LATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER AT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | accident in Arkansas on one of the big air liners is one 'of the worst tragedies to hit aviation in several years | and, in view of the lack of explanation for the accident, it suggests some hidden mechanical trouble which might be remedied only by infinite painstaking before any plane leaves the ground with people. i In all fairness, though, it should be said that this ' catastrophe in another sense accents the rapidly im- proving safety record of airlines and airplanes. In 1933 a total of 19 persons were killed on air lines. In 1931 there were 35 and in 1935 the figure was 23. But air passenger miles the first half of 1935 alone totaled 162,858,746, nearly as much as the 198,800,079 for all the previous year. It is epochal that these great air systems could expand to nearly double their activity in three years and yet keep accidents almost stationary. The patron- age growth has been stimulated by the increasing ATTEND THE BALL TONIGHT | Infantile paralysis (acute anetrior poliomyelitis) accounts for 27.26 per cent of the cripples among chil- dren. Every year some 10,000 youngsters are struck down, and in epidemic years the toll of this disease SAfety record. ¢ increases to 40,000. Until a comparatively short time But this latest tr:\gndy accentuates the indispen- ago so little was known about the disease that the |Ple need for superlatively minute ground safety pre- stricken ones were absolutely without hope. | cautions, Eternal vigilance is the price of safety, and It was the first President Roosevelt who first stirred | public interest in cripples by inviting to the White House in 1909 the social workers’ conference on depend- ent children. The desire for knowledge with which" to conquer infantile paralysis was intensified by the sufferings of the victims of epidemics in Vermont and New York during the period of 1914-16, when in New York City alone 6,574 surviving children required clinical treatment. And now another President Roosevelt is taking the lead in this great fight against the scourge that can, in a few days, sweep up a child in the full bloom of | health and cut him into a pit of terror and pain. | Tremendous advances are being made in research, | methods of treatment and preventive measures. Ail over the country the battle is being waged that will, | it is hoped, eventually stamp out the dread disease | entirely. ! \ v r ' y G v ansas, In 1925 President Roosevelt discovered that bath-| FOrmer Attorney General Ottinger went to Ka 2 |saw Governor Landon, conquered him.
