that a pain at the
back of the neck, or sharp pains
through the system should be promptly
investigated. He added. flies and mo-
squitoes need not bite a person to carry
disease. They spread the germs with
the aid of their feet. Flies walking

Millionaire Troopers
Stop in Harrisburg

The slender, square, -jawed original
of Mr.. Christy's "Cavalryman"-sev-
eral score of him in fact-invaded
Harrisburg for few hours yesterday
when the First squadron of the New
York cavalry regiment of the regular
army stopped here while enroute to
the Mexican border. The first squad
ron is made up of troops from SYRIA
cuse, Albany, Buffalo and Brooklyn
New York's famous Squadron L."
Many of the troopers and officers are
millionaire clubmen and many are the
tales that were told of the genial eff
forts of the dusty troopers to buy a
Pullman" to raise a purse" for the
P. r. r. Y. Nj. c. A. because of the
service they got from the swimming
pool, of the polo ponies, etc.
Just about one hundred dusty and
cinder- begrimed young horsemen of
the First New York Cavalry, COM
ing from Buffalo, spent few hours in
this city yesterday afternoon and es-
tablished their temporary headquarters
at the Y. NJ. C. A. at Second and Lo-
Gust streets. The majority of the men
were college graduates composing one
of the crack New York Cavalry troops,
and they had their horses with them,
although the latter remained in the
train.
1t seemed that the young soldiers
hadn't seen a bathtub or a shower for
over two weeks and it came as a god
send to them when Secretary Homer
Black offered them the freedom of the
showers and gave them plenty of soap
and towels. Never before has the
Y. NJ. c. A. seen such joyful splashing
and never was water more sincerely
appreciated, when externally applied.
The boys had left New York sometime
Thursday and travelled all night, and
there was no water for washing pur-
poses on the train. incidentally certain
dealers in underwear and toilet articles
did considerable business while the
soldiers were in town. Yale, Prince
ton, Minnesota and a great many other
colleges were represented in the troop
of clean-cut, tine-looking men who
passed on to the next lap of their jour
ney to Brownsville, Texas, at o'clock
yesterday afternc on.

DR.. Ballet Condemns
Constitution as Waste Study

New York. July s.-"The study of
the Constitution of the United States
is a waste of time" said DR.. Thomas
NJ. Ballet, dean of the school of peda-
gogy. New York University, before the
department of higher education of the
National Education Association at
teachers college, Columbia University,
Yesterday.
DIR. Ballet was discussing the elect
i've system. Following his remark
about the Constitution he said:
Most of our political problems rest
on a sociological and economic basis.
Hence all high school pupils should be
required to study economics and So
GEOLOGY as fit for citizenship. Yet
these subjects are always elective and
are rarely taught in high schools. All
high school pupils should be required
to study the problems of public health
and other city problems and to take a
course in ethics"
