PREVENTION OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
To control the present epideiplc ol infantile paralysis, according to a statement issued by the United SUtes Public Health Service to-day, the chain of infection between per¬ sons harboring germs ot the disease and the well member; of the com¬ munity should be broken. Infantile paralysis is probably caused by a very minute organism found In the nasal, mouth and bowel discharges of those who have the disease or who are carriers of the germ without themselves suffering from the ail¬ ment. All of the steps In the spread of the Infection are not known but if this germ can be prevented from passing from the Infected to the well person, the disease will cease.
Infantile paralysis is not a dls- ese of recent origin. Sporadic or scattered cases have occurred througout the country for many years but It Is only during the last decade that the Infection has assum¬ ed epidemic proportions In the Unit¬ ed States. The present epidemic in New York City, on accaunt of its magnitude and virulence, has awak¬ ened the residents of many commun¬ ities to tho danger of the Importa¬ tion of the disease Into their own midst, Tbls danger is real, but if due preparations are exercised it Is believed that the epidemic ^11 sub¬ side. , . The actual control of the present epidemic must be left to the city, State and Federal healtb authorities. These organizations will properly quarantine nnd care for affected per¬ sons, prescribe sanitary measures and limit as may be necessary the travel of Individuals In order to pro¬ tect neighboring districts from the Infection. Individuals and commun¬ ities, however, can do much toward their own protection.
Poliomyelitis. 1b probably spread di¬ rectly or Indirectly, through the med¬ ium of Infective secretions. Account must therefore be taken by commun¬ ities of eveiy means by which such secretions aie disseminatert. Promis¬ cuous expectoration should be con¬ trolled. The common drinking cup affords a method for the interchange of material cf this nature and should therefore be abolished., Rigid clean¬ liness of glasses and utensils at soda fountains. In saloons and other pub¬ lic places .should be enforced. Flies, roaches and other vermin, by coming In, contact with Infective secretions, may possibly convoy thera to our food* and '.bus directly bring about the acvelopment of disease. There¬ fore eliminate Insects. Street and house dust bear a deflnitp relation to the spread of many Infections and It is not unreasonable to presume that they may be a factor In the dlspeml- natlon of Infantile paralysis. Main¬ tain strict cleanliness of streets, yards and alleys In order to prevent the breeding Insects and other ver¬ min. See that all garbage and waste are properly cared for and collected fat regular and frequent Intervals. Ouard all food supplies, especially milk and other perishable produces. Digestive troubles of children aris¬ ing from the Ingestion of food of questionable quality may lower re¬ sistance. Assemblies of children In infected localities are to be discour¬ aged, if not actually forbidden. While the above measures are in a sense general, and applicable to many epi¬ demic diseases, their Importance should not be overlooked.
I^dtvidaal preventive measures may be thus summarled:
Summon a physician at once and Immediately notify the health offlcer of the-presonce of the disease. If the disease Is present tn the community, medical aid should be sought when¬ ever a child Is sick no matter how light the illness; many cases of In¬ fantile paralysis begin with a slight Indisposition. Should the Illness prove to be infantile paralysis Iso¬ late the patient, i^ce a competent perOon in charge, and reduee all coAmunlcatlon with the sick room to R liilnlmum. Hllltoltal care is *re- ferkble, not only for the child but in order to betteV safeguard against the spiWd of the disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and screen¬ ed.!

ANOTHEB TBANSPOBTATION PBOBLEM.
The Great South Bay Perry Com¬ pany has a sign on its boats reading as follows: "Passengers leaving boat before securely fastened do so at their own risk."
We, of course, do not know how passengers who are securely fasten¬ ed can leave the boat. We Judge from the notice, however, that they must be securely factened before they can get ashore. Just why the company Insists on their being fast¬ ened before assuming any risk Is somewhat puzzling.
Now, In cuse a passenger objected to being securely fastened and Insist¬ ed on remaining loose, would the company call on the deck hands to fasten him before permitting him to land? And when securely fastened, how could the passenger leave the boat without being carried?
We would like to study this inter¬ esting problem further, but tbe weather is too hot, so we shall pass It up to the P. S. C.
ests. There has been quite a few narrow escapes at the comer of Orand Avenueand Newbridge Road, owing to tha height of the brush.

No. 7 OF A SERIES IN WHICH ALICE INTER¬ VIEWS THE WIRE CHIEF.
EVERLASTINGLY looking {ortrouble" was the coaiment someone Kad made in telling Alice about the Wire Chief; so when Alice entered the big room filled with myste¬ rious looking apparatus she was just a little bit uneasy.^ But a great, broad smile {rom tl^ Wire Chief himself, in a far comer oi the room, dispelled all misgiving and she listened atten¬ tively while he spoke.
"This branch of the tele- phone business,' the Wir« Qief told Alice, "is entirely different (rom what you saw in the tdephone exchange, for whereas it u the opera¬ tor's duty to supply

seryice, it is tbe Wire Chief s duty to see that the telephone wires are in such order that it is possible to supply serv¬ ice. Every telephone line in his district rui>s through tbe Wire Chief s room and it is up to him to see that it is in good working order.
"Every night, for in¬ stance, when you are tucked in your bed and sound asleep, the Wire Chief tests your tele¬ phone line and every other line in his district. He's a very peaceful sort of man, yet he s al¬ ways looking for trouble ' —that is, telephone trouble. He wants to find out what ails your line before ytM find it out and before it causes you any delays. Your telephone might be out of order and be repaired before you knew it.'-'
Alice thought it was a good plan to look for and eliminate trouble before troaole bad a chance to trouble others.
