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.

Exactly 2.268 people passed
through the doors of the: arts div
ision in three hours Wednesday.
'e :
Many of these people wander
ed almleiwly through Just for a
place te "r. aader " Some, how
ever, walked slowly and looked
carefully, and came back to those
in charge, Mrs. G. J. 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.
To the right of the door as you
enter there is a large crayola done
en muslin by Mrs. Ella Trover ot
Corrallis, who entered : two of
these this year, the first time any
thing like them have been on ex
hibit. Mrs. Trover has never tak
en lessons In art.
Opaque and coo pal ting-. b
exhibit of each, are on display to
the right of the entrance door to
the art division. Both - are on
black cloth backgrounds and are
the first of the kind to be on ex
hibit. Another oddity is a piece of
tapestry on wool done In oil.
In the carved wood department
a sand blast on wood pictures the
Oregon trail. This hangs from a
beam to the right of the entrance.
A wroucht iron display enter
ed by H. Jaeger of Salem Is a
lovely piece of work. It hangs oa
the right wall
Just at the desk of Mrs. Fran
kel is a tea table for before a da
venport and a smoking stand
made of burned tile. Very expens
ive, new and lovely. i
Moss pictures also make a show
ing of Interest. These have been
entered before in the art depart
ment. All the above entries which are
new this year do not rate an
award but they do get ribbons.
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. J Ben

quarries of Coos bay from which
the rocks for the Coos bay jetty

Sept. 24. (AP) The army,

General Blanche said he had
received assurance of the loyalty
of the troops at Conception,
where General Enrique Bravos

tired army officers, had hoped to
start a revolution. General Bra

evidence of military conspiracy.
Assurance that tha government
was disposed to give the Ameri

A. E. 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. One after another

T. A. 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"
