Would It profit the Government elty. state or Nation to see that each citlsen was so examined periodicallyT To both of these questions ur. vln 8. White," secretary of the State Board of Health, answered eiuphatlcal The question of universal periodic medical examination is now a lore most topic inUhe big Eastern centers "By such preventive methods,' ODined Dr. White. "I see no reason why eventually all people should not live to be iou. ia the vital nnfnt of the hu man audit' question: Certain kinds of diseases have in the last tew years shown an alarming increase In fatali ties. A doctor can tell in the earlier stages of such diseases as ailments of v a iiu.p ami irtHnpvn lnrnmtor ataxia. arterial sclerosis, cancers and other such formations. .

"Almost 100 per cent of the cancer eases result fatall If people were all examined periodically, a cancer could be caught in the early stages, and three out of four cases cured. The reason cancer Is such a dreaded dis ease is because people pay no at tention to the early symptoms. They don't' go to a doctor until they are forced to." Efforts to get people to have them selves examined at least once a year have borne some results, but not widespread enough, said Dr. White. The only way this can be managed, he says, is for., the state itself , to take not of it. Inaaae Outnumber Students. "One-third of all the money raised h t.TM in Oreeon troes to support eleemosynary institutions. There arej more people in Insane asylums In the United States today than there are In all the colleges. In other words, we an spending- most of our money to keep the unfit alive. Instead of to keep the physically fit in good condition. It is on these physically fit that the structure of society rests, and they must be taken care of. "It Is a big social problem, and the eventual solution will be the socializa tion of the entire medical profession. We are all independent and must take care of one another. It is the duty of society to see that its Individual work ers are kept In the best possible health. If we do this, we will have fewer unfit to care for in the end. "That is why It is a matter the state ' should take In hand. To Insure a physical examination at least once a year of every man, woman and child in the state would cost less than it does now to maintain our eleemosy- nary institutions." 2 CHASED FOR NEW .SHOES After I xing Pursuit Police; Seize Barefooted Men as Thieve. An exciting chase by' a 6hoestore clerk, policemen and newsboys through the business section of Portland re sulted in the arrest yesterday after noon of Jim Stewart and Jack Carter on a charge pf stealing two pairs of ehoes from Cramer & Co., 225 Morrison street.

"Wrap the old ones up fpr us," they told Swire, and while he was doing it, they left the place suddenly with the new ones on their feet. Swire gave chase for several blocks and the police were summoned. For ten. blocks, dodging around corners, through a rooming-house and down a back stairway, along Front street and down- to the waterfront, the men showed olean heels before they were overhauled. The new shoes had hurt their feet and they were forced to take them off to be able to run. WOODMEN PLAN CAMPAIGN Prizes Offered "for Best Suggestions on Way to Get Members. Multnomah Camp. No. 77.

AUSTRIAN LIEUTENANT GIVES DIAGRAM OF FIGHTING POSITION OF A CONTINENTAL ARMY. 1 j, ! : . JeSuard. CvaU- CQ .tilt. win 3 C X C J. lilt yartS V I rr t I Bl 3 1 J i . mere I battll Lieutenant J. von Makdych. of the Fifth Austrian Cavalry, in the reserve, who is in Portland waiting call to the sfrvlce In Europe, describes the fighting position of an ordinary Continental army, consisting of about 124 battalions of infantry, 64 batteries of artillery and 20 squadrons of cavalry. He says: "At the beginning only about 10 to 12 battalions participate in the battle at short range. These battalions are supplemented successively from the second and third divisions. "As a rule these bodies advance in short swift intervals, bat advances usually end In a bayonet attack. The second and third divisions usually are stationed on the sides or In the rear, depending on the condi tion of the battlefield. Cavalry Is seldom used in modern warfare In attacking the enemy, but is useful in reconnoiterlng expeditions, at times In swift flanking attacks, and as a cover In artillery movements. The artillery usually Is placed In a step and stairlike position, or is run up In rear of infantry columns, shoot ing over their heads In the progress of battle, enabling the Infantry to make steady advances. However, there Is no set rule, and all army positions depend entirely on the character of the country covered by the battling forces."
