6 INFANT PARALYSIS HUMAN PLAGUE ONLY Disease Is Spread by Contact, Says Report of American Health Association. MONKEYS USED IN TESTS Isolation of Patients and Restriction of Associates Advised Xo Spe cific Treatment o Actual Value Is Known. - Washington, Nov. 3. "The weight of present opinion inclines to the view that poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) is exclusively a human disease and is spread by human contact, whatever other causes may be found to contribute to its spread," is the conclusion reached by a committee of the American Health Association made public here today by the United States Public Health Service. "The specific cause of poliomyelitis," continues the report, "is a micro-organism, a so-called virus, which may be -"positively identified at present jonly by its production of poliomyelitis in monkeys experimentally inoculated. Such experiments have shown this virus to be present not only in the nervous tissues and certain other organs of persons who have died of poliomyelitis but also in the nose, mouth and bowel discharges of patients suffering from the disease." Recommendations Are Made. The committee recommends the fol lowing procedure in attempting to con trol the disease: Requirement that all recognized and suspected cases be promptly reported, isolation of patients in screened premises for at least six weeks; disinfection f body discharges: restriction of movements of intimate associates so far as practicable, as ex clusion of children of the family from school and other gatherings; protection of children " from contact with other children, or the general public during epidemics; observation of contacts for two weeks after the last exposure. The report concludes: "There is no specific treatment of established value in poliomyelitis. During the persistence of the acute symptoms, the important principles of treatment are rest in bed; symptomatic relief and passive support for the pre vention of deformities. Active measures during this stage are not only useless but are apt to cause serious and often permanent injury. Skillful Care Advised. "Hospitalization of patients where possible should be encouraged. The best chances of recovery from residual paralysis demand skillful after-care." ""Effective preventive measures, ap proaching complete control," the report cays, "are impracticable because isola tion of recognized cases of the disease and restraint upon their immediate as sociates must fail to prevent the spread of the infection-by unrecognized cases and carriers. "Nevertheless." it continues, "we may hope for the development of a more thorough knowledge which will permit of more effective control of the disease than is now practicable."

HAVE you ever sat in a motion , picture theater and wondered where the pictures which ap peared on the walls of the interior ettings came from? You have un doubtedly suspected that some of them came out of an ash barrel, and there were others that surprised you by heir appropriateness and their appar ent intrinsic merit. As a matter of fact, the motion-pic ture producer has to give very careful consideration to this matter of the pic tures which he hangs in, his interior settings, because they are the little touches by which he can indicate the atmosphere of the home which he is trying to depict on the screen. More over, he is handicapped in his selection of pictures by the fact that there are I a great many excellent prints of famll- , lar paintings which, though good to look at, fail utterly to be effective when photographed. The big producer does not shop around for his "paintings" each time that he builds a setting. He has a large stock of the types that he knows he will need for his average setting the bromides that are found in every middle-class home. These are picked up in second-hand stores. But when he really stages a big scene which represents the home of some very wealthy man the producer will borrow or rent, under bond, a few handsome paintings or etchings from an art deal er. The vast majority of these pictures. however, are part of the scenic equip ment of the studio. At the Famous Plavers studio, where they make pictures for the Paramount Programme, there is a long gallery run ning across one side of the building, the walls of which are studded with paintings, prints, chromos, etchings and varieties of stock pictures. Each of these pictures bears a number. painted over the hook on which it hangs. From the main floor the scenic director can survey the entire assem blage, and when he wants Sir Galahad, he shouts for No. 10, whereupon a .stagehand lowers the distinguished knight over the side of the balcony. A call for No. 15 will bring George Wash ington, No. 48 will produce the Ma donna, and there are over a hundred others hanging patiently on their hooks awaiting the call of opportunity. Little Mary Business Woman. Mary Pickford had her first experi ence as a real business woman, since she has become the head of her own film corporation she has a suite of offi ces in the Godfrey building, in New York. It suddenly occurred to her while working before the camera in Long Island that she ought to give her offices at least a look in. last ween she called and was left all alone in front of a roll-top desk big enough to make her a house. The telephone rang. and, answering It herself, a child's voice came over the wire. "I want to talk to Mary Pickford. Then there was a pause. "I'm Mary Pickford," came the an swer. There was a sound over the wire as if one had fallen or had been overcome with awe. Mary Pickford continued the conversation and the little miss at the end of the wire explained that she and a companion had seen her go in the building and were phoning from the drugstore, "an It is our last nickel! added the girl. "Wait a minute," said Miss Pickford. Then deserting her office she went to the drugstore and the greetings were followed with pineapple sundaes. But the office all thought she had fled. Those, in charge looked in the big room and Mary Pickford had gone. She had even left the phone ofx the hook. Then a search was started. One clue brought tiding3 that she was last seen going into the Strand Theater with a party of little girls. Time went on and no Mary Pickofrd. Just about dark her car drove up to the building and she rushed to the elevator. "I want to go to my office," said the little star. "What office?" said the elevator boy. "My office I'm Mary Pickford." ""Oh, swan," said the boy, "wo get that every day." And finally she was identified in the office of Artcraft Pictures. Are the Clansmen Alive Today? Recent outbreaks - of lawless night riders in certain districts of Kentucky, who dragged both whites and negroes out of their homes and flogged them and administered other brutal punish ment to them, smacks of the old Ku Klux Klan methods, that are so strik ingly set forth in D. W. Griffith's photo-spectacle, "The Birth of a Na tion." This ia the way It started, but con THE MORNING OREGONIAN, S A TURD AT, IB" -1. 5 ' Sf77crSys - - s SZctrwaTT stant success made the offenders bold' and bloodthirsty, and eventually flog ging and ordinary maltreatment no no longer satisfied them and then common murder and every other dev ilish means of outrage was resorted to. Distance and time lend enchantment and the followers of the "Invisible Empire" of today do not have the halo of romance about them that marked the clansmen of the early after-the-war period, but if not promptly taken in hand they might? degenerate into Just such an organization. It is also said that the present night riders affect practically the same dis guise as did the Ku Klux Klan the long, ghostly hood and shroud and the white covering for their horses. This adds a now impetus to the do ings of the original Ku Klux Klan. as depicted in "The Birth of a Nation," and will strike a note of reality to those newer generations who may re gard the secret organization as some what of a myth. Director Is Film President. The most interesting official move. following the recent combination of the Famous Playera-Lasky Corporation, the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company and Pallas Pictures, is the election of Cecil B. DeMHle, director-general of the Lasky studios, to the presidency of the Oliver-Morosco Photoplay Com pany and the vice-presidency of Pallas Pictures. Mr. DeMille was one of the four or ganizers of the Jesse I Lasky Feature Play Company ana as director-general has had charge of all producing at the Hollywood studios since the inception of the company.

SUPPORT OF PRESS GAINED Argument Made Tliat Location Is Advantageous and That Mainte nance Cost Will Only Reach 4 Cents on Each $1000. PENDLETON. Or, Nov. 3. (Special.) When the polls open Tuesday morn ing the people of Pendleton will have the satisfaction of knowing that the measure for the establishment of an Eastern Oregon Normal School here will go before the voters backed by the strongest indorsements and the most unanimous sentiment that has ever been given to an Initiative bill, and with no other opposition than that which has been created by tiie score of citizens of Weston, who are fighting for a cause which has twice gone down to defeat because of the physical dis advantages of the establishment of a teacher training school in a small town. The Pendleton Normal School bill will go to the voters with the active sup port of all the leading educators of the state.' with thoee of nearly every teacher, of many teachers' institutes which have been held since the cam paign was inaugurated, with those of a host of business and professional men who are acquainted with the needs of Eaetern Oregon and its hopeless ef forts, under the present system, to ob tain a sufficient number of trained teachers for Its grade schools, with those of thousands of women all over the state who, through their associa tions, like the Parent-Teacher Associa tion, the Mothers' Congress, the Wom an's Christian Temperance Uiion, the State Federation of Women's Clubs, lodges, clubs and the like, have gone on record a friendly to the measure, with the statement of the State Board of Normal Regents, which, in its re cent report, asserted the immediate need of further training facilities for teachers. The measure has the indorsement of J. H. Ackerman, president of the Ore gon State Normal School at Monmouth; ofB. F. Mulkey. president of the for mer State Normal School at Ashland, and of R. C. French, the last president of the Normal School which was for merly located In Weston. Mr. Acker- man acknowledges that the facilities of the present school are altogether In adequate for the needs of the grade schools of the state, and points out that the teachers graduated from the Monmouth school are nearly all taken by the towns within a radius of 100 miles of the school. Mr. Mulkey says his experience has been that the East ern Oregon district cannot be served to any appreciable extent by a normal school In the western part of the state Mr. French, who may be considered as the one man who knows best whether Eastern Oregon needs a nor mal school and whether 'Weston is fitted as the location of such a school, says that professionally trained teach ers are even more necessary to the welfare of Eastern Oregon counties than to the more accessible sections of the state. Discussing the Weston claims, he says that if the school were re-established there an entirely new plant must be built, and. further, that a normal school, to be successful, must be located in a city of sufficient size and have at least 1000 pupils In the grade schools to furnish practice teac.i insr for the normal students. Pendleton's argument for a normal have been Indorsed by the press In every part of the state and many pow erful editorials have been published urging upon the people of the state the necessity for better teacher training facilities. While the measure will undoubtedly receive a large vote from tSe cities of the state, it Is expected that the rural sections will give an almost unani mous vote for the measure because it Is the rural school which is the chief sufferer from the dearth of trained teachers. The fact tiat the maintenance cost of the Eastern Oregon school will be only 4 cents on the thousand dollars of taxable property, it is believed, will decide the taxpayer who considers his purse as he votes. The price of a cheap cigar or a package of gum does not look too large to give for the ben efit of education. Art Awards Made at Cniverslty. "UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene Nov. 3. (Special.)

Referring to placards which he said were posted In the streetcars of Portland declaring that Lincoln had freed the slaves and that Wilson freed the children and uricg the support of Wilson as the man who has kept us out of war, Mr. Dunlway said these slogans were pure bunk.

More students 'go from Eastern Oregon to Washington and Idaho Normals than to Monmouth. 3 Eastern Oregon seriously suffers from lack of properly trained teachers. 4 The only remedy is an Eastern Oregon Normal School. 6 Pendleton is the logical location and so admitted by all trained educators. 6 It is the most accessible town in Eastern Oregon, having 22 pas senger trains each day from five directions. 7 The city has 1000 grade pupils available for practice-teaching needs. 8 Pendleton has up-to-date accommodations for a large standard Normal SchooL The city has a healthful, invigorating climate. There is a thorough 6ewerage system. 9 The city has a splendid gravity water system providing an abun dant supply of good, pure water from the Blue Mountains. 10 The annual maintenance cost of the proposed State Normal School in Eastern Oregon amounts to but 1-25 of a mill or 4 cents on a thousand dollars of taxable property.
