His aim and that of doctors and

There is no available fund for the

the public to co-operate in making
nnd buying fly traps, and asks that
they be sent to Room 729, City Hall.

Dr. Walter S Cornell, chief mcdcal Inspec

Ins como homo from his vacation to help

preventive measures.
But there aro no vuimuiu iuuuh iur me

n appeal to the public to send money for
the traps and to tho boys of tho city,
especially tho Iloy Scouts, to mnlto traps.
!. l'nnr aim ts to make tho playgrounds
the safest placet In tho city for tho chil

have fly traps. Theso traps, such as nro
recommended by the United States Govern

"But I am up against u ior lunus. i

f Money or traps should be sent to room
T29 City Hall. Home-mado traps should
follow tho direction contained lit a Govern
ment bulletin. Mako-shlfts will not bo
:'t welcomed or useful. To ncconipllih nny-
thing mo traps must uo gooa ones.
Doctor Cornell estimates that at least
40,000 Philadelphia children go to tho
playgrounds each day and ho says that ho
' does not think thero Is n thing which can
be done to prevent an epidemic which will
be ot more value to Philadelphia than to
! talto proper caro" of the playgrounds.

of July nnd August. Theso men nro as
signed to different playgrounds. Doctor
Cornell has also Issued n call to mem
