Girl in Iron
Lung Is Dead
Plan Autopsy for
Doris Little. l8

Health officials planned an
autopsy Thursday afternoon TO
determine II infantile paralysis had
claimed a third victim in Tacoma
Doris Little. IS, 1870 So. 53rd
st. died at 10:45 a. m. in an
isolation ward in Pierce County
hospital. She was one Of four
who have been in iron lungs, 4"
but conflicting symptoms resulted
in a doubtful diagnosis. physicians
stated.
The young woman was the sub
ject OF an emergency transfer
from another local hospital on
May 20. when her condition be-
came serious. She had been re-
ceiving hospital treatment perio-
Ideally for six weeks prior TO that
time. and ahead of the outbreak
of the infantile paralysis epidemic.
Others Improving
Her condition, however, indi-
Gated she may have been suffering
from encephalitis or spinal menin-
gifts. The confusion of symp-
toms left doubt whether she was
definitely affected by infantile
paralysis.
DR.. Melvin Warren, In charge
of the paralysis isolation ward,
announced the autopsy would be
performed. The physician, here
from Seattle Orthopedic hospital
stated that the other three in
iron lung" respirators showed
improvement.
Health officials generally believe
the epidemic is on the wane.
Isolation of two persons listed
only as suspect" cases was the
only other new development.
Not Prohibited
DR.. N. f. Magnussen, county
health director, issued an an
nouncement saying that at no
time has he placed restrictions
against swimming at any lake or
resort in the county. His office
previously had suggested that
pleasure-seekers refrain from that
type of recreation during the early
part Of the contagion, but no
order prohibiting swimming was
issued.
Dr. Magnussen said no new
case has developed since May 30,
and believes the outbreak is
waning.

A decision on the injunction suit
of the Edwards Fuel Co. on the
tideflats against the teamsters
union, to prevent picketing of the
company's office. was delayed
Thursday when Judge J. NJ. Phillips
of Montesano, hearing the case,
asked for briefs from both sides.
The fuel company claims it sells
wood to truck drivers as independ-

it while the picketing union

Contract Let
For Broadway
Work 10 Sturt
On July 8

Three officials sat in the office
Of Mayor Harry Cain Wednesday
afternoon. One minute they were
the city's sinking fund board. The
next minute they were the board Of
contracts and awards.
Between these two Jekyll and
Hyde functions. they wound up the
business Of awarding the contract
for the resurfacing of Broadway
and St Helens ave. after having
decided just how they were going
TO do IL financially.
Since the council already had
made up the city's official mind on
who was to get the contract and
what type Of material would be
used and when the work would
start, there was little for the board
of contracts and awards to do
except to confirm the details and
the mechanics of the details.
Cost of SS9,195
Award was made to Woodwork
& Cornell and Paine-Gallucci. Inc.
Tacoma contractors bidding joint
ly, on their cash price of $50. 1850,
for laying of the asphaltic con-
crete surface. The board directed
the contract to include extension
of starting and finishing dates from
those fixed in the original speci-
fications, since Broadway mer-
chants asked that no work be
started until after the Narrows
bridge and McChord field celebra-
tons are completed the first week
in July.
Specifications called for starting
work June 3 and completing it
Aug. 81; the contract will direct
that work begin July and end
Oct. 5.
Here's why the two boards met
concurrently: The Broadway-St.
H lens ave. paving project involves
a local improvement district and
while many property owners will
pay cash for their share, other own
ers won't be able to pay cash right
away, so that issuance of bonds will
be necessary. Possibly out of ap-
$4,000 to be charged
against property owners, it will be
necessary to issue $4,000 or more
in interest bearing bonds.
Receive Two Bids
To pay a contractor all cash,
the bonds so issued would have to
be sold first by the city,-and that
is the sinking fund boards job.
They received two bids Wednes-
day for whatever bonds may be
issued. Archie McLeans bid of
S101.77 (above par) for the five
per cent callable bonds was &C
cepted as the best bid and Mclean
BY this deal, the city
expects to save the district more
than the difference between the
cash price of $50, 1850
and his cash and bond price of
SIS. 1880, a difference of only
1888.

Good Taste
Today
By EMILY POST

As rule, one does not write
note of thanks after having dined
with some one. On the othe hand,
a situation can very well occur
which proves the exception to this
rule. Such situation is described
as follows: Not long ago my hus-
band and I were entertained at
dinner at the house of business
friend and his wife. The husband
knew we were in town and he
asked us to dinner. His wife was
lovely to us and we had one of the
very pleasantest evenings we've
ever spent. Now that we've COM
pleted the trip and are home again,
l feel that perhaps we ought to
make some further gesture to
show both these people our appre-
citation. Would note be proper
and If so, wouldn't it be better that
my husband write it to the other
husband ?"
In answer to this, since you dined
at their house, where the wife was
hostess. note to her from you
would be more gracious. Had he
invited you to 20 out with them to
restaurant, then in that case l
think your husband might write
the note to him.

A Young Woman on a
Cruise Alone

Dear Mrs. Post: l am only
twenty but have been working in
an office for the past few years.
l would like TO take a cruise for
my first real vacation. This would
be for two weeks, and mother
thinks it is wrong for a young wo-
man of my age to go alone like
this. / can't find any other friend
who can get away the same two
weeks, and I feel sure there will
be others taking their vacations
alone. At least I've gotten mother
to the point of agreeing to let me
do whatever you think.
Answer: There is nothing I'M
usual about young woman-a
young business woman especially
going alone on personally con-
Quoted" cruise, and since you GER
tainly sound like self-reliant
young woman. l am taking it for
granted that you are going TO be
perfectly well behaved and your
own best chaperon. As a matter
OF fact, most OF the steamship
lines provide cruise hostesses
whose particular duty is TO look
after just such young people, TO see
that they meet other young people
on board. and that they have a
chance to join these others in
whatever smusements are pro-
