DISEASE GERMS ON GULF CLUB |
HANDLES
When the officials of the Chicago
Department of Health found that
hundreds of citizens were suffering
from a growing epidemic of “ring-
worm”, a fungus infection that us-
ually appears on the hands and feet,
they began to do some careful medi-
«cal detective work. |
They knew from previous experi- |
sence that golfers are more than or-|
dinarily subject to “ringworm” on]
the hands. Most of the cases re-|
ported showed that the victims of
the disease were suffering from in-
fection on their hands, so the many
miniature golf courses scattered
about the city immediately fell un-
der suspicion.
Dr. Cleveland J. White, a member
of the consulting staff of the De-
partment of Health, was assigned to |
the job of finding the causes of the
epidemic. One of his first moves |
was to collect clubs from several
miniature golf courses.
Several weeks later, a bulletin was
issued by the Chicago School of
Sanitary Instruction and edited by
Dr. Arnold H. Kregger, commission-
er of health. It contained a frank
indictment against the golf club as
a carrier of the dreaded ringworm
fungi.
“It was discovered,” said the bul-
letin “that an ordinary leather-cov-
ered club handle used at a miniature
golf course accumulated a layer of
germ-laden material-—the result of
perspiration plus dirt, plus germs
from the diseased skin of individuals
‘who had used the clubs.
“Four ordinary leather-coverzad put-
ters were collected at a miniature
golf course and were wrapped in
‘clean heavy paper while in transit
to the laboratory. They were not
touched by anyone save the derma- |
tologist, and then only the wooden
portion of the handle. Scrapings
from the handles were made.”
The bulletin goes on to explain in

The communication facili-
ties operated by the State
and local police in Penn-
sylvania were given spe-
recently as a factor in the speedy

When it comes to nerve-racking
dissonance, there's a world of dif-
ference between the gentle tapping
of typewriter keys and the fierce,
yat-apliiting din of a police pistol
rrage.
Yet words tapped out letter by
letter on the white pages of queer
looking typewriters in a hundred
Pennsylvania police stations have
come to be as greatly feared by
fleeing criminals in this State as a
hail of police bullets.
For these machines, known as
teletypewriters, have been baffling
the most desperate and ingenious
efforts of bandits and other law-
breakers to escape the police after
the commission of crimes in Penn-
sylvania.
The reason for the amazing ef-
fectiveness of these electrically
motivated machines is easy to un-

munication system inaugurated by
the then Governor, John S. Fisher,
December 23, 1929. This original
system linked State and local
police units in 95 cities and towns.
Now more than a hundred are
interconnected. Future years will
see a steady expansion of the net-
work, it is predicted.
The teletypewriter system con-
necting the local and State police
in all parts of Pennsylvania pro-
vides an incredibly speedy and ef-
ficient communication plan for the
transmission of police information
throughout the State. There are
five zones, Philadelphia, Wyoming
(Luzerne county) Harrisburg,
Pittsburgh and Erie, from which
radiate special connecting wires to
outlying points. Each headquar-
ters unit sends messages to the
points within its zone and to other
tion system notable for speed,
accuracy and a written record.
When the operator in State Police
headquarters at Harrisburg de-
presses the “w” key on his tele-
typewriter there, the letter “w”
is recorded instantly on all receiv-
ing machines in the Harrisburg
zone, or in the entire State, if
desired.
Thus, if a gang of bandits were
to hold up a payroll messenger in
Harrisburg and flee in an auto-
mobile toward Altoona, the de-
scriptions of the criminals and
their machine would be flashed
speedily and accurately to all
communities along the rnads lead-
ing to the latter city, together with
the information that the fugitive
thieves were believed to be headed
in that direction. Similar data
would be flashed to cities and towns
