PARA-TYPHOID GERM BLAMED FOR POISONING Portland (IP) The germ which caused the epidemic of illness at Reed college Wednesday was iden tified Friday by Dr. William Levin of the state board of health as para-typhoid.

Dr. Levin explained that para typhoid Is a "first cousin'' of ty phoid although the former rarely causes death. It, however, nearly always causes violent Illness such as experienced by more than 100 students and faculty members a few hours after the noon meal Wednes day. All of those afflicted with the ill ness had recovered Friday. Dr. Levin said the germ might have been carried by rodent or hu man and that the spore of the germ is exceedingly tough and will live Indefinitely. A rat carrier of the germ might have come in contact with some ingredient of the food eaten, he said, or possibly a human who was unknowingly a carrier of the germ might have unconsciously done the same thing. Possibility that the epidemic might have been a student prank carried further than the potential pranksters intended, was discounted entirely by Dr. Levin. POINTS WAY TO PROSPERITY Cleveland, O.
