Jloports to Be Made by Chairmen

Xext Year Discussed Aid'
of Women Is Enlisted.
As a result of the activities of the
Oregon Social Hygiene Society during
the four years since its Inception there
has been an economic sain of $300,000
to the state from the curbing of dis
eases and the extermination of quacks,
according to the estimate of Dr. Wil
liam T. Foster, president of the organi
zation, in the foreword to the fourth
annual report. The report will be pre
sented at the annual meeting of the
society tomorrow nisht at the Benson
Hotel.
'Relative to the economic aspect of
the work. Dr. Foster says:
"It is virtually certain that the eco
nomic gain alone due to curbing the
spread of diseases and the consequent
increase in the number of days per
year of productive labor of Oregon men
and women has in four years amounted
to $200,000.
"Unat-k- Drive Valued at "MOO.OOO.
'"Incomplete though the evidence for
such an estimate must be. it is, never
theless, extensive and sufficient to war
rant the minimum named. The actual
material saving to the state due to
this one cause probably has been
greater. The additional economic gain
to the state during this period due
to the extermination of highly success
ful quacks has certainly not been less
than $100,000.
"Considering nothing but the imme
diate gam in dollars and cents, the
returns to the state upon its invest
ment in social hygiene education have
been enormous." '
During the four-year period Dr. Fos
ter says 700,000 circulars have been
distributed, exhibits have been shown
to 113.000 persons and 3600 men, who
applied to the advisory department,
have been assisted. The speakers, he
says, have made more than 1400 ad
dresses in more than 70 cities and
towns in Oregon and in 15 cities in
other states.
Lecture Given to Boys
Speaking of the success of the Ore
gon society. Dr. Foster says: i
"The Oregon society is now regarded
as the standard for state-wide social
hygiene in this country. Our only se
cret of success is our ability to com
mand the continued labor and devo
tion of the members of our board of
directors."
Among the activities of particular
interest the report mentions special
lectures for employed boys and for the
police force and special conference
work among the teachers.
Of the success of operations against
"quacks" the report says:
"The society has been vigilant in at
tempting to keep Oregon free from the
operations of advertising medical con
cerns. At the close of the present
year's work there are no quack adver
tising medical concerns in the state.
This condition is due much more to
educational work than to legal prose
cution." Women Aid In Work.
House to ' house work by prominent
influential women of the state has been
a feature of the activity of the society
the past year.
The society has used two exhibits
in its work at the State Fair. 2391 per
sons visiting one of them. For 1914-15
approximately 103,900 circulars were
distributed.
The co-operation of many of the
druggists of the state has been secured
by the society.
The annual reception and dinner of
the society will be held Monday night
at the Benson Hotel. The principal ad
dress of the evening will be delivered
by Thomas M. Balliet. dean of the
Ki-hool of Pedagogy of New York Uni
versity, on "Hygiene and Morals as the
Aim of Sex Education." J. 13. Snyder, of
Pendleton, will give an address deal
ing with "Experiences on the Frontier."

GAS PROSECUTION LOOMS
Action Threatened Against Seattle
Company for Heat Unit Lack.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Oct. 30. Because
Seattle gas does not contain a suffi
cient quantity of British thermal units,
it is likely that the Seattle Lighting
Company will be made defendant in a
prosecution to be instituted by the
public service commission, the first of
its kind, to compel the product to be
brought up to the commission standard
of 600 British thermal units.
A test by the Seattle laboratory of
tho commission some months ago
snowed the shortage and the company
was warned. Chairman C A. Reynolds
states, adding that since that time the
company has shown no disposition to
increase the heating power of its gas.
The commission has asked Assistant
Attorney General Scott Z. Henderson,
its official legal advisor, to recommend
legal procedure to be followed.
Fair Directors Meet Monday.
Directors of the Multnomah County
Fair Association will meet Monday at
the fairgrounds to close all business
connected with the fair of 1915 and
prepare for the annual meeting of the
stockholders in December. It is ex
p:td that all bills and other business
van be closed up at this meeting Mon
Uay. This will be final official action
of the present board, of directors, as
the stockholders will elect directors at
tiie annual meeting. It is not thought
that many changes will be made if the
present directors will accept re-elec
tion, as the stockholders generally say
they approve of the management of
the present board.

DEFENSE IS DESIRED
Burton, of Ohio, Sees Light
After Extended Tour.
AMERICA IS RICH PRIZE
Ex-Senator, Formerly Opponent of
.Larger Army and XaTjr, Now
Advocates Preparedness to
Resist Aggression.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. 28. That public sentiment
Is generally favorable to liberal appro
priations for the National defense is
fully attested by the switch of ex-Senator
Burton, of Ohio, after making a
tour of the country that carried him
through a 11 sections.
Prior to his trip to the Pacific Coast
and during his long career in Con
gress. Mr. Burton was strongly opposed
to a large Navy and to a bigger Army.
When he reached Washington after his
extended tour, Mr. Burton let it be
known that he had undergone a de
cided change of mind. He would stop
short of going the lengths of the mili
tary nations of Europe, but he would
favor liberal appropriations to place
the United States in a condition to
meet a foreign foe, if such a foe should
move on this country.
America Mast Be Ready.
"Out of the European war may come
an era of militarism, and every nation
may be bristling with armament. If
this is to come then we must be ready,'
declared Mr. Burton. That was in
strange contrast to the previous utter
ances of the Ohio man. when he sought
to discourage increased appropriations
for the Army and the Navy. He now
says he hopes the war will lead to
a. long era of peace, but admits uncer
tainty as to international conditions
that will follow the cessation of war
in Europe.
"We must have enough "front" to
keep the other fellow from treading on
our toes." was another expression used
by Mr. Burton. "So I say steps must
be taken for an adequate defense, for
whatever defense is proper to protect
our Nation. We are not Justified in pre
suming that there will be a period of
militarism, nor are we safe in conjec
turing an era of peace. The proba
bilities are for peace, but the dangers
of something else are great, and should
be given due weight.
Country Is Rich Prise.
"We have millions of men and should
not be frightened. I believe in a well
balanced Navy. Our country is a rich
prize. What would be more foolish
than to allow its coasts to be so weak
ly guarded as to attract the possible
armed hordes that would seek for
brighter -fields after the European
9'
PL-
on a military footing comparable to the
countries of Europe, but a rational de
gree of preparedness is necessary.
This would be regarded as a fairly
advanced stand for any American
statesman, under prevailing circum
stances, but these utterances coming
from Mr. Burton indicate clearly that
he has been feeling the public pulse,
and that he has no hesitancy in making
public the trend -of sentiment as he
found it.
As an aspirant for Presidential hon
ors. Mr. Burton naturally wants to es
pouse popular issues: hence the added
significance that attaches to what he
has to say.
