JOUBTS WAVE OF PARALYSIS WILLHITHERE Only One Case cf Infant I Disease Reported in City in 60 Days, SWEEP IS WORLD-WIDE No Certain Method Is Known for Prevention or Cure, Physicians Say. General outbreak of infantile paralysis here is a fairly remote possibility, but children should not be permitted to travel any more than Is necessary, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city board of health secretary, declared today. The present wave of infantile paralysis is world-wide in scope, as Is usual, and has been particularly severe in Ohio and other neighboring States, but only one case has | been reported here in sixty days, I Morgan said. ■ Infantile paralysis, according to ■the doctor, first was described in ■IB4O. The next outbreak occurred ■to 1905-6, originating in Sweden. Appears in Summer W The disease usually makes it appearance in the late summer and early fall and is most likely to attack persons from infant age to 10 years old. “The’ public’s fear of the disease Is not without basic foundation, because medical science has not discovered a certain method of prevention or cure,” Morgan said. “The disease is due to virus that attacks the central nervous system. First symptoms of its appearance are a general depression and malaise, with a tendency to protect the body and shun physical activity. "Often a stiff neck and spine accompanies the first stage of the disease and paralysis develops within two or three days, the legs being affected more frequently than the arms.” “In severe cases, early death results from paralysis of the respiratory centers.” Many Throw Off Attacks ( Unquestionably In many mild cases, "abortive” type cases, there are no symptoms of paralysis, the disease having only gastro-intestinal symptoms, he said. Some authorities think that infantile paralysis is as prevalent as measles, many children having "abortive” attacks which' they have tlje natural vitality to throw off. The best way to protect children from the disease, he said, is to isolate them from any one who might Inossibly have come in contact with ■he disease or be suspected as a car-

Eighth Grade Pupil Hero of Near Tragedy on Virginia Ave. BY ELDORA FIELD An auto was coming down Virginia Ave. at high speed late Thursday afternoon. Schol children were here and there on the street, but the driver did not slow up, even at congested corners. A boy with his arms full of groceries came out of a-store at Virginia Ave. near Woodlawn. He was Leonard Spyder. 13, of 1007 E. Morris St., and is an eighth grade pupil at St. Patrick’s s:hoel. Kis eye caught the speeding auto half a square away. Then his eye caught something else—a little blue-clad figure, racing from the sidewalk aftera rubber ball, right into the path of that speeding auto. There was a clatter of groceries falling from Leonards arms. He hurled himself forward, arms outstretched and a moment later he and the small boy and the rubber ball were mixed together in the dirt of the street, and the car, missing them by only inches.

RULES AGAINST UNION MINERS Judge Holds Coal Strike Hits Interstate Markets. Bu United Press PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 30.—A national coal strike Involves Interference with Interstate commerce markets, Judge F. P. Schoonmaker ruled in United States District Court today in granting the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation a preliminary injunction against the United Mine Workers.

The methods of the union in conducting a strike amounts to “a conspiracy to interfere with the interstate marketing of coal produced in nonunion mines by the means of strikes, force and intimidation at the point of production; and . . . thfs is all undertaken with the intent and purpose to prevent coal mined at nonunion mines from finding its way into interstate commerce,” Judge Schoonmaker said in his opinion.

PINT OF GIN IN HOME BRINGS LIFE IN PRISON ^ —— Hard Labor Is Compulsory Under Sentence Provided by Michigan Law, Bu United Press . LANSING, Mich., Sept. 30.—Because he had a pint of gin in his holhe, Fred Palm, 29, today started to spend the rest of his life at hard labor in the State Prison at Jackson. He was the first man in whose case violation of the liquor law was construed as a felony for the purposes of Michigan’s new criminal code, which went into effect twentyfive days ago. The code, modeled on the New York Baumes’ laws, makes a life sentence mandatory after a fourth conviction of felony. Though Palm had given the police plenty of trouble, he never was regarded as a desperate criminal. Most of his offenses were against the prohibition act. He is a married man. Pleads Guilty to Charge His last two offenses were linked. Arrested in July for the transportation of liquor, he skipped his $5,000 bond after arraignment. Police received word last week that he had returned and when they went to his house to arrest him, the officers found the pint of gin. He pleaded guilty to the transportation charge and was sentenced by Judge Leland W. Carr to a term of from six months to two years. He was arraigned immediately on the charge of possessing a pint of gin and again pleaded guilty. Judge Carr ,questioned Palm as to his previous offenses, evidence of which was submitted by the prosecutor. Palm admitted them all, though the judge warned him that he faced a life sentence. Convicted Seven Times Palm had been convicted five tinfes of felonies in the Ingham County courts. He also served a term in Leavenworth penitentiary for counterfeiting and a short term for a misdemeanor. “Have you anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced?” the judge asked. Palm shook his head. "The sentence of this court is that you be confined in the State prison at Jackson at hard labor for life,” the judge said.
