SHOULD RECEIVE
DUE ATTENTION

II you have not been vaccinated a
gainst typhoid fever within the last
two or three years, Dr. r. H. Riley,
Director Of the State Health Depart
ment, advises you to go to your doc
tor or the nearest health officer and
have him give you the three shots
that will protect you against the di-
sease.
This advice is addressed particular
ly to boy scouts, girl scouts and other
youngsters who are looking forward
to spring and summer hikes and trips.
But it is meant also for others, young
or older, whose business or pleasure
takes them to places where there may
be doubt as to the purity or safety of
the water supply or as to the care
with which food is handled
"You take typhoid by way Of the
mouth" DR. Riley explained. 1T is
rarely contracted in any other way.
/ You drink, or eat, the disease-produc-
. ing germs in water, or milk, or in
other foods contaminated by dis
charges from the kidneys and bowels
of persons i'll with typhoid, or from
others, no longer i'll, but who have
had the disease and who continue, at
times, to discharge the germs. Such
| persons are known as carriers
"If these discharges are not care
fully disinfected and carefully dispos-
ed of, the disease producing germs
may seep into the water supply or en-
danger food supplies. There is al
ways the possibility, also, that car
riers' will be careless in their person
al habits and will neglect to wash
have been to the toilet, and will in
their hands thoroughly after they
feet any food they handle.
Public health measures-protec-
ton of public water supplies from
contamination, sanitary disposal of
sewage, pasteurization of milk and
food supplies and of food handling;
skilled medical care and precaution to
prevent the spread of the disease
from an Individual to others, have
done a great deal toward protecting
the public against the disease. But
experience has proved typhoid fever

terested in.
However-and this is the crux
of the matter-We do not want to
make the mistake of imagining that
we can read our readers minds.
We believe we learned something
about the visitors wishes and tastes
the last three years. That will be
enough to start on. But if this
column is to interest and serve you
and that is the only excuse for
its publicatiOn-it will be necessary
for US to get together. Don't leave
me guessing about what interests
or would interest you about New

This Columnist is different. What
he wants to hear from you is stuff

tell us about etc, etc" Or he will
welcome inquiries about anything
in New York. These inquiries will
all receive personal attention and
will be replied to by letter. And you
need not enclose a stamp for reply!
We shall consider it a real help
to us in writing our column. Your
inquiries will be the best indica.

dear reader, is what this column
wants to give its readers.

Bruce MacNamee, Chief, United

ciated with this thought is the en-
couraging realization that travel is

THE three shots that will protect

about New Workers. They are self.
centered. They think what interests
them will interest out of town visi.
tors. Even editors on our great
metropolitan papers seem to be
bitten by the same bug. Their idea
is that since a great bridge or new
highway or tunnel interests New
Workers as improved facilities
naturally do in this tremendously
crowded area - people elsewhere
have the same interest when they
think of New York. And in this
they are woefully mistaken. A very
comprehensive survey made by the
Merchants Association here sustains
this contention.
So with the columnists who write
New York columns, syndicated
throughout the country. Their
chatter is about night clubs and
Broadway personalities; and yet
the visitor survey mentioned above
gave the night clubs a rating of 1.6
percent. Or one person in sixty!
This writer had occasion to get
the reaction of a great many
thousands of visitors in the Fair
in 1889 and 1910; and his expert
ence checks with the Merchants
Association survey. He found that
even the Broadway shows got but
scant attention. One person in
twenty ranked them of prime
interest.
But the fact remains that Ameri-
cans like to visit New York, even
if they don't do the things that
New Workers do when they get
here. Figures issued by the New

BOY is
VICTIM OF BULLET

A detail of soldiers making tour
of vacant properties last week found
a 14-year-old boy who, according to
state police, had fatally shot himself
because of an unrequitted school-day
love.
The youth, Melvin Baker. son of
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Baker, of Collins
vile, near Georgetown, died of
wounds of the head Thursday night
in the Milford Memorial Hospital,
about eight hours after his body was
found He was a ninth grade pupil
at the Georgetown school.
A note, the contents of which po-
lice withheld, told of his futile affec-
ton for schoolmate.
Sergt. Harold L. Waring and Pri-
Yates Edward Yers, James Bell and
Irving Zudeck, making a daily inspec-
tion of empty buildings, saw the body
of the youth protruding from a side
room as they entered a vacant house
about two miles from Georgetown.
The boy was unconscious as they
took him to the office of DR.. G. M.
Valkenburg, who administered treat
ment and then ordered the boy ren1ov-
ed to a hospital.
State police said the boy was last
seen riding his bicycle and carrying
a rifle over his shoulder.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
40-MILE SPEED LAW
IN EFFECT IN VIRGINIA

A rigid 40-mile-an-hour speed linn
ut for all vehicles went into effect
last week throughout Virginia, Gov
ernor Darden announced after confer
ring by telephone with Leon Hen
Gierson, administrator of the Office
of Price Administration in Washing
ton. Highway officers made state
ments warning Shore motorists to
this effect.
The Governor said he would draft
an executive order probably at once
setting the speed limit and warned
that it would be enforced from the
time it became effective. The regu-
Jation will be in line with a request
from President Roosevelt in March
asking for a reduction in speed linn
its to 40 miles an hour. In last
minute amendment to the speed linn
it bill introduced in the General AS
sembly by Delegate E. B. Moore, of
Berryville, the Governor was given
authority to reduce the State limit
10 40 miles if he deemed it necessary.
The Governor said he had consid-
cred leaving the maximum speed for
buses at As miles an hour in order
not to disrupt interstate schedules,
but he said he had concluded that
the additional five miles per hour per
mitted buses would not give enough
additional service to compensate for
the added consumption of rubber.
The Governors telephone CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Henderson resulted
from a call which Mr. Darden made
to Marvin Mcintyre, presidential
secretary, to learn the views of Fed
eral authorities on tire conservation
by means of speed regulations. Mr..
Mcintyre, an old friend of Mr.. Dar-
den, said he would take up the mat
ter with Mr.. Henderson, who called
the Virginia Governor a few minutes
later.
Mr.. Henderson said the 40-mile-an-
hour limit would save gas and rubber
both of which are important wartime
commodities, and expressed the view
that an additional five miles per hour
for buses would not provide sufficient
extra service to compensate for the
faster consumption of rubber.
The price administration official
said that the wear on tires increases
decisively beyond speed of 40 miles
an hour and urged that speed as the
overall limit.
Under the terms of the Moore bill,
the speed of passenger cars and bus
es would have been reduced to 45
miles an hour and the speed to trucks
would have been cut. to 40 miles an
hour effective at midnight Thursday
of last week.

NOTE: This is the first of a series
of columns about New
York, written from the
standpoint of what surveys
have shown the visitor TO
New York is interested in.
When the Worlds Fair was on
during 1899 and 1910 millions of
persons visited New York. But the
surprising fact developed that these
visitors were far more interested
