Physician Who Is Considsrsd Bast

i Likaly to Occur at Any Place.
I
Authoritative summary of what the
United States has been able to learn
about the cause and transmission of
poliomyelitis (Infantile paralysis) was
given out by the treasury department,
under which the public health service
operates.
This “study" of the disease, publish
ed at this time because of the exten
sive epidemic In New York, has been
prepared by Wade H. Frost, past as
sistant surgeon of the public health
service, who Is considered the best au
thority on the disease In this country
and who has been sent to New York to
take charge of the federal bureau ac
tivities. It represents many years of
personal observation in several epi
demics and an extensive review of all
literature obtainable upon the subject.
It gives the last word, as the federal
health authorities get It. about this dis
ease. A summary on these findings Is
given as follows:
“Reviewing briefly the data and con
siderations which have been discussed,
poliomyelitis Is due to a specific Infec
tive agent, of which the only demon
strated natural sources are Infected
human beings, who may be divided
Into the following groups: The recog
nized sick, convalescents, the sick not
recognizable as poliomyelitis cases and
passive virus carriers apparently In
good health.
“The Infective agent Is known to be
discharged from these sources In the
excretions of the respiratory and di
gestive tracts. It Is known to be fairly
resistant to the destructive agencies
encountered In nature outside of the
human body. Perhaps the most sig
nificant fact In regard to the experi
mental transmission of poliomyelitis to
monkeys Is that they may be Infected
by rubbing the virus on the nasal mu
cous membrane. Infection through
i the digestive tract or through the
i agency of biting Insects has been found
! more difficult and less constant.
“The disease Is In nature of wlde
j spread though rare sporadic or endemic
occurrence. In epidemics It has occur
red In recent years over a large part of
i the world, the outbreak being some
times discreet, at other times spreading
- rapidly but Irregularly over wide areas.
Run a Rapid Course.
“Such epidemics characteristically run
a rather rapid course in a given com
munity, declining after a few months
or less after having attacked so fur ijs
is evident only a small proportion of
i the total Inhabitants, usually not more
than oue In a thousand, and do not re
cur In the same locality for a period of
at least two years. In epidemic foil
children under five are attacked much
more often than are older persons, the
whole adult population remaining vir
tually immune In some epidemics.
“The rapid spread of epidemics over
wide areas, their spontaneous decline
after only a small proportion of the In
habitants have been attacked and above
all the preponderating incidence In
young children have not been satisfac
torily explained by any hypothesis oth
er than that the infective agent during
epidemics is widespread, reaching a
large proportion of the population, but
only occasionally finding a susceptible
Individual, usually a young person. In
whom It produces characteristic mor
bid effects. Assuming this rare suscep
tibility, the well established facts col
lected by epidemiologic studies are com
patible with the evidence of laboratory
experiments that the disease Is directly
transmissible from person to person.
“As to what constitutes susceptibility
or the converse— immunity—practically
nothing can be deduced except that age
is obviously a factor of Importance,
susceptibility being generally greatest
In the first half decade of life, there
after progressively diminishing until in
adult life there Is a very general Im
munity to natural infection. The rea
son for this Is at present a matter of
speculation. Conceivably the greater
Immunity of adults may be due to a
nonspecific resistance, developing nat
urally with maturity without reference
to previous exposure to or Infection
with the specific virus of |)ol!omyelltis.
On the other hand, there are certain
facts which suggest that the very gen
eral Immunity of adults may be s|»e
eifle. acquired from previous unrecog
nized Infection.”

MAY PADDLE FROM
ST. LOUIS TO GULF
Richard Nussek, fifty-seven years old,
wants to prove to the world that It’s
possible to swim the Mississippi river
from St. Louis to New Orleans. He
has hurled a challenge at all natators
from eighteen years of age up.
All Nussek asks is that he be per
mitted to wear gloves and shoes of
special construction while in the wa
ter. He claims he can make one stroke
do as much work as fifteen by other
contestants if he Is allowed to use his
Improvised devices.
The gloves, which are pulled over the
hands and then buckled on. are equip
ped with a paddlelike covering, guar
anteed to do the work of a strong oar
or paddle. The shoes are huge crea
tions and resemble those worn by slap
stick and knock about comedians on
the variety stage.
Nussek wants to compete In the an
nual Mississippi river Marathon swim
to be staged by the Missouri Athletic
club and if successful In this event
will start immediately on his voyage
to New Orleans.
PULLING FOR HIS BROTHER.
Harry Coveleaki Unconsciously Root
ing For Stanley to Win.
If there Is any one person who la
pulling with might and main for Stan
ley Coveleskie to make good as a
Cleveland Indian It is Brother Harry,
the star southpaw of the Detroit
Tigers.
Harry was sitting on the bench when
Brother Stan was mowing down the
Tigers In a recent moist conflict. It
was in the fourth Inning, and Cobb
was on first, with none out and Bobby
Veaeh at bat.
“Atta boy, Stan, atta boy. Guess
that brother of mine hasn't got some
thing!" he yelled as Veaeh fouled lo
Turner.
"That's it, Stan. You’ve got his num
ber," he muttered as Sam Crawford
hit a roller to Howard, forcing Cobb at
second.
"Say, Harry, If you are going to root
for Cleveland go over on the Cleve
land bench!’’ shouted Oscar Vltt.
Brother Harry was dazed for a min
ute. He had forgotten Brother Stan
was pitching against his own team.
“Say, fellows, I clean forgot,” he
said sheepishly, and then he yelled as
Heilman went to bat: “Hit It outa th’
lot, Harry. That busher ain't got a
thing but a prayer!”
“it sure was funny," said Trainer
Harry Tuthill in relating the Incident
recently.
Speaking of Stan Coveleskie. an ex
pert recently called Brother Harry
down for not tipping Jennings off to
the fact that Brother Stan would be a
good man for Detroit.
THE $1,000 GOLF MATCH.

The famous $1,000 golf match be

one side and Waller Hagen nnd Mike
Brady on the other, home breds versus
Scotchmen, is still to be played, and
thereby hangs a tale. When Brady

for Smith and Nlcholts by' a narrow
margin. There was much tnlk about
the putting up of the $1,000 and none i
at all about taking It down on account '
of the abseuce of Brady.
After the Great Neck victory the sec- I
oud match was scheduled for Wykagyl,
the home course of Alec Smith, and
Xicholls appeared on the scene with a
wonderful creation In the way of a
brilliant check golfing suit. Gazing at
the reaplendeut metropolitan open
champion as he stood on the first tee
at Wykagyl, an awed youngster pluck
ed his father by the coat and inquired
aoftly, “Father. Is that what Mr. Ntch
olls bought with his $1,000?"
