TRAFFIC TALKS ~
Closed Cars and Safety

SSSN val anu SdIOky
There was time when motor cars
were sold without tops. Today the
tendency is toward the use of closed
cars. In 1915 but 1.5 per cent of the
passengers cars manufactured were
closed jobs. Last year that percent
age had increased "a per cent. In five
years 1t will be 70 per cent.
With the increased use of closed
cars there is an additional reason why
drivers should exercise unusual pre-
caution. One can see more from an
open car than from closed car.
Some states require that cars
equipped with mirrors. Most closed
cars have such mirrors which play
their part in cutting down the number
of accidents.
Always be careful.

mediate vaccination in case of an |
epidemic of smallpox, or the an
nual revaccination of those who have
not furnished certificates of proper
vaccination. The operation of so |
much of this section as concerns

rrevent Diphtheria By Simple
Method

Richmond. Va, September 30
The diphtheria situation in Vir
ginia is nor, according to til,
State Board of Health, at al
alarming. There is just aboui
the seasonal expectation of cases,
possibly a few, under the or.
dinarY. The better showing has
been made possible by several
county wide clinics for the adj
ministraticn of diphtheria toxin-
antitoxin.
This preparation works slowly.
Immunity is rarely obtained
within two months after admin
istration, and it frequently re-
quires as long as six months TO
secure absolute immunity but
1t is worth waiting for. as the
State health authorities shows
for once the immunity is obtain-
ed IT lasts through many years.
Speaking on this subject, the
State Health Commissioner has
invited attention TO a curious
misconceptinn. It not infre-
quently happens That a child
who has received the toxin-anti-
toxin treatment subsequently, de.
-yelops diphflIeris. This. ofI
course, cannot happen if sufficient
time should have elapsed be-
tween the administration of thei
toxin-antitoxin and the exposure
to the disesse. But some doc
tors. unaware offhe peculiarities
of the preventive and the re-
medal agencies, have been un-
willing 70 give antitoxin to those
wlie had previously received the |
toxiu-snfitoxiu. 4
So far IS known. there Is no
reason for refusing to give the
antitoxin to ! diphtlneria patient
even II toxju-antitoxin had been
administered, There u no con-
dict between tllese substa ncesy

Fire Prevention Week

The waste of property by purn-

1928 reached total higher than
any recorded since 1906 when the
San Francisco conflagration oc-
CURED. the aggregate values de-
stroyed approximating $4,000. :
900. and, in addition. there was
serious loss of life by fire.
Our own state bore its pro-
portionate share of this huge
toll. Notwithstanding the pre-.
Variability of most fires.
s. Since the ma or portion of the
loss of human and material
wealth could have been avoided
by reasonable precautions and a
proper mental attitude of careful
ness, it is evident that we can
by concerted action, prevent tin,
continuance of this large ant
unnecessary burden.
Therefore, l. E. Lee Tr;nkle
