Shaking Hands Is
Matter of Impulse

n EAR Mrs. Post: Should a wom-
- an, when taking leave of a
small family group, several Of
whom she met on this occasion for
the first time, shake hands with ev-
eryOne? And would the fact that
she shook hands with each one an
hour or so before when meeting
them have any bearing on your an
swer? While | know that shaking
hands is not so much practiced to-
day as it once was, wish | knew
at what times it was still the polite
thing to do.
Answer: The question of whether
to shake hands under the circum-
stances you mentioned is far more
a matter of impulse than of rule.
If those whom you have been talk
ing with are standing directly next
to you, your natural impulse would
be to shake hands. But if they are
sitting in different parts of the room
you would certainly not go from one
to the other. Again, if one of them
goes with you as far as the door,
you would probably shake hands
with her, or him, as you say good
by.

CHAPTER II

Walt Amos, sheriff of the Red
Hills country, was youngish man,
with direct but mild gray-green
eye. He led low-headed pony by
a rope to his saddle horn.
I'm right glad you rode over,
Horse" he said when the "a men
had drawn up. you'll be able to
help Link, here, recall how the sign
looked when you first seen it."
Behind him, lounging in their sad
dies, sat three others. These,
Wheeler knew, were Link Bender,
tall, hawk faced, close Tipped;
Links son, lanky, weasel-faced
youth whom Wheeler knew only as
"the Kid; and Cayuse Cayetano, a
saffron-faced Indian breed who wore
circular shield marked Indian
Police" upon green and black
checked shirt.
These three had nodded in greet
ing, but said nothing; and now
there was a moments awkward
pause. In the silence could be heard
an irregular moaning sound some
where far to the north-the below
ing of cattle working themselves
into state of mind over some I'M
known thing.
81 was figuring to ride over to
your place later, anyway, Dunn"
the sheriff said. 81 was especially
kind of hoping you'd recognize this
horse"
Link Bender" Dunn said slow
ly-"he found him, did he?"
''He found the horse-this horse;
not the man."
Dunn studied the led horse at the
sheriff's flank. $50 this" Dunn
said, sis the horse teller got killed

against the spread of infantile paral-
ysis. It was battle that widened
to many more fronts as time wore
on, and by 1885 the infectious ma
ture of the disease was pretty gen.
orally accepted.
Yet it was not until 1908 that the
first real advance was made in the
search for a germ. Then Land
steiner and Pepper, in Paris, inject
ed portions of the brain and spinal
chord, taken from a fatal human
case of infantile paralysis, into
some monkeys. They succeeded in
injecting the monkeys with the dis
ease, thus putting it on an expert
mental basis for the first time. Only
a short time later several doctors
almost simultaneously managed to
pass poliomyelitis from one monkey
to another. They were Flexner and
Lewis in New York, Leiner and Won
Weisner in Vienna, and Landsteiner
and Levaditi in Paris.
The way was now cleared to
studying the mechanism of the dis
ease. 1t was indicated how the
germ was spreading, but scientists
still had not banded in any united
effort. 1t took a national tragedy
to wake them up.
In the summer of 1916 the great
infantile paralysis epidemic hit the
United States. It began in a small
area in Brooklyn, then spread rap
idly over the rest of New York City
and Long Island, eventually cascad-
ing over the entire country. 1t
touched every state, and struck
down more than $4,000 persons,
most of them children.
Health Officers at Loss.
Panic swept the nation. In the
mistaken belief that only those I'M
der sixteen were susceptible, rail-
road officials refused to let children
ride on trains. Vigilante bands of
citizens established unofficial mar
tial law in many places, and health
certificates were required as "pass-
ports for children moving from one
community to another.
Health officers made every con-
ceivable effort to check the disease,
but they still lacked working
knowledge of ways and means to
combat its ravages. The epidemic
died of itself, finally, and so did
public terror. There have been less
epidemics since then; $4,000 cases
were reported in 1881, and 10000
each in the years 1927 and 1885.
Medical science recognized infan-
tile paralysis as one of it's most
challenging problems and redoubled
its efforts to find an answer. Foun-
dations, research laboratories both
public and private, universities and
individual physicians and research
workers concentrated their atten-
ton upon it.
But it remained for a layman,
Col. Henry L. Doherty, to begin the
most novel move in the battle, one
which popularized the fight among
all classes of Americans. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself a
victim of infantile paralysis, in
spired the move. President Roose-
velt's previous interest in the cause
of fellow sufferers had been repeat
edly manifested by activities on be-
half of the Warm Springs, Ga, foun-
dation where victims are treated.
First Presidents Birthday Ball.
Visiting Warm Springs in 1888,
Colonel Doherty also became deep
ly interested, and acquired first
hand knowledge of the research and
after-treatment work going forward
in this country. He saw the need
for more widespread coordination
of effort. After discussing the mat

ter with the President, he conceived
the idea of gigantic series of
parties which would enable MILLIONS
of Americans to do their share in
the war on polio.
Under Colonel Doherty's direction
the mammoth party-organizing task
was started. A national headquar-
tiers was established in New York
and civic-minded persons were
called upon to help. The first series
of parties was held on January 80,
1884, the Presidents birthday.
Funds Aid Experiment.
So far more than $4,000 900 has
been raised by the annual parties.
Seventy per cent remains to fight
infantile paralysis in the community
where it was raised, while 80 per
cent goes to the national fund, to be
used for research or rehabilitation
work.
One important use to which the
receipts from the parties was put
was the development of the nasal
spray preventive for poliomyelitis.
How this spray came to be dis
covered is dramatic episode in
medical history. The subvisible mi
crobes have ever defied scientists
to follow their meanderings. Yet,
after long and brilliant experiment
tation, scientists in laboratories in
New York, Chicago, Stanford uni
versity and London at last found out
that the nose was doorway to the
polio virus.
In the laboratories of the United
States public health service, Charles
Armstrong, ''microbe hunter" de-
cided that if he could find some
means of blocking that doorway,
there would be no way for the dead
ly germs to attack. For three years
he experimental with a whole drove
of rhesus monkeys. Finally he found
what he wanted. BY washing the
insides of the monkeys noses with
a weak solution of picric acid and
alum, he was able to save "a out
of Is monkeys exposed to a hot, ex-
ceptionally dangerous infantile pa
ralysis virus!
Confusion Hampers Test.
Armstrong was confident that il
his solution worked with monkeys
it ought to be effective on humans.
But he was forced to wait for an
opportunity to make the test. 1t APP
parently arrived last summer, when
an epidemic broke out in Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee. Rush
ing to the scene, he won widespread
support to his plan of spraying the
solution into the children's noses.
He planned to have the doctors
supervise the spraying and keep
careful records. Unfortunately the
experiment got out of hand: the
doctors became swamped with de-
mands upon their time and many
parents used the easily procurable
solution without bothering about sci
entific counsel on its use.
After salvaging what records he
could and making extensive rec
ords of his own, Armstrong decided
that more powerful solution was
needed. Two California scientists,
working on funds supplied by the
Presidents Birthday Ball commits
sion, supplied it. They were E.
w. Schultz and L. P. Gebhardt of
Stanford university, and they Of
fered a per cent zinc sulphate So
luton. Zinc sulphate had been used
for years as an eyewash. They dis
covered it was virtually 100 per
cent effective in preventing infantile
paralysis when sprayed into the
noses of monkeys.

BY WILLIAM c. UTLEY

WITH a wave of infantile
w paralysis assuming serious
proportions in the south CEN
trail region of the United States,
science may find its long
awaited opportunity to make
mass tests of nose sprays as a
means of preventing the dread,
Gripping disease.
Nasal sprays have proved nearly
100 per cent effective upon labora-
tory monkeys, which respond to poll
omyelitis (infantile paralysis) in the
same way humans do. But until an
extensive outbreak of the disease
occurred there was no chance to
conduct experiments upon humans,
for the lives of large numbers of
persons must not be endangered I'M
necessarily. 49,.
Now that outbreak may be at
hand, for the south central regions
are reporting an increase in polio"
cases far over the normal increase
which comes with the summer
months. Between May and July
"a there were, according to the
United States public health service,
1876 cases reported from the west
south central region, as compared
with only Is cases for the same Pc
riod of 1886 and IS cases for the
same period of 1885. During these
weeks the east south central region
reported BIT cases. as compared
with 234 in 1886 and 81 in 1885. There
was some indication of the spread of
the disease eastward.
Doctors hope that the nose spray
will be proved definitely successful
in its application to human beings,
for it is more than a century since
the first written account of poliomye-
litis was made by trained physi-
clan.
English Doctor Started Crusade.
Even so, progress has been phe-
nomenally rapid in the light of the
age of the disease, for it is prob
ably as old as mankind.
But it was only 102 years ago that
DR.. John Badham, of Worksop, Eng
land, moved by the condition of four
tiny patients, pleaded through the
medium of medical journals for 9TH
er doctors to come to his aid with
suggestions for the cure of a dis
ease nobody knew anything about.
DR.. Badham's paper, telling of the
plight of the four crippled young
sters doomed to pathetically unhap-
py lives, launched one of the great
est crusades in medical history.
Poorly equipped as they were, doc
tors of the Nineteenth century did
not hesitate in responding to the pio-
neering Badham's call for assist
ance.
Get on Trail of Germ.
Only five years later, Jacob Won
Heine, German orthopedic surgeon
of Cannstaat, made public an i'm
portant study of infantile paralysis.
His practice brought him in contact
with many cases of deformed limbs
In children. A shrewd observer, he
noticed something about young par
alytics which other medical men
had largely overlooked. He saw that
paralysis was the result of some
kind of acute disease which proceed
ED the appearance of muscular
weakness.
The discovery was epochal for, in
other words, Heine perceived that
paralysis in children didn't just hap
pen-it had definite antecedent
cause. He won for himself a place
