Isolation Recommended If Child
Shows Unusual Symptoms
-oITgp by ANNE HARDY DAVIS.

"Do you isolate your child when
he shows unusual symptonS?" is
the question asked in the weekly
health article submitted to the
Post-Press by the Imperial county
committee of the Save the Chill
dren fund.
when your child shows signs
of having fever, complains of a
sore throat. has a cold in his head,
or is fretful and cross and does
not have his usual appetite, he
should be put to bed Immediately
and kept apart from other men,
berS of the family.
1T may be the beginning of a
very minor illness, but then again
it might be the beginning of a
contagious disease. Many Of the
communicable diseases are the
most dangerous during the first
few days or hours of their onset.
For instance sore throat with
or without fever may mean the
onset of scarlet fever, and at that
stage it is possible for the child
to spread the germs among sus-
ceptible persons. The tiny DROP
lets of moisture which the in
fected person breathes in the air
may cause serious illness or death.
What might seem to be SIM
pie sore throat or tonsilitis might
be diphtheria or sceptic sore
throat.

ERADICATION -SHOCKED'' BRTTONS STILL
 SEE ROYALTY THROUGH UNCERTAIN HAZE
"BuiId-up" of King Pushed by Press
 and Officials
By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent.

London, Aug. 2.-The grim "wel- coming" concert of bursting bombs and cracking flames and splitting rifles which punctuated the state visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Belfast, did not dismay British ofilcialdom or the public. It was those Irish Republican terror ists" up to mischief again, and that was that.
 Of far more concern to the Brit ish government, and of deeper sig nificance, Is the reaction of the Empire as a whole-of the Briton- in-the-street--to the present royal family which picked up the scepter that Edward VIII tossed aside for love of woman.
 British propagandists who have their fingers on the public pulse might have been nonplussed If they had attended newsreel perform ance in London movie house with this correspondent, on a night just before Amelia Earhart was given up for lost. The applause barometer bLleEG EShu UluS' cOE nlllk GSVEBG VI, 0; for Queen Mary, 10; for Miss Earhart, 20.
 Results Checked With Others
 There was not @ ripple of applause when pictures of the King were ex- hibited. Queen Mary got quite Q hand-but there was double the ap- plause when America's Lady Lindy" was shown. Thinking this might have been merely an idiosyncracy of that par- ticular audience, this correspondent checked up with numerous friends who are frequent patrons Of cen- tral and suburban movie houses, They have reported practically the same comparative scores when pic- lures Of royalty are shown In con- nection with those of other celeb- rites.
 Recently King George and Queen Elizabeth went to Covent Garden to see the opera Prince Igor" There
