by Arthur Brisbane A BILLION DOLLAR TARGET CHICAGO’S BIG GAIN SUCCESSFUL MISS HOLLINS MR. WELL’S CHIMPANZEE

On the ferry from Jersey City to Liberty Street one morning recently you saw flocks of airplanes above the money district reaching from the East River to the North River and from the Battery to Canal street. Lazily floating in the air. above the water were two big blimps and the navy’s giant Los Angeles. Later you learned that New York was bombed, skyscrapers and banks destroyed by 140 military planes, and most interesting, the navy’s great fleet parading below had been sent to the bottom of the water. That was theoretical. But if it had been real war there would have been no theory; instead, a great city and fleet wiped out. If 40 planes, one dirigible and two blimps could work such havoc, what could a real fighting air fleet do, such as the French fleet, for instance with ,5,000 airships? •’Nearly complete” census figures give Chicago more than 3,350,000 inhabitants.. That is a gain of 648,000 sinte the last census and almost 13,000 more than Chicago’s Association of Commerce expected. And Chicago hasn’t “Shown anything yet.” Wait until 5,000 seaplanes coming from Europe on one side, Asia on the other, drop daily on the smooth waters of Lake Michigan. That is coming, and then Chicago will have a real population, spreading to Milwaukee on one side, Gary on the other. ' . Pope Pius, who has installed a broadcasting station in the Vatican, will, according to an Associated Press dispatch, initiate the use of the station witth a personal address,sent t<> the faithful everywhere. That scientific miracle would have amazed the ancient pdpes. Charles M. Schwab, in pleasant optimism says 1930 will be a year of normal progress. “Business is better today than it was six or nine months ago," says he. A million women, burning with the desire to be “independent,” although nobody is independent, will be interested in Miss Marion Hullins. ago she was champion female golfer. New she takes her place in big business as an able “oil woman.” She made up her mind that if men could do it, she could, went into oil financing, and a recent sale netted her $2,500,000. - Did you read H. G. Wells’ interesting statement about the higher apes? They can "think ahead a little. No 'other animal except man, not even monkeys with tails, can do it. Without being taught, a chimpanzee will take one stick, insert it in the hollow of another stick, and with the added length of stick, draw a banana into his cage. Since the beginning of time no other animal but man could think as much as that. Consider what man does now, weighing the stars, measuring the electrons inside of an atom, and only 12,000 years ago he was using sharp flints for weapons, not far ahead, mentally, of the chimpanzee. , What will he do 10,000,000 years hence? News from Burma tells of many deaths by earthquake and tidal wave. Ancient pagodas were rocked to destruction. From the top of one, Shwe-Dragon pagoda, there fell a huge weather vane of solid gold said to be worth $1,200,000. Many devout Burmans doubtless asked themselves what particular god had become annoyed, just what had annoyed him, and how he could be placated. This country’s workers and industrialists need protection, and should have it. Our people come first, other people second. But intelligence should control even the tariff. It is possible to overdo the business of discouraging friendly nations with whom we deal. President Musey, of the Swiss republic wires President Hoover: “I am compelled to call attention to the fact that your watch and lace duties will, eventually, paralyze our indus-

Ties." The Swiss National Chamber of Commerce recommends the , boycott of American goods, especially autos. That suggestion means little to us. But we should take seriously the danger of hopelessly discouraging Swiss industries, offending and in* juring the good people of SwitserJand. She lives apart and few will know when her career ends. But Cancelaise, Jersey cow of Mt Sisco, New Tork, is champion female worthy at honor. Last year she produced 1,072.7 pounds of butter fat, and 18,822 (OMtttMd tat

YOUNG CHILD DIES, IS SICK ONLY A DAY Physician Who Attended Answers Rumors Os Cause Os Death Pretty little Juanita June, two and one half years old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rado McFarren who moved here from Goshen a month ago, died at her home Saturday afternoon, of infantile paralysis. She had been ill about 24 hours before her death. Surviving besides her parents, are three sisters, Mildred, Glendora and Virginia, and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McFarren, of New Paris, and Mrs. B. F. Hentzell, of Syracuse. Before her marriage, Mrs. Rado McFarren, was Miss Marie Hentzell of Syracuse. Rev. R. G. Foust officiated at the' services for Juanita, Monday after-; noon, and interment was made in the cemetery at New Paris. In spite of the verdict of attending physicians that the sad death was due to infantile paralysis, rumors as to-the cause being cerebo-spinal meningitis, spread rapidly in Syracuse Saturda yevening and Sunday, until outside papers Monday carried the story of her death naming meningitis! as the cause. ; To answer many questions as to the two diseases in question, Dr. C. R. Hoy” has kindly volunteered the following information: “Cerebo-spinal meningitis and infantile paralysis are as different as —measles and mumps, for instance. Cerebo spinal: meningitis is an inflamation of the coverings of the brain. ! Infantile paralysis is an irifiamatibn | of the spinal nerves. “Adults do get infantile paralysis, but not so often as the cerebo-spinal meningitis. This latter is much more infectious than the infantile paralysis, and can be carried after, contact with one who has it. One can become ill with cerebo spinal meningitis from contact with such things as the handkerchief used by a patient, or anything on which there is mucous from the body of the patient. “With infantile paralysis, there is evidence of infection by contact. “The incuba’tiori period for_J.hfantile paralysis is about two weeks. The invasion period is from two to five d-ays, from the time the patient first complains until the disease is well devolped. ; “The incubation period for cerebo spinal meningitis is from five days to three weeks. It may either work quite rapidly or very slowly. The invasion period is two to five days? “People who have been ill with infantile paralysis or cerebo spinal meningitis frequently make complete recoveries,” the doctor summarized. The McFarren home on Boston street has been fumig’ated, and is quarantined for two weeks, to prevent any spread of the disease. Mr. McFarren has been permitted to leave and remain away in order to work, but othes are not to leave the house for that period.
