MEDICAL TESTS IN
CHICAGO
PROPOSED
Health Committee Would Ask
Bill to Require Both Sexes
to Take Examinations.
DOCTOR FEE OF $10 PLAN
Measure Would Provide Increase
or $029,020 for Profession or
10 Per Cent Gain Book Kc
vlews Legislative Fights.
CHICAGO. Feb. ,10 The subject of
making medical examination before
marriage an Issue before the Legisla
ture of Illinois has become a vital
question in Chicago following action
taken at a meeting of the health com
mittee of the City Council of that city.
The agitation proposes to so a step
further in the direction of making
medical examination before marriage
compulsory than has been attempted or
accomplished in any other state.
The committee has recommended for
approval by the City Council the draft
of a bill for an act patterned largely
after the Wisconsin eugenic law. The
principal difference Is that it is pro
posed in Illinois to require women as
well as men to obtain medical certifi
cates before being permitted to marry.
Another change from the
measure is that in the proposed I linois
bill it is contemplated to permit ex
amining physicians to charge a fee or
J10 instead of $3.
Earnings Rise Estimated.
An idea of what the passage of the
proposed measure will mean for the
medical profession In the State of Illi
nois may be gained from the follow
ing figures: From 1888 to 1902 there
were in Illinois 26.451 marriages. At
the rate of $20 a couple the doctors
of the state would be able to , col ect
in examination fees a total of o-9 .0-0.

ican Medical Association director,
each doctor in the state would receive
til 43 It Is estimated that the aver
age income of physlciana in Illinois Is
between 500 and $!00.
These figures indicate that the pas
sage of this one proposed piece of leg
islation would mean a net Increase of
10 per cent in the earnings of the Illi
nois physicians.
right for Freedom Reviewed.
An interesting book devoted to the
history of the struggles of the people
?r! their fight for freedom in Its many
phases has just been completed b B O
Flower, president r he,at,T,ml
League for Medical freedom. The
title of the book is - Progressive Men
Women and Movements of the Past
Twenty-five Tears."
The author reviews the struggles en
gaged in and the hardships endured by
The people in their fight for tredom
of speech, press and assembly in the
Vnited States. In his last chapter the
author takes up the subjec t of the
present fight for medical freedom.
On this subject he says in P".
"Though from year to year during
the past half century he people op
posed these medical monopolists as they
annually petitioned for special Sta
tion, they did it for the most part as
individuals or small. unorganized
Troup, of citizens. In the later -80s and
early 's a civic organisation did some
effective work.
Owen Bill I Killed.
-This was the National Constitutional
Liberty League, with headquarters in
Boston, and one of the 'efding spirits
of which was J. Winficld fccott. who
formerly had performed valuable work
In the cause of medical freedom In Des
Moines, la., founding The .National Liberator.-
a journal of medical freedom,
later published In Boston.
"Professor Joseph Khodes Buchanan.
M D and Professor K. F. Humiston
were also active workers In the league
In Boston. It was my privilege to en
gage In th's work In which, we were
able to orfrsnlie effective opposition to
medical monopolists in Massachusetts
and elsewhere and to publish much val
uable propaganda literature.
-In 1910. when It appeared that the
Owen bill would be enacted In the
course of a few weeks, the National
league for Medical Freedom was or
ganized and It prevented the passage
of the measure at that time. It has
pushed forward a vigorous educational
campaign, warning and enlightening
the people upon the vital Issues and
and fundamental dangers Involved In
this most sinister form of prtvllege
ffrktng power. In less than two years
the league has enrolled In Its member
ship more than 200.000 citizens, em
bracing several thousand educated phy
sicians and men and women prominent
In almost every walk of life."

Town la Key to West Coast District
and Important Railroad Center.
Fleeing- Enemy Pursued.
EL PASO, Feb. 14. Guadalajara, sec
ond largest city in Mexico, fell Satur
day Into the hands of the Villa troops,
according to a telegram received to
night by the Associated Press. General
Villa describes his victory as complete.
The Villa victory today over the Car
ranza troops of General Dleguez fol
lowed previous Carranza advices that
the first attack on Guadalajara had
been repulsed. Guadalajara is the key
to the West Coast district and an im
portant railroad center.
Villa also told of the execution at
Guadalajara by the Carranza troops of
several priests.
Villa's telegram, which was dated at
Guadalajara, follows:
"Despite the bravado and insolence
of the enemy, they have not been
courageous enough to await our forces.
They now continue to flee everywhere.
Every day they are losing partisans
who come to our files.
"We entered Guadalajara today and
immediately after continued to pursue
the "enemy. It seems that the main
Carranza group has left in the direc
tion of Manzanillo. but active orders
have been issued by General Medina
to stop their progress.
"General Medina entered Guadala
jara followed by a hundred of his men.
He succeeded in surprising the weak
garrison there, killing 360 of the Dl
eguez troops and taking six machine
guns and much ammunition. The re
mainder were disarmed.
"In all towns on our route we have
been received enthusiastically by the
people, as they have entire confidence
In our attitude and are tired of the
atrocities , committed by the Dleguez
forces, who have looted the homes of
workmen and murdered several priests
and private citizens. All the inhabi
tants are demanding arms to fight
with us."

The audience comfortably filled the

The Instrumental trio has many

would welcome now and then a solo or
duo from Mrs. Pipes, Mr. Konrad, or
Mr. Hutchison. This could be done ef

Rumor That Transfer From Vancouver

Causes Stir at Post. " , ,
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash.,
Feb. 14. (Special.) Every one In the
post is excited over the rumor that
the Twenty-First Infantry is to be
ordered to the Presidio, San Francisco,
for duty at the Panama Exposition.
Army officers of the Twenty-First now
on duty In California have telegraphed
to officers here that the report is cur
rent there that the War Department
has issued the order for the troops to
be in the Presidio by February 27, and
that all that Is lacking is an appropria
tion from Congress, and it is believed
that will be forthcoming.
The Thirtieth Infantry, which has
been on duty at the Presidio, has been
ordered to Plattsbure, N. Y., and it as
hoped by officers here that' the Twenty
First will be able to obtain the vacated
quarters. Some think that the soldiers
will camp out in tents during the Fair.
Colonel Young, commander of the
Twenty-First Infantry, is in San Fran
cisco, it is thought, and he is due to
arrive here about February 20, but it
may be he will remain in that city if
he learns the troops are to arrive
there by February 27.
Should the Twenty-First Infantry
leave here, only Company F, Engineers,
would remain in the post, to do the
necessary guard and police duty.

Vlce-Preldent Olmatead Says Deal
Will Widen Influence of Fi
nancial Institution. . .
Entrance of an important new In
fluences Into the Northwestern National
Bank came last week with the pur
chase of a block of stock by the Day
interests, of Wallace, Idaho. The deal
was negotiated by H. L. Day, of Wal
lace and Edward Boyce, of Portland,
president of the Portland Hotel Com
pany. , . .
The Day interests control the great
Hercules mines at Wallace, as well as
a bank In that city, together with Im
portant interests ii Spokane, Wash.
They also own the Portland Hotel In
this city. From their Idaho mines last
year they are reported to have taken
"(-',000,000.
The purchase of stock by the Days Is
regarded as important, being the ad
dition of another outside Interest to
the extensive capital already behind
the institution.
'We feel that their connections in
Northern Idaho will be a distinct ad
vantage to the bank." said Vice-President
Emery Olmstead. of the North
western National, yesterday. "The
purchasers are men of large capital
and many interests, and the fact that
they have become stockholders will
naturally widen the sphere of influ
ence of our institution, and we feel
that It is a big benefit for us to have
these men allied with us."

Large Banquets Given by Merchant
Princes of Chinatown Will Not
Begin for a Week.
Chinese New Year's, as observed un
der the Manchu dynasty and nol as de
creed by the new republic, began Sat
urday, when Chinatown blossomed out
in festival array of bunting and flags.
The long strings of firecrackers which
were wont in former days to herald the
coming of the New Year for those in
Chinatown, are under the ban this year
and have been dispensed with, as the
Chinese can secure no permit for their
use from the city.
The streamers and flags are the only
outward evidence of celebration, and
as yet the private celebrations have
not assumed large proportions. Fam
ily gatherings and dinners and more
games in the family circle than usual
are marking the advent of the New
Year. The large banquets given by the
merchant princes of Chinatown will not
begin until after next Sunday, but
probably will continuo for a week or
The new Republic ut China has set
January 1, by the Gregorian calendar,
as the day for the celebrations of New
Years by the Chinese, but. for purely
business reasons, the local Chinese also
are observing the New Year's of their
forefathers. The republic's announce
ment would ask but a day of festivi
ties; the old New Tear's lasts for weeks,
being a continuous round of feasts and
games, all pending to revive lax busi

ders," she said, "and there I shall re
main until the end of the war, with
only brief excursions to England to re
plenish my supplies, provisions and
clothing for these poor peopl.:.
"I am spending my whole income on
this venture in addition to the help I
am receiving from my friends.
"My barge Is now completed and
stocked for the first trip and we soon
shall be chugging up the rivers dis
tributing food and clothing wherever
they may be needed.
"I am practically the captain and the
cook. My helpers are three nurses as
signed to my aid by the Belgian gov
ernment, the crew and a Belgian offi
cer as interpreter.
"The American commission is doing
splendid work in the part of Belgium
which Is occupied by the Germans, but
Flanders has been neglected. With
the help of English friends I have been
able to get enough supplies for the
first trip of perhaps a few weeks, hut
when these provisions are gone wo will
need more help and I hope some of my
American friends will assist.
"People In the X'nited States cannot
imagine under what unbelievable con
ditions the stricken Inhabitants of the
war zone live and how many of them
are actually near starvation.
"My friends who wish to help may
make their contributions to Mrs.
Thomas L. Shadbourne 520 Tark ave
nue. New York, and they will be for
warded to me and acknowledged by
me."
Miss Elliott has been able to secure
what nobody else of whatever calling
has been able to get, namely, a pass
from the commander-in-chief of the
allied forces in Flanders permitting her
to go at will into and even beyond the
fighting lines.

One Good Investment
Is Worth a Lifetime
of Toil and Scrimping
A bare living wage or a salary "d then years ot
saving will never bring independence. The money you
save must earn a profit, and 6 per cent or less is not
enough. It must earn the maximum for you. If it doe
not you can be sure that others arc milking tlikdifference
between that 6 per cent and 20, :10, 40 per cent and up.
You say safety only exists in small earnings. Then why
do most banks earn enormous returns on actual capiUil
invested. They give you 3 or 4 per cent and tell you that
that is the safe way but do they hesitate to invest your
money where an earning many times greater will be made?
The difference is that tho banker is able to discriminate
between the good and bad investment, and has the nerve
to back his judgment.' Is a first mortgage safe? It U
considered the safest. But you cannot loan (individually)
a small capital on'first Mortgages, nor can you invest in
them in monthly payments. Shares in The Oregon Home
Builders (co-operative home building institution) permits
investment of the smallest capital, on monthly payments
if desired. Your money is protected by "home contract."
and achieves the highest possible earning power.
Have the business foresight to investigate this proposi
tion while the opportunity exists.
