NEW POLICY IN
DISEASE FIGHT
PROMISES WELL
Dr. O. C. Bellinger, superintend
ent of the state tuberculosis hospi
tals at Salem and The Dalles, has
returned from Jackson, Coos and
Benton counties where he has been
doing experimental work In tuber
culosis prevention. If this work,
which Is being done In collaboration
with the state tuberculosis associa
tion, promises success, It probably
will be adopted, Dr. Bellinger says,
as a new state policy, with the ob
ject of preventing the disease among
a large percentage of persons expos
ed to it, and to that extent reduce
the number who must be treated
after contracting it.
The plan of operation In any lo
cality Is to reach with the tests, as
many persons as possible who are
known to have come in contact with
the disease. These persons are
known largely through the records
at the state tuberculosis hospitals,
which show the family connections
of the patients. If tests indicate
symptoms of the disease examina
tions follow, and then treatment or
advlee if necessary.
Dr. Bellinger Is assisted in the
work by Miss L. Grace Holmes, who
is connected with the State Tuber
culosis association. In Jackson coun
ty, outside the city of Medford, 2000
persons were tested recently, includ
ing a large number of school chil
dren .In 65 of these cases Dr. Bel
linger followed with examinations.
In Coos county there were about ISO
tests and 35 examinations, and in
the city of Corvallis about 75 tests
and 23 examinations.
Dr.-Bellinger's work is not costing
the state anything except the con
tribution of his time. His expenses,
which are not heavy, are paid by
the state association from the mo
ney it derives through the sale of .
Christmas seals each year. Since
prevention work as a state policy
has worked successfully elsewhere,
notably Massachusetts and North
Carolina, Dr. Bellinger believes It
will in Oregon, and thinks he may
ask the next legislature tor an ap
propriation to assist in financing
the work.
As an Illustration of how the dis
ease may be acquired without the
victim knowing it Bellinger cites the
results of examinations at the Sa
lem Indian training school at Che
mawa last year. All the students,
over 700, were examined and x-ray
films made. These films were turned
over for reading to Dr. Bellinger by
the tuberculosis association. The
films showed that a number of t
Indian youths actually had lung In
volvement and did not know It.
Bellinger hs invited to go
In s-.y i.: further
also to the city of Med
1...J. which was excluded in the re
cent Jackson county tests. The work
Is in line with a national program
for tuberculosis prevention.
DAGGER

face, too, was long and gaunt, Its
slant eyes bright as an eagle's and
as cruel, his nose, which flared at
the nostrils, hooked In a predatory
beak.
One hand was hooked In the
sash of hU robe, revealing talon
like fingers, their tips encased in
the silver sheaths which had been
fashionable for men of rank under
the Empire. He was long, too, in
his legs, horseman's legs that
straddled beneath the skirts of the
robe. Behind him Dagger glimpsed
the hall full of officers in khaki, Mr.
Araki hovering: uneasily in their
midst. There was a glitter of sword
hilts and the electric bulbs shone
dully on the butts of holstered au
tomatics; but so far as she could
see, the tall man in the doorway
was unarmed.
He stared at her with a frank
Interest which reminded her of the
references in books she had read
to "Impassive yellow masks." And
the arrogance in his jet eyes was
minimized by the courtesy with
which he addressed her.
"I am Chang," he said. "It was
kind of you to tell me you had
come."

CHANG AIMS TO PLEASE
Chang spoke very slowly, as If
choosing his words, and his pro
nunciation was so perfect that only
the slightest singsong intonation of
his voice betrayed his race. But
what intrigued Dagger most was his
choice of the word "come. It was
as if he had expected her.
"Thank you for answering my
chit so soon, General," Dagger re
sponded. I dldn t expect a per
tonal call."
"You are the friend of my
mend." he returned.
He lifted a hand, and snapped a
short order over his shoulder, which
cleared the hall of all its occu
pants, including Mr. Araki.
"If I may, Mrs. Veneering?

hold, closing the door after him

"The cook who prepares my tea
accompanied me."
Dagger didnt know whether to
be honored or amused.
'But surely that wasn't neces
sary. General," she objected.
I have many enemies," he re
marked sentenlously. "In China
poison continues to be the final
resort of the defeated."
He dropped Into the chair she
indicated, contriving to invest the
act with an unusual degree of
grace and then, with the naivete
of a child, inquired: "Do I speak
your language well?"
"Very well," Dagger hastened to
assure nun. "As well as though
you had known it all your life."
He sighed, rather like a young
man who has Just received a note !
from his beloved.
Blaine Howard taught me that
Is, he began my Instruction. Other
teachers have followed him, but
none helped me so much as he. In
many other ways, also, I am fond
of him, Mrs. Vaneering."
You arc fond of him? she tX
ed, startled. i
He waved a languid hand, silver-1
tipped fingers glinting grotesquely.

I have aroused any ah old griefs.
But with me a friend never dies.
"That Is like what an old Budd-1
hist priest told me in India," she;
exclaimed eagerly. "He, too, was1
a friend of Blaine's.
"Ah, yes I The old lama of La
hore." Chang dismissed Oh u lam
Buk with another sweep of silver
tipped fingers. "I have heard of
him. Preacher of a creed of ab
negation. That Is not my belief,
Mrs. Vaneering. I have learned
from experience that a man wins
what he takes." I

Were he, his ambition would die,
and that having been the main
spring of his life, he would cease '
to have a reason lor living."
That is a material point of
view," Dagger protested. "Posses
sion is not everything."
I should hazard the guess that,
you, Mrs. Vaneering, possess much," I
he commented.
"True, yet "
'If you will permit me I I have
known what it Is to possess noth
ing beyond the barest necessities
and very little of those. The ex
perience is essential it you would
comprehend the realities of life."
The restrained dignity of his
manner impressed Dagger, and i
she remained silent as a knock on
her door ushered in several ser
vants carrying the materials for
tea on gorgeously lacquered trays. !
These they set upon a table, and !
withdrew, obsequiously. Chang rose,'
and poured hot water from a pot
a tiny, gilded brazier over the
leaves in a bowl, then strained off
the golden liquid into a second
bewl.
"This is essence of the gods if
there be gods," he said, presenting
it. "From my own gardens in the
South. Once it was reserved for
the Son of Heaven. Now, Chang
presents it to his friends."
The irony did not escape her.
"You have been very successful,
General," she answered: "but can
you be sure that success has meant
happiness to you? Would you not
have been happier, possibly, as a
coolie in those tea-gardens?"
"No," he retorted promptly, "lor
I am not so constituted."
"Blaine Howard wouldn't accept
your belief," she replied. "Nor
should I.
"That is true as to Mr. Howard,"
he agreed. "I offered him power
on a plane with my own. He would
not accept. The old lama had bent
his mind the other way."
"Ah, yes, the Way!"
"I understand," assented Chang.
"But do not be misled by the idea
There are many Ways nearly as
many as there are men, for no two
of us walk the same road."
I walk Blame Howard's road,'
she retorted proudly.
So? I should have guessed oth
erwise." He rose again, impressive
ly tall, regal, self-contained. "We
have much to discuss with each
other." For the tfirst time his
seamles yellow cheeks wrinkled in
a smile. "Those who disagree nave
most to impart and to learn. But
I do not think we shall really dis
agree." "Why not?" challenged Dagger.
"Because you are of those whose
feet seek the Way of Power," he.
returned. "And the man who

AGAIN TRADED
BY MOTHERS
Chicago lP) The Watkins and
Bamberger babies were in new
homes Wednesday, and three
lourths of the parents, at least,
thought they were the right homes.
The central figures in the famous
baby-swltchlng case were exchanged
Tuesday night alter Charles Bam

Watkinses were right in contending
the two families had the wrong ba
bies. .
Under the watchful eye of Dr.
Arnold Kegel, city health commis
sioner, Mrs. Bamberger handed over
the infant boy she has cared lor
for the last six weeks and Mrs. Wil
liam Watkins in turn gave her the
baby she bad christened a Watkins.
They undressed the babies, chang
ed clothing and exchanged formulae
for baby food. Both women kissed
both babies, wept a little, the whole
party shook hands all around and
the baby problem appeared solved.
But Watkins, returning from a
baseball game to find a new baby In
his house, threatened to tangle it all
up again. "They took advantage of
my wife," be said. "There wouldn't
have been any trade if I had been
home. How do we know which Is
which?" He said he might sue the
Bambergers, that the question of
parentage Is still before the courts.
The baby boys were born June 90

later when, on preparing to take
the babies borne, the parents dis
covered the name "Watkins" on the

"My glory," Dagger murmured to
herself, lapsing into the favorite
expression of Aunt Espy, as the
door closed upon the Tu-chun's tall
figure.
"Motah-car come," be announced.
Driver say Tu-chun sent it for

amused or annoyed, but on second
thoughts conluded that she must
make allowance for the customs of
the East, as well as for the fact
that Chang probably Intended the
gesture if she had entertained any
doubts as to the propriety of ac
cepting the Tu-chun's cou-'tesy, they
were dispelled when she discovered
the advantages of riding In one of

"But in my time I go, too," she
said.
"Not from Sung-fu so soon?" he
questioned.
"I came here to learn of Blaine

"I will tell you of him," he prom
ised: "and whatever Way you take
must be of your own choice."
She drew herself erect with a
touch of haughtiness.
"It Is not necessary lor you or
anyone to tell me so."
"Have I not said you were of
those whose feet sought the Way
of Power?" he replied, making no
effort to conceal the admiring light
in his narrow eyes. "You were
born to be a Princess, Mrs. Vaneer

Kings."
He strode to the door before she
could think of an answer.
"Oh, your tea things," she cried
after him.
He bowed on the threshold.

75,000 MILES
IN A
MODEL A FORD
Letter from salesman
shows reliability and
economy of the ear
IN THE past two years, many new Fords have been
driven 50,000, 75,000 and even 100,000 miles. Every
where the car has made an unusual record for relia
bility and economy. Following is a letter from a sales
man who travels long distances daily by automobile.
"I purchased a Model A Coupe May 8, 1928, and at
this writing have run it 75,888 miles.
"After I had driven 44,400 miles, I spent f 15.08 in
repairs and at 61,000 miles had an additional amount
of work done costing $25.60. My tire mileage has
averaged better than 18,000 miles.
"I am a traveling man and my territory is from
northern Virginia to Macon, Mississippi, and from
Knoxvillc, Tennessee, to the Atlantic Ocean."
Similar tributes to the new Ford come to us daily
from individual owners, from. Federal and City;
Bureaus and from large industrial companies having
fleets of several hundred cars.
They have found, as you will find, that the low
cost of operation and up-keep on the Ford is even
more important than the low first cost of the car.
In twenty, thirty, or fifty thousand miles, this sav
ing frequently amounts to hundreds of dollars. The
quality that has been built into the car is reflected
in its good performance and long life.
See the Ford dealer and have him take you for a
demonstration ride in the new Ford. Give it a severe
test in traffic, on steep hills and on the open road.
Check up on comfort, safety, speed, power, accelera
tion. Talk with Ford owners and experienced garage
men and note what they say about reliability and
economy.
Then you will know, from your own experience,
that the new Ford brings you everything you want
or need in a motor car at an unusually low price.
