EIGHTH WEEK OF EPIDEMIC
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 19.—The end of the
eighth week of the epidemic of infan
tile paralysis was marked by no mate
rial change in its development. Dur
ing the 24 hours ending at 10 a. m.
thirty-six children were killed by the
plague and 134 new cases were re
ported to the Health Department as
against 32 deaths and 125 new cases
reported yesterday.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PLAGUE TAKES
JUMP IN PHILA.
Eight Cases Since Midnight;
Dr. Dixon Bars Shipment
of Bodies
Philadelphia, Aug. 19. lnfantile
paralysis made a new record for fa
talities in Philadelphia when reports
to the health bureau showed eight
deaths and three new cases from mid
night to noon to-day.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon to-day placed
a ban on the shipment of bodies of
infantile paralysis victims through or
into Pennsylvania from other States.
In a statement Dr. Dtxon disagrees
with the prediction made at the con
ference of State health authorities in
Washington yesterday that infantile
paralysis will be prevalent next year,
saying that no man can predict such a
thing. He cited the experience of
Pennsylvania which in 1910 had more
than 1,000 cases and comparatively few
since then until this year. So far the
State has only crossed the 500 mark.
Experience says Dr. Dixon, has proved
that an epidemic of the disease reaches
its height in August and it may there
fore be expected to diminish from this
time forward.

New York, Aug. 19.—The organiza

a found of $2,000 to defray the ex

sons in this city who have recovered
from attacks of infantile paralysis
was announced to-day. From this
blood a serum is extracted which is
believed by Dr. Abraham Zingher of
Willard Parker Hospital to be efficica
cious in the treatment of the disease if
administered in its early stages.
The committee has obtained the
names of about seven hundred per
sons.

Affair Dr. Dixon Declares
Philadelphia, Aug. 19. Dr. Samuel
G. Dixon. Pennsylvania's State Health
Commissioner, was "much surprised''
to find when he arrived in Washington
that the conference of State health au
thorities. called by Secretary McAdoo
to discuss infantile paralysis, was run
not by the surgeon general of the Unit
ed States, but bv Dr. Haven Emerson,
Health Commissioner of New York.
Dr. Dixon attended the conference on
Thursday, its opening day, but left that
evening for Philadelphia, "as every
thing had been left in the hands of 'the
committee."
I "The committee' was the one on ways
!to suppress the disease. According to
[ news dispatches this committee yester
\ day made a pronouncement against
I quarantines by one State or community
' against another in the fight against in
fantile paralysis. Dr. Dixon said this
; pronouncement emanated from the
; New York City health authorities,
i "When I went to Washington, I
1 thought I had been called there at the
instance of the surgeon general of the
: United States," said Dr. Dixon. "But
when we entered the room the Health
i Commissioner of New York City was
at the door and shook hands with us."
Dr. Dixon defended the quarantine,

3400 r.p.m. Chalmers SIO9O Detroit
Quality First
THE NEW WAY TO SPELL ECONOMY
CHALMERS
A cheap piece of machinery, like the boy
with a little knowledge, is sometimes a danger
ous thing. Men are ouying better and better
lawn mowers, and reapers, and printing presses,
and gasoline engines and pumps.
Why ? Because they find it pays.
Probably there's no better example of this
in the case of automobiles than Chalmers cars.
Figures show that over 75 percent of men
who have bought Chalmers cars this year
previously owned a SSOO, S6OO or SBOO car.
Nearly every 3400 r. p. m. we have sold this
year has been to someone who has driven a
lower-priced car. It pays to buy a better car
as much as it pays to buy better machinery.
But it seems that the great big buying public
has the same idea, too. I' m particularly strong
for the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers because it has
tremendous endurance.
There are now more than 1,000,000 miles of
use to the credit of this car. Besides the fac
tory writes me that the 3400 r. p. m. motor
has a service record of 99.21 percent perfect.
If you never had a run in the 1917 Chalmers,
let me know. I want you to get this thrill
whether you have any idea of buying or not.

LIGHT BOUQUETS
FOR MERCHANTS
Electrical Magazine Tells of
Harrisburg's Business
Streets in Issue
Unusual tribute to the progressive
spirit of Harrisburg's merchants Is
paid by the Signs of the Times, an
electrical advertising magazine, in its
current issue In an article headed
"America's Brightest and Busiest
Streets."
"As a man is Judged by the com
pany he keeps, likewise is the city
judged by its merchants and its mer
chants by the advertising they do,"
says the magazine "and there are
none that better realize this than the
merchants of Harrisburg, Pa. So the
need for an educational campaign to
be waged to compel them to toe the
mark of progress Is eliminated. They
need no prodding to keep up with
the vanguard. The progressive mer
chant does not or cannot consider his
business successfully advertised until
he has an electric sign flashing his
message by night, when people are in
a more receptive mood and have the
leisure to allow a consideration of the
thoughts that are delivered to their
minds. -
"Several of the streets of Harris
burg are lighted by the boulevard
system of illumination, show windows
are well taken care of, and practi
cally all the leading merchants have
electric signs In front of their re
spective places of business. The en
tire business section has a cheery at
mosphere at night which is the much
sought-for condition. The Harrisburg
Light and Power Company has been
very active in promoting better and
more abundant illumination in the
business section with noticeable re
sults. The Harrisburg signs are of
the common sense type and are a
credit to the lighting company that
sold them, to the merchants and to
the city."
