Byrd's Flight.

Comdr. Richard E. Byrd is perhaps
to hop off today from one of the New
York flying fields for Europe. Though
it is understood that Paris is his OBJ
jective, report is in circulation that
he may carry on beyond that point
may, indeed, essay the longest contin-
uous fight ever made by plane. He
will have three companions, accord
Ing to present plans. Should he make
Paris he will have scored a record,
for heretofore no plane has carried
that number Of persons overseas.
Hopes prevail that Byrd will make
the flight successfully, as have Linds
bergh and Chamberlin, that he will
cross the Atlantic in safety and land
at a distance from the coast without
mishap. He is an intrepid flyer, hav-
ing already made a world record by
his air journey over the North Pole,
an achievement Of daring and skill.
He has made the most careful prepare
tions for this present venture. He has
trustworthy machine and he has
skilled associates. He has waited for
favorable weather conditions.
Transatlantic flying is no longer an
experiment in the sense that it has
been accomplished on three occasions,
first by Alcock and Brown on a short
route, then by Lindbergh and next by
Chamberlin. Byrd's fight will be the
fourth, and although nothing can de-
tract from Lindbergh's magnificent
feat in going alone, in view of the
number of persons carried in the plane
1t will be the most significant Of all.
There is no particular utility in fly
Ing across the sea in demonstration
save as experience gained thereby
points to development. The ultimate
goal is passenger flying, in regular
service. To accomplish that, large and
powerful planes must be used, and
they must be capable Of fight In al
most any condition. There can be, of
course, no schedules Of transatlantic
service if flights must wait upon the
weather. To be sure, there are times
when not even the stoutest plane
would venture into the air for. an
ocean trip. Just so there are times
when ships are warned to keep to
port because of the prevalence of vio-
lent storms at sea. The day may be
far off when regular service can be
established and maintained, but there
is no doubt that it has been advanced
by these recent performances. even as
1t will be more definitely advanced by
.Byrds four-passenger fli66t If he
makes 1t in safety.
.Comdr. Byrd is one OF the most
skilled airmen in this country. With
one notable achievement on his rec
ord, he is not now seeking transatlantic
honors for the sake OF the glory, but
as a conscientious pioneer in aviation
he is endeavoring to advance the art
and to widen the scope Of airplane
activity. When he takes of, whether
it be today or later, he will carry
with him the hopes and prayers Of
the people of America.

OF foodstuffs exports, making a total
of six in that line. One will devote at

other to shoes and leather.
II the work in behalf OF American
exporters Is successful II Is reasonable
to assume that the results will be in
creased employment for American
labor, larger consumption Of American
raw materials and q tendency for
lower average prices to American con-
sumers because Of the economies ef-

turing plants. The necessity OF de-

1t is only in comparatively recent

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
REPORTS INFANTILE
PARALYSIS CASES

1t looks as if this is going to be an
infantile paralysis year. Many of
the states are reporting an increased
number of cases. This is particularly
so in California and New Mexico
where serious epidemics are prevail
ing. In Montana we have had two
cases reported this season-both from
Cascade county. Physicians are re-
qUested to be on their guard and re-
port any suspicious cases promptly
to the local health officers.
In 1924 there was a very serious
epidemic of this disease in Mis-
soula. In this epidemic, few weeks
previous to the occurrence of the
cases which could be definitely
diagnosed as infantile paralysis, there
was much sickness among children in
that locality, the symptoms of which
resembled la grippe in it's various
forms. In studying these cases after
the occurrence of the paralyzed cases,
we were forced to conclude that many
of the cases which could not be defin-
itely diagnosed as infantile paralysis
were really an abortive type of this
disease. 1t is now generally recog-
nized that in every epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis, there are many cases
of the abortive type. These not be-
ing paralyzed can, of course, not be
definitely diagnosed and they, no
doubt, cause a spread of the disease,
not being quarantined.
1t is a difficult disease to handle
at best and parents are urged to be
on their guard and isolate as far as
possible children who present symp-
toms of grippe, particularly at this
time when infantile paralysis is pre-
valent throughout the country. Heal
thy children should not be allowed to
associate with sick ones.

HOUSEWIFE SELLS
SIX CHEVROLET
AUTOS MONTHLY

Selling automobiles, generally re-
garded as a business restricted ex-
clusively to men, is the latest field to
be invaded successfully by a woman,
who has even shown her ability to
out-shine her masculine competitors.
Mrs. Pearl Bollig of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, the first saleswoman
in the United States to achieve the
honor of membership in the Chevro-
let Motor company's 72-Car club, a
star salesman's organization, has just
been awarded her second years mem
bership, marking her as one of the
foremost sales experts among the
company's $4,000 statesmen. This
record means that since August l.,
1926, Mrs. Bollig sold 72 Chevrolet
cars, an average of six cars monthly,
and has duplicated her sales perfor-
nance of the year previous, which
gave her much-coveted place in the
honor organization of the company.
Occupied with the manifold cares

boys to look after, Mrs. Bollig's

Reply
| do not consider your case like that
of Mrs. H. B. Her trouble is largely
obesity.
My opinion based on your very
graphic description of your condition,
is that you have organic heart dis
ease. What valve is affected and how,
| am of course unable to say. Only a
direct examination can determine that.
My advice is that you go to bed at
once and call in a physician to make
an examination and prescribe appro-
pirate treatment. You cannot keep up
the strain much longer, and even as
it is your doctor has no easy job on
his hands to bring you back. You
