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.

It is also said that the present night

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

Hollywood studios since the inception
of the company. The work he has evi

has established him throughout the

Recurring to the subject ofoctorial

fact that Theodore Roberts, stellar

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.

VOTE YES 308
for the
Eastern Oregon State
Normai School Pendleton
And give a square deal to the children of the state.
Here are ten reasons why this measure should
receive your support:
Reasons Why
1 Two-thirds the territory of Oregon is east of the Cascades and
without a Normal school.
2 The distance to Monmouth keeps Eastern Oregon student away.
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. Isn't it worth this to have
your children trained to become useful and productive citizens?
