PARALYSIS CLAIMS
 INCREASING TOLL
Parents Urged to Safeguard
 Their Children

Washington, Sept II GP)-In- fantile paralysis is spreading in some parts of the United States. Reports to the [. s. public health service today showed consid era hle increase in the disease in Ohio, Massachusetts. California and New Jersey More than 45u new cases were reported through the country for the week Of Sept. 5. Government physicians have been sent 10 states where the outbreak is most pronounced 10 aid local au- thorities. The disease is known scientifically as "poliomyclitis."
 Ohio authorities reported that in several localities opening of schools has been postponed because of the disease.
 West Virginia applied for q quar- antine regulation prohibiting Ohio children to enter their state but fed oral physicians advised them such a move would be of no real value, so the application was withdrawn. State authorities are handling the outbreak, and the federal govern mont is aiding 10 prevent another wave Of the disease similar to that which swept the country in 1916. Dr. C. C. Pierce. assistant [. g surgeon general. told the United Press today that children in the af- fcctod areas should avoid going 10 the movies. fairs and picnics The disease is most prevalent in the late summer and fall, hn said. II is communicable and tn" germ can be carried by a healthy person as well as diseased one. The germ usua fly enters the body through th" nose.
 The germs of infantilo paralysis act as T Gircct poison 10 the tissues of Inc brain and Of the pinal cord, :" Dr. Pierce said. "Thcy kill many of the large nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and when these nerve cells die, their function of fur nishing energy 10 move certain parts Of tho body stops.
 'Thc body does not seem 10 have th" power 10 create new cells Of this kind. once they are destroyed Tf there are q sufficient number of thes" cells they may gradually over come the paralysis. Sometimes they are not much injured" "
 Dr. Pierce said the disease usually develops five to ten days after con- traction. Usually there are no symptoms during the five or 10 days though 'h"re may be slight indis- position and sometimes q little sore throat
 "Ac'ual onslaueht of the disease is suddon,' he said. "There is fever; there may he vomiting and there may be couNulsions. Paralysis, If present, occurs very early in th" course Of the disease and is the greatest at that time.'
 Dr. Pierce said there is "crumb Of comfort" in knowing that the in- itial paralysis is the maximum.
 "Tr"atm"nt Of infantile paralysis though still unsatisfactory, Is i'm portant and should bo rendered by q skilled physician,' Dr. Pierce con- tinucd. ''There is no medicine that will cure the disease though some medicines may be useful in acute stages"

 PhenolnenaiIy Low

Wellesley Hills, Maaso Sept. II , tIP)-The past year has been the most hoalthful that the United States has ever enjoyed. Professor i Ellsworth Huntington Of Yale uni
 yersi'y told the 1ith annual national | bIsiness conference here today, i He expressed the belief that the 1 weather, rather than medical science, was responsible for the cx- , ,traordinary record of health. During the past year." he said,
 the weather seems to have been the main reason why the amount Of sickness and the death rate have
 fallen 10 so phcnomonally low a i level.
 "Other things being equal, warm | winter such as V, had throughout i most Of tho United states last year. { is systematically more hcalthful : than q cold winter Cool and stormy summers. such as We have just ey- prrieuc"d, are likewise much more 1 likely 10 be healthful than are those that are warm and free from storms. 50 without detracting from the credit Of the keepers of the public health, there is ample ground for believing that the weather has been a strong factor in giving us the most healfhful year in the whole history Of the United States"
 Professor Huntington believed that the weather, through ifs of- feet on general health also affected business indirectly, An unusually hoalthful year. he asserted. was nl- most certain 10 be an unusually suc- cessful business year.

Charges by Philbin.

Philbin said that Gen. Dalton's re-
organization Of the ship sales division
compelled him to believe that its pur-
pose was Ito stultify and discourage
the sale of ships, with a view of sub
stituting a permanent Government
operation policy, such as in my judg-
ment is not warranted by existing
law"
In concluding the retiring vice
president said that in the face of
events which had transpired he was
unable to escape the belief that the
pendency of the Fleet Corporation af-
fairs is not mere accident or chance,
but rather is due to more deep
seated design, fostered by those who
would aspire to obtain--and I do not
hesitate to state, do sometimes OBJ
tain-special consideration. and who
would seek to control and dominate
the merchant marine destinies of this
country"
