il it a table. The young man was
called from the room, and shortly af
ter his departure, the head waiter, in
his endeavors to make everybody
happy, beckoned a gentleman, whom
he supposed to be the returning guest.
Before the new arrival knew what had
happened, lie found himself seated ac
a table between two charming youne;
ladies. One of the ladies immediately
started a conversation, but the invol.
untary intruder evidently did not an
swer satisfactorily, whereupon a star
ing process was well under way when
the original guest arrived upon the
scene. The two men had never met
before, but each recognized the othar
as a kind of "double." "My name is
Brown," said the interloper. "Mine
is White," replied the other. The lad
ies decided that Brown and White
were a good mixture, and they decid- j
ed to take Brown in to fill up their
party. Several hours later they were
seen making their way up Broadway,
and people were pointing out the two
men as twin brothers. Their "lights
were shining," and they thought may
be they were.

New York, Nov. 8. -(Special) The

the after-care of infantile paralysis
has entered upon an entirely new

tims of , the epidemic were examined
daily by Dr. Robert W. Lovett, of
Massachusetts, who, because he is re
garded as the leading authority in the
country concerning, the after -treatment
of infantile paralysis, has been
secured to take charge, of the clinics
in New York State.
As a result of the examinations Dr.
Lovett and his staff prepare charts
and extensive written reports, show
ing the condition of the pat'.ent.
! Copies of these are placed in the
I hands of the local physician in charge
of the case. The physicians in their
examinations take from thirty n.in
;Utes to half a day to thorougnly diag
.nt.se the condition of each caje. But
the supervision of the State docs not
'end with the clinics, and the scope of
the work contemplates that the IV:
. pa'tment will keep in close touch with
I .ai'i, case until a permanent cure is
' affected or nothing further is necd
jed from the State, or medical defense.
I '. linics will be held throughout the
stale, taking up the time until a'jout
the first of the year; when it tu cal
culated that this branch of the work
will be completed. Supplements' clin
ics are proposed to be held, b(.;;inning
early next year.
In addition to the measures provid
ed through the State Health Depart
ment, and the full cooperation of the
local physicians and health authori
ties, the State Charities Aid associa
tion is furnishing its assistance to the
work throughout the State.
At the request of the Stale Health
Department the Charities association
has appointed a state-wide committee
to see to it that the social needs of
every family are provided. The
forces in local communities are util
v.M, and as a result it is certain that
no family shall .suffer by reason of
lack of finance, for medical attention.
Orin Root, of New York, is chairman
of this worK, and Miss II. Ida Curry
i. secretary. Miss Curry and her as
sistants are following the work
i hrnughoiir. the state.
As a result of tho clinics the exact
lomlition in which each victim has
I een left by the disease is established;
a: d the local physicians, parents and
r:!icnts are furnished full knowledge
as to the necessary measures to be ob
served to restore the patient tj
health. Science and the public treas
ury arc combined in the most deter
mined effort in the history of the
r.lnte to restore as many of the un
fortunates as possible to their normal
condition.
The earnest response on the part of
lecal communities iii.-uies that the
work of the State organizations will
be fully .supported. Many parents
who brought their children to the
clinics wero told and with emphasis
that the most important thing, for
the present, is absolute Test for the
patients. Special muscle exercises,
which will be modified from time to
' time, have been recommended. A de
termined effort is being made on the
part of the physicians, to protect the
children against improper methods of
treatment.

There has been a big commercial
market for American flags during the
past few months; resulting, no doubt,
from the country-wide agitation of
preparedness, and the political cam
paign. But the process of showing
patriotism by means of displaying
the red, white and blue, and the stars
and stripes, has become a proposition
beset by greatly increased expense. United States and Canada were heavi-

general quality. This is due to the
scarcity of wool and dyes, as well as
to the increased cost. The situation
at the cotton mills, where price of la
bor has increased, has caused another
jump in the prices of flags. Wool
bunting was formerly the principal
material used in the best class of the
stars and stripes, but it has fallen in
to disuse because it costs too much.
Cotton has supplanted wool bunting,
but cotton too is becoming more ex
pensive every day. However, if one
were to judge from the amount of
flags that were displayed in the cam
paign, he might draw a consistent
conclusion that second- hand flags
should be plentiful.

Every New Yorker whom 1

from five per cent of the entire pop

male population, but more and more

methods and communication by tele
