Federal Investigator Is High in
Praise of State's Efforts to
Care for Injured Workmen.
Salem, 8ept. 25. Oregon leads the
world ' In the matter of workmen'
compensation, according to William
A Marshall, chairman, and Will T.
Kirk, member, of the Oregon state
Industrial accident commission, who
returned Saturday from San Fran
cisco, where they attended the ses
sions of the national convention of
industrial accident commissions,
ferecon's statu In workmen's compen
sation, . the Oregon commissioners ex-
pllln, is based on a comprehensive sur
vey completed by Carl Hookatedt, spe
cial Investigator for the United States
department of labor statistics, covering
al) states which operate with a' state
xunn.
: (The Oregon fund, according to Hook
stsdt's report to the convention, has the
best record In point of service, provid
ing more . efficient payment of claims,

!!' rate of administrative cost.
In a tent covering a period of six
weeks it has been shown that at the end
off that period only 19 per cent of claims
presented were unsettled it) states op
erating under an exclusive state fund,
whereas 20 per cent were unsettled in
states In which mutual companies con
trol the compensation situation and 22
per cent In those states having competi
tive funds.
jThs exclusive state fund was shown
to be the cheapest In point of administra
tive cost, with an sverare of 7V4 per
ce(it of the premium Income consumed in
expenses under this type of compensa
tion an against 12V4 per rent under the
competitive state funds, 20 per cent un
6(jr mutual companies and 37 Vi per cent
urtner the stot-k company arrangement.
(Jnder the exclusive state fund as ef
fective In Oregon there is no problem,;
ni squabble, no long drawn out hear
ings, no waiting for the Insurance com
piles to make payments, according to
Hookntendt's report, 'which points to
thfae experiences under other-forms of
industrial Insurance as decided disad
vantages in comparison with the Oregon
system.
Oregon was also pointed out an lead-
jilnj the other states of the union In
the matter of vocational rehabilitation.

' adopted advanced methods In the care
of! workmen Injured In Industries, which
otfier states are beginning to give con

Carp - sucker, apparently unique
croew, found by nelners. JLower
picture shows head with small hole
Instead of mouth.
From the watery depths of the Colum
bia slough, a mouthless fish of hybrid
species defined by John Oill as a cross
between a carp and a sucker, was seined
by government fishermen last week.
The fish had a small opening beneath
its eyes which It probably used as a
means of getting nourishment It was
too slender for a carp, being shaped
more like a sucker, but, its fins were
carp. Its eyes were deep sunken,
whereas the eyes of both carp and
sucker bulge outward.
Many peculiar fish have been found
In Columbia slouch In the past, but
never haa one been captured without a
mouth.
Rate Advances in
Oregon Are Illegal
Unless Authorized
Salem. Sept. 25. Public utilities in
Oregon cannot advance their rates or
charges without a public hearing before
the public service commission and an
order from that body authorizing the
increase, according to an opinion pre
pared by Attorney General Brown.
'It la apparent that If the rates pre
scribed by the commlnslon may be abro
gated by the utility filing a new sched
ule the force and effect of the commis
sion's order amounts to little." the opin
ion holds. "It seems to me that as far
as rates which have been fixed are con
cerned the only way to change the same
Is by a suit in court or by a complaint
with the commission on the ground that
they are unreasonable or by original
complaint filed with the commission."

HOUSE BAClXG fKATCKED
The staging of the Multnomah County
fair the week following the State fair
nas made- possible the entry of the
choicest exhibits from every section of
the state, according to MInton. Like
wise it will enable the racing of the
fastest- harness and running horses at
the Oresham track. Heretofore these
fast horses passed up Gresham In order
to participate in the State ' fair races,
but this year many of the strings of big
circuit horses will be seen In action at
Gresham.
As an added attraction on the first
two days of the Mqltnomah County fair,
automobile racing has been provided.
This also is a new feature In Gresham,
made possible through the organisation
of a dirt track circuit In the Northwest
and the signing up of the fastest dirt
track drivers from throughout the
country.
AMUSEMENTS PLASXED
In addition to the racing features.
President II. A. Lewis of the fair asso
ciation is arranging for other stellar
high grade amusement features, which
he says are certain to attract large
crowds to the fair.
Attendance records established at
Gresham in the past are certain to be
shattered, according to President Lewis,
because of the large list of excellent
exhibits, a continuous program of
amusement features and also because
of the staging of the Manufacturers' and
Land Products show in conjunction with
the fair.
This show has always attracted the
public when held in Portland, because
of the extensive showing of Oregon-
made .products and this year the ex
hibits will be on a grander scale than
ever before, it is said.
The usual admission prices will pre
vail, despite the added attractions. Spe
cial transportation service will be .pro
vided by the railway companies during
the Gresham fair week to accommodate
the cowds who desire to visit the fair.

"Dentistry is fitted to cope with any dental ills that may
crop up. What' U. could and would do for the benefit of the
people at large has HERETOFORE BEEN A SEALED BOOK TO
THE GREAT MAJORITY. The need is great lor the general
dissemination of real information on the subject of the teeth.
ADVERTISING IS THE GREATEST FORCE IN MODERN AFFAIRS.
Why should its ureat powers not be utilized for the benefit of the
public in their dire need?"
That paragraph, taken from a full page advertisement in the
one Dental Magazine which has always "stood so straight it leaned
backward," shows that the great truth is slowly sinkine in.
A few years ago a statement such as that would have been
deemed unpardonable, and a magazine that dared to champion
dental advertising "would have lost most oi its subscribers.
It is good to have lived to see the things for which I have
been condemned adopted, or at least approved by .my erstwhile
critics.
Many years ago, in public announcements. I advocated:
(1) Sanitary. Dental Offices and complete sterilization of all
instruments.
(2) The abandonment of a fixed "fee bill" and 'an honest
charge for all dental work.
(3) Crowning and bridging teeth, whenever possible,
WITHOUT killing the nerve (devitalization) or removing all
enamel from the tooth.
(4)
(S)
Elimination of needless pain in alt dental operations.
The right to advertise honestly, without fear or favor.
