Reporters Story Reaches Sufferers.
In 1924 Mr.. Roosevelt visited Warm
Springs. Ca, because he had heard the
story of a young man who had gone
there for three successive years ana by
merely bathing in the waters had been
enabled to walk. While he was there
A newspaper reporter who accompanied
him wrote a story, Swimming Back to
Health" which gave publicity to the
benefits which Mr. Roosevelt had re-
ceived.
When Mr.. Roosevelt returned the fol-
loving year ne found small group VINO
had been attracted to the resort by the
reporter's story. There we're no &C

abandoned.
Mr.. Roosevelt bought the resort OF
200 acres. an inn and group OF COT
taaes. He made the little group OF
hopefuls his guests, retained local
physician and a few trained physio-
therapists and laid the foundation for
a philanthropy that promises to be
epochal.

If the hopes of Gov. Roosevelt are
realized, there will be within the next
few sears several philanthropic organ
izations throughout the United States
devoted to the after-care of the more
than 10000 victims Of infantile paraly-
sis and their restoration to at least
comparatively normal health.
It has been proved that systematic
and thoroughly modern after-care Of
poliomyelitis cases (infantile paralysis)
results in material BENEFITS. Many in
stances of physical rehabilitation of
those handicapped by infantile paralysis
are substantiated by recognized author
tiles.
Called manitarian Need.
CIV. Roosevelt believes that the work
of the Georgia Warm Springs Founda-
ton. at Warm Springs, Ga, can be
duplicated in several places in this
country which are peculiarly adapted
to the work by natural hot springs
He believes that group of similar
non prof1t-taking organizations, or a
number of such movements operated
individually, could effect results of great
humanitarian and economic value.
His greatest interest in private life
is centered upon the problem of help
ing those who, like himself, have been
forced by poliomyelitis to face new con-
ditions.
In Central Georgia, 80 miles from
Atlanta and at the southern end Of
the Bulge Ridge range of the Appa-
lachian Mountains. there is a happy
colony OF cheerful men, women, youths
and children, all of whom are hsndi-
capped by infantile paralysis.
Unique Colony.
The colony is unique not only be-
cause of its cheer and optimistic phi
| losophy but because 1t is the only COL
ony of its kind in this country. Many
| have gone there resigned to a life In a
wheel chair or in bed and have walked
away on crutches. Some have been
able to return to their old mode of life
with the aid of only one crutch and a
cane. A few have graduated to short
| brace and a single cane. All have been
benefited materially by simple but
scientific and systematic after-care
| treatments in the medium of the warm
waters of mineral springs.
Neither TIE treatment nor the water
is miraculous. They have no cure-all
properties, nor are any claimed for
them. They are merely the best treat
ments in the best medium that years
of study and research have developed.
They can be and are adapted in a
modified way in hospitals and by ortho-
pedic specialists at various places.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A gen.
eral review of the whole influenza
situation will be made at the con-
ference to which DR.. Hugh S. Cum
ming, surgeon-general of the United
States public health service, has in
vited leading scientists, physicians
and health officers of all the states
and of the principal cities of the
country.
The conference will be held at the
surgeon-generarS Office here on
Jan. 10.
The public health service has a
plan for research which will be dis
cussed with these leaders in the
field of epidemiology. Measures of
controlling influenza, SO as to pre-
vent further epidemics, if possible,
may be decided upon, and addi-
tional lines for research may be
opened up.
Public health officials hope that
some way of controlling the disease
will be found when men who study
it in the laboratory, men who treat
it at the bedside and men who
watch its progress from nationwide
reports get together and pool their
knowledge and ideas.
At present the epidemic seems to
be waning in the west, but it is
by no means checked as yet, health
officials stated. Thirty states and
New York city reported together
about 100000 cases, indicating
total of approximately 100000 cases
for these states. Many eastern
states, including such populous
ones as New York and Pennsyl-
vania, do not report influenza.

TARIFF TINKERS
TO START Toll
NEXT MONDAY
Revised Law in Operation
by July, Is Hope Voiced
by Chairman.

BB Times Special
WASHINGTON. Jan. A re-
qised tariff law viii be operative by
July, provided Herbert Hoover calls
a special session Of congress in the
spring.
Representative Willis G. Hawley
of Oregon, chairman Of the house
ways and means committee, made
this prediction today, in comment
ing on the hearings on tariff re-
vision opening next Monday.
'This win not be an entire new
tariff, but rather tariff revision"
he said. "The committee will have
the bill completed by April 20, and
if congress is in session I expect its
passage before July d."
Need for a complete new tariff
law is obYiated, Hawley said, by the
fact that the Fordney-McCumner
act, passed in 1922, took 440 articles
from the free list and placed them
on the dutiable list.
HaWley said that applications re-
ceived from various industries de-
string to be heard by the commit
tee indicate that the principal
changes in the present tariff law
will be on agricultural products, &C.
ment. glass, some textile schedules,
kid and goat leather, and lumber.
Although the hearings starting
Monday will be held before the en-
tire committee, the actual writing
of the new tariff law will be made
by its Republican members. To
simplify and expedite procedure, nj
teen separte committees of three
members each will hold executive
sessions on the various tariff sched-
ules.
Indications are, however, that
most of the interested industries are
combining forces to have one spe-
sial counsel present their entire
case.
The complete schedule Of hearings
Is as follows: Chemicals, oils and
paints. Jan. z, 8 and o; earth and
glassware, Jan. 10 and IL; metals,
