' 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.
