INVASION DANGER CITED Possibility of Disease After- Visit ot Vessels From Far East Is Re lated by New State Health Officer 'on His Return. "Portland cannot expect to be pro tected against plague unless Its docks and wharves are made rat-proof." says Dr. David N. Roberg. newly appointed State Health Officer, who arrived here a few days ago to take up his new duties after a two years" absence in China and other parts of the Orient, where he studied the methods In use to prevent the spread of Infectious diseases prevalent in the Far East. "But it Is not necessary for Port land to undergo any radical change in Its harbor Improvements," he contin ued. "That isn't necessary at all. How ever, when new docks and wharves are being built, the law should compel the owners to use concrete piling and other rat-proof material. Rats cannot gain a foothold or establish a home in a concrete structure. Rats all have fleas and fleas carry the plague germ. Plague usually is fatal. Plasme Danger Considered "So long as vessels come into this port from the Orient there will be some danger of plague-infected rata gaining an entrance, although I un derstand the local authorities here take ample precautions with rat guards and other means of preventing rats from visiting vessels from going on shore." : Dr. Roberg reports that Manila, which once was one of the most pro nounced plague-ridden cities in the world, now has been almost entirely rid of the disease through rat-proof dock construction and the excellent panltaTW standards adopted by the United States Government. No more than 25 or 30 cases of plague are discovered in Manila In a year, he says. These usually are traceable to rats brought In with car goes from China or Japan. The cases soon are isolated and the entire dis trict is ransacked, all the rats killed and the whole neighborhood fumi gated. Lick of System Fatal. But Hong Kong, Shanghai and the other cities visited by Dr. Roberg have not been so successful in stamping out the dread disease. The homes of the natives in Shanghai are built of bam boo and other material easily pene trated by the teeth or the claws of a rat. They find comfortable lodg ings in these dwellings. Rats multi ply rapidly and are great travelers. They carry the germ-bearing fleas from one part of. the city to another. A plague epidemic is an annual oc currence. Thousands of Chinese die every year. The epidemic is stamped out only by the hot weather of the Summer, which kills large numbers of the rats and consequently reduces the means of communicating the disease. Conditions in Hong Kong, he says, are largely similar. No effective method ever has been discovered of combatting the disease, and when once a human being is stricken with it, his fate is considered sealed. Hospital Instruction Given. Dr. Roberg passed eight months In Shanghai, several months in. traveling through China and almost a year in Manila and other parts of the Phllll- pines. vv hue in Shanghai he was en gaged for a short while as an in structor In the American medical school maintained there by Harvard University. Most of the foreign na tions that are represented by large commercial Interests at Shanghai have hospitals there the British, French, Germans, Americans and Portuguese. The Americans and Germans also con duct medical schools and co-operate largely in their work. Registrars to Be Appointed. While the city is governed by the British. Dr. Roberg says there Is little centralized effort to combat the plague and gives this lack of centralized sys tem as one of the probable reasons that the disease still retains its foot hold there. Dr. Roberg will start within the next few days on a tour of the entire state to appoint county registrars of births and deaths In accordance with the law passed by the recent Leglsla ture. He will return to Portland about September 1, when he will formally succeed Dr. Calvin S. white as secre tary of the State Board of Health and as health officer ex-officlo. MR.

In her address before the Congres sional Union yesterday at the head quarters at the Gladstone Chautauqua on the "Significance of Woman's Polit ical Freedom to Her Greater Freedom." Mrs. Laura Baldwin Doolittle said: "The political side of the question or the value of votes for women seems not the most vital phase of this question to me, but the underlying principle, the fundamental law of right and Justice Is the great issue, and without the right to vote women cannot bave that freedom, that equality - that - goes to make right and Justice."

We bave. we believe. In our new building solved this problem by the installation of IC of the best elevators known, thus taking care of every visitor to the store from basement to roof. Further to prevent any posolblllty of congestion, these elevators are relieved by the newest type of escalators (moving stairways) traveling from the basement gallery to the main floor and from the main floor to the second, third and fourth floors. There Is nothing so handy as an escalator for convenient shopping between floors. They are pleasant to ride upon and as safe as walking across the floor.
