most important. The crippled mus
cles should be put in what is called
the neutral position for ideal rest.
This prevents stretching or strain
of weakened muscles.
Besides that, heat, massage and
pressure are used.
Heat is used to improve the cir
culation of the muscles and nerves
involved. This is done by alternat-
ing sprays Of hot and cold water.
This treatment came out of Austria
liza and is known as Sister Kenny's
method.
A combination of all forms Of
treatment is logical, and the most
important feature of all is proper
medical supervision. 4

Test of Muscle Response
Besides this, a muscle may be par
tally paralyzed. A system of grad
ing muscle response after infantile
paralysis, known as Kendalls, clas-
SITES the muscle response in five
categories: zero, poor, fair, good
and normal.
After the acute stage Of infantile
paralysis is over, then, a great deal
can be hoped for in scientific muscle
training. Sir Robert Jones, in Eng
land. and Lovett, in Boston, after
the extensive epidemic of 1915, laid
down rules for the systematic re-
education of these muscles.
In 1926 the re-education Of mus
cles by exercises under water was
begun. The idea has gained such
headway that it threatens to over
shadow all other forms of after
treatment. 1t has come to be widely
believed that unless child can gain
access to an elaborate and expensive
establishment with pool facilities
there is no chance to re-educate the
muscles.
Drv Exercises Effective
This is by no means true, and DR..
K. G. Hanson, Of New York, has
shown that properly regulated and
supervised education in dry gym
nasium gives just as good results as
underwater exercises.
It is true that nothing gives the
crippled child such sense of secu-
r;tv as when supported by the water.
Rut failing such facilities it is pos
s;hle to obtain maximum restoration
an -drv land-that is, on table.
Besides that, there. has been re-
+urn in enthusiasm for accessory
methods Of treatment, additional to
underwater exercises.
All too often expensive pool equip
want leads to neglect Of supervision.
The children are assembled, a whis-
tle blows and they go in the pool.
After il minutes Of indiscriminate
smashing about, the whistle blows
acain and they get out. The pool is
supposed to do it all.

INFANTILE paralysis is an
acute infectious and contagious dis
ease. Like all infectious diseases,
the onset is marked by fever, Ian
guor, lack of appetite and dullness
of the mind. In many cases this is
all there is to it. No paralysis ap-
pears. In most cases some paralysis
appears and entirely clears up dur
ing convalescence. Less than half
the patients are left with any resid-
ual paralysis.
If there is paralysis, it is always
worse at first. Practically in every

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

C. s.: :"I had scarlet fever twenty
years ago. Now I am rapidly get
ting hard Of hearing. Could scarlet
fever exert this effect after so long
time?"
Answer Mo, the deafness Of
scarlet fever comes on Immediately.
Your condition seems to resemble
chronic sclerosis Of the ear. /
w. K. NJ: II am troubled with a
continual salt taste which at times
increases considerably. What should
I do to correct this trouble?"
Answer-This form Of ptyalism
is either due to the use Of some drug
mercury? bromides or to excess
sive smoking or some irritation in
the mouth-tonsilitis, infected teeth
or neglected teeth.
B. T.: "Can gallstones be removed
without an operation and how?
Answer-No, gallstones cannot
be dissolved or removed without an
operation. Sometimes very small
stones pass, causing gladstone collie.
But if a gladstone is small enough
to pass out into the intestine, there
are usually many left behind, be-
cause when small stones form in the
gall-bladder there are usually thou
sands of them. While gallstones
cannot be dissolved they often, after
one or two disturbances, lie quiet
and cause no harm. The use Of
sodium phosphate before breakfast,
a teaspoonful in a glass of warm
water slipped while dressing. helps.
H. w.: "Please tell me the cause
and cure of bad breath"
Answer-Bad breath is in SO per
cent of cases due to unclean condi-
tions in the mouth or nose. Bad ton
sis, bad gums, bad teeth, atrophic
rhinitis. Scrupulous attention to
oral hygiene and frequent daily use
of the tooth brush will help. .

JACK S ON VII E, Fla,
March 17-"Florida's little
Scottsboro case involving
the lives of four men sentence

murder Of a white fish dealer, was

son were picked up one April night
in 1898, along with several other
suspects who were being held in
connection with the murder Of a
fish dealer, Robert Dorsey.
Feeling in the community ran
high and the sheriff, determined to
deliver the murderer, grilled the
suspects for a full week with third
degree methods. Finally these four
men broke under the strain and
made a confession. The men were
tried and sentenced to die.
Reversed Four Times
Four times the supreme court Of
the state sent the case back to the
lower court for new trials when
errors were shown. On the fifth
appeal, however. the supreme court
upheld the dean sentence, but not
without a divided opinion.

Siqns Warn Italians
Against Discussing
World Affairs
Nation Seen on Level
About Her Neutrality
In Present War
(EleUenth of a Series.)
BY WILLIAM L, WHITE.

ROME, Italy (By AirmaiD In
my favorite bar just around the
corner they have outside small!
kiosk where you can buy English
and American papers. Just inside
stuck into the modernistic paneling
by thumbtack, is a sign which
translates roughly as follows: THE
National Fascist Party suggests that
there be no public discussions or
| predictions of grand strategy or
world affairs"
A similar sign is in all the best
bars in Rome, where the best
dressed Fascists bring their best
girls, and it is also in all the smaller
outlying second-best bars, where the
better-d dressed Fascists bring the
girls of their best friends.
The Italians, whether members OF
| the party or not. do not regard
this sign as an unbearable affront
to their liberty of speech. They
think it is very sound idea. They
think the present is no time for any
| italian to be shooting his mouth of
for or against either side in the
present war.
Neutrality on Level.
The principal discovery I have
made since I came to this country
is that Italian neutrality is COM
pletely on the level-a good deal
more so, in fact, than is American
neutrality. The Gallup poll shows
that many Americans would favor
going to war if our entry would save
the democracies from total ami
hilating defeat.
But Italy would not go to war to
save anybody else from anything
quite the contrary. Italy will never
fight unless it would gain some
thing very definite and tangible for
Italy, and in the present stage Of
this war the Italians can't predict
what that could possibly be.
She has interests in the Balkans
and might have to 60 in if war
moved into that part of the world
But she doesn't think it will, be-
| cause Russia and Germany are
watching each others moves in that
region too closely. and for this rea-
son probably no one will move in
the Balkans at ALL
In the last war she wanted some
thing, specifically a piece of the
| Austrian Alps to complete her from
tier and a slice of the Adriatic for
good measure. She has both of
these now. If the democracies
started to go to pieces, of course
Italy would come in at the end to
grab of piece of the African coast.
But she doesn't think that they will.
Long Deadlock Seen.
The average Italian who turns up
in the better bars at around
o'clock with his own or another
Italians girl for cocktails thinks this
war will be fairly long -drawn-ou,
deadlock. with presently nego-
tiated peace, ending in a mild Allied
victory.
The industrial north of Italy
which would have been the battle
ground had Italy entered the war
