Storm In Skowheaan

Skowhegan was snowbound Friday.
Neither the Athens nor the Canaan
stages made their trips to Skowhe-
gan and return. Two of the r. F. D.
men who live few miles out of town
were unable to report at the Post
Office. and all of those who did and
started on their trips soon found that
they would be unable to complete
them and returned to the Office. Sew
eral OF the milk teams were obliged
to be shoveled out and some even
hauled out by two horse teams. The
night train was an hour and a half
late. The Kennebec Journals did not
arrive until the noon train and the
Boston papers were delayed until the

ency to eXacerbation every second
or. more noticeably every seventh
year. II this frequency is repeated,
we may soon expect another serious
outbreak in the United States, pos
sibly during 1923, and if such should
come to pass, it seems very probable
that a worldwide epidemic wave of
poliomyeltis is under way similar to
the present tropicodemic of plague
which began at about the same
time"
Practically all epidemics of the
disease, said DR.. Brues, occur dur
ing the summer. rising from min
imum in the early Spring to a max
imum during late summer and the
seasonal incidence comedies closely
with that of the known insect born
diseases, which become prevalent
during the summer, when insect life
flourishes.
Transmission of disease not only
to other people, but also to animals
and fish, with a potentional influ-
ence on the food industries, has to
be considered by the United States
public health service in its attitude
toward immigrants, Professor G. w.
Stiles, of that service revealed in an
address today. He explained the
reasons for the policy of deporting
Asiatic immigrants suffering from
Asiatic liver-fuke disease.
This type of disease. he said, had
been known since 1879, but the cure
of only one case appeared to be re-
corded. The disease. he continued.
in it's natural course in Asia passed
successfully from man to a snail,
then to a fish. Snails and fish OF
closely related varieties existed in
this country and it was probable that
if introduced here, the disease would
be transmitted to them.
DIR. ]. E. w. WalIin, director Of the
Bureau OF Special Education, and
professor of clinical psychology, said
that a twelve-year study of $500
juveniles of all grades of intelligence
and the observance of thousands Of
parents Of mentally defective child
rem had led to the conclusion that
most cases Of feeblemindedness, con-
trary to the generally accepted view,
could not be traced to feeble mind
edncss, insanity or epilepsy in the
ancestry.
AS helpful measures he said in~
jures, diseases and anything harmful
to the child's nervous system must
be prevented before and after birth
and the mental and physica powers
must be exercised and developed
scientifically.
Geographic distribution and direct
archaeological evidence suggested,
said Professor Roland B. Dixon. of
Harvard University, that instead Of
the American Indian being a single
racial type, there were four main

Would Meet Under
Sanction of All
Governments Involved

Washington, Dec. 29.-Appoint-
ment of American financiers to sit
upon a commission such as suggest
ed tonight by Secretary Hughes in
his address at New Haven. would be
on nomination of the government, If
the proposal for this method Of ad-
justing the Preparations dispute was
accepted abroad. This was the view
expressed authoritatively in White
House circles in connection with Mr..
Hughes remarks.
1t was pointed cut that any body Of
an advisory character to deal with the
question of the amount Of reparations
Germany could and should pay must
meet under the sanction CT all govern
ments involved if its work was to bear
fruit. While no light was thrown upon
preliminary conversations that may
have been held between the Washing
ton and the Allied governments rela-
tive to the plan Of operation Mr..
Hughes has disclosed, the impression
given in White House circles was that
such conversations had taken place and
that there was reason to believe the
Allied premiers would not be found
opposed to the suggestion IT, as Mr..
Hughes pointed out, they failed to
reach rcparations agreement among
themselves.
1t was noted by the White House
was put forward as an alternative to
spokesman that Mr.. Hughes sugges-
tion was put forward as an alternative
to drastic action to enforce repara-
tions payment. If failure of the pre-
miers to agree should bring the Allies
face to face with that problem. II a
commission Of f1nanciers appointed by
the countries involved but freed Of po-
litical or other obligations in their dis
cussion, was to have much weight. 1t
was said, there must Of necessity be
previous agreement among the powers
as to the agenda Of the discussions and
preliminary understanding which
would insure sympathetic considera-
ton, at least. Of the commissions find
ing. tt.'
There is no question that the United
States expects to be invited to NOM
mate members to sit on the hnanciers'
commission should that be the course
adopted by the Allied governments to-
ward settlement. The American men,
bers and those of other countries, It
was indicated, would, of necessity, rep
resent their governments in whatever
steps might be necessary to make sure
that purely non-political consideration
was given by them to the problem ana ,
that 1t was viewed strictly from the
economic standpoint.
