SWEDEN

What can be done to cure and pre-.
vent infantile paralysis?
This question was put to all Of
Sweden's leading authorities on polio
myelitis, as the disease is scientifical-
ly known. and their answer has been
the same:
I'VE don't know"
This answer Is the more discourag-
ing In view of the fact that Sweden,
almost alone among European coun-
tries, has been repeatedly scourged
by the epidemic and. as result. has
a number of physicians and bacter-
biologists who have devoted themselves
for years almost exclusively 70 the
study of the disease.
Nowhere else, except in the Rock
efeller institute of New York, have
such exhaustive Investigations been
made, and the sum of them all is the
answer given above.
The disease first appeared in Swe-
den--or. rather, was first accurately
diagnosed as such--in 1881. Scat
tered cases appeared thereafter from
time to time. but the attention Of Swe-
dish physicians generally was first d.
rected to the disease by the epidemic
of 1906, which brought some 1900
cases. Then came a comparative lull,
although the succeeding years up to
1911 brought another 1900 cases.
Investigations into the nature Of the
disease and the manner of its trans
mission were just well under way when
the great epidemic of 1911-12-13 broke
out, with q total of almost 10000 cases
for the three years, an appalling total
for country with population of only
about 100000. Tie epidemic had a
mortality of 1879 per cent, and 1000
of the patients who recovered were
famed, great proportion permanently.
The disease stIll is epidemic in Swe-
den, hit the number of cases had
dropped to $40 In 1914 and has since
steadily decreaseds although word has
Just come of the appearance of about
score OF cases In western province.
The disease reaches its highest curve
In Sweden with children about two
years old. then drops rapidly and Is
comparatively infrequent above TWEEN
ty.five years Of age. although cases Of
sufferers as old us forty-one have oc-
Cured. The country districts have a
higher relative proportion Of adult vic
tins than the cities.
There are over 10000 hotels, restau-
rants and other eating places in Swe-
den, and their employees number d.
600. More than one-half of the estab-
lishments are I'm rural districts.

panies are joining In the great work

Rigrnor Larsen is the name of the
first Danish woman TO receive a d.
ploma as a theological candidate. She
is native Of Copenhagen, and is twen-
ty-four years old. She spent seven
years preparing herself for the exami-
nation. She originally intended to
study history and take English and
French as auxiliary studies. But her
professors told her that she was too
young and inexperienced TO pass the
examination In that branch. Then she
took up the Christian religion. passing
the examination in Hebrew in 1914 and
completing the rest OF the regular d.
vinity course last summer. Being pre-
vented by the laws Of the country from
serving as minister in the state
church of Denmark she can do no bet
ter for the time being than to wait I'M
til she can get position in the
schools of the capital. Her next step
will be to take course in pedagogy at
the university.

came to listen to the talk, and said:

The owner felt perfectly safe and said
with n gesture: "You may have 1t
for $780," 'Then I'll take it," said
the soldier, and handed the owner
5000 In big bills. SO many people were
present that the owner pocketed the
money-and his chagrin.

Gap" Huston Wants For
mer Mackman to Cover
Up for Gilhooley
By CHANDLER d. RICHTER

When Manager Mack. of the Athletics.
handed Rube Oldring his unconditional re-
lease he took 1t for granted that the famous
outfielder was in reality through with base
ball, but IL a hurried trip from Washington
to Shiloh, N. j. this morning results as ex-
pected the former Mackman will be in the
lineup of the New York American League
team when it takes the field at Washington
tomorrow.
Part Owner and Vice President Cap"
Huston called Manager Mack on the long
distance phone from Washington yesterday
afternoon and asked the Athletics manager
IL he would be willing to make trade for
Oldring Mack replied that he could not
make trade for Oldrlng because the latter
had been given his unconditional release
and therefore was no longer the property of
the club
Mack impressed upon Huston that Old
ring had assured him that he would not
consent to any trade as he really desired
TO retire from the game and that the bril-
liant outfelder was given his unconditional
release only because Mack felt certain that
there was no chance for any other manager
or owner to induce him to return to the
game.
Huston asked Mack If he could have the
consent OF the Athletics to dcker with Old
ring, and was told to go as far as he liked
Mack says that his one reason in giving
Huston consent to diclier with Odring was
to assure the fans that he had made no
attempt to dispose of Oldring's services on
the market.
If Mack desired to trade or sell Oldring
he could have made n profitable deal but
he insists that he is through selling ball
players and that he will give away any
player who is not satisfied with conditions
at Shibe Park. Had Mack desired he could
have got in touch with Oldrfng and made
large sum of money by selling him to
New York. but the local leader gave Hus-
ton full consent to dlcker with Oldring for
nothing.
Mack points out that oldrng is free
