to 90 for a priority, so she called
the Once of War Information.
The girl who answered hastily
turned her over to another girl.
She repeated her request. The Sec
ond girl transferred her to a man
who referred her to an official of
the War Production Board.
You don't need a priority for
that, said the WPB official, You
can get the wood without priority
The housewife protested that the
lumberman said she couldn't, but
the WPB official brushed that aside.
Lumbermen, he said, can sell up to
5000 feet of wood month without
a priority.
She called back the lumberman.
If she had a leaky roof or broken
steps or an emergency like that,
said the lumberman, quoting an
order, she could get the lumber
without priority. Clothespins
weren't mentioned in the order.
Undaunted, the housewife called
the WPB official again. Well, if she
insisted on getting a priority, he
would just refer her to a man who
could give her one.

"Of course, you can't get . pri-
ority for that" said the next Of
fetal. Why don't you 60 to some
construction Job and ask them to

The house explained that
clothespins had to have a certain
resiliency-just any wood wouldn't
do. She reminded him that the
other WPB official had said he
could help her. Never heard of
him. said ofiicial No. 2.
+ The housewives Illustration came
to the attention of The Star which
promptly made a Survey of the
clothespin situation.
They aren't being made any
more, said the first hardware store
salesman and hung up.
We had some made of plastic
but we ran out and we haven't
been able to get any SINCE" re-
ported second hardware store.
So The Star tried the lumber
dealers. The first out advised that
maple or ash would make q nice
clothespin but we haven't any,"
Lumber must be short If they've
stopped making clothespins. Guess
there won't be any toothpicks
soon," commented a second lumber
man. He agreed that maple could be
carved into clothespins but that's
all frozen"
The third lumberman tried to
be helpful.
You 60 to WPB and make appli-
cation for a priority and present 1t
to your lumber dealer and maybe
he can get you some wood, but
youll need a very high priority"
The fourth lumberman advised a
trip to room 1923 in the Municipal
Building, where an application could
be obtained. At room 1923 a clerk
wanted to know whether the wood
was for commercial or residential
purposes. Residential? The re-
porter was referred to the District

Onset Of Polio Linked
By Tests 10 Loss Of
Body's Salt and Water.
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2e.-The
loss of salt and water from the hu-
man system through heat and exer-
ton may make a person more sus-
ceptible to infantile paralysis at
tack, say researchers at the Uni
versity of California Medical School.
Thirty individuals, mostly chill
dren, were tested during the epi-
demic in the Western States last
year. In the early stages, the salt
and water content of their blood
was low. Two weeks later, after the
illness had subsidized, IA of them
remained for further tests, and
nearly all showed sharp increases
in salt and water concentrations.
DR., James F. Rinehart, professor
of pathology, who made the report,
said the evidence was not conclu-
sive but that it, together with other
factors, pointed to a relationship
between salt and water deficiency
and susceptibility to poliomyelitis.
Among other factors he cited
we're reports Of other investigators
that:
Infantile paralysis apparently is
widespread at all times, is carried
by some humans who never contract
the disease and is harbored by flies
and in sewage and other filth.
Despite its continual presence, it
strikes relatively few individuals,
even during epidemics.
The number Of cases rises during
prolonged warm weather, when in
dividuals are more likely to lose
salt and water through perspiration
Robust, active children seem to
contract the disease more readily
than delicate or inactive youngsters
This comedies with the fact that
strenuous work or play in hot
weather causes an abnormal loss of
salt and water.
DR.. Rinehart also agrees with
other investigators that the virus
seems to require a set of favorable
circumstances for its attack and
says the fluid exchanges accom-
panying salt loss may help clear
the way for the disease to estab-
liSh q foothold

87% Of Firms

approximately 81 per cent Of
District business firms violated re-
Quirements of the District Mini

Board during the last year, the
agency revealed yesterday in its
annual report.
Failure to keep proper records of
employees working hours was the
most fragrant violation. Next was
disregard Of the maximum 8-hour
day for women, and third was eva
sion Of minimum wage require
ments. Comparison with previous
years could not be made since this
years report is the boards first
all-inclusive summary.
Most fragrant violators were lo-
tells, restaurants and apartment
houses employing domestic help.
During the year employers paid
restitution in the amount Of $l5,-
92S in overtime and back wages.
Figures showed that 25,949 indus
trial accidents occurred, with So
resultant deaths, compared with
34,186 accidents and 81 deaths in
the previous year. One reason
for the decline was the decrease
In construction work here.
Purpose of the District minimum
wage law Is to safeguard the health
and working conditions of women
and minors employed in private in

tail trade establishments, public
housekeeping occupations, laundry,
dry cleaning and dyeing, beauty
culture operations, offices and man
ufacturing and wholesaling firms.
Relaxation of the S-hour work

out the list entirely because of the
few and far between vacancies.
These lists take up a great deal
OF time because few persons bother
to notify an apartment manager
when they are settled, leaving him
with the chore of checking up and
wedding out the list constantly. In
the interest of fair treatment, how
ever, the average concern observes
the hrst-come, first-served" policy
with desirable tenants by means Of

several apartment houses of the
slips on nearly $50 desirable pro-
spective tenants, but he can hold
out no hope for the majority of
them.
Even in war housing projects
which call for certificates of eligi-
bility from applicants, the waiting
lists run into hundreds. While the
turnover is little greater in this
type of housing, at Naylor Gar
dens, for example, occupancy was
100 per cent in the 720 units last
September, and next month $50 ten

Real estate concerns do MT ne>d

been worked out. Vacclnes so far
have been unsafe and of doubtful
efficacy. Strict isolation of those
afflicted with the disease and quar-
antine of their families can block
at best only a small proportion of
the infection present in a COM
munity.
"The appearance in 1898 of human
disease due to the virus of the
encephalomyelitis Of horses, hav-
ing resemblance to infantile paraly-
sis clinically and as to distribution,
suggests the possibility of the two
diseases having similar modes of
spread, but there Is no definite evil

paralysis by insects. Lacking such
evidence, only the general hygienic
protection Of sick and well against
mosquitoes and other insects Is
justif1able as a preventive measure
against infantile paralysis.
If infantile paralysis becomes

sonable to restrict the intermin-

the disease in the past suggests
that children and those who have
not been exposed to infection in
previous years are more likely to
carry the virus than older people and
metropolitan dwellers. The degree
and method Of restriction should
be determined according to circum-
stances.
There appears to be a distinct
tendency for the paralysis to affect
children who have been recently
under stress. Therefore, during the
epidemics children should be
guarded against unusual exercise
and strain. Perhaps the most Inn
portant and generally applicable
preventive measure against paral-
ysis during an epidemic is for par
