WARNING ISSUED
 AGAINST INFANTILE
 PARAL LYSIS SPREAD

Bridgeporters are warned to be on the lookout for the dread disease. in- fantile paralysis, which has made it's appearance in Rhode Island. Dr. William H. Coon said today that all though there are no cases of the sick the cratic manner in which it makes it's appearance would make it appear well for the people within a radius of two or three hundred miles to be on the lookout for the symptoms of the disease.
 Parevious outbreaks of epidemics of infantile paralysis have manifested taking a large toll in others. Just why the disease spreads in such an cratic manner is not known, Dr. Coon declared
 The disease is spread by carriers and by mild cases. It som chimes ap- pears in mild, unnoticed form as do diphtheria and smallpox. Those peo- pie who are not immune may readily contract the disease which may then appear in fatal form
 The state review for the year 1921 1922 shows that there were more cases of the disease among children be- tween the ages of one and two years than at any other recorded period. A total of 86 cases of the disease among children of these ages were re- ported during the year.
 Dr. Coon stated that although the far greater majority of cases are are by no means immune. we care for the disease, from a public health standpoint, by immediate isolation ot | eases. Even then we still have the Carrier problem to deal with" he explained.

vorably. No one will dare to suggest that American women will revert to the eighteenth century idea of the en- tire wig.
 A local hairdresser said today that there is more bobbing done now than ever before during the demand for short hair. Bobbed hair is here to stay. she stated, and with short hadr it is impossible to wear long dresses and look smart.
 The 1appers say that they can't be bothered wearing long dresses, and be careful that they don't trail in the dirt. With short dresses. they say they are comfortable. If they cover their limbs. they will have to uncover something else, that's all there is to it.
 All in all, it looks like a war to the finish The men are with the fappers, and the married men say | they can't afford any other change in style. The tall rather mature wo- | man may don the flowing gowns and do her hair up. but the younger wo- men and the fappers show no sign of pulling down their flag and merg- ing their present aggressive identities | 1n the soft numbus of Grecian effects. l Time will tell.

TO BOB OR NOT TO BOB; THAT
 IS THE MUCH -M00TED QUESTION

"Edict or no edict, Greece or no Greece. we don't think the women will give up their short dresses and put up their hair" This is the state ment of Iocal hairdressers. 'NTry and get us." is the attitude of the fapper. 'It's absurd" is the way the mar ried women put it, and Heaven help us. What next?" Is the sentiment of the men All in regard to the recent declaration from St. Louis that the National Hairdressers' association, in convention there, that the f1apper is passe and is rapidly being replaced by the Grecfan damseI of long, swathed lines and trailing draperies.

 Why not? Look at the revenue re- ceived from bobbing. keeping the hair within it's proper limits, permanent waves, curls, and sundry other things.
 Another question is, how on earth can anyone get long hair over night |? The idea of a wig is not met with fla

Cumberland Squad
Will Present Full
Strength in Meet
Team of Veterans Said to Be
Improved Over Early
Season Form.

Although the Cumberland High School
basketball team has not made q very
impressive record so far this season, yet
1t hopes to make a good showing in the
Marion County tournament here Friday
and Saturday. Cumberland got away to
rather poor start this year, owing to
the fact that the new gym was not COM
pleted until about the first of the year.
Since that time the five has met many of
the strongest teams in the county, and
has either turned in victories or held its
opponents to very low scores.
Cumberland has met the strong Broad
Ripple quintette twice, losing both times
by five points. Valley Mills was forced to
go overtime for a victory and Southport,
picked by many TO win the coming tour
ney, was forced to the limit, winning ly
the scant margin of one point. Cumber-
land recently defeated the strong West
Newton five by score of 10 to IL. This
members of the squad have been in the
proper physical condition. From present
indications, however, the team will enter
the tourney in q better condition than
ever before IN the present season.
Cumberland is represented this year by
( the following players: Captain, K. Amos,
guard; n. Amos, guard; Cass, guard; Hill
kene. center; Darner, center; Morgan,
forward; jolly, forward; Brier, forward.
Six of this number were members OF
last years squad, three of them being
regulars. They fought their way to the
finals in last years tourney, only to be
defeated by the fast going Valley Mills
FIVE. Should these two teams win their
first two games in the tourney this week
they Will meet in the semifnals.

Brennan or MADDEN
Against Dempsey, Is
RzIn1Ored in Gotham

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Possibility Of
a Jack Dempsey-Bill Brennan match in
BoyIes well known patch over In Jersey
City doomed up today with the expected
arrival of Jack Kearns here fcr. the pur-
pose of taking up the possibilities OF the
match with Tex Richard.
Richard, however, had troubles Of his
own today at the West Side court and ana
manager until tomorrow. Chances of a
Dempsey CARPENTER fight to be held In
London or Paris are not regarded as
good. Carpenters victory over Cook
brought the usual crop of rumors to the
surface bearing on possibility. Of an
other Dempsey Carpenter match, but
Richard is convinced that neither the
public nor the Frenchman need another
demonstration of the relative merits Of
the battlers.
BARLEY Madden is mentioned as pos
sibility instead of Brennan. Kearns is
known to prefer closing for an early
match and Richard may decide to close
fhe Madison Square Garden season with
either Madden or Brennan against the
champion instead of waiting until the
Jersey open air arena can be used.
