Pemorvaic, Wald, Bellefonte, Pa., May 8, 1881 1t Your Hea THE FIRST CONCERN INFANTILE PARALYSIS IS DANGER- ous Infantile paralysis is one of the nost contagious diseases known. Keep your children clean. Bathe chem frequently. See that they teep their hands particularly clean. Be sure that each child has its wn clean handerchief. Keep your children away from jlaces where the disease exists. Keep your house unusually clean. Don't allow a fly in it. Keep your garbage bucket clean and tightly :overed. Have a general house-cleaning. Chrow away all useless knick-knacks ind rubbish. Use soap and water venerously, and let nature kill the rerms with sunshine and fresh air. Don't let your children play with groups of children. Don't let them ittend parties and festivals. Don't ake them to movies. Give them all the fresh air you :an, but not on crowded streets, rolley-cars or boats. If you have any garden, keep the :hildren there. se the roof if you jive in a house where there are no :ases of the disease. Wash out your child's mouth and yose frequently with Boracic Acid or lain boiled water with a little salt n it. Give your child cold boiled water that has been kept covered) to irink. Be careful of diet, asily digested food. Let your child have plenty of rest. >ut it to bed early in the evening. Keep your child's bowels in yrder. If you notice symptoms of ever, vomiting or tiredness, give a lose of castor oil. Put the child o bed in a room alone and call a loctor. Keep all other children sway until your child is well. Cover all food that is to be eaten. It is not difficult to recognize typ- cal cases of the disease.

The germ is probably introduced ato the nose most often by the fing- rs. Children should be taught rom infancy to keep their hands ways from mouths and noses.

SERUM | Search for a method of marking umans resistant to the infection of ifantile paralysis has led to the dis- pvery of a means to make monkeys nmune to this disease. This paral sserum, has been introduced by Dr. 7illiam B. Brebner, of the Washing- »n University Medical school at St, ouis. Live paralysis bacteria are inject- 1 in the spleen. Dr. Brebner came pon this theory when he discovered at the spleen is often infected by disease, though the infection I, no further progress through 1e body.

Benz, Mannheim, Germany, are STATE ISSSUES TITLE FOR AUTO BUILT IN 1868 The State bureau of motor vehi- cles has issued a certificate of title covering what appears to be the old- ‘est gasoline motor vehicle in the United States and in the ‘world. James F, Hill, of Fleetwood, | Berks county, claims to have built the car in 1868. Certificate of title No. 2,916,413 has been issued for it to Daniel S. Shade of Fleetwood, In an affidavit made before Charles V. Glynn, notary public, of Fleet- wood, Hill declares he built the car in 1868 and operated it along the roads in Fleetwood and vicintiy. He also asserts that about 1905 he re- ceived State Permit No. 56 allow- ing him to drive the car and for ‘which he paid $2, Shade says he bought the car from Hill about 1922. The car has iron tires, is of the roadster type and has a two-cylinder engine capable of 7.2 horse-power. Head lamps and tail lamps are fitted with es. Because its equip- ment fails to meet the present stand- ard of safety as required by the ve- hicle code the bureau has declined to issue license tags, If it is to move over the highways, it will have to be towed by one of its modern descend- ants. Hill says the car was built as an experiment. In a letter to Benjamin G. Eynon commissioner of motor vehicles, Glynn quotes Hill as making the following statement before Fleet- wood residents who saw him making the car as well as operating it: “I built the car for my own amuse- ment, as I always wanted to do something mechanical, in 1868, and in my capacity as stationary engi- neer of a smail plant here I had the use of machine tools. I first used a two cylinder steam engine, size 21% by 5 inches built myself. A | Peter Reahm, of Reading, Pa., made 'a boiler for me. The boiler was fired by two gasoline burners, but I had trouble to carry sufficient steam to satisfactorily operate the engine. In fact I was afraid I'd blow up the copper boiler, so after a few weeks of experimenti I discarded the steam boiler and engine and replac- ed same with a single cylinder gaso- line engine, 7-inch stroke by 3%%- ich bore designed and made by my- self. “It did run the car but had not sufficient power to pull it up much of a hill and when I tried it out on ‘the road or on the street I was chased away as a nuisance. Becom- ing tired and disgusted with the idea, I put the car away until 1908 when I designed and built the pres- ent two-cylinder gas engine which is now in the car, From 1869 to 1908, I made about eight different types of gas engines as experi- ments.” Delving into “Americana” (1923,) the title section of the bureau finds that the actual beginning of the au- tomobile gasoline engine is traced to Beau de Rochas and the Belgian inventor, Jean Joseph Extrenne Le- noir, and to the exhibition of an en- ne of this type by Lenoir in Paris in 1878. Hill's first engine would ‘antedate this by ten years. Gottlieb i credited by Americana with produc- ing operative gasoline automobiles in 1884, sixteen years after Hill de- clares he and his car were chased to from the streets of Fleetwood. “Horseless vehicles with explosive | motors,” published in 1801, fixes the appearance of the motor car in the United States as follows: “The Dur- yeas took up the experimental line in automobile motors in the United States in 1886, and ater five years of personal effort produced their first motor vehicle in 1881.” Hill's car then was tweny-three years old. MOTORISTS AND RABBITS With the advent of warm weath- er and cleared roads is noticed an State are furnishing reports of this sort almost daily. What makes the fact more distressing at this time of the year is the knowledge that many young rabbits are being orphaned and unable to care for themselevs. | While it is true that many of] these creatures are killed accidental- ly, nevertheless the fact remains that a goodly portion are killed by “smart alec” drivers, those kind of people who look upon hunting as cruel, yet who revel in an opportuni- ty to see “how close” they can come to Br'er Rabbit. They are in the same category as those narrow-mind- ed persons who condemn trapping at the same time they wear fur coats. In some sections of the State) there are far more rabbits killed each year by the motorist than by the hunter. Therefore, the game commission asks the auto- driving public to enter into the spirit of | conservation a little more forcibly | this year, and suggests that motor- ists be a little more careful and give the wild creatures on the high- ways a “brake,” both mechanically and conscientiously. | REBUILDING OF ALL HOUSES IN WORLD URGED BY AUTHOR H. G, Wells, the author, believes the world needs a new house. He told the Royal Institute of British | | “We must accept the possibilities of rehousing all mankind, rebuilding every city in the world and reclaim- ing roads and country side. I think we can well look forward to the time when towns will rebuild them- selves as we now go to the tailor for a new suit of clothes. i “We can look forward tothe time people will no longer think of living in houses a to a hundred | and fifty years old, haunted by the | ghosts of the men and women who | lived and died therein’ Doctor—“Young man, you owe your very remarkable recovery to your wife's tender care.” The Patient—"It's kind of you to tell me, Doc. I shall make out the check to my wife.” NEW GAS GUN MAY BE TERROR TO CRIMINALS, A youthful inventor has announc- ed the perfection of a “gas gun.” he believes, will prove criminals and ‘quelling riots, because, while it ren- ders its victim insensible for two hours, it leaves no after-effects. He is J, W. Van Karner and he “shot” himself with the gun as an t. “I was completely out for two hours,” he declared. “I fired a heavy charge from a gas cartridge into my head. I actually felt better when I came too, for the gas had cleared up a nasty cold.” The gas gun is a compact, light weapon weighing only 21 ounces. It resembles a “triple-decker” revolver in that its detachable cartridge clip fits into the end of the gun, giving it three barrels, one above the oth- er. The gun is made of an alloy that will not draw or hold gas and its connections prevent any leakage. It is a neat and well-balanced pock- et revolver. A large model, designed as a dis- tress signal, contains a double cart- ridge clip and may be fixed on a swivel convenient to the pilot of an e or motorboat. This gun has a full hand grip instead of a single trigger and may be fired bya man wearing a heavy glove, The clip may be loaded by a pilot with- out removing his glove. Van Karner experimented 13 years on the gas gun in Europeand Amer- ica. He not only made the gun, but perfected the Van Kanerite gas to go with it. “The cartridges con- tain a special mixture of chemical gases, certain parts of which are asphyxiating and irritant” Van Karner said. “The gas leaves the muzzle of the gun with a report as loud as that of a 12-guage shotgun, travels at a speed of 100 feet per second, and is effective immediately,” the inventor continued. “The strength of the car- tridge can be altered, thus control- ling the victim's period of helpless- ness. The range of the gun has been effective up to 100 feet. “The majority of shooting with a| regular revolver is done at a dis- tance of 30 feet. The gas gun will be most effective at from 20 to 25 feet, but may be used for close-range shooting from three feet to 40 feet.” | Van Karner pointed out that po-| lice may use blackjacks and clubs at close range and revolvers up to 500 feet or more, but that they possess no weapon which will stun a crim=- | inal without permanent injury if the criminal gets out of range of clubs | or butts of revolvers, “The ordinary revolver is too free- ly used,” Van Karner said. “The gas gun will enable policemen to subdue | cratic ticket criminals without taking life.” JOBS ARE VERY SCARCE AT BOULDER DAM PROJECT | The Department of Labor and In-| dustry has been notified by Francis 1. Jones, director geeral of employ- ment wd Uajted States Depart- ment of , that the suppl i a os Bihar Dann atte | Las Vegas, Nevada, greatly exceeds the demand. He asks that unem-| ployed workers be notified not to go to Las Vegas expecting to find em- | ployment unless they have a definite prospect. i The latest report is that more than 200 men are in the neighbor- hood of Boulder Dam, unemployed and waiting in the hope of obtaining jobs from the contractors.
