19 10. 24 TIIE MORNING OREC.OXIAX, TUESDAJT. .TUNE AT HOME THOUGHT PAST Babies, Afflicted With Dysen tery, Slowly Recovering. SPECIALIST LEAVES CITY Dr. K. S. Meyer Suggests Quarantine for Each Infant Arrival to Prevent Latent Infection. TCo further danger is anticipated by reason of the recent epidemic of in fectious dysentery at the Waverley baby home, according to Ir. K. S. Meyer of San Francisco, who was called into consultation by Portland physicians when the total of deaths had reached 14, with an. almost equal number of small patients still suffering" from the malady. So confident is Dr. Meyer that the contagiou has been checked, that he will leave for San Francisco tonight to resume- his duties with the Hooper foundation for medical research of the University of California. No new cases of infection have occured within the past 12 days, and there have been no additional deaths for several . days, while infected babies are making satis factory progress toward recovery. Dysentery. Sayi Specialist. "There is nothing mysterious about : this malady," said Dr. Meyer, late last night. "It is infectious dysentery of t he common type, and is frequently prevalent in California. Locally you are to be congratulated upon the promptness with which your physicians and health officials met the outbreak and applied strict quarantine. The situation has been admirably handled from every viewpoint. . "Xor has the death rate been unusu ally high. It is not infrequent, in my experience, for the percentage of loss to be 10 out of 12, while the loss at the baby home has been far less. The dis ease is not confined to infants, for that matter. I have known many adults to contract it during California epidemics. "Bleeriing at the ears and nostrils dc es not add to the mystery of the disease, for such symptoms are also common in individual cases. The bleed i og is caused by the condition of in toxication due to the organisms of the malady, which have long since been iso lated and identified. Babies Are Recovering. "Conditions at the home today are much improved, and the situation is good. The babies under care are re covering from the infection, though this is necessarily a long and tedious process. But there have been no new infections, and we are warranted in believing that the progress of the malady has definitely been halted and conquered. "The physicians in charge of the home, with the health officials, did a splendid piece of work in checking" the infection so speedily and so thoroughly, Jt is surprising that the number of cases, as well as the number of deaths, was not larger. I find the home in ex cellent sanitary condition, and, for the amount of money available, its admin istration is beyond reproach. "I have but one suggestion to make. Epidemics of this character so swiftly grain a foothold among infants, particu larly in institutions such as baby homes, that they are exceedingly dif ficult to combat. Frequently the dis ease is brought to the home by a new arrival, an infant that has a latent in fection while apparently healthy. Individual Quarantine Snssested. "I would suggest a modified quaran tine period for every newly arrived in fant at the home, whereby the young stranger is kept separate from the others for a definite period, until it demonstrated that no latent infection of any sort exists." Improved conditions at the baby home caused the abandonment of the plan to remove the remainder of the chil dren, not infected with dysentery, to temporary quarantine quarters at the county hospital. "With the convalescent vases completely isolated in quarantine wards at the home, physicians are con vinced that there is no further danger of the epidemic spreading. Making its outbreak on May 10, with 26 babies, from a few months to two years ago, contracting the malady, the death toll at Waverley baby home! reached 14 before remedial measures brought it to a halt. horse who refuses to be ridden.

Eddie Ross, who chatters away ami ably about his family, the- 24 descend ants of the house of Skunkton. re turns and fetches his banjo along. Eddie is in blackface and his droll, matter-of-fact conversation makes him a riot of fun. His playing, too, brings keen appreciation from lovers of tinkly jazz tunes. Jimmy Britt, former lightweight box ing champion, is at Pantages this week J and steps out a smart and interesting figure in evening clothes to tell a few I clever stories closing with a realistic j anecdote in verse about an episode at ' the ringside. He was warmly re ceived and well liked, for his act is interesting and exactly of the right length, and variety. The Denishawn dancers offer origi nal dance creations, beautiful creations from the mind of Ruth St. Denis, in terpreted by a half dozen graceful girls. They present a series and a few solos all of it in charming color ful mood and exquisite harmony of body movement. Raines and Goodrich are two clever entertainers, one as a straight conven tional chap asking questions of the other, who is a capital boob. They call their nifty turn "A Trip to New York" and use it to pack in a flock of smart songs, jokes and gay personalities. Their "close harmony" catches on big. A diverting bicycle novelty is pre sented by Gordon and Miss Day, the latter a dainty, attractive girl rider, and the man in a Nat Wills makeup as a knight of the dusty road. His pan tomime is very good and arouses much merriment, while his bicycle tricks are all clever. The third episode of "The Tiger Trail," featuring Ruth Roland, is be ing shown.

SEEKS LIGHT Interest in Recommendation of Woman for Position Evinced and Discrimination Charged. 'For many years I have made a somewhat conservative contest for rec ognition for women, bujt from this time on I shall take a. more radical stand. In this I am sure I shall not be alone." Thus writes Mrs. Adah Wallace Unruh, executive secretary of the Ore- on prohibition state committee, in letters sent to the judges of the Mult nomah county circuit court in protest against the failure of the Jurists to at least recommend one woman to Gov ernor Olcott for the position of judee of the court of domestic relations. A desire to know just what judges supported women candidates in the beginning of the balloting is expressed by Mrs. Lnruh. As the balloting was secret this may be difficult to learn. -miss Lida. M. O Bryon received two votes In the first ballot, none in those which followed. Mrs. Thomas Oar land received three votes in the firs't ballot, two in the second and none in the third. as one or the women asking the judges to nominate Miss Lida M. O'Bryon for judge of the court of do mestic relations, I am interested in asking what attention was given to our request, says Sirs. Unruh. just when women will decide to vote their displeasure against such dis crimination, x am not sure, but cer tainly the time is not far distant."
