Survey Made or Lnfantile Paralysis Through Nation

nation had 2,315 cases, whereas the total to the same 1884 date was 3,430.
 Anxious parents of North Caro- lima, where the dread. disease has struck 534 children since Jan. 1st, found encouragement today in the fact that yesterday was the first day in 12 weeks without develop cases in Virginia increased the to- tai in that state since July 1 to 391, but rigid quarantine measures were expected to win a slow battle.
 Dr.. J. c. Knox, North Carolina state epidemiologist, warned par ents not to relax precautions that have kept thousands of children from theaters, swimming pools and Sunday school through most of their vacations. "Very probably new cases will be reported within the next day or two," he said. "The disease will bob up and down until October, at least"
 New York city authorities, with the opening of schools only a month distant, instituted rigid quarantine over individual cases to halt a spread which has caused 103 new cases in four days, 30 more than occurred in all of 1884. The entire state had only 104 casse in the week ending August 3rd.
 Massachusetts was another "dan- ger" spot on the health may. Chill dren were barred from theaters and swimming pools in many com munities. The state has had 197 cases this year.
 Maryland intensified the quaran- tine against the District of Colum- bia, where a semi-epidemic condi- ton forced cancellation last week of convention of Boy Scouts. Maryland authorities forbade use by District of Columbit and Vir- ginia national guardsmen of Camp Ritchie at Cascade, Md. Pennsyl- yania ordered the same ban several days ago.
 The more encouraging side of the national picture was in figures which showed more than 30 states with fewer cases than at the same time last year. Missouri and illi- nois, where the last previous ser ious epidemic occurred, had only "A cases today between them. Illi- noise, which had a light epidemic last summer, has had 15 fewer cases than the normal 70 for the year to date.
 The fact that states surrounding the epidmeic center were com par atively free of paralysis encouraged health officers. South Carolina has ha donly 36 cases all year, Georgia 13, Alabama 3s, Tennesse 43, Flor ida 10, and Pennsylvania now has 15.
 There were 20 cases today in De- troit and Wyandotte. Mich.. and two persons have died of the dis ease, but authorities said there was no danger of an epidemic. One of three cases in Texas died and there have been five fatalities in 54 cases since. Jan. in Connecti- cut. Western states were almost free of the disease, many having had no cases all this year.

 New York, Aug. 14-(UP)-The stock market swung irregularly to- day, fairly heavy profit taking be- ing easily absorbed by investment demand.
 Trading was lighter than in Monday and Tuesdays two million share days, but volume was above the 1,50O, 900 share mark.
 Selectivity appeared in the list and strength centered in oils.
 The main list was spotty. Some special inductrials, such as Gen. eral Electric, mounted to new highs while recent leaders eased. Utih- ties were close to previous closes after lower priced shares had gone into new highs. There was fair demand in the railroad group.
 Commodity markets gave a mixed view. Lard went to new highs for the year, with maximum limits of fluctuation reached on the Chicago board of trade in Keeping with high hog prices. Cot ton prices jumped almost $2~ a bale from lows when Senator John H. Bankhead predicted a F cent loan, and then lost most of the gain. Grains were irregular with exception of corn which was more than a cent a bushel higher. U. S. governments were irregularly low CT while corporation bonds were higher.
 Commonwealth & Southern again was the most active issue on the board and touched another new 1885 peak at 2%, retaining most of its gain.

 'Tf the retail liquor trade allows situation to develop wherein pickering, quarreling among the several classes of permittees, and general scolding prevails, the pub lie will be in a very short time become so sick of the entire mess that they will come to the con- clusion that the trade is just a nuisance.
 we of the fifth district associa- ton are committed to fight this tendency with every resource at our command. At the Connecticut alcoholic beverage conference to be held in the Women's club audi torium September 10, we intend to bring together the most represen- tative men in the retail liquor in- dustry and set up a statewide or ganization on sound lines, with one association to each congressional district. It is our opinion that we will succeed in making this state- wide association the standard asso- citation of the retail industry"

 New York, Aug. 14-(Uf)--A national survey by the United Press of prevalence of infantile paralysis revealed today that al- though the disease is epidemic in North Carolina and Virginia and is spreading n other communtes, notably New York cty, the number of cases through the rest of the country is below normal Health authorities said the disease, except in the epidemic areas of the south and east, was only 'seasonally pre- valent" and the number of cases might be expected to decline rapid ly with advent of autumn weather.

NAZIS DRIVE ON EVANCEL LlCAL
 CHURCH HEADS
Powerful Protestant Group
 May Next Feel Whip 'si of the Master
ty FREDERICK oECHsNER Copyright, 1885, by United Press)

Berlin, Aug. 14-CUP)-A drive aimed at smashing the powerful opposition element in the Evan gelical church, which has defied the Nazi regime for two years, was believed imminent today.
 Two official decrees were be- 1ieved to mean that Hans Kerrl, newly appointed overlord of all church matters, was ready to start the attack which was foreshadowed when he was named July IS.
 Two Decrees That Hurt
 In one decree, the supreme Evangelical church council moved to make sure that salaries to min isters should be restricted to men ordained by the official" church government of Nazi Reichbishop Ludwig Mueller.
 cation Bernard Rust ordered that theological students must study at approved faculties instead of at theological seminaries nj support of the opposition.
 It has been indicated that Kerrl's fight to Nazify the Evangelical church might prove harder than that against political" activities of Roman Catholic churchmen.
 The June 16, 1893 census showed 40,S65,151 Protestants, 62.7 of the population. There were 21,172,0s7 Roman Catholics, or 32.5 per cent.
 More than Half Against
 Some sources assert that more than half the Protestant clergymen are against "totalization" of their religion on Nazi lines.
 At any rate, for two years the pastors of the Evangelical opposi- tion have defied Nazi authorities on religious grounds, though asserting their loyalty to Adolf Hitler and his ideals.
 Reichsbishop Mueller was named head of the church to bring them in line, but apparently made little progress. What happened was that the lines between the factions were drawn more sharply and the term schism was used to describe the situation.

E. Jackson Ryan of Thomaston, once tieposed and later restored as executive secretary of the Connec- lieut. Tavern Owners association and whose activities have been roundly criticized in the past by local tavern men and members of rival organizations. was the ob- ject to-day of a bitter attack by Lewis s. 'Lauria, secretary of the Fifth District Retail Liquor Deal- ers' association. Lauria declared that Ryan, whose organization con- vened yesterday in New Haven and is seeking an injunction al- lowing taverns to remain open on Sunday, as an 'archtype of people who are doing the liquor indus try harm" and by inference charged him with being "clownish in the extreme" and one of those ''interested in exploiting them selves"
 Lauria, in a statement, called on the liquor industry in Connecticut to cease pickering and quarreling in its own ranks and to unite in a common effort to safeguard it's own interests. Otherwise, he said, the public will become "sick of the entire mess." Lauria at tackled the policy of Ryans' or ganization in calling on "spotters" to see that restaurants and hotels stay within the law, and Ryans practice of seeking to forbid these establishments the right to sell on Sunday.
 Lauria's statement:
 "At the regular meeting of the Fifth District Liquor Dealers asso- citation yesterday afternoon in the Log Cabin Grill on East Farms street, resolution of denunciation was passed" MT. Ryan was roundly criticized for his recent announcement that he planned to hire inspectors to inform on res- taurant permittees who might be violating the liquor law. We also attacked his policy of appearing before city officials in the past of the state where he operates in or der to prevent the passing of ordi- nances to allow restaurants. hotels and clubs to sell liquor on Sunday as provided by statute.
 Tt is high time that the mem bers of the retail liquor industry had their eyes opened to the situ- ation. Retail dealers have been duped by people interested in ex- plotting themselves since prohibit ion was repealed. The activities of these people, usually clownlsh in the extreme, has cast a cloud of doubt o nthe work being done by those who are endeavoring intelli- gently to advance the best interests of the liquor business.
 UnknowDs Hurt Dealers
 'Tegal liquor business has been in operation a comparatively short time. For this reason. it has be- come possible for individuals with little regard for the facts of the situation to get themselves prom inently placed in the public eye, and the result will be severe dam

 Black Enraged

PERFUMES WILL
 BE PROTESTED

Boston, Aug. 14--(UP)-Possi- bility that the threatened Italo- Ethiopian war might deprive the American wopan of her perfume, or make her pay a prohibitive price, was discounted by experts here today.
 Although the oil of the Ethio- plan civet cat is used as a fixative for expensive perfumes, the high cost already has led to the use of synthetic oils, and a war cutting off the supply would merely com plete the process, an engineer of the Felton Chemical company ex- plained.
 The Ethiopian civit is a large variety of skunk, and the oil is similar to that which makes the skunks odor cling for hours.
