Cereals have become known as break
fast foods because when boiled steamed,

they are an accepted course for this

which are so different that they are I'M

PARALYSIS HERE NOT TRACEABLE TO BEACH
N Facts About Infantile Paralysis

The poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis cases registered in sev- eral cities of the state have caused a good deal of scare among par ents. Waterbury, is fortunate in that there have been but two minor cases recorded here. The state health department has issued bulletins on the disease and copy of one was obtained from the of- flee of Health Officer Dr E. J. God frey to-day.
 Concerning polimyelitis, the pamphlet reads:
 Every One Should Know
 That poliomyelitis is not always a fatal disease.
 That nearly three-fourths of the children recover, many with no permanent paralysis.
 That often paralyZed arm or leg can be successfully treated.
 That q person ill with polio- myelitis should remain quiet in bed d month or more during the early stages of the illness. Rest Is es- sential to prevent the further spread of paralysis. and permit re- covcry from the paralysis already present.

 NEW CHICAGO
 TOURIST MAGNET
First l4 Months Shows Popularity of Planetary
 Demonstration

Chicago-UP)-U the gray dome of Chicago's new Adler plan etarium the movements of the heavenly bodies may be seen daily. The first AmeSican planetarium has proved so popular that during it's first n months nearly million persons have visited 1t and wit messed demonstration. The num- Der of visitors for the first year 731, ,O00--was 231 ,000 in excess of the number which the directors estimated would call druing that time.
 The planctarium and institutions of it's kind are held responsible for the changing trend of interest eyinced by visitors to Chicago. The once popular trip to the stock yards, slums or to some spot to which a violent crime had given the name of death corner, is waning in it's appeal to the stran- ger. Civic leaders declare that the planetarium is beco ming definitely associated with Chicago and out siders are not so apt to think or Chicago in terms of q gigantic meat packing town, or city famed for It's crime.
 Virtually all distinguished Visi- tors to Chicago have wanted to see the planctarium, Director Philip Fox stated. And it Is not alone the stranger who is attracted. Chicago ans have nOcked by the thousands to hear the lectures and to see the pla netary movements depicted.
 Many scientists from ail parts of the country have made use of the planetarlum in their researches. Prof Fl. l, Schlesinger. of the Uni- versIty of Chicago. said he hoped the university would be able to use the planetarium and similar insti- tutions as substitute laboratories for work In physical science under the new plan of education to be inaugurated by the university.

APPLE ORCHARD
 PRAYER AIDED
 CARRIE NATION
First Dry Crusaders Man. agef Reveals How
 Drive Began

Montgomery, Mo, (UP)-A fer vent prayer in an apple orchard and the fact that liquor caused her to lose her own home led Carrie Nation into her fight against alcoholic beverages and the licensed saloon, her former manager, Harry c. Turner, has revealed.
 A dogged determination her will was personIficd by her initials "C. A. N."-carried the woman through her struggle, q struggle that started agitation for passag ge of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead act, Turner said. He now is a newspaper man work ing here.
 Her Story.
 Turner recalled the following story regarding the crusader:
 Y lost all the hopes of my young life through drink" Turner quoted the famous woman as say sing. "I felt desperate and took 1t to the Lord in prayer on June ,, 1899, at my home at Medicine Lodge, Kan. l went behind my home and prayed In the apple or chard.
 "The next day, I heard voice: Go to Kiowa. Go to Kiowa, take something in your hands and smash every place that is selling liquor"
 Turner revealed that, contrary 10 popular belief, Carrie Nation did not use q hatchet in her first anti-saloon raids. Rather, he said. she used bricks and rocks wrapped in paper to resemble packages.
 Wrecked Three Saloons
 'I broke three dives my first day." Turner said Mrs Nation re- called when telling in later years of her experiences. "I broke the windows on the outside, smashed all the bottles l could find and threw bricks through the mirrors.
 By this time, q crowd had gathered. I took advantage Of the spectators to tell them of the work 1 was determined to do-- do away with the remaining saloons in Kansas and spread the gospel of temperance throughout the nation"
 Mrs Nation sometimes grew discouraged, especially when faced with persecution, Turner said, but she always exhibited a bulldog determination and carried on for her cause until her death 20 years ago.

FRENCH BUILD
 TOY DIRICIBLE

Paris. (UP)-Whille still op- posed to the building of huge rigid dirigibles of the Zeppelin and Ak ron type, the French government has had constructed and success fully tested a novel pony dirigible which represents the maximum or fighting or commercial efficiency yet attained by small rigid air. ships.
 This new dirigible, destined for the French navy, is capable of about SO miles an hour, as fast as many of the heavy bombardment planes and yet so easily managed that 1t can be operated by a sim gle pilot and his mechanic.
 No other military force possesses such a handy airship, capable of carrying l 1-3 tons of bombs or air mail. The gasbags have ca- pacity of 3,400 cubic meters, and the ship is driven by two 120- horsepower motors.
 This new ship, known as the Zodiac VII, is so small that 1t can be housed in the average aero- plane hangar. Its cabin is built into the framework of the trilobe balloon, so as to give great rigid ity to the whole ship. This permits it to turn in a distance of twice it's own ength, at full speed, without danger.
 The Zodiac VII will be able to land without ground crew, for 1t has 8 pneumatic bumper which can be replaced by pontoons if the airship is to be used over water. These will permit safe landing, even in rough seas.
 The French believe that airships would have certain advantages for mail carrying to the African col- onies over airplanes and 1t is pos- sible that the Zodiac VII may make a test flight for that purpose.

FISHING RIGHTS
 OPEN COURT WAR

Medbord, Ore, (UP)-Battle to the finish between millionaire San Franciscans and "bait fishermen" of southern Oregon was predicted here when the San Franciscans went to court to have the upper Rogue river declared their private property.
 Whatever the circuit courts de- cision, it was freely predicted, ap- ucals will be taken and the fight may'beohmc a protracted and ex- pensive legal battle.
 The "bait fishermen were not involved in the suit of Herbert Flcishhackcr and others to have the river declared their property, but they watched the case closely, prepared to take part.
 Seekers after gold went up the river bed during unprecedented low water, hunting for deposits of mineral in rock Assures in the river bd. The Californians had purchased property on both sides of the Rogue, famed steelhead fishing stream, and had posted trcspass notices. They secured temporary injunction, claiming that the river was not navigab1c and that their property extended to the center of the stream from both sides. The matter was to be further thrashed out in an appli- cation for a permanent injunction.
 Southern Oregon's "bait fisher men" take their flshin' seriously. Day laborcrs. mechanics, business and professional men, they have repeatedly subscribed war funds of thousands of dollars to get leg islatlon barring commercial fish ermen from the full length of the Rogue.
 It was believed they would also start q battle If the Californians try to keep them off the choice rifles and casting pools of the upper river.

 Mystic signs, shadows cast by the sun or moon, according to le- gend, set the date or the Hopis to plead for the Gods of the Under world to send rain. Runners carry news of the date across the desert to the seven mesas about 15 days before the dance.
 If custom is followed, dances honghovi, because this season in bercd year. On even-numbered years the ceremonies are held at Hotevllli. Shipaulovi and Shungo- povi, larger of the settlements.
 Dead Clan Leader
 Mystery shrouds the death of Chief Shupela, high priest of the Snake Clan. Whether successor will be named te Indians declined to say, but the ceremonies will continue as usual. The aged clan leader, director of the ceremonies for many years, died last winter and fears that the dances would be discontinued were current.
 For years Chief Shu-pela di- rccted the ceremony. He partici- pated in the heather prayer to the Rain Gods of the Underworld by chanting to the sacred messengers the snakes of the desert.
 The actual dance Is spectacular and draws thousands across the desert to the magnetic Hopiland. Two clans are active in the rites.
 The Antelope Clan, closely unit ed with the Snakcmen since q le- gcndary antelope was saved by q snake who cured the animal after injecting deadly poison into it's body, sing and dance during the rain prayer.
 From 60 to 80 snakes, more than half Of them deadly rattlers, are used. The snake priests dance with the snakes for more than an hour at locations in the center of the pueblos, built on high mesas.
 Striking Spectacle
 The snake are handed to mem bers of the snake clan from a kisi, q bower built of cottonwood boughs, while the antelope clans men chant heather prayers to the accompaniment of rattlers and throbbing tom-toms. Painted in gaudy fashion, the dancers pre- sent a striking spectacle with the buzzing rattlesnakes and wriggling bull snakes clasped in their hands and mouths.
