Polio Epidemic Spreads Rapidly
Chicago.—An epidemic of quick
striking, deadly infantile paralysis,
mysterious disease for which science
has evolved a partial cure but not a
preventive, spread northeastward
across the center of the United
States last week.
The United States Health Service
announced the epidemic was a
“mild” one. It reported 621 new
cases in the country last week, and
492 the week before.
Public officials pressed police, par
ents and civic organizations into a
campaign to prevent more serious
developments.
ANOTHER HIGHWAY MENACE
Anew danger to automobile safe
ty, especially on the congested high
ways in the vicinity of the large
cities, is revealed by the American
Automobile Association in an ap
peal to business to refrain voluntari
ly from placing illuminated adver
tising along the rights of way. Un
less such voluntary action brings
results, the association warns, it will
be necessary to seek legislation pro
hibiting these displays.
The association points out that, in
addition to being confusing, this
growing mass of “gaudy, glittering,
flickering, shifting, illuminated ad
vertising signs,” adds to the glare
upon the eye of the driver which is
already a serious problem from on
coming headlights of other cars.
“The human eye can only absorb
so much light,” says the association.
“Too much glare not only distracts,
but impairs the efficiency of the eye
in coping with the difficulties of the
road.
“Thousands of tests of drivers
show conclusively that glare is one
of the principal dangers in night
driving.”
BITS OF FUN
The reporter limped up to the
newspaper editor.
“Well,” growled the editor, “did
you get the interview?”
The newsman pointed to a pair
of black eyes.
The editor banged his desk.
“We can’t print a pair of black
eyes. Where’s the story?”
The reporter lifted his hat and
displayed a huge bump on his head.
“Look,” he repeated.
The editor went wild.
“What good is that?” he howled.
“We can’t print things like that.
Didn’t you get the chap to say a
few words?”
The reporter wiped a bloody nose.
“Sure,” he nodded, “but you
can’t print that either!”
tt t t
Old Lady: “Can’t you cheer your
little brother up and stop his cry
ing?”
Small Boy: “Well, did you ever
try to cheer anybody up that’s just
had five bananas, two hot dogs, and
seven ice cream cones?”—Selected.
THE BEST MEMORY SYSTEM
“Forget each kindness that you do
as soon as you have done it;
“Forget the praise that falls to you
the moment you have won it;
“Forget the slander that you hear
before you can repeat it;
“Forget each slight, each spite, each
sneer, wherever you may meet
it.
“Remember every kindness done to
you whate’er its measure;
“Remember praise by others won
and pass it on with pleasure;
“Remember every promise made and
keep it to the letter;
“Remember those who lend you and
be a grateful debtor.
“Remember all the happiness that
comes your way in living;
“Forget each worry and distress, be
hopeful and forgiving;
“Remember good, remember truth,
remember heaven’s above you,
“And you will find, through age and
youth, that many hearts wlil
love you.”
Director Lamar Murdaugh, of the
State Department of Public Wel
fare, issued the call and pointed out
that applicants should register with
their home county welfare boards.
