Dallas. Texas, July 5.—Listing
more than $100,000 in premiums
for livestock, agriculture, poul-
try, textile, hobbies, and many
other classifications, the pre-
mium list for the Golden Jubilee
Celebration of the State Fair
of Texas is now being distribut-
ed, it has been announced by
Otto Herold, president of the
state fair.
Premiums in Livestock and
Poultry have been increased,
and competition has been taken
out of the county agricultural
exhibits. Instead of having
counties compete, each county
will be given $125.00. This will
enable Texas counties to present
the most complete picture of
agricultural possibilities of the
State ever seen. The premium
list contains premiums which
will be awarded individual farm
exhibits, as well as 4-H Club
Boys and Girls exhibiits and
Future Farmer exhibits.
Many new classifications are
included in the premium list,
such as the Hobby show, the
first annual All-Southwestern
Newspaper Contest, the Flower
show, the Colt and Mule show,
and others.

ors of the Austin County Fair
Association met Monday in
Judge C. D. Duncan’s office in

plainant fell from a tree, strik-

service free of charge to the
fair association in this case.
The plaintiff is represent-
ed by out of county counsel—
lawyer from Brenham.
The case will not come up be-
fore the January term of court.

Infantile Paralysis More
Frequent In Summer
Austin, Texas, July 26, 1938.
—"Infantile paralysis can be
expected to occur more fre-
quently during the next three
or four months,” predicts Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Offi-
cer. “This disease is always
more frequent during the hot
summer months.
“The germ responsible for
infantile paralysis is so small
that it escapes detection even
with the most powerful micro-
scopes. The first symptoms are
usually vomiting, headache, fe-
ver, stiffness of .neck, pain in. the
legs, irritability and drowsi-
ness. Complete recovery may fol-
low such an illness. In the more
severe cases, the germ pene-
trates the nervous system, re-
sulting in paralysis of nerves
controlling one or more groups
of muscles. Some remarkable
recoveries have been noted.
“Flies or other insects have
not been demonstrated to play
a part in the spread of this
disease. Infection spreads from
person to person with the drop-
lets transmitted by coughing
and sneezing. Children and
grown people that are healthy
may be carriers of the germs.
When present in epidemic7 form,
about one child in each hundred i
is apt to suffer an attack.
“Early recognition and diag-
nosis are essential. The use ot
immune serum may be a factor
in preventing paralysis. A per-
iod of complete rest is essential
for muscles that are affected.
Industry Clubgirl Wins
Trip To Short Course
Austin, Texas, July 5.—State
Police today urged drivers to
study laws relating to right
of way after analysis of 771
recent accidents showed that
one or more vehicles involved
in 123 or 16 per cent of the
crashes were not in their right-
ful positions.
Unless intersections are con-
trolled by local regulations, po-
lice pointed out, vehicles ap-
proaching from each driver’s
right have th^ privilege of en-
tering the intersection first.
Drinking on the part of a
driver or pedestrian was listed
as the cause of 101 of the 771
accidents, with speed ranking
third. Fifty-four collisions were
caused when automobiles moved
to close to the center of the
highway or were driven on the
wrong side.
Other facts revealed in the stu-
dy showed that 48 accidents
were caused by pedestrian^ run-
ning into paths of vehicles, 40
by improper left turn, 31 by
disregard of traffic control sig-
nals, 30 because drivers did not
signal intentions of making
turns or stops, 27 by improper
passing, and 19 by drivers' lack
of attention.
State safety officials warned
drivers of motor vehicles to use
more courtesy at intersections
and places where other vehicles
or pedestrians may possibly
move into their line of travel.
Through courtesy, they explain-
ed, hundreds of crashes can be
prevented each year
lives may be saved.
Aside from the
heavy toll on Texas
the safety officials
courage^ by the continued re-
duction in violent traffic fatali-
ties. A general nine per cent
decrease has been reported for
the first five months of this
year, despite a nine per cent
increase in travel.
