The opening of schools and

tise will be delayed because Of
an outbreak of infantile paral-
ysis that has stricken 154 per-

These precautions were de-
cided upon unanimously by the

medical opinion that the peak
Of the waves severity had been
passed.
DR.. Donald w. Gudakunst OF
the National Foundation for In

said he based this opinion on
the fact that none of the last
Is cases reported were the bull

The school board decided to
open city and suburban schools
on Sept. 10 instead of Sept. 4
and to delay the start of football

Burbank Among the In

West and Southwest. Mr.. Bur-
bank visited 1873 of them, paint
ed their chiefs, braves, women
and children sometimes it took
quite a bit of inveigling) and
the result is valuable from an
artistic as well as ethnographical
standpoint. The book is pro-
fusely illustrated with his work.
Among the most interesting of
the narratives - perhaps partly
because the principals name is
well known through it's adoption
as the battle cry of the para
troops-is the tale Of Geronimo,
the fabulous warrior chief who
survived scores Of bulle t
wounds, only to be finally cap
tured. Burbank visited him,
won his confidence, and painted
him several times, for price.
Old Geronimo was no fool, fig
ured the artist would profit from
the portraits, and, accordingly
charged him so much per sitting.
Burbank obviously grew fond of
the chief, and his recollections of
Geronimo are as interesting as
his portrait.
