DEMONSTRATION IS GIVEN
Hospital Staff Works Out Method
Said to Minimize Dungrr and
Inconrcnlcncjc, but Ama
teurs Arc Duly Warned.
CHICAGO. Jn. lO.fSpecial.) Ob
iit.trlclans at Wesley Hospital have ad
vanced o far in the :ience of child
birth that th-y now net a day and even
an hour for the ushering; In of the nw
baby. The method is attracting wide
attention among medical men and rny-nl'-lans
from other cities make frequent
visits to the Institution to study the
method and its effect. In brief. It la
a policy of "Intelligent action instead
..f the old method of "watchful waiting-."
The mother is permitted to
make a choice of about ten days from
the expected date, which has been con
firmed by physical findings.
It Is also made certain that there are
no latent Infections to be aroused and
the case must be proper this latter
term covering: a wide range.
DUtrraa Maeh Modified.
After the prospective mother has se
lected her day and hour, her attend
ants meanwhile having urged on the
lime when all conditions are in the
hiKhest degree favorable, natural pains
are induced, like starting a clock or an
automobile, and the long, distressing
hours of the first stages are materially
shortened.
The mother la spared the customary
exhaustion and the baby Is spared the
usual strain. As speedily as possible
twilight sleep is added, thus doing
away with the sensation of pain. The
result, as noted in the Wesley Hospital
rases and there are so many that a
rule can safely be laid down Is that
the total period of labor is definitely
shortened, the mother is spared the
customary fatigue and the baby Is not
endangered.
Mother and Babe Benefited.
The child Is stronger and the mother
rallies much more quickly. The danger
of infection Is diminished.
Advocates of the system say It Is ex
cellent if carried out intelligently, but
Ignorantly or carelessly handled It
might be productive of great harm. It
is best attempted In a great hospital,
where every facility is at hand and the
attendants are skilled and keyed to
the highest point of efficiency.
DRY BELT IS CONSIDERED
Secretary or Agriculture May Start
Experiments In Washington State.
OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Jan. 10. The "dry belt" of
Washington, comprising Adams. Grant
and Franklin counties, does not seem
to be receiving the attention from the
Agricultural Department that such a
section phould receive when it is known
that, with a little intelligent research
work as to the best plant life to use
on this soil and the best methods of
tillage and a diffusion of the results of
the investigation, homes of a large
number of contented farmers could be
made In this territory.
On several occasions promises have
been made by the department officials
to spend certain sums of money In con
Junction with the agricultural experi
ment station at Pullman for the pur
pose of studying the soil, but owing,
probably, to Democratic economy these
promises have not been kept. The mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of Senator Jones, however, and he has
taken it up vigorously with the Secre
tary of Agriculture. The latter Is now
considering the proposition, and It Is
hoped that he will find a way to give
this great section of the state the
recognition it requires and deserves.

SALEM. Or, Jan. 10. (Special.)
That something must be done to put
an end to fraudulent signatures to
initiative, referendum and recall peti
tions was the opinion of all members
cf both houses interviewed tonight.
J. c. Moreland. Clerk of the Supreme
Court, has prepared three amendments
to the constitution. The Legislature
will be asked to approve and refer
them to the people. The constitution
now provides that legal voters may

vide that only registered voters may
sign them. Signatures may then be
compared with those on registration
bocks, and fraud, it Is believed; will
be reduced to a minimum.

Canneries Might Manufacture Fer

Outlay, Says Federal De
portment of Agriculture.
wiSHtT.TnV. Jan. 10. (Special.)
The waste proauced in the process
of canning salmon is variously eon
mated to be from 25 to 50 per cent of
the original weight of the fish and
more than 12,000.000 is the value of
this waste annually on tho Pacific
Coast, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. In a new
ly published bulletin the Department's
bureau of soils suggests that canneries
might advantageously dispose of their
waste by manufacturing it into fer
tilizer or fish meal for poultry or
cattle feeding purposes. With a strict
ly by-products plant. overhead
charges would disappear and a good
profit should be realized on the sale

condition of the cannery would be im
proved.
Snail Unit Plant Advised.
Salmon cannery waste Is being dis
posed of at present by the "large
unit plant." which at first glance ap
pears more desirable than the small
unit plant." However, the failures in
the operation of centrally located ren
dering "large unit plants" have been
far more conspicuous than the suc
cesses. There are many reasons to
believe that the "small unit plant
. ,1. ..o.iii- if run as an in-
tegral part of the cannery, might
prove, financially, more iu.i.iij.
The "large unit plant" must haul

would have on hand and the former
also lacks demonstratea y

back, that the season when the plant

Finally there has been a. general
. , , .n thA demands of the
problem in this manner. Of course.
if the seaweea aem
connection with the fish-scrap in a
large unit plant the results might be
more satisfactory. This feature will
be considered in detail in a subse
quent article.
Moderate Equipment Adequate.
- The bv-products plant, which is Just
sufficient to treat the output of the
cannery's waste, seems the only al
ternative to the central rendering sta
tion. Por equipment the old-fashioned,
unimproved retort cooker and hydrau
lic press are adequate. This is be
cause they are the only apparatus
which has been applied successfully
on a small scale, rather than because
thev are ideal. This form of appar
atus will render salmon cuttings, af
fording a good grade of scrap and a
fair yield of oil. The total cost of a
suitable apparatus should approximate
J5S00.

Leading Men to Be Examined as
Witnesses In Hearings Soon to
Begin Propriety of Regn-
lation to Be Considered.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9. Whether
resources of approximately a quarter
of a billion dollars controlled by four
great philanthropic institutions should
be employed without Government regu
lation in the promotion of enterprises
affecting public welfare, especially that
of wage earners, is one of the ques-1
tions which the Federal Industrial!
Relations Commission will bring to the)
front here during its forthcoming!
hearings. Investigators lor the lastj
two weeks have been preparing data !
on which to base the examination of !
witnesses. - V j
The four institutions are the Rocke-I
feller. Sage, Cleveland and Baron de
Hirsch foundations, the latter repre
sented in this country by Jacob H.
SchifT. Their chief officers have been
summoned to testify and will be asked,
it was said today at the commission
headquarters, to tell what policies
govern the distribution of their chari
ties, their attitude toward labor prob
lems, tne nature ol their schemes for
social betterment; in sum, to disclose
in detail the character of all their
activities.
Resources Derived From Industry.
In view of the fact that the im
mense resources of these institutions
were chiefly derived from the profits
of industrial enterprises and that they
were now, employing them in many
ways affecting the conditions of wage
earners, it was the desire of the com
mission, it was explained, to determine
whether their policies were in every
respect consistent with the public wel
fare. It was pointed out that the in
stitutions were under no legal obliga
tion to make their operations pubic
and that it was a pertinent question to
determine whether such immense
resources were potentially dangerous,
when not subject to governmental
supervision.
In raising this question no implica
tion was intended, it was explained.
It was simply the purpose of the com
mission to call attention without

if one of these is corrupted he can

Industrial Leader, to Be Called.
The Commission also plans to call
the directors and chief stockholders of
several of the large industries to ob
tain, a discussion of their relations with
employes; also members of the Na
tional Civic Federation, and the rew
York Charity Organization Society.
"It is the purpose of the Commis
sion.'" says a statement by Frank P.
Walsh chairman of the Commission,
"to bring before it in New York the
men whose names are most closely as
sociated with our great basic indus
tries, and through this means to ob
tain a full, frank discussion of the
relation that exists between the cen
tralization of wealth and power in
their hands and a feeling of unrest
among wage earners.
"Whether rightfully or wrongfully, a
large number of wage earners com-
plain that their interests are prejudiced
by the fact that the industries In which
they are employed are owned and con
trolled by men. who live at a distance
and who have no personal knowledge
of the conditions under which the em
ployes work and live.
Complete Statements Desired.
"The Commission assumes, of course,
that every good citizen desires to aid
In any sincere effort to get at the
underlying causes of industrial unrest,
and in this as in its other inquiries
it Is approaching its task with an open
mind and a desire only to get at the
facts. Each witness will be urged to
make a complete statement of his
views. The Commission's conclusion
will be given only in its report to Con
gress, and until that is submitted its
attitude will be open-minded and free
from prejudice."
Nearly 50 witnesses have been sum
moned, most of them persons of Na
tional prominence.
