' UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Dec. 23. (Special.) A definite health pro gramme, which will include the com bined efforts of the University of Ore son school of medicine, the school of sociology, the public health nurse training school and the correlation or the various public and semi-public health associations of the state, has . been announced by the university au thorities for the coming year. Inasmuch as these groups thus far have been unorganized for co-operative effort, it is felt that much better results could be accomplished through organized effort, and to that end the university will constitute. In effect, a clearing house for the furthering of the public health programme. "The University of Oregon is deeply interested in the broad general health programme which is developing in many directions in this state," said P. Li. Campbell, president of the uni versity. "Oregon has every opportu nity, on account of its climate, its economic conditions and the high level of intelligence of its population, to rank first among the states of the union in the general health of its people." Definite Programme A'eeded. The state is in great need of a def inite health programme, and it is the aim of the University of Oregon, through its present scheme, to pro vide this much-needed plan, accord ing to Dr. Richard Dillehunt, dean of the university medical school. The most prevalent diseases in Oregon at the present time are cancer and tu berculosis. According to the statis tics of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society of Oregon, 10 per cent of the yearly deaths in the state are caused by tuberculosis, which means that about 600 or 700 fatalities result from the white plague in Oregon yearly. Can cer is the cause of the death of one man out of every ten and one woman out of every eight, more than 40 years old. in the United States. Leprosy and goiter also are diseases which the medical profession has not as yet completely mastered. The social element in these dis cases plays a very important part, and public health depends on the so cial and economic status, says Dr. Dillehunt. In this connection the school of sociology, which is the only school of its kind in the northwest, does its work. It conducts a post graduate school for nurses, fitting them to become county health nurses. Sinn Ferret Out Afflicted. These nurses find the indigent sick and crippled and provide care and treatment for them. Dr. Phillip A. Parsons, head of this school, stated that the demand for health nurses was much larger than the school could furnish. The Portland extension division, which ' acts as a central bureau for the various health societies through out the state, co-operates with the state board of health, social hygiene society and numerous other organiza tions relating to the health of the people of Oregon. "Hope of the elimination of disease comes through scientific research in laboratories. Research has been the source of practically everything the medical practitioner has available, said Dr. Dillehunt. "The University of Oregon school of medicine, the only school of its kind in the northwest, is contributing to the general health programme by scientific research in its laboratories, proaucing wen trained physicians and surgeons, and by direct ministration to the sick and crippled. In the free dispensary, maintained by the medical school, 6000 persons were treated last yeaz A well baby clinic also has been es tablished, where the mother may take her baby to be examined to determine its health progress, without charge. Crippled Children Are Aided. Under the crippled children's law 40 children received free treatment last year by the medical school. The majority of these children were re stored to normal physical condition by surgery. The state health organizations long have been carrying on health work in certain diseases, but there has been need for a hospital in which to treat the unhealthy children. It is to this end the medical school is working. Research in the relation of certain foods to disease in children is being conducted in the medical school lab oratories at the present time. Also, a survey is being made to determine the status of research in the cause of cancer. Dr. Harry Beal Torrey, head 'of the university school of zo ology, is working along this line. University medical school authorities are studying the cancer from a new viewpoint, in an effort to find a -cure. Annual Fund for Research. E. S. Collins, local lumberman, has givtfn the medical school an annual fund of 900 to carry on research in dietetics. Diphtheria and other in feet io us diseases occupy a large place in the research work. Dr. Dillehunt said that if the cause of cancer could be ascertained the time and money of the medical .school would not be wasted, so great is the importance of LAYVBEXCE SCOTT HERSHXER OF HOOD RIVER MOUKNED.

He was a student betterment of the western states aside from politics. The democrats view with alarm the overwhelming republican control or congress, judging from the tenor of resolutions adopted by the Jackson club, and in addition to calling for the statewide conference, the resolu tions say that matters of grave im nnrtH nr to ttlA TIAOnle of this State and nation win be up ror couBm tion at the next sessions of congress and of the legislature. Republicans Are Rapped, The resolutions take a wallop at the republicans thusly: Whereas, the rights of the people can only be preserved by constant vieilance against encroachment by thos who seek to use tne anairs ui state for nersonal gain; and. Whereas, the congress 01 tne United States, in both branches, is in the control of one political party ana the leeislature of this state by an overwhelming majority Is controlled by this same political party, with out small minority representation, a con ditinn that is not conducive to the welfare of the people of any country therefore," etc., the call for a state wide conference has been sent forth. While the call does not so specify. some of the democrats in .Portland intimate that the conference will resolute about development of the wesit and the obtaining of greater aid from congress for the group of west ern states. Similar conferences are to be called in California, Washing ton, Idaho and Montana, and possibly in Nevada and Arizona. Grave Danger Seen, The "great constructive programme of the last eight years is in danger," warns the call of the conference, and the republicans are accused of plan ning to amend the federal reserve act. the farm loan act, the non partisan tariff commission act and to relieve large corporations from much of the taxes imposed, placing of thA ITnivArsitv nf Clrfvvn frtf tVia next three years, having been presi- the burden on the farming and labor- dent of the student body association ng classes. during his last year.
