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.

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. Here

It is important for parents

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’

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

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. The
United States employment service
has established an office at Las Ve-
