SPONGE ABSORBS JEROME AT BELMONT i READY FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT TO BE IB SQUID JUblHL UIDtHdt CONTROL URGED - . . 1 O Organized Fight as in Other Communicable Ills Pro posed in Bulletin There is ample reason to be leve that control of venereal dis eases, which now cause more than a billion dollars loss annually and constitute a serious menace to the country, will follow a similar j path to that taken by diphtheria and smallpox. Such is word con tained in the weekly bulletin of the state board of health. Of veneial diseases, the state board's bulletin says: "It Is estimated that thirty per cent of the population of civilized countries hare one or both of these diseases. Furthermore the frequency is creator In youth. These diseases are not peculiar to the underworld although they keep these infections alive but the Infection spreads throughout the social fabric. Figures inlcate that the higher in the social scale one goes the more frequently are people stricken with these diseas es. The two principal classes, or the upper and middle classes are found to be most affected, miners and agricultural laborers are last on the list. "The importance of these dis eases, from the standpoint of pre vention is further emphasized by the peculiar relation to women, children, and the home. Domes tic dissolution Is often the inevi table outcome, and the horrors of their transmission to the second generation give them peculiar so cial importance. Public Support Needed in Fight "Knowledge of the cause, early recognition and treatment of these diseases Is sufficient to make their eradication possible. In spite of the enormous difficul ties of the problem there is every reason to believe ffiat these dis eases will follow diphtheria and smallpox. "The success of preventing dis ease depends ultimately on the public backing which It Is able to command. Complete knowledge of the measures of preventing dis ease is useless unless the moral support of the community is strong enough to demand action. "Information of ths public, by every means which our ingenuity can devise is the first step to pre vent these diseases. The organiz ed attack against these diseases as a health problem is a little over decade. What has been accomplished in this time? Al most every city capable of sup porting a full time health officer and undertaking a well rounded health program has now as an in tegral part of the communicable disease plan, measures directly toward the control of these dis eases." COLFAX, A Wash., Sept. 24. (AP) Orvllle Grossett, 19. held in connection with the fatal shooting of Mrs. Robert Warner, 28, the wounding of her husband and the burning of two barns, told officers Tuesday he had been "quite intimate" with Mrs. Warner, an aunt by marriage. An Inquest into Mrs. Warner's death was called by Deputy Pro secutor S. R. Clegg for one o'cloek tomorrow afternoon. Gros sett denied he did the shooting and offered an alibi which was supported by his mother. Mrs. Warner died in Spokane this morning, 12 hours after a charge from a 18 gauge shotgun pierced her right groin. Almost her last statement was "Tell Or ville I still love him." Asked if she had a message for her hus band, whose "body was peppered by shot from a second charge, she said "No," and then died. Blackberry Mite Causes big Loss In Gervais Crop According to the Gervais Star the blackberry mite disease caus ed Senator Sam Brown ot Gervais a loss of 26,000 oa his berry crop this year. This berry disease did a lot of damage through the ber ry patches especially in the north end of the county. Senator Brown was prepared for a successful sea son because he had installed an irrigation plant and could water his berries. The state market agent bulle tin described the pest, as previ ous bulletins from the state col lege investigators have, as the blackberry mite (eriophes gracil is), a common California pest of the Himalya and Evergreen va rieties. It prevents the berry from maturing and gives It a bit ter taste. The antidote is a lime sulfur solution applied when the " leaf buds open n early spring.

Frankel of Portland and Mrs. William Belfl of Roseburg, tor question to be answered and to offer comments. For the first time there were three judges for the ar exhibits this year. These were Prof. Her man Bohlman, Miss Townsend, and Mrs. N. H Thomas, all of Port land. Mrs. Charles Cleveland was In charge of the china exhibits. The entries in the china depart ment have been twice as large as previous years This is true for all entries by about one third. Many odd things are on display this year in the art department.

The entries are valuable for they indicate to those in charge a need for new divisions for entries next year, and they also indicate to ob servers the new things that are being done in art. A lack of school exhibits this year is to be deplored in the art department. It is hoped that they will again be in evidence for the next fair. : There are less professional oils in the art department this year because of the big exhibit of art ists to be held in Portland in Oc tober. Any one having exhibited a picture in another fair will be barred from this exhibit. - Salem and Portland divided the majority of the prizes in art. : An interesting second prize is the picture painted by P.

MILLINGT0N, Vice-President and General Manager of Fir-Tex Insulating Board Company: Tor a year and a half we studied every possible plant site in the Northwest. We sought three essential things raw material supply, steady power supply, satisfactory power rates. Raw .material was available in many places. But in St. Helens we were sure of fair power rates and power service which the municipal plants of other cities could . not give us.w In Oregon we have hundreds of highly intelligent men and women who wipe away tha fog of prejudice and think clearly about civic problems.

LJVESLEY, Mayor of Salem : 1 agree that in theory the idea of the public owning and operating electric power utilities is feasible. But we live in a practical world and politicians are never more than temporary officials. They lack the specialized business training, the sheer executive ability to be safe with the millions of dollars involved in highly technical public utility operation. "They must forget the favor of voters and be guided by economic principles, and my observation is that we have not yet reached that stage of strength in human character. "Of course, there is always a chance for a politically owned and operated electric power utility being a success, but ft is my idea that the odds are decidedly against it" ..-,.-V -."-1 "V r : f' ... i r 1 " f-k at1' SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.
