BALTIMORE, August 20-Far from
there being an epidemic of infantile
paralysis in Maryland the number of
cases of that disease reported this year
is trailing last year by r. large margin,
according to DR.. Robert H. Riley, di-
rector of the State Department OF
Health.
up to August Of this year there
were seven cases reported in the coup-
ties of the State" DR.. Riley said. Last
year there we're AZ"
There have been two cases reported
from the counties this month, he added
one in Washington County and one
in Queen Annes County.
we have arrangements for bringing
each case to the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital for special and close attention as
soon as the symptoms of poliomyelitis
appear" DR.. Riley said, land that was
done in these two cases.
I'VE never get this disease entirely
cleared out, and there are sporadic
cases appearing at times. but there is
nothing that looks like an epidemic in
this State.
"Of course, there is an epidemic In
New York, and we are taking the pre-
caution Of watching groups that come
here from that State. An instance is a
group which will visit the Eastern Shore
for cacation. We will keep a check on
those for instant isolation if any OF
the symptoms of the disease appear"
Each case that appears in the State is
carefully watched, the health head said
The inspection includes a determination
of whether other children have been
exposed.

You see, they were all ''the fam
fuss.
Well" said Professor Dirty
Clothes, II see we've got good crowd
this week"
He always said that when there was
big wash. A good crowd to him
meant big wash.
'Yes," said Teacher Spots, "lots of
representative spots"
The Soapsud children had all
been taught by Teacher Spots just
what that meant.
He had told them that represen-
tative men were men who were i'm
portant In their different lines, and
who represented or stood for some
thing rather high up and important.
When he spoke OF representative
spots he meant good, big, important,
interesting spots.
II hope I'll be able to handle them
ALL" said Mamma Soapsud.
There, there" said PAPA Soap
sud, "you always get nervous at the
beginning of each wash. But they al
ways go so well
"They turn out splendidly and
you're fine Nanny Soapsud."
THANK you, my DEAR" said Nam
ma Soapsud to Papa Soapsud.
AS she said this she drew her soap
suds hand across her soapsuds face
and wiped 1t with her soapsuds hand
kerchief which, of course, didn't dry
1t in the least.
But as she hadn't wished to dry
1t, that didn't matter at all
Il do hope they'll get at the scrub
bing soon," said Professor Dirty
Clothes.
"The scrubbing board is needed to-
day." he added.
they're going to begin the scrubbing
now"
'Hurrah," said Solomon Soapsud,
NOW for some games and some fun"
Nov for some games and some
fun" chimed in Sammy Soapsud
Hurran !! shouted Shefheld Soap
sud
"Goodie!" said Sidney Soapsud
What a good time they did have
Mamma Soapsud looked at Papa
Soapsud and said;
How happy the dears are" And
Papa Soapsud looked at Mamma Soap
sud and said exactly the same thing.
The professor spoke of it and so
did Teacher Spots and the washtub
was the most gkriously happy
Soapsud playground ever seen.
Although, it is true, they thought
the same each week Not a single
week seemed less happy than any
| other week.

Lands of Interest Seen
by Visitors to Tropics

One of the quainteSt places III the
world is the little Dutch island of
Curacao. The island itself is like
bit of old Holland, with a tropical
flavor lent by its red-roofed houses,
palm trees and warm climate.
Martinique is French and famous
for the garish, brightly colored cos
tunes of it's native women. The city
st. Pierre is an awe-inspiring sight.
Once it nestled coZily at the foot OF
Mount Pelee, lowering volcano
which blew its own head off back in
1902 and wiped out the city below.
Today 1t is in ruins, covered with
lava dust, a city Of the dead.
Trinidad, "land of humming birds, >
is a city Of flowers, Of strange peo-
pies and races, and the home Of the
world famous Pitch lake of La Brea,
from which comes asphalt to pave the
roads of the world. Here are many
Hindus, remnants of East Indian
slaves introduced into the island in
1889. The men wear flowing white
robes, turbans and silk blouSes, while
the women carry their family wealth
with them at all times In the shape
OF gold rings, anklets, heavy earrings
and silver bracelets which cover their
arms from wrist to elbow.
