CARRIERS OF DREAD DISEASE
r BE tho Bearers Of Deadly Diph-
iberia Germs.

There Is probably no more difficult
or more unsatisfactory problem In
contagious diseases than that Of the
diphtheria carrier. Though the death
rate for diphtheria has been greatly re-
duced since the discovery Of antitoxin,
the morbidity rate has remained vir-
tually the same, says the Journal Of
the American Medical Association.
Gelien, Moss and Guthrie found that
approximately Is per cent Of 800
healthy children in Baltimore were
carriers of diphtheria bacilli at one
time or another, and about IL per cent
Of these were carriers Of virulent or
ganisms. They also found higher
percentage Of positive cultures in chill
dren with pathologic threats than In
those with normal threats. OF 80
children who yielded positive cultures
at the first examination, 20 had posi-
tive cultures two weeks later. After
four, six, eight, ten and twelve weeks,
the number Of positive cultures was
fifteen, eleven, twelve and six, respec-
lively.

Ribbon Fish's Oddities.

1.-The ribbon fishes" said John T.
Nichols. head Of the department Of re-
cent fishes at the Museum of Natural
History. according to the New York
Times. "are perhaps the least known
Of the larger marine species. They
are elongate, f1attened from side to
side with a manelike fin on the back.
Specimens are Is to 20 feet long, be-
ing from 10 to II inches deep. and
about an inch or two broad at their
thickest part. They have big eyes
and small mouths"
Very few specimens ever come to
light and these are usually washed up
on some shore or are found floating
at the surface In a dead or dying con-
dition. The larger ones are known to
grow to be 20 feet or so in length and
very likely attain q considerably
greater size. but this is matter Of
pure conjecture Young individuals
of some Of the species but few
inches long are not rarely met with
near the surface.

Baseball Practice Starts.

Tuesday night saw the first prac-
tice of sBarton's baseball team fol
1921, and there will be systematic
practice practically every night. The
lineup indica ties strong team in ev-
cry respect. w. P. Barrows will have
direct management of the team and
his probable lineup will be as fol
lows: Snyder back of the bat, Daley
in the pitchers box, Barrows at first
B. Lee at second, T. Lee at, third
Heath at short, Dubois center field,
Carter left field, and right field is not
yet settled upon. 1t will be seen that
this is practically solid Barton team,
but one which will make the teams of
this section step lively if they carry
off the honors.
The schedule of games as printed
last week gives about two games a
week, Tuesday and Saturday, one of
which will be home game. The first
game the team will play will be
at Lyndonville, Tuesday, June z, and
the first home game will be on the
fair grounds Saturday June II with
