Lansing, Jan. 30 despite the fact
that many states suffered epidemics of
infantile paralysis during 1920, Mich
igan was practically free from the dis
ease, only SO cases being reported to the
state department of health.
In 1919, with less efficient reporting Of
diseases, 1855 cases of infantile paralysis
were recorded. Studies of the distribu-
tion of the cases in 1920 show that the
disease occurred IN sporadic form
throughout the southern portion of the
lower peninsula, the upper peninsuls
and the northern part o I the lower
peninsula reporting few in any cases.
More cases occurred in rural than urban
communities.
Michigsn's record of III cases of men.
ingitis is also said to be remarkably low
As with infantile paralysis, all the cases
were sporadic, no local outbreaks or
epidemics having developed. Though
neither disease at h 9 present time
threatens to become general, officials Of
department assert that not enough is
known of the characteristics of either to
predict their trend. Control of menin-
gifts has been effected, to some extent.

Estate.


Judge Collins has handed his opinion
in the case started by Mrs. Eva Lave
rock. widow of the late James II.
Lsverock, to secure an Interpretation of
Mr.. Laverocks will.

for her needs during her life time. He
also holds that at her death, the remain
der of the estate must be divided as
directed by Mr.. Lsverock in his will.
