ed that none of the toys sent to the

by local or State health authori-
ties.
Increased attention should be
called to the hygiene in the home
Food should be prepared and
handled in a manner to prevent
contamination by flies, other in
sects and from all other sources
of human excreta. Homes should
be screened against flies, since in
certain instances flies have been
known to carry the virus of in
fantile paralysis.
During outbreaks of infantile
paralysis children should be kept
from indulging in exercise that
will produce exhaustion or an un-
due amount of fatigue, since this
has been shown in many instances
to be a contributing factor in the
development of a more serious
form of the disease"
Removal of tonsils and ade-
noids during an epidemic or dur
ing the infantile paralysis season
is contaminated and should be
discouraged in all but exceptional
cases.
"Since as yet there is no vac
cine or serum that will prevent
infantile paralysis, full co-opera-
ton in carrying out these recon-
mendations offers the best pro-
lection for every one :"
Of the eight States represented

Old Chestnut Wood Needed

The blight which was fatal to many
chestnut trees in this section, has left much
dead wood on the hands of the farmers
Some of this has been put to use, but
much of it is still left. Attention is called
to the fact that this dead wood, if sound, is
needed for tanning materials in the manu-
facture of shoes Thus, farmers not only
have an opportunity to rid their farms OF
this dead wood but to receive substantial
income from it and to help in the war eff
fort; because much of the leather being
tanned is going into shoes for the men in
the armed forces.
Before the war, much of the supply of
tanning materials came from the East In
dies and the Philippines, but with those
sources cut off from us, tan bark and chest
nut wood are more badly needed than ever.
Farmers should avail themselves of the
opportunity of selling any disable dead
chestnut wood.

Chester Kerr, executive direc-
tor, who was present, explained
the quotas.
Quotas this year in the various
counties of the State have either
been slightly increased or de-
creased according to the economic
abilities and the willingness of
the counties to give" he said. He
gave a long list of civilizations
which were used in determining
the quotas of each county, and
said that in no event was the quo
ia raised this year because coun-
ty surpassed its quota last year.
These quotas range anywhere
from one cent to % cents per 500
income of the county.
Opening dates tor the cam
paigns were left up to the indi-
.vidual counties, and will prob
ably be sometime around October
9, which is the opening of the ma
tional campaign.

Robots Not New To u. S.

While much has been said about the
"secret" weapon of the Germans, the ro-
bot planes these are no secret to the United
States. Neither are they new, according to
information released from National Inven-
tors Council At least two Americans in
vented self-propelled aerial torpedoes SIM
liar to the German robot planes In fact
the specifications for one of the planes in
vented bv Americans indicate that it has
some qualities which make it superior to
the German weapon.
Lawrence Burt Sperry of the Sperry
Gyroscope company filed application for
torpedo of the airplane type on April Ii,
1918. Mr. Sperry's flying torpedo utilized
the principle of gyroscope stabilization
The other inventor, now chairman of
the National Inventors Council, was DR..
Charles F. Kettering, of the General Mo-

three-story tanks are used to hold the

delicate and perishable. The biggest prob
lem was to concentrate great quantities of
the drug so that it could be kept in little
walls to be shipped all over the world. This
was done by freezing the drug, and drying
off the ice.

MOR RAINFALL
WILL BE NEEDED

The March l range and live
stock report of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics indicat-
es that more precipitation will
be needed if Montana ranges
are to be in good condition this
spring.
Ranges were mostly open dur
ing February except in south
eastern Montana, where crust
ed snow required considerable
hay feeding of both sheep and
cattle.
Despite their extensive use,
ranges have maintained better
than average conditions. How
ever, they declined in February,
when the effects of continued
dry weather were felt in short
age of range stock water and
reduced feed. February snow
fall did not adequately relieve
fall and winter drought, and
continued timely moisture will
be necessary for a normal spring
growth of new feed, it was
stated.

Ten clinics will be held throu-
ghout the state. Specially quail
fled medical and nursing per
sonnet will be in attendance. II

ector of the Crippled Children's
division, personally directs the
clinics and examines the pat
tents to determine the general
condition and detect any organ
ic defects, in addition to the

age suffering from a Gripping
condition is eligible for examin-
alton, but only those who are in
economic distress are eligible
for hospital care. Persons at
tending for the first time should
be referred by their family ply
sicians, who should report their
findings Of the physical exam
nations to the orthopediSt IN

Some patients need only sup
ervision and direction by the
orthopedic nurses, who work un>
der the direction of the ortho-
pedist and give supervision in
exercises and treatment. Public
Health nurses will be in charge
of the clinics. Appointments for
examinations at the clinic
should be made previously with
