POL|0MYEL|1|s CLINIC
Fifty Victims Examined by the
Noted Expert.
Burlington the Fourth Place in DR.
Robert w. Lovett's Tour of ver-
mont-Many Patients Show
Improvement,

Fifty persons, mostly children, from
Burlington and the surrounding towns,
who had been the victims of poliomyelitis
were examined yesterday by DR.. Robert
w. Lovett. poliomyelitis expert, and sur
geon at the Childrens hospital in Boston.
at an all day clinic at the Mary Fletcher
hospital. Dr. Lovett was assisted by DR..
w. S. Roberts of Boston and the Misses
Janet B. Merrill. Helen King. Laura Miller
and Rebecca Selfridge, experts in muscle
training, besides the hospital staff. The
clinic was attended by about dozen ply
sicians from towns outside Of Burlington,
and by considerable number Of local
physicians and some trained nurses.
The condition Of the patients varied
from that OF a 15-year-old boy, whose only
evidence of the disease was a thumb which
lay fiat and lifeless against his hand to a
girl whose body had been horribly twisted
into a misshapen mass, by the paralysis.
DR.. Lovett stated that the patients who
had received. muscle treatment from the
experts were progressing favorably and Of
course those who had not were not doing
we'll.
This is the fourth visit Of DR.. Lovett to
Vermont. the first one being in 1914. and an
effort Is made to have all Of his
former patients attend each years clinics.
1t was not hasty but a very thorough
examination which the great surgeon
made Of each case. after it had been ex-
amined by his assistants. A chart record
is kept of each case and DR.. Lovett after
his examination, outlined to the physician
or person in charge Of the child the proper
method of treatment to be followed.
DR.. Lovett's method of holding these
yearly clinics is called the Vermont
plan." because 1t was started by him
when he came to Vermont at the time of
the 1914 poliomyelitis epidemic 1t has
proved successful that other States
have adopted 1t, and DR.. Lovett will travel
this year through New York. Massachu
sets. Virginia and Minnesota, holding
clinics.
The Misses Merrill and King Of DR.. Lvo.
it's assisting staff are now permanently
located In Vermont doing muscle training
work for poliomyelitis victims. The Misses
Miller and Selfrdge have only been here
: temporarily. but it is probable that the
latter will remain permanently.
Dr. Lovett began his tour of Vermont or
saturday, when he held clinic at ST. Al
bans. He was at Barton on Monday, a,
!, Montpelier on Tuesday. and left last nigh
, Tor Rutland, where he will hold his fina
, Vermont clinic. The number of patient.
, examined at each clinic was about so.

president of the Home for Destitute

War conditions have brought about the
opening OF many mines that had been
abandoned. including the copper denosits
In Nershire. Vermont. where several hum
dred hands were employed years ago.
The shafts there have been filed with
water in recent years, but the copper veins
can probably be worked again at a profit
with present market prices. The sulphur
ore mines IN Rowe Mass. just across the
state line from Vermont, are also n no
re-opened and the management is look
Ing for $50 employees. These mines were
operated more than 30 years. with an out.
put exceeding $l,OOOOOO annually. Some
SIX years ago after reaching a depth OF
1000 feet, operations were suspended
recently experts have decided that new
smart at another point will SO reduce the
cost of mining the sulphur ore that IL be.
iieved the mine may be operated on a
paying basis.

Story Of Atlantic leland.

Plato tells the story OF tho great
island of Atlantis and puts its exis-
tence 5000 years before his time. His
location Of 1t Is about half way be.
tween the western projection Of Africa
and the Gulf Of Mexico. Its civiliza-
ton was supposed to be very advanced
and it's powerful armies were said to
have penetrated Africa as far as
Egypt. The whole island, according
to this legend, was engulfed by the sea
In day and night. Another story
says that great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascribed
10 Egyptian priests, and on some old
Italian maps Atlantis is placed to the
westward Of the Azores. Among some
tribes Of South and Central America
there is the legend of a vast cataclysm
which engulfed great extent of'land.
Eminent scientists have found moth
ing impossible in the existence at some
time Of great Atlantic island, bat the
story of Atlantis is generally regarded
rs a myth.

TALKING is HIS JOB.
Every man to his task.

EVERY man 10 MS TASK.
c. G. Mitchell's task in life is to
talk. He is built that way. He talks
not at the air, but to the point. He
has been talking and saying some
thing for 16 years.
DR.. Mitchell was born in Pennsyl-
vania, educated in Michigan and Chi
cago, and married in Indiana. but his
home is on the platform. He has
scored lecture triumphs in nearly 40
states, and is still busy. Railroads
refuse OF carry him by weight, for
they would lose money. He is Ma
poleon in stature, and in his MASTERY
of subject and audience. Like twin
currents humor and pathos run thru
his lectures. He is a master of cpl
erammatic, witty phrases, which are
at once descriptive and filled with a
wealth of common sense. AS stu
dent of men and events he speaks
with authority, and in a language
which all can appreciate.
This man, DR.. Mitchell, will give
the people Of Pine Bluff opportunity
to hear him tonight when he will
deliver a lecture at the Shriners' tenn
