 Meanwhile, Dr. Schultz is busy trying to find less irritating, but just as powerful chemicals as zinc sulphate.
 Another chemical research in which pr. Schultz is interested, Is an attempt to find Q chemical which will cure the sickness, af- ter 1t has broken out in monkeys. This is one of the never projects which the Foundation Is hoping to sponsor.
 The remarkable drug, sulfanil- amide, which cures serious bac- teiial diseases, gives our search CTS the right to hope that other drugs might be found which would be powerful against vir- uses, among them infantile par alysis virus.

This loss of the sense of smell may very well mean that the gateway of the paralytic death has been blocked for the time be- ing. This might dramatically cut short an epidemic if our physi- clans and healthmen applied 1t to threatened population on @ mass scale. But, last year, there was no epidemic on which the experi- ment could be made. It will al- most certainly be tried in the future and the Foundation is mak- ing plans to make this momentous field test.
 One possible danger looms here. Even though sense of smell re- turns after one application of zinc sulphate, might permanent damage result to children under repeated annual 'dosings. This possibility must be faced, and studied by. our nose and throat doctors whose

State of Alabama which is across the river.
 ] made an observation of this sulphur spring on the top of Pine Mountain on Thanksgiving morn- ing-November %, 1887. There are 12,000 acres of land owned by the Government here. On the top of the mountain there is rather level and somewhat rolling country. The approach is nine miles up grade with very poor road made of red clay which is very hard to travel on especially when wet.
 On the top of the Mountain boiling water bubbles out of the ground in one spring which is only about 800 or 600 feet from the Administration Building. This pool is built of tile brick and marble. About 85 or 90 feet away is a swimming pool for winter, SO to speak, all glassed in. There is an- other spring running Into this en- closure with about 200 gallons of water bubbling out of the ground with the same temperature as that of the first spring.
 There is an administration building, @ hospital. e recfeation room and pass way from one building to another enclosed in glass during the stormy weather. There are a very few scattered cottages about 100 yards from the main building. The capacity of the hospital is 175 paces.
 It Is indeed a pitiful sight to see the young flowers of our coun- try, both boys and girls, ranging from the ages of 2 to i6, stricken with this dreadful disease. Some are paralyzed from the waist down others have just their arms par- alyzed.
 The Roosevelt Foundation is still only in It's infancy. It will take thousands and thousands of dol- lars to erect the necessary build ings and provide the necessary equipment.
 I would suggest to the public in general to give to this worthy cause and wipe out this dreadful disease which has taken such c hold in this country. Who knows when this deadly weapon will strike your home and afflict your loved ones.
 Any contribution given, no mat ter how large or how small, will do a great deal to the furthering of this project. What a grand feeling it is to know that we can do something to help those that are less fortunate than we are.
 plead with you, fellow citi- zens, to give and give until 1t hurts. If each one contributes his share we cannot help but win.

Dr. Aycock of Harvard is deep in this problem-and he believes that heredity plays a big part in deter mining whether or not you are a candidate for paralytic doom. The sickness tends to bunch its incidence in certain families.
 Do we know enough to try to prevent or control epidemics of mfantile paralysisp For a long while, serum from people getting better from polio was supposed to cut short the infection when it was injected into sick people. But Drs. Kramer and Aycock, and pr. William H. Park, have conducted large scale human experiments, during epidemics, which show that such serum is valueles.
 The Foundation or rather its predecessor, the Presidents In- fantile Paralysis Research Com mission-spent large sums in test ing out the power of possible preventive vaccines. The knowl- edge gained was negative. The vaccines had no preventive pow CT.
 Drs. Armstrong of the Ma tional Institute of Health and Schultz of Leland Stanford Uni- versity discovered that when so- lutions of alum, or picric acid, or zinc sulphate, are dropped into the noses of monkeys, such ani- mals become proof against enor- nous doses of virus dropped into their nostrils. This resistance lasts for two monthssor longer.
 Can this powerful chemical blockading effect be used to try to guard our children during epi- denies? Trials have begun with zinc sulphate. Workers under the Foundations grants, among them Drs. Peet and Hauser of the Uni- versity of Michigan, have perfected simple methods of getting zinc sulphate up onto the nerves of smell in the top peoples noses.
 But zinc sulphate is terribly painful to the noses of erownups. It knocks out their sense of smell for weeks and even months. In children 1t is not nearly so pain full, and the sense of smell returns rather quickly.

Is on the trail of another possible ity for prevention of polio. He has discovered that when certain endocrine gland extracts were dropped Into monkeys noses, and then the virus of the disease was dropped into the nostrils of these samo animals, Q curious thing hap. pened. Many of the monkeys resis- ted the infection. And, more impor- tant still. most of the surviving an- imals developed a lasting, solid ii,n- munity to the disease.

Holiday Weekend
Ccontmued from FIRST Page,

The largest crowd of the season.
approximately $4,000 persons. was
reported at Rehoboth Beach Sunday,
although the majority left early on
Monday morning and afternoon.
Weather Found Ideal
The weather over the entire week
end was ideal for resorts with no
threat of storm until late Monday
night, when rain struck all sections
of the State. Police at Rehoboth
said that cottages and hotels were
filled to capacity Saturday and Sun
day and virtually all available park
ing space was taken in the resort
by the large number of automobiles.
Other resorts along the Delaware
Bay and River also had peak
crowds with many fishing and crab
bling enthusiasts at the States fish
ing centers.
Railroad traffic was reported
above normal" but not nearly as
heavy as it was Sunday. Most of
Monday nights traffic included per-
sons returning from resorts and
