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."

THE last of tha series of public band

An unusually large audience had gathered
early In the afternoon to listen to tha

DISEASE - FOILS ALLli
Infantile . Paralysis Puzzles
Oregon Physicians.
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.

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."
