In announcing the reductions,
the board pointed out that the
rates were brought into closer
relation with he interest rate

These experts said that when a

The institution would take his pa

New York to take advantage of

Another factor that influenced
the reduction, according to the

POLIO FOUGHT

Blood Donations Bought,
and Nasal Sprays Are

CHICAGO, Sept. 6. (UP)-
Medical science arrayed itself to-
day along two known courses
blood donations from those who
have suffered from infantile para
lysis and naval sprays among
those who have not yet become
its victims - to prevent further
spread of mild epidemic" of
the disease already general in the
nation.
Weather conditions east of the
Mississippi river, where tempera-
lures dropped as much as 20 de-
grees in the past AZ hours, aided
the drive by reducing conditions
favorable to spread of the disease.
But the U. S. weather bureau
warned that warm weather al
ready was returning to Nebraska
and the DakotaS and would move
eastward before the end of the
week.
Forecasts for today were "fair
and continued cool"
Eleven new cases and two
deaths in the past "a hours were
reported in Chicago. Toronto,
Ont. had three Saturday and Of
ficials there announced school re-
openings would be delayed.
Chicago parochial schools fol-
lowed the lead of public institu-
tionS yesterday and announced
they also would postpone reopen
ing dates. Similar announcements
already have been made by public
school officials in Buffalo, N. "
Milwaukee and Waukesha, Wis,
Omaha, Neb., Council Bluffs, Ia,
and San Diego, Calf.
The disease, most dreaded OF
all child ailments because it leaves
many of it's victims dead or hope
leSSly crippled, struck more than
1000 persons in the United States
and Canada in the past two weeks,
surveys showed, and has taken al
most 300 lives.
DR.. Herman Bundesen, presi-
dent of Chicago's board of health,
offered $40 per donor to former
poliomyelitis victims who would
offer their blood for use in saving
new victims.
He said the city's present sup
ply of convalescent serum was
approaching shortage"
"The serum may be the means
of saving some child" he said,
DIR. Bundesen explained that
the serum was no preventive 1or
the disease but that it had shown
itself "highly" successful in pre-
venting paralysis in convalescentS.

stacked their dishes one morning and
sailed forth en- masse. Those who used

no extra charge for transportation.

they did see how flies can be elec-

BY this time the habit was so strong
in them that they turned out quite
willingly to visit funeral parlor one

learned what a crematory was and
why some people preferred to think

If you will look back. you will see
that they had already earned the
money the group needed and there
was no justification for further trips.
They had $132 in the fund. The cam

But there is still Mrs. Dolittle, who
will not let matters rest there. She
says there is one trip they must all
make sooner or later and there is no
reason why they cannot all go to the
