ing the scarcity of men in the mtlls

by the return of the men who left the
woods to work In the harvest fields.
"In the spring they anticipate a
great shortage of men, and believe
that many women can bo placed in the
mills to do the lighter work," he says.
"As much of this work is necessary,
women may take hold of it from a
patriotic standpoint, and many that
would not otherwise even do any w"rt
may take pride in helping out in an
emergency until the 'crisis is over."

gest Treatment for Diseased Men
and Women.
V ' '1
As a necessary war measure, both
Dr. Irving- Fisher of Tale and Joha
McCourt, special representative of 4he
war department, advocated strict quar
antine of men and women afflicted
with venereal dUease, in t their ad
drosses before the annual meeting if
the Oregon Social Hygiene society
Thursday evening.
They should bo Quarantined as
though they had smallpox," declared
Mr. McCourt, and. Dr. Fisher added
that tho quarantine should not only
bo exercised in respect to soldiers and
women camp followers but should ap
ply to all discovered cases among- ci
vilians as well.
Army Safest for Men
"Each) unrestrained, becomes a cen
ter of infect;on." said Dr. Fisher.
while Mr. McCourt ooined that a
measure of the kind good in war time
would be good as a permanent rule.
professor Norman F. Coleman, newly-
elected president of the society, how
ever, declared that the army ia safer
for the young man than civil life.
"Restrictive measures," he said, "will
not be effective unless there is within
a man tho will to live clean. The will
is within many of the youne men.
Quite generally the influence of their
officers is for wholesome living. The
buildings of the Y. M. C. A. at the
army camps are crowded with soldiers
who there find the wholesome atmos
phere and entertainment that fortifies
them from the temptations of vice."
Professor Coleman, who is stationed
at Camp Lewis, said that when he vis
ited the camp .hospital, those in the
venereal ward were civilians who had
never worn a uniform and never woull
because their disease had incapacitated
them.
Attendance Za Xargo
Speaking of tho war and what may
follow it. Professor Fisher used a re
markable expression.
"This is a war of humanity against
Qermanity," he said.
A large audience of prominent Port
landers who have carried on the worK
of the Social Hygiene societji in Ore
gon during tho past six years attend!
tho annual meeting and heard reports
which Indicated that part of the work
has been accomplished and progress
is being made in that which remains
to be done.

Showing Made Possible by
Heavien Loading of Freight

Race Riots Held Tip
War Work, Evidence
The lines of the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle railway system in Oregon
and Washington have made a record
in improved traffic conditions, accord
ing to a report issued by officials of
the system. An Increase of 84 per
cent in commercial tonnage during Juiy
compared with the same month last
year is shown, while an increase tt
23 per cent in freight Itrain miles ap
pears for the same period. The in
crease in the number of cars used was
only 26 per cent.
This showing was made possible, of
ficials say, by heavier loading of
freight cars and by prompter loading
and unloading on the part of shippers
and consignees. The average tons per
loaded car increased from 18.9 tons
in July, 1916, to 24.2 tons In July,
1917, an increase of 28 per cent.
They also show that the speeding
up of locomotives and cars aided very
materially, as evidenced by an in
crease of 29 per cent In tho average
miles of a locomotive per day ani
an Increase of 18 per cent in the
average miles per day of a freight
car. The percentage of cars in bad
order was reduced from 4.6 in July
1916. to 3.9 in July. 1917.
Officials of tbe S., P. & S. system
say that their lines are not now suf
fering from a shortage of cars. Tti-s
total number of freight cars in aerv
ce in July of last, year, as shown by
their report, was 1660 and for . the
same month this year 2089. At pres
ent the number of cars in service on
this system ia Sufficient for tho traf
fic, hut officials say there is a pos
ibility of a shortage during- ths
month of November.

New Rules Would Eliminate
All Objections of Lumber
men Is Contention.
W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of
the 8., P. & S. railroad, has received
notico that R. H. Countiss, agent of
the trans-continental freight bureau,
has applied to tho interstate commerce
commission for an amendment to the
lumber tariffs from this territory east
Tho amendment proposed would
change the minimum weight rules re
cently recommended by coast repre
sentatives of terminal lines. These
changes were urgently requested by
representatives of the various lumber
interests at conferences between-them
and representatives of the carriers the
latter part of September. While it is
understood that the new rules will
eliminate the undertaking on tho part
of the carriers to furnish cars of a
capacity under 2400 cubic feet, such
cars if furnished will be subject to
the minimum weights heretofore in ef
fect. The' new rules will remove all
of tho objections offered by the "lum
bermen to tho amended rules which
went into effect on September ?4
When tho latter were published tho
lumbermen protested to the Interstate
bommeree commission, and urged a
suspension of the tariffs. This was
denied by the commission, and ths
rules went into effect on tho data
stated. Conferences between tho car
riers and the shippers disclosed tho
fact that some hardships to the lum
bermen resulted, particularly In tho
case of pine lumber and" shingles.
These could not be loaded to min
imum weights required, and the new
rules, were decided upon as a result
It is believed the carriers will bo fav.
orably disposed towards reparation on
claims arising during the interim be
tween September 24 and the date on
which-tho new. rules may become effective.
