Several times recently the writer of
"Down the Spillway, in the Baltimore
Sun editorial page), has commented
upon Garrett county, as the result of
conversations with Rev. Felix G. Rob-
inson, of Oakland.
He outlined Rev. Robinson's concern
as the complicated business of reviv-
ing the old-fashioned chautauqua up
here The writer confessed that the
town of Oakland interested him more
than most and it worried him because
Oakland and all of Garrett county
was so little known by the people of
Baltimore, due perhaps to the reason
it was on the other side Of the Allie
gheny divide and hence, geographic
cally part of the vast Mississippi
Valley.
Upon another occasion he was told
by Rev. Robinson that the people of
the rest of the state were cheating
themselves by not making better use
of the resources of Garrett as Won

When Paralysis Occurs

Early diagnosis q necessary tc
protect other children and to give
the doctor Q chance to forestall
the paralysis. There seems 70 be
no connection between the sever
fty Of the attack and the occur
renee .of paralysis. A very mild
case may develop severe paralysis
and severe case may escape.
sometimes paralysis Is the first
definite sign Of the disease. Paral-
yStS may appear on the drst day
Or b delayed for q week or ten
days. All the muscles Of q limb
are not affected, only some Of
them. This partly accounts for de-
formally. The unaffected muscles
pull on the weak ones and draw
tho limb out Of position. The mus.
cJog @ the fore part Of the foot.
the ~ maacles Of tho calf Of the
IT, and Ct the shoulder are most
frequently affected.
0ne or both legs or arms may be
pafAlySed. The most important
and most dangerous muscles to be
affected are those Of the chest and
st0eo which control respiration.
Paralysis Of these muscles are the
chief cause Of deaths. Examination
Of the spinal fluid normally shows
10 calls 70 the cubic millimeter. In
infantile paralysis the number Is
increased to 20 cells or as many as
Z thousand or more.
Withdrawal Of some Of the
spinal duid not only enables us to
make . positive diagnosis, but It
acts - . remedial measure. II the
pressure II high, this reduces It
and gives relief from headache
and general pains. An early dag
nosis enables us to protect others

This should be very strict, particu-
larry from other children.

Fashions For Men

THIS Is about the time when men
start wearing sun glasses. From
a purely medical item. this has be-
come somewhat Of . fashion topic
However. when We went into the
thing with the American Optical
Company. we found that you cant
talk about 1t without becoming
somewhat medical.
Sun glasses are divided into three
types-tinted, like Crookes glass;
absorptive, like those made Of calo-
bar glass; and those that eliminate
glare, as the polaroid lens. The first
does cut out some infra.red and
ultraviolet and permits u TO gaze
about in bright light with comfort.
The second, while often much light.
er In shade eliminates much Of the
ultraviolet and infra.red (Which
causes the redness Of the uds). The
last Is used on water and for SHIN

Treatment Unsatisfactory

Treatment has not been very
successful. It has been argued that
the disease travels I'D the nerve
sheatheS In the nose to the brain
. and spinal cord I've shall consider
this belief later. Spraying the
upper nose with antiseptic solu-
lions has not been as successful as
hoped, but should be used In the
nostrils Of Ill exposed persons.
The patient should be made as
comfortable rs possible and severe
pain controlled by drugs II neces-
Sary. Rather frequent withdrawal
of spinal fluid relieves the syrnp-
toms and intense pain. The injec-
ton Of the blood serum from pa
tients who have recovered from
the disease has been used with
some succeSs and is probably the
best known treatment.
When paralysis occurs. splints,
pillows, sand bags. and all other
Efforts to control deformity should
be tried. Massage and use Of the
limbs should not be attempted as
long - any pain remains. Then
massage and gentle movement
under water are helpful. Recently
preventive treatment by the oral
administration Of azosulfamide has
offered indication Of some success.
We must try everything.

Her Mannequins
Look Almost

BY TALBOT LAKE

THE mannequins. or dummies, In
4 store windows have heretofore
meant little to men. but that was
before Mary Brosnan started to
make them into alluring replicas Of
the real thing.
Miss Brosnan explained all:
Every man thinks they are awful,
but every woman on seeing q man
nequin In q store window, says to
herself, Gosh I wish I looked like
that" And there you have It.
Miss Brosnan says OF the 1871
manneQuins:
1.-THE mannequins women like
this year are slim but shapely. they
have q race horse quality, q long
legged look. They're not skinny, but
they are quite thin and athletic.
And their color Is a deep sun tan"
Both Miss Brosnan. who does the
executive work. and Miss Kay Sui
livan. her partner. who does the
sculpting. have tried to create man
nequins that will At the individual
tastes Of the various sections Of the
country. In other words. an ideal
woman In Vermont doesn't appear
like one In Texas. Mary and Kay
will make you any dummy accord
ing to your specifications, and not
too extensively at that.
The mannequin magnate got her

timer in this business. which is run
largely by women. though the Gus

HOW TO SERVE FISH
Small fish weighing from "a to
la pounds each may be served
whole or split into halves. In buy
ing steaks or solid fish, figure
about three portions to the pound.
or five portions to the pound If
Dreaded. Allow "a pound per por-
ton II fish Is bought In the round
with bones, head and tall. In
selecting fish, look for smooth,
moist skin, Arm flesh, fresh odor,
full bright eyes and gills and firm
ans and tail.
Fish should be served In such a
way as to make an appetizing COL
orful dish and provide the right
flavor contrasts. As most kinds of
fish are light In color and mild in
taste, contrast may be obtained by
serving crisp. flavorful vegetables,
bright In color, such as beets, red
cabbage. tomatoes. cucumbers and
pickles. Acid flavors make q good
combination with fish and for this
reason lemon Is frequently used.

the fish are fine and cooking at its
best. many homemakers fry their
seafoods in delicious American
salad oil. Other cooks may take a
hint from this, but should use
