Prevalence Of Infantile Paralysis.


In the first two weeks Of October,
1921, sporadic cases Of acute polio
myelitis (infantile paralysis) occurred
in more than twenty-five states. accord
ing to reports Of the health officers.
The disease seems to be almost en-
demic, taat is, constantly present in
widely scattered places, like smallpox
and diphtheria- We assume 1t is
communicable disease, though the virus
or germ responsible has not been posi-
lively identified, and from clinical OBJ
servation and certain animal expert
ments we feel fairly well convinced that
the virus Is tranmitted in discharges
from the nose and throat and gains
entrance to the body through the lining
of the nose or throat.
In short, we have sufficient reason to
place infantile paralysis in the already
long list Of respiratory infections, and
In my own personal judgment, though
ease, the explanation for the endemic
occurrence Of infantile paralysis
throughout the country in any and all
seasons among every grade and strata
of the population, Is not the fancied
carrier activities Of flies or other in
sects, but directly spray infection from
presons coming down with the disease.
or from those who have recently been
in intimate contact with patients in the
acute stage Of the disease. There Is no
reason to imagine that infantile
paralysis is communicable in any way
after the acute or feverish stage has
passed, and only the weakened muscle
groups show where the lightning has
cruelty struck.
we have bad habit Of exaggerat-
ing things In q weak, emotional way
in this country. Every disease that
occurs in epidemic waves Is referred to
as 'the dread disease" Nothing dread
full about most diseases, though to be
sure q parent feels differently when q
child is stricken. But this accursed
disease. this CRUEL monster which strikes
down q dearly beloved child and leaves
the little victim % pitiably MANNED,
sometimes forever, II indeed q dread
disease and fully warrants the coupling
Of the word inscrutable with the word
providence.
The disease was first recognized In
1870 by Heine, Of Cannstadt, and called
6y him infiantile spinal paralysiA In
1908 monkeys were successfully inoc-
ulated with the disease by Iandsteiner,
and Pepper About 1910 Flexner and
others in this country foFza that the

Making the House Cozy.

The woman who is a good home
maker realizes that the house must
be made snug and cozy for winter,
just as 1t must be cool and unclut-
tered for summer. It is interesting
to see how different women obtain
this result.
One housekeeper I know always
puts old-fashioned hassocks In her
living room during the cold monthsS :
she says that the floors are apt to
be draughty and that her husband
feels warmer, anyway, If he has his
feet up on q hassock while; reading
in the evening.
Another housekeeper friend of
room-reds, rich browns and deep
greens-make one feel warm on a
cold day. Every November she pastes
q red crepe paper lining inside the
china shade Of her living room drop
light. And, there is no doubt about
it, the o1d-rose glow which this
gives to her room seems warm In
Still another woman maintains that
nothing gives q room cozier, snug
ger look than valances at the win

her on that score). Although she has
stains at her windows all the other
months of the year, during November.

two long side pieces) which are dec

the more progress we make and the
more trails we break, the more times
we will slip. Then why not be good

Therein lies the difference between
the rare big man and the common lit-
tie fellow. The big man does ao-

by reminding him of past failure or
future folly. He calmly confesses It

humor. He knows there are banana
peels in his path--he knows, too. that
he will sprawl foolishly over them
and he doesn't care q hoot as long as
he keeps travelling on.
But your little man does no con-
Tossing, not hel Nor can he bear to be
reminded Of his mistakes. He fusses
and flbs and changes the subject he
denies that he ever made himself
ridiculous. He scorns apologies. He
wraps himself in dignity and pride
and budges not an inch for fear OF
that lurking banana peel. Wherefore
he stays q little man to the end Of

no truly gr(st man cares whether he

fair and cover ground. What do

And an old-time high-backed settle
angles with the fireplace.
This is what one little bride did to
obtain this settle effect: She went
to q large department store and
bought an unpainted pine Colonial
table when four pegs secure the nat
tabletop to the lower part ana which
forms a high-backed settle when the
fiat tabletop part is released at one
side and swung upward ESQ that it
is held by only two pegs). Her hus-
band painted this with a brown stain
and they used it at the fireplace with
a large piece of dark-green velour
draped over the back and seat, and a
green cushion at one end. It was
an artistic triumph at little cost.

New Combinations Of Fabrics.
by ANNE RITTENH0UsE.

When Jenny Of Paris exhibited her
new collection Of frocks for our Palm
Beach wear, as we'll as for Nice and
Monte Carlo. the observers were espe-
cially interested in the vast variety
of frocks with q thick blouse and
thin skirt. or the other way around.
Evidently, this Is the new thing to DO
offered us for the spring.
The sketch shows one Of these
gowns. 1t is for evening gayety, but
it is a fair representative Of what IL
to be expected in gowns for other
hours.
The skirt is Of georgette crepe en-
broidered in red and steel beads-one
does not expect to see any gown with
out the stamp Of the steel trust on
well down on the hips, is of velvet in
black There is a looped cape of this
velvet at the back. which continues
into a train.
The skirt is not as long as women
are wearing now, but it is an example
Of some individual taste rather than
an expression Of fashion. There is
no doubt that the long skirt has found
favor in the eyes of our women when
they are formally frocked.
The combination of thin and thick
fabric is pleasing to Americans, no
matter at what season of the year 1t
is introduced. The reason lies in the
climate and the necessity for us to
wear top wraps SO many months or
the year. We like cool fabrics over
the shoulders, but this new fashion
does not always cater to our desires.
for it introduces thinness over the
knees as often as over the chest.
There is tendency shown in some
Of these new frocks to go backward
instead Of forward in fashion, for the
gown known as "the suburbanite's de-
light is reinstated. It has a deep
made Of georgette crepe or opaque
crepe, with q skirt of kasha, OF velvet,
of duvetine, attached to it in an irreg-
ular manner.
Irregularity Is the word to use in
women's clothes this season, and it
straight line once was, there is now
a crooked line. This governs the en-
tire output of garments. The dress
makers avoid regularity. 1t might be
said that if heather. mimosa, nastur-
tium. periwinkle are the flowers that
determine the leading 'colors OF the
season, the chrysanthemum and the
ragged robbin give the silhouette.
Ragged is an adjective commonly ap-
piled to the finish of the best of
clothes.
The demand for this raggedness is
the reason why fringe continues to
be admired by some. worn by them.
and tolerated by the public; it is the
reason for the abundance of ribbon
loops and ends that trim the edges
of our clothes. The dressmakers are
fashioning midseason gowns with
fringe Of soutache braid to look like
monkey fur, and three-inch ends of
grosgrain ribbon. an inch wide, to
