Lack of refrigeration is a basic
cause of food poisoning in the United
States. Assistant Surgeon 0en NaNs

gastroenteritis, diarrhea and typhoid
fever most frequently are caused by
contaminated food served at group
gatherings with makeshift refrigera-
ton.

neering for the Public Health Serv-
ice, said . newly completed survey
shows there were 299 outbreaks of
diseases from contaminated food In
1916. They killed II persons and
made 12,509 Ill.
In addition, he said, 81 disease
outbreaks were traced to contami-
mated water and 10 to milk.
I'm 1912 there were So water
borne outbreaks, As milk bourne and
245 food borne" he said.

u. :. Records Detail
2-Power Differences
On HaIting Japs in 81
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

The State Department yesterday
detailed in two volumes of official
records how Japan won Manchuria
in 1882 largely because the other
powers were unable to agree on ef-
fective means of halting the march
of conquest.
Included were records Of repeated
talks by transatlantic telephone
among Henry L. Stimson, then Sec
retary of State, British Prime Min
lister Macdonald and Sir John
Simon. foreign secretary.
All agreed q firm stand and a
united front were necessary to cope
with campaign of aggression
which was a prelude to World War
II. But the State Department
noted that the record shows no
proposal in 1882 for the invocation
of economic or military sanctions
to halt the Japanese.
Papers Cover 1882 Alone.
The documents, part of a series of
state papers dealing with past
events, cover 1882 alone and deal
almost entirely with the crisis re-
sulting from the japanese invasion
of Manchuria which was launched
in September of the preceding year.

Paralysis Funds
Being Depleted by
Heavy Demands

A plea for surplus funds from
chapters of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, Inc, has gone
out from the New York headquarters
as the result of a serious crisis facing
the foundation from major outbreaks
of infantile paralysis this summer
and the steadily mounting costs of
patient care. A letter was received
the past week by DR.. E. l. Baum
gartner, county chairman.
From a compilation of epidemic
expenditures it appears that 1913
may be nearly as great an epidemic
year as 1916, and an appeal to the
public for special funds prior to the
1916 March of Dimes is being held up
until the foundation has utilized all
available funds in the hands of the
various chapters.
In the case of the Garrett COUNT
chapter, there have been no surplus
local funds on hand, due to the eX
pense of two infantile paralysis pa
tients from this county now in Balti
more hospitals. A report from tie
treasurer of the county chapter shows
receipts of $1,360 on June IL, 1913,
and another check on September 2, of
$945, from the National Foundation
to help in taking care of expenses of
local patients. This leaves only a
balance of $479, with monthly eX-
penses running over $500.
1t was reported that the illness OF
two children in the Mill Run section
was diagnosed as infantile paralysis
after their return to their home in
Pennsylvania with their parents a
few weeks ago. Thus far there have
been no new cases among county resi-
dents.

Magistrates Decision
Favors Defendant

Magistrate H. A. Loraditch, in an
ejectment proceeding case heard in
his office on September ID, rendered
a decision this week in favor of Z.
R. Fike, tenant, against Stuart F.
Hamill.
The latter was seeking use of his
property on High street, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. E. R. Fike and family
for the past thirteen years. Mr.. Lora-
ditch ruled that Mr.. and Mrs. Fike
would be permitted to remain in their
present tenancy until October 81, so
as to give all tenants time to be in
their respective homes by November
l. The house to be vacated is to be
occupied by Mr.. Hamill, and also by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Briner. The
Briner house will be occupied by Dr.
and Mrs. Thomas Lusby, recently pur-
chased by them.
Mr.. Loraditch declared that should
the new Fike home on Oak street,
lo" III CouI oe VI CoIloIl uCIloll, ue
completed before the time set forth,
that the defendants shall vacate the
building at an earlier date.
1t was testified that the tenants
had reason to believe that they could
continue to live in the Hamill resi-
dence until May of 1919, and that the
notice to move placed Mr.. Fike in an
embarrassing position.

1,252 County Residents
Registered for Draft

A total of 1852 county residents
registered for the draft, as of yester-
day, it was announced by Mrs. Susie
Butt, clerk of the local draft board
There were 1901 persons registered

Work To Resume On
Savage River Dam

Plans and specifications for COM
pletion of excavation and embank-
ments of the Savage River Dam are
now being prepared by Army Engi-
neers, and~it is anticipated they will
be advertised for bids during the
last week in October, according to
Rep. ]. Glenn Beall congressman
from this district.
Through Congressman BealPs eff
forts the Savage River Dam project
was included in an overall flood con-
troll plan which Congress approved
and the President signed.
The project carries an initial ap-
preparation for the year 1948-49 of
100000 which will take care of the
next phase of construction.
Started as WPA Job
The Dam started as WPA job a
number of years ago to provide en-
ployment and regulate the flow of
the Potomac River for industrial pur-
poses, was abandoned with the out
break of the war.
At close of hostilities Rep. Beall,
and other officials of Allegany county
began campaign to have the dam
completed. Surveys were instituted
through Army Engineers so that the
plan could be revamped as a flood
control project for Westernport and
Luke.
The location of the dam is in Gar
rett county and will hold back the
waters of the Savage River and its
tributaries, assuring a considerable
amount of flood protection for West
ernport, Luke and also Cumberland.
When completed the area will have
a $6,000,000 dam.
