EPIDEMIC SPREADING

Albany, N. r., July 7.-According to re- ports received at health department head quarters tonight, there are only 40 cases of infantile paralysis in the state outside of Greater New York. Eight new cases were reported during the forenoon, but the fact that no reports of new cases reached the state headquarters during the afternoon strengthened the belief of of ficials that the disease would not reach the epidemic state upstate.
 Word was received from the New York health authorities late today that no chil- dren will be permitted to leave the city for fresh air' camps unless they had been examined and found without infec- ton.

APPEAL MADE ID RED CROSS FOR
 AID BY NEW YORK
Nurses Wanted in the Fight Against Epidemic States Health Authori-
 ties Are on the Field

New York, July 7-Health authorities of New York decided late tonight to abandon for the present at least, plan decided upon in the afternoon to appeal % the American Red Cross for nurses to aid in stamping out the scourge of in- fantile paralysis in this city, which since June 1 has caused 196 deaths among children. Health Commissioner Emerson said he was now of the opinion it would not be necessary to ask for outside aid as the hospitals of this city have agreed to extend their help more freely.
 The call for help was sent out after a day devoted by health authorities and the most prominent physicians of the greater city to a discussion of means by which the spread of the disease can be checked Some encouragement was found in the fact that fewer new cases were reported today than on Thursday and Wednesday, All the medical men agreed, however, that only by unremit- ting vigilance and the, strict enforcement of every known sanitary precaution, could the epidemic be kept within bounds.
 Dr. Emerson declared that one of the steps he had decided upon was the prose- cution of physicians who have failed to report cases of the disease they have at tended
 AnOtner serious phase or the SlIudllOn was reported today by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, which has found that in the congested districts of the city frightened mothers have interned their children in their ten ement houses, in many instances with windows closed. Such action, it was pointed out, is likely to have serious effects.
 Chldren's reading rooms in the public libraries have been ordered closed as a precautionary measure, and the order barring children from moving picture the atres will not be modified until condi- tions improved. Fairgrounds in various parts of the city Were ordered closed earlier in the day.
 The proposal for general quarantine of the city was abandoned by Dr. Elm erson as impracticable.
 Dr. Emerson frankly admitted that his department had been unable to deter mine the actual cause of the epidemic All theories which previously had been held apparently have been disproved, he said. Proper isolation of the cases seems to be the only hope of preventing spread of the disease, he declared.

WASHINGTON TAKES HAND

Washington, July 7.--The federal pub- lie health service took a hand today in the fight to end the epidemic of infantile paralysis in New York city and to pre- vent it's spread elsewhere. Six govern ment experts were ordered to New York to cooperate with state and city authori- ties and steps were taken to organize a federal corps of surgeons and labora- tory scientists to work out preventative measur
 Assistant Surgeon General w. c. Buck CT left here tonight to participate in con- ferences at New York regarding means of preventing general spread of the disease. Surgeon c. H. Lavinder, sta toned at New York, will be in charge of the corps of experts.
 A statement issued today by Dr Fucker explained that there seldom is an epi- denic area expect possibly in territory immediately contagious. Usually, it is said, the spread comes a year later, but so many children have been taken from New York to escape the disease that im- mediate spread is possible.

RADCLIFFE GIVEN DIAMOND PIN BY
 CIVIC CHAMBER
Retiring General Manager HOnOred at Lunch Yester- day-Bush Talks on
 Farm Loan Bank

W. c. Radcliffe, retiring general man.
 ager of the Chamber of Commerce, who
 was the guest of honor at the luncheon
 of the business council yesterday at
 o'clock at the Tutwiler, was presented with a handsome diamond stickpin, set in platinum. The presentation was made by John w. Sibley, former president of the chamber, during whose term MT. Radcliffe was brought to Birmingham. MT. Sibley paid a high tribute to the ability and the energy of MT. Radcliffe and told of the untiring and loyal work he had rendered the civic body of the city. MT. Radcliffe replied in a brief but appro- priate speech, voicing his appreciation of the cooperation he had received as
 general manager of the Chamber of Com
 merce. Mir Radcliffe, who retires next week, stated that it was his intention to
 leave for months vacation after which he would return to the city with the view
 of locating here permanently in business.
 Morris w. Bush, president of the cham Der, made an able and instructive address
 on the Federal Farm Loan Bank" MT. Bush declared that what the federal re-
 serve bank and the new currency sys- tenn had been for the big business men, the manufacturer and the commercial in-
 terests, the federal farm loan bank, ln a. still greater degree, would be for the
 farmer. This institution will revolution ize the agricultural interests of the na-
 tion and the farmers of the south will
 be the chief benefciaries,' said MT. Bush. J. D. Moore, president of the business council, told of the efforts Birmingham
 had already put forward to get one of
 these farm loan banks located here and he outlined the plans for a further prose-
 cution of the fight for the bank after
 the commission begins the work of locat- ing them.
 The business council adopted resolutions
 praising the city commission and the city health department for getting the serv- ices of a federal health expert in the ty-
 phoid fever campaign and urged that all
 citizens cooperate with the city by hav- ing themselves vaccinated with the ty- phoid serum.
 Two new members of the chamber were introduced at the luncheon yesterday, A. C. Crowder, state manager of the Pru-
 dential Life Insurance company, and R.
 w. Daniel, assistant general freight agent
 of the Seab oard Air Line, who succeeds

 The state department received infor- nation today that many Americans who hastened to the border or the seacoast when the crisis seemed grave, already are returning to the interior of Mexico. Some have turned back from Vera Cruz. Others are going in from Eagle Pass and other border cities. Department officials are using every effort to dissuade them from this course, at least until clear un- derstanding has been reached through diplomatic interchanges.

attitude of the Carranza government came today in the form of a warning communicated by MT. Arredondo to the
 state department at the direction of Gen eral Carranza in connection with the bat tie between Villa and Carranza forces at Corralitos. The message admitted a se- rious defeat for the Carranza troops, and asked that the American forces be eau toned to exercise unusual vigilance along the border, particularly in the Big Bend region of Texas, as there was reason to believe the bandits were headed that way to precpitate new border incident The message was promptly forwarded to Gen eral Funston as a matter of informa- tion.
 At the same time the state department received a report from an American in Mexico that he>had seen and talked with Villa personally near Corralitos few ranza message. The bandit leader was said to have entirely recovered from wounds received at Columbus, except that he used cane and walked with a slight limp.

added to the list of the departed. A

Margaret A. Carter was born in
Medina County, Ohio. and came with
her family to Ottokee in the fall of
1853, where her brother ]. w. Carter
had previously established newspa-
per, The Fulton County Union. The
family's coming to Ottokee was in
tended as a visit-they expected to
return to Medina in the Spring, but
the charm of the new country and
the cordial welcome give them by the
Pioneers induced them to stay. Mrs.
Carter sold the farm in Eastern Ohio
and Ottokee became the home and the

MY NEIGHBOR

When the Creator, Divine,
Wrought this neighbor of mine.
70 give her angelic beauty,
Of faith and life and duty;
He seized a sunbeam's ray
Of an early morn in May,
And mixed it with the clay.
Nor cen then his hand did stay;
For forbearance as a virtue,
Always steadfast and true,
From a lily was moulded,
AS it in the valley unfoulded,
Kissed by a dew-drop from Heaven.
All this he then did'st leaven
With a love divinely strong
Rhythmical as sacred song
That he'd hastened to secure
From morning zephyr pure.
Then the Creator did'st waive
The wand of life, and tt US gave
To US this sweet. womanly queen
Queenly of purpose, thought and
mien.
And thus was chisled and wrought,
Of highest purposes and thought,
From things divine, and common clay
My neighbor just over the way.
Many days of life's sunshine
Blessed this woman, divine;
But more of storms and flooding rain
With sorrow, grief and pain.
Has been her sad and lowly lot,
Withall she was brave-falt'red not;
And her sweet, sanity face
And queenly, womanly grace
Tho the heart was wrenched
And grief's fires unquenched-
Bespoke of hope most serene
And a trust both firm and keen.
AS falls a benediction from above
She sheds her life and love,
Like cooling showers on a summer:
day,
Along life's rough and stony way
An ever hope-inspiring balm
AS soothing as the sweetest psalm.
