SUBSIDY IS BLAMED Wrong Merchant Marine Plan, Says Norwegian. BIG COMPANIES BENEFIT Captain O. Lange Tells of System It Norway, Where Shipping Laws Are Good Says Doon Should Be Thrown Open to All. "Ship subsidy Is nnnifnif. There Is no excuse for It. If the Government iiould appropriate a great sum only a few of the ota; companies would get any of It. It would not help the lit -tla fellows and middle men. who need help." The foregoing Is the opinion of Cap tain O. 1-ange. of New York, who rep resents the Norwegian Insurance Mu tual rluhs In the I'nlled States, having charge of t'oe business on both the At lantic and the Pacific roasts. He rep resents li or If different insurance rlnha and Is now making a tour of tha Pacific Coast la their interests. Mrs. Lang Is accompanying her husband on the trip and they are now staying t the Portland Hotel. "Norway holds fourth place In tha world's merchant marine and not one hip haa been subsidised." said Cap tain Lange. "If It costs too much to build a ship In tha United States throw the bars down and allow the builders to buy In the cheapest market. A ship subsidy la nonsense. I believe In re moving all barriers and let each fellow take rare of himself. Norway ts a mall nation, but It has alven good account of Itself particularly In the hipping business, and It has not given protection or subsidy to any one "If It costs i to TS per cent more to build a ship In tha I'nlted States than elsewhere, a subsidy to make up the difference Is not the remedy. It would only help a few big companies. Tho middle men would gala nothing- On the contrary they would be Injured, for they would then be placed In compe tition with Government subsidized ahlpa and eventually be shut out. An American ship may be manned with foreign crews. If they are cheaper, ao the ship subsidy would do no good on fiat account. Foreign laws are more favorable to shipping than those of the I'nlted States, and for that reason many I'nlted States ships ara going i under tho Norwegian flag. About a month ago an-American ship In Seattla was placed under the Norwegian flag. The Pacific Coast has a great future for shipping and it is the fault of the United Statea laws, not the lack of subsidy, that ts placing so much. of It In foreign bottoms. Throw the bars down, let shipbuilders go into tha world'a markets where they can buy the cheapest, and there will ba no need for Government aid to build up a United States merchant marine." Browns Band Gives Its Last Public Concert Vaaaaally lane Aaaleaee A ppred atea Ftae Mamie la City Park. THE last of tha series of public band I concerts by Brown's Band waa given yesterday afternoon at tha City Park. An unusually large audience had gathered early In the afternoon to listen to tha delightful musical treat, and tha benches were crowded to capacity long before the final number. The opening selection was the "Marcn" from Warner's "Tann haeuewr." a stirring martial air that makea Its appeal to all whether musi cally Inclined or otherwise. This was followed by "Tales From Vienna Woods, a subtle melody with delicate shadings from the mirter of waits music, Strau Again a Wanner number waa presented, this time the "Overture" from "Tann haeuser." Then came the always popular and - beautiful sextet number from Donizetti's opera 'Lucia." tV insistently waa this selection applauded that tha band, always aenerous with Ita encores. gave Sousa's "Stars and Stripe Forever.' which la probably one of the beat be loved of the msrch king's comporttlona.

The flrK of thee "Hungarian Fantasia," waa a tippling, light melody that brougnt smiles and tapping of feet In Ita train.

ONE CASE REPORTED HERE City Health Officer Orders Child Iso lated and Advises Portland Par ents to Watch Their Children and Notify Family Doctors. Infantile paralysis, one of the most perplexing afflictions that medical sci ence has been called upon to combat. haa not taken hold in Oregon like it haa In other states. But ine case is reported In Portland. From the At lantic to the raclflc. from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, the deadly disease nas been sporadic. It has al most assumed epidemic form In cer tain localities while near by communi ties have escaped without a single case. tio connecting link of the widely scattered disease nas been found. It springs up in isolated localities the same as in congested communities. Science knows no way of preventing It, knowa no cure, has not discovered even a logical theory of what tha disease la. About all science knows Is that Infantile paralysis attacks children and that the mortality rata Is about o per cent. Oregon Has Been Fortunate. The records show that Oregon has been fortunate, or there Is some pecu liarity of climate, water, vegetation, mineral properties In the earth that repels the disease. On either side of Oregon. Infantile paralysis haa been more epidemic and more fatal than In this state. While the disease appears to ba more prevalent In most states this year than heretofore, there have been fewer eases and fewer deaths in Ore gon than last year. Dc Calvin S. White, secretary of the state board of health, has been keeping a close watch on the disease In this state. He has been collecting all the data available on each case, along with the views of the attend ing physicians. In an attempt to aid medical science - In finding the cause of the disease and a cure for It. Yes terday he received a letter from the surgeon-general of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, of Wash ington. D. C. requesting information about the disease In this state and a report a all case a Dr. W. K. Lorett, noted physician of Boston and a member of the board of state health commissioners of Massachusetts, has also written to Dr. White for local In formation concerning the disease. "We don't know what the disease is, what causes it or how to cure it," said Dr. White. "We know that It Is not caused by the same thing or the same conditions, and that Is about all. We know of no way of preventing it or precautionary measures to guard against It. It has baffled science. "The first symptoms closely resem ble typhoid fever. Primarily the spinal cord Is affected. Then the front mus cles of the legs. From the legs It goes up the body and when it affects the respiratory muscles It is fatal. It Is kown that the disease is communi cative and I would suggest that all children showing symptoms, and es pecially pronounced cases, be Isolated the same as they should be on account of measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, or any other contagious disease. Disease Tried on Monkeys. "Dr. Flexner, of New York, produced the disease In a monkey by Injecting fluid from the spinal cord of a child that waa afflicted. Into the spinal cord of the monkey. Then he took the fluid from the monkey's spinal cord and Injected it into the spinal cord of another monkey. He continued his experiment until four monkeys were thus Inoculated and had the disease. But he found no germ or cure. "The disease first became known In Vermont In 1894, where it became epi demic. Children, horses, dogs and chickens had It. There has never been such an epidemic since. From there it sporadically spread to all parts of the United States. "I know of no reason why Oregon has fewer cases than other states. Last year there were nine deaths out of IS or 20 cases. This year there have only been 16 cases and the death rate )s lower. . There are now four cases or infantile paralysis at Hermister, six at Heppner and four or five In the vi cinity of Coos Bay. It usually attacks children between the ages of 5 and 16 years." . A case of Infantile paralysis at tha home of Peter Wygant. 722 East Seventh street north was reported yes terday to the city health department Dr. C. H. Wheeler, city health offi cer, ordered the child isolated. The child has been 111 several days, out yesterday showed marked slxns of im provement and It probably will recover. rr. wheeler advises parents to watch their children closely and. If signs of illness appear, to immediately notify the family physician. Beyond this first steps and isolation he can offer nothing. JOIN PREACHER WEDS BROTHER OF GROOM, AXSO BIIXISTER, TALKS ON LOVE. Church of God Workers Hold Scrv ices at Which Instruction Is Given on "Life Honeymoon." B. H. Neald and Hazel G. Greenstreet, both preachers in the Church or God. were married at the chapel of that de nomination, 361 Failing street, yesterday. The ceremony was performed by Bev. George Neald. a brother of the bride groom. The latter recently came to Port land from the East. Both Mr. Neald and his wife Intend to continue in the ministry. She has been In the mission ary home of the Church of God for min isters and gospel -workers for the last three years, and -Is a contributor to the "Gospel Trumpet," a denominational pa per. The bride is 21 years old, the same age as her husband. Before the ceremony was performed. Rev. George Neald preached a sermon on "Love." in which he said '"kissing doesn't bring love, but that love brings kissing." He was heartily In favor of both. He said a married man should not ask bis wife if she loves him. "It is all right for your wife to tell Vancouver L,ad Bitten by Dog. TAXCOUVER, Wash., Ausr. 21. (Spe cial.) Mrs. A. M.

CL0TMCS you she does,' he said, "but It is not right to demand It. The best way is to win it. "Soma men speak of their wives after marriage as the 'old woman,' the 'old hen or the 'old duck,' " he continued. "Shame on the man who wiH thus disre spect the wife of' his bosom! If he had treated her that way while he was court ing he would have felt the sole of her father's boot. That's Just what some people need. "The courtship should not cease after persons are married. The honeymoon of the first month ought to continue through life. The same thing it took to make the first month happy and sweet will make the second, and the third and the fourth, and so on through life. If you treat your wife as you should she will love you, and if she treats you kind ly you cannot help loving her. Our com- panions are, as a rule, what we make them. Many a man has been driven to do desperate things because of his wife's attitude toward him." lie for Dressed Veal Smith pays it, and he will pay 12c for Dressed Pork. i 16d for Live Chickens. 25c4 doz. for Fresh Eggs.
