Once. when the Old Fox was off
his stride, the was ordered out of
the match by Morgan. Griff had
turned in a score in the sos.
"All right, Ray" grouched the
big league boss, III get you to-
morrow"
Griff is a tough loser but admit
tsdly he didn't mean that. He has
ever had a soft spot in his heart
for Morgan.
One of the most unusual scores
rolled this season was that of Pat
O'Neill, a patent attorney who eXer-
Cises regularly at the Recreation.
O'Neill shot a score Of l67 in an in
dependent game. There was nothing
remarkable about the score in itself
but il was distinctly unusual that
O'NeilI left nary pin standing. He
started with two tens and marked
the rest Of the way.
Some years ago chap named
O'Neill rolled a perfect flat game, a
performance that was comparable
with a 200-string achieved with
spares and strikes.

I the Methodist Episcopal Church

EPIDEMIC PERIL
IS AVERTED

While poliomyIitis, or infantile
paralysis, cases are increasing
throughout the country, there is
little danger of general epidemic,
officials Of the United States Public
Health Service declared today.
Reports from 80 States for the
week ending September 10. showed
that $50 new cares had been dis
covered. as compared with 94S
cases In 42 States for the week
ending August 10. While this
mysterious disease Is undoubtedly
more prevalent this year than last,
public health officials pointed out
that there Is no approach to the
mortality record of 1915, when in
fantile paralysis prevailed in many
parts of the country and took a
heavy toll of lives.
The latest records show that
Massachusetts, has the largest mum.
Der of new cases, numbering 50.
Ohio is close behind with IS cases,
while California registered 40 cases.
Few diseases present more COM
pick problem than does acute an
terror poliomyelitis. Public Health
officials said. Many facts. such as
the seasonal incidence and rural
prevalence of the disease, have
seemed to indicate that some insect
or animal host, as yet unrecognized
may he necessary factor in the
spread of poliomyelitis. but specific
evidence to this effect is lacking,
lit was pointed out.
The weight Of present opinion In
ciines to the view that infantile
paralysis Is exclusively a human
disease and is spread by personal
contact, whatever other causes may
be found to contribute to its spread.
Officials admitted that there is no
specific treatment Of established
value in infantile paralysis. They
pointed out, however, that during
the persistence Of the acute symp.
toms the important principles Of
treatment are rest In bed. symDto.

Maj. Raymond Wiimarth, business

But we've heard Curtis denounced

one Official report.

our attention. There was q knock
in the engine, so TO speak, and we
wanted 10 know what caused it. So
we began to jot down the charges
that these officials made against
Curtis as their reasons for de.
nouncing him We made a list of
the charges. Then we spent a week
checking up on them.
It was charged against Curtis
that he would try TO obtain re-
lease for any patient no matter
community the man might be. just
so he had the price.
We searched the habeas corpus
docket and found that Curtis filed
the petitions in SO of the IS cases;
II Of his clients were released as
illegally held; 10 were released as
OF sound mind, five were released
by consent of the hospital; four
were held as Of unsound mind; seven
petitions were withdrawn; four cases

time; zone case resulted in a hung
jury.
These SO trials represented 4S

cases and the hung jury case, have
not reached a verdict.
Curtis Record
So that his record up to Novem.
Der Is 1.-THE day we finished our
search of the docket consists Of
the completed trials of 43 patients,
Of whom four were held by the
jury as insane. and seven withdrew
their petitions, thus confessing in
sanity OF the 40 patients. then, III
or a shade over % per cent, may be
considered OF unsound mind.
Curtis guessed wrong once in four
times, which Is practically the same
record that the hospital doctors made
with their 81 patients. In the II
cases declared by the jury to be Of
sound mind, the doctors swore that,
in their opinion, the patients were
crazy
That is. the doctors guessed wrong
In II cases out of (Which was a
81 per cent error. The cold. hard
figures showed US that Curtis ex-
ercised just about the same dis
elimination that the doctors did. We
couldn't see any reason for hating
Curtis on that charge, especially as
none of the dangerous lunatics he
was said to be turning out under the
eyes OF the court, have yet been
heard from.
Another charge we heard against
Curtis was that he goes out 10 st.

the patients. We don't know whether
he does or not-we've never seen
any evidence of it-but IL he does

trip he hooks up with some Of the
sane patients that Comptroller Gen.
eral McCarPs report says are still
there.
1t makes our blood run cold to
think OF those unfortunates locked
up with madmen. If the Veterans
Bureau can't get those sane men
out, and II the churches. clubs, and
fraternal organizations can't get
them out, we think it's a blessing
that some one can.
Hospitals Playful Methods
We are told by many eliminates
that the hospital makes it difficult
for men to get release. They tell
us that when man files a petition
for a habeas corpus hearing. his
ground parole is automatically re.
voked.
One ex.patient. c. C. oringer, says
that his parole was revoked and he
was confined to his ward for 26
days after he opened up negotia-
tions for court hearing.
Probably no one but a lawyer
can get in touch with those men,
but If Curtis went out there for that
purpose, he was thereby violating
principle of legal ethics. Person.
ally. we think it's much better for
legal ethics to be violated. than for
human rights to be violated. II
those sane men must be kept
locked up in the madhouse, or legal
ethics be violated, veil be glad to
go out there and help violate a few.
How anyone can hold legal ethics
above flesh and blood, is more than
this pilgrim can understand. But
II Curtis has been known to go out
there and solicit cases, why hasn't
he been brought TO book about it
before some tribunal that holds
legal ethics more sacred than hu.
man rights
Under the circumstances we
couldn't see anything in the solicit.
ing charge for red. blooded Americans
to get mad -oout, and the enmity
against Curtis was still, unexplained.
The third charge against Curtis
was that he was getting those men
out of the asylum for money. We
