Parallels Growth Of
Birthday Balls
Number of Deaths Drops
Markedly in Rotio
To Cases Reported

The people who dance tonight at
the Presidents Birthday Balls are
actually helping others to walk,
statistics of the United States Pub
lie Health Service demonstrate.
Profits from the dances and other
celebrations honoring Mr.. Roose-
velt's 59th birthday anniversary help
finance the fight against infantile
paralysis.
Polio" cases reported to the
Health Service dropped from a high
of 1870 in 1881, shortly before
the annual birthday balls were
started. to 1,705 in 1893. Although
the number of cases increased from
the 1888 low to 7,343 in 1899 and
9,769 in 1910, at the same time the
number of deaths declined markedly
in ratio to cases reported. A pro-
portionate decline was noted in the
number of days of illness in the
patients under treatment.
Care of Patients Is Better.
Federal Security Administrator
McNutt said today "the most hope
full story on infantile paralysis is
that We now know how to take care
of its victims so the tragic effects
of the disease can be lessened and
the crippled restored to normal
life"
The National Foundation for
1nfantile Paralysis. which directs re-
search and treatment with funds
raised at the birthday balls, is
making it possible for this care to
reach thousands of poliomyelitis
sufferers in all parts of the coun-
try" Mr.. McNutt declared.
Researchers Hard at Work.
Research workers are striving at
present to isolate the virus which
causes the malady, to determine the
way it is transmitted, and to dis
cover means of preventing the dis
ease or treating it quickly after it
is acquired.
During the past year, Mr.. McNutt
said, new reservoirs Of the infection
have been discovered, and new
methods of prevention have been
tried.
Though We cannot now answer
all the questions about poliomyeG-
It's" he said, I'VE are confident that
the advances made year by year,
both In our knowledge of the disease
and in our ability to offset its sad
results. will finally place infantile
paralysis among the conquered

$500. All was now ready. / had
to leave my English chauffeur be-

age and the French would not allow
him to leave the country.
Placing control of my estate in
the hands of a French friend, my
wife, who is year younger than
myself, and I and maid servant
set out on the first stage of our
journey.
"Our destination was Narbonne
on the Spanish frontier. When I
was writing my books I had placed
my characters in difficult predica-
mentS, but this journey was worse
than any had written about. The
train was an old, ramshackle affair
of wornout carriages practically
falling to pieces. The wheels we're
rusty and on our long journey across
France expected the whole affair
to collapse at any moment. The
seats were hard, and a cold bitter
wind blew in through the gaping
cracks in the woodwork.
Thus, almost frozen, we PRAYED
for the end of the journey as the
train shrieked and groaned on its
way.
I'VE arrived in Narbonne in pitch
black darkness. Cold and stiff from
the journey, we were unable to find
a taxicab or any other vehicle
So, picking up our luggage, We
stumbled wearily through the cob

but there was no fire. We found

doubtedly we would have beer

The Spanish officials were surly
and unfriendly, and none of then
spoke French. There were endless
delays while we waited until g

we felt better on leaving that night

What about spies?" I asked him

He chuckled. "Why, my great diff

They asked me what those papers

Mr.. Oppenheim spoke sadly of his
lovely estate in Guernsey, Channel
Islands, where he had a mag

with inscriptions by their authors.

BOURNEMOUTH, England, Jan
80 CNA.N.A.D Cby Wireless) The
only thing that stood between E
Phillips Oppenheim, famous nov
elist, and detention in the south
of France for the duration of the
war was a handful of American
greenbacks. The tradition that the
British pound will take you unques-

way, it is dead temporarily.
The story the 74-year- writer
told me before blazing fire of oak

where he arrived recently after a
journey by flying boat from Lisbon
was a nightmare life"
II am very tired" he said. Broad
shouldered and a little stopped, Mr.
Oppenheim's eyes still had the
twinkle of youth in them as he
recounted his adventurous journey
across France, Spain and Portugal
followed by the long, hazardous
flight from Lisbon to England.
After the fall of France" he
said, everything was altered and
life became a horrible nightmare
Whether it was because of my repu-
tation as writer of stories baseo
on the activities of international
spies I don't know, but the French
regarded me with deep suspicion
