SLEEP OUTDOORS 11 BEIT PH ADVICE One-Tenth of Oregon Deaths Due to Tuberculosis Says Secretary of Society f for Prevention. White Plague Menace Unneces sary—Open Air Schools Needed. The different experiments being con ducted for the prevention of tuberculosis nnd the mortally due to that disease, were made the subjects of a talk given by Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, executive secretary for the Oregon state society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, bo the Social Agencies class. According to Mrs Orr-Dunbar’s figures there were in Oregon last year, 657 tub erculosis deaths, or more than 10 per cent of the deaths in this state, were due too that cause, and of this number the largest percentage were housewives and students. “This is worse,” said Mrs. Orr-Dunbar when we consider that it is a preventable disease. Most all of us have the infec tion at some time, as is common in childhood, but if the constitution is strong enough it eau be resisted. Noth ing is more conducive bo tuberculosis in children than whooping-cough. Pleur isy has a most direct bearing on tuber culosis.” Work Carried 01 Through Groups Mrs. Orr-Dunbar explained how at first the work against the white plague was done by addressing great masses of people, but that now it is carried on more through groups, ouch as schools or clubs. She also told what a problem tuberculosis was iu Finance before the war began, and how that country had sent health authorities over to consider conditions in the United States. “When the Canadian soldiers first returned,” she said, “they were so glad to get back that they went right into their homes, carrying with them the tuberculosis gems. Now they are under government control when they return and until they recover. We will likely have the same civic problem to face here, and it is up ibo us to take care of the boys when they return, and pre vent consumptive deaths as far as pos sible. Changing Climate Idea Obselete “People are beginning to believe less and less in change of climate as a cure for tuberculosis, a.-cording to Mrs. Orr Dunbar, but beliexe that the roost ef ficient cure can be administered iu the climate where the disease was con tracted. She particularly emphasized the fact that sleeping out of doors is a great preventive of the plague. “Portland has just given us the prom ise of an open air school,” she said, ‘and I believe that every town that has twenty sub-normal children should have an open air school.” APPARATUS FOR POSTURE TESTS NOW INSTALLED Schlmatograph. Corrective Equipment, to Be Ueed in Women's 6ymnasium. The University of Oregon is the first college in the state to install in its physical training department a schema tograph, a machine for use in posture tests. The apparatus, which cost $55, will be put into use immediately. Miss Mabel Cummings, head of the department of physical training, is of the opinion that the new machine is an ex ce'lent addition to the corrective equip ment of the gymuasium. “The schematograph,” she said, “is the only means of securing absolutely accurate posture tests. It presents a silhouette of the posture of the person examined, with an outline as clear as a footprint. Our plan will be to get these silhouettes from time to time and thus ktep a record of improvements or de tcrionadons.” i The schemetograpb, invented in 1912 by I>r. Clelia Mosier, head of the de-1 partment of physical training at Stan ford University, works in somewhat the same manner ns a huge camera lens, and throws silhouettes on a ground glass reflector.
