HE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON. TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 13. 192S DE KLE1NE WRITES OF FLOOD BELIEF Value of Health Education In Mississsippi Valley Shown In Article FOUR TRAIN DOGS FOR BYRD ANTARCTIC TRY An Interesting account of some of the relief work in the area swept by the Mississippi flood of last spring la contained In an article written by Dr. William DeKleine. director of the Marion county health demonstration, in the Feb ruary Issue of the American Jour nal of Public Health, monthly publication of the American Pub lie Health association-with which the director Is affiliated. Dr. DeKleine was loaned by the health association to the Ameri can Red . Cross last summer and spent August and September as acting medical director during the' Ulne3S of the Red Cross director. Dr. W. R. Redden. Dr. DeKleine's article. "Recent Health Observa tions In the Mississippi Flood Area," Is accordingly a treatment of that which he saw while on 'duty, most of his time haying been , spent in the flood district. The Red Cross opened more than 100 refugee camps imme dfctely following the disaster which affected 92 counties in the six, states of Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas. Tennessee. Mississippi and Louisiana and provided clothes, food, shelter and medical and nursing care for more than 600.000 people, the article points out. Over 50,000 people will be cared for until the spring of the present year. "The concentration of so many people in the refugee camps neces sitated the closest supervision and regulation of camp life in order to avoid outbreaks of smallpox, tyJ phoid fever, and other communi-i cable diseases. The very crude condition of some of these camps ' made this problem all the more difficult. The inundation of so large a territory with highly pol luted water presented the possibil ity of contaminating many of the public and private water supplies, and. indirectly, many food sup plies. It was therefore urgent that drastic steps be taken imme diately to prevent typhoid and other intestinal infection and epi demics of the ordinary communica ble diseases," writes Dr. DeKleine in setting forth the problem of the health agencies. The rest of the article deals mainly with the steps taken to meet the situation and results observed up to the time the Marion county director left the field. The public health work was di rected and conducted by the state and local health departments, with the Red Cross medical service cooperating to furnish supplies and personnel when requested. : Physicians, sanitary, officers, nurs es and other public health workers were sent from 22 states, with volunteer nurses totalling 329. The immensity of the opera tions may be partially realized through glancing at a couple of paragraphs in the article: "More than half a million indi viduals were immunized against typhoid fever, and about 200.000 against smallpox. More than 200, 000 gallons of oil were used for mosquito control. Large quanti ties of quinine sulphate, estimated at 2 tons, were distributed and used for the prevention and treat ..r;nt of malaria. With the excep tion of typhoid vaccines, the sup plies were furnished almost en tirely by the Red Cross. "The Red dCross also financed an extensive screening program. More than 22.700 screen doors were constructed and installed and more than 25,000 windows were screened. It was intended that all homes of malaria carries should be carefully screened.

Many houses were screened in localities where they could serve as valuable object lessons. This screening program had perhaps even greater value as an educational measure than as a means of immediate control of malaria." The success of the public health control program is shown when the article points out that state health department records show "the incidence of typhoid fever, diarrheal diseases, in infants, smallpox, malaria and certain other communicable diseases was materially lower in the flood area during the period following the flood than it has been during sim ilar periods in the la.t five years." Figures quoted for Louisiana, typ ical of those in other states, show but 142 deaths from typhoid fever from January 1 to August 26, 1927, as compared with an aver age of 463 for the same period for the last five years, and 198 deaths from smallpox as compared to an average of 713.4 for the five year period. Pellagra, a disease fostered by absence of certain food essentials in the diet, showed an increase! rv ceiving serious attention of Ameri can capitalists, and should get the hearty support of American gov ernment. It is proposed to build 10 fast steamers, closely resembling) the airplane carrier Saratoga, re cently completed for the American navy. These streamers would ply between an eastern American port, probably on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, and a port in England or Ireland. ! The steamers, sailing daily from! each side, would cross it in four,' days.

The World And All PV CHARLES P.PRtSCOtXl Ships and Airships We are soon to have trans-Atlantic mail service. Official an nouncement of mail contracts about to be let by the United States government to a British concern has been made. The Brit ish company will carry the mail aboard a great airship, and the charges for carrying will be high enough to make it possible for the enterprise to pay expenses. An air ship costs a lot of money, and to overhead on airship mail service will be high. As an American, I receive this news with mixed feelings. I am proud that oar British friends have advanced so far with aerial plon eerlng that they are able to offer friendly co-operation. But I feel a distinct sting of disappointment because the Americans did not get the trans-Atlantic mail going first. Three or four years ago I heard good deal about dirigibles that were to come out of Akron, O., bigger and better than any others In the world. German workmen and engineers, who know more about airships than any other peo ple, were headed toward Akron to carry on the work, under Amer ican encouragement and American proprietorship. I hop those air ships will yet come out of Akron In great flocks, and I hope that! the Acnerican government will be The Arlington Construction com pany Jjas filed articles in the state corporation department.

(AP) William Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, has written Senator Borah. Idaho, that "the obligation, if any." for res titution of the $160,000 which Harry F. Sinclair contributed to the republican national committee in liZZ "is upon those who con ducted the transaction." "The hearing has not been con cluded and I do not propose to prejudge the case." Butler added. WASHINGTON (AP) Women of the army, the wives of officers and noncommissioned officers, have been consulted by the war department and as a result home life has been made one of the es sential considerations in the new army housing program. Bungalows and attractive two story two-family dwellings of Spanish tile roof design are the answer to suggestions for im proved quarters made by the army women. The wives vetoed sug gestions of apartment life with a central mess which some army de signers thought might appeal as more economical and suitable. - Present plans announced by Major General B. F. Cheatham, quartermaster general, call for re placement of emergency wartime construction, which ia still being use.d for officers' quarters at many posts. Wherever funds will allow offi cers of the grade of captain and below will be provided with a liv ing room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, one of which may be used as a study, and wher ever possible two bathrooms and a maid's room. Quarters for field and general officers will be provided with an additional bedroom and two bath; in all cases. Noncommissioned officers' quar ters will include a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bath. An effort is being made to place the houses away from the business section of posts so they may be assured a reasonable amount of privacy and attractive surround ings. The housing program calls for completion before 1930 of quar ters for 238 commissioned offi cers' families and 181 noncom missioned officers' families.
