Organization of Workers to Combat IMn&rue 1 rjfird Compulsory Health Innuranoe la Predicted. ' OREGON CITY, Or- May 12. (Spe cial.) The demand for printing paper in all parts of the world is far exceed ing-.the supply, bringing about a situa tion unequaled in the history of the business, says J. P. Heilbroon, of the J. P. Heilbroon Company, paper dealers of Manila, P. I. Mr. Heilbroon was in Oregon City today endeavoring to buy paper. "America is called on to fill contracts and orders for all parts of the world, with the exception of Germany i and Austria," he said. "In Shanghai, for instance, seven papers have suspended on account of the lack of news stocK. This same shortage is noticeable in other parts of the republic. 81.85 "Mper Xtw C 88.10. "To give you an idea of the extent of the shortage in Shanghai, the price now Is $8.10 in gold per hundredweight, while formerly news could be landed for 91.S5. But now, even with high prices owing to the scarcity, paper is difficult to get for love or money. China is now beginning to receive monthly one shipment from a Swedish manufacturer. If these steamers are lucky enough to get through without being captured there is a possibility that the paper situation in China will be greatly relieved, as this manufac turer has a tremendous quantity of pa per on hand awaiting transportation. TCxperience Gained in Oresron City Mr. Heilbroon worked for the Wil lamette mills here many years ago as ( a rewinderman. Later he went to San Francisco; where he worked in a paper warehouse. In 1898 he went with United States soldiers to the Philip pines, and at the end of the Spanish American war he remained in Manila. He has been extremely successful, and besides his office in Manila has a branch in Shanghai and has large property interests in the islands. Mr. and Mrs. Heilbroon were enter tained by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Hawley, Sr., with a dinner at the Hawley home in Portland and an automobile ride through Portland and to Oregon City. He was much impressed by the gTOwth of Portland. Several years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Hawley, Sr., and "W. P. Hawley, Jr.. were touring the world they visited fr. and Airs. Heilbroon in Manila. WASHINGTON", May 3 2. Election of pfficers and sectional discussions brought to a dose today the L'Uth an nual meeting of the National Associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Today's discussions drew expert opin ion on clinical, pathological and soci ological aspects of tuberoulosia. Diag nosis of tuberculosis by X-rays has been universally successful, in the opinion of those who discussed it at the clinical section, although its value de pends largely on its use in connection with other means of diagnosis. An address by John A ndrews, secre tary of the American Association for Labor Legislation, featured a meeting of the sociological section. He pre dicted early adoption in the United States of compulsory health insurance similar to that in effect in European countries. Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, of "Washing ton, at the same meeting urged that industrial towns and cities be urged to organize workingrnen and women in the campaign against tuberculosis. Medical examinations of employes was advocated by Dr. Harry E. Mock, of Chicago, as insurance for corporations that employ large numbers of men and fomen.

CONFUSING NAME CHANGED Otto A. Koch Is Now Mr. Cook, With Conrt Sanction. Cook is much easier to proikounce than is Koch. At least that is what Otto A. Cook, formerly Otto Kocn, salesman for the Crane Company, thinks. Mr. Cook's name has been distorted into Kotch. Coke and others, and to forestall any other difficulty he has re sorted to the simplified spelling. Through legal procedure his name has oeen cnanged to cook. Mr. Cook has notified his friends and business associates of the change in name through the medium of a poem, setting forth the distortions that his name has undergone and the name the court has given him. There are values among; them that ought to bring from $30 to $40, and many of the high-priced exclusive shops would charge even more. But I am going to continue to do as I nave always done ' Give values that positively cannot be approached by anyone else and I am going to give my friends and customers the benefit of this fortunate purchase as least as long as this shipment of woolens lasts.. Remember this I am going to fight to the last ditch to keep from raising prices but if I am to succeed in doing so I must do a bigger volume than ever. Will you do j our share to help me do it for our mutual benefit? Remember, this sale opens this morning, and naturally those who come first will have the best picking. Honestly, I don't think you can afford to overlook this opportunity. Perfect fit guaranteed, and satisfaction in every way, or your money back with a smile.
