WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON NEWSPAPER SEEKS RIGHT TO RADIO STATION Washington U The radio com mission Tuesday heard what was regarded as a test case to deter mine the rights of newspapers to engage In broadcasting competition with existing community stations. The Sun-Gazette ot Wllliamsport. Pa., publishers of the WiLliatnbport Hun and Gazette and Bulletin, open ed the question. An application of the company asked permission to operate a new station to share time with station WRAK. an existing station at Wll liamsport now operating on full time. The application wos opposed by the owner of WRAK. C. R, Cum mins. Ellslia Hanson, counsel for the American Newspaper Publishers association, said the case was con sidered by the national association a test to protect the advertising rights of newspapers. "We are Interested," lie told the commission, "because anyone hasi the freedom to enter the newspaper I business while radio stations are! more or less In a protected position , by the license they hold from the radio commission." i Cummins' chief defense was the! claim tliat the Pennsylvania char ter held by the publishing company limits It to newspaper publishing saying under state law the company has no right to engage in business except that authorized by its char ter. .

RENO'S STILLS KIT BY SLUMP Reno. Nev. (LP) To the tune of de pression Nevada's Illicit liquor bus' mess has danced "Home, Sweet Home" and many resorts that once ran nearly wide open now are op erating on meager scale behind closed, barred doors, according to George Brady, federal prohibition administrator for the state of Ne vada. There used to be eight or nine stills along each little creek around here," Brady said. "Now you can look all around and never find a still. Of course many of the streams are dry now. but even at that they just aren't doing the business." The state's dry chief believes that the depression hits all business, le eal and otherwise alike. He says "a lot of the boys are wondering where they're going to eat this winter and they aren't spending their money for booze." And as business In the speakeasies falls off so do custo mers have to speak easier to gain admittance. It was the prohibition adminis trator's claim that where formerly many of his aides could walk Into a bar and buy a drink before "knocking it over" they now were excluded becar.se they weren't known. DISEASE MENACE TO CHILDREN POINTED i - i I FRENCH BANKERS IN U. S. the young women of Sacred Heart academy, preceded by exposition of the blessed sacrament. A sermon by the pastor will be preached and the various bodies of the church will receive communion In the following order: first, the al tar boys' society will receive In the sanctuary, next the Sisters of the academy, followed by the men of the Holy Name society, the young ladies' sodality and Bt. Monica's al tar society, after which the congre gation generally will receive. At 10 o'clock there will be a low mass and benediction. After each mass the act of consecration to our Lord will be recited and the litany of the Sacred Heart. Communicable diseases are doubly dangerous to children. More than one-half of communlc able cases reported In Oregon occur In children, state health experts DOinted out. "The disease of Infancy and early childhood, particularly measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever and whoop ing cough, are Infinitely more ser ious than has been realized In the nest. Not only do they kill outright but leave In their trail consequences of the most unfortunate kind. Prom 50 to 75 per cent of crip pled children owe their condition to Infantile paralysis ana tuoercuiosis. Blindness, damaged hearts and kid neys, increased susceptibility diseases among children. -Modem, proved preventative measures are vaccination against smallpox and immunization against diphtheria. Both are absolutely con trollable. With application ot well established and scientifically sound rules for prevention of disease, the death rate from infant diseases is rapidly decreasing."

OFFICERS VEXED BY PRISON CELL LOCK PROBLEM Cells may be little things but they can be mighty troublesome. After ft full year of negotiations to purchase cell door locking me chanisms for a new block under con struction at the state prison, diffl- j cultles are still continually popping1 up. j Acceptance ot locking equipment just Installed in a demonstration set up Is problematical as adherance of the equipment to contract specifica tions is questioned, Secretary of State Hal E. Hoas said. Prison of ficials have indicated the equip ment does not fulfill a contract clause reading "by the use of a key at the celt door it shall be possible to release any single door or num ber of doors from the gang mecha nism." Recommendations made to the board of control by William Elnslg, secretary, advised that King Broth ers of Portland, manufacturers of the mechanism would have to buy royalty rights to Install locks that may be controlled Individually or collectively from the end ot a tier. Doubt was expressed that the com pany could furnish the required ma terial without a much greater ex penditure than for the present equipment which was to be installed for $19,883. Purchase of the locks for prison addition was Initiated a year ago when State Treasurer Kay, Gover nor Norblad and Hoss constituted the board of control. When Cover nor Meier took the chair, netsotla- Uoni with a San Antonio concern for the equipment were held In abey ance, Kay and Hoss not wishing to oppose the governor who wished to purchase the equipment from an Oregon concern. After Holman became treasurer, the order was placed with King brothers. 8teel fronts recently refused by the state purchasing agent as being too soft material have been re treated In Portland and are now be ing returned for installation in the new cell block. BOOKS LISTED FOR CHILDREN A list of children's books recently complied by the Oregon state li brary is gaining national attention. A request has been received from the Indiana state library asking per mission to send out copies of chil dren's titles as compiled by the Ore gon institution. The books cost a dollar or less. The South Dakota li brary commission also has made a request to buy copies of the Oregon list lor use in their state, Harriet C, Long, state librarian, announced. The Oregon list of low-priced books suitable for children was started some months ago In a mod est way to tabulate suitable school texts. Miss Long explained. With continued Investigation the list grew until It comprised 25 slngled-spaoed typewritten pages containing some 1,000 titles. Subjects included are fairy tales and folk lore, agriculture. animals, histories, stories, things to make and do, and variety of other classification. Girts of Scotland have a bagpipe- playing crate. SANITATION KEY TO CONTROL OF TYPHOID FEVER At the present time it can be said that typhoid occurs only when due regard is not given to sanitation, ac cording to a bulletin of the state health board. The typhoid death rates, therefore, are regarded as one of the most reliable indices of san itation and cleanliness. Typhoid fev er la primarily an intestinal Infec tion. The germ thrives mainly In the intestinal tract of humans and is acquired by ingestion of Infected excreta from either cases or car riers. It is one disease that can be prevented it everyone will cooperate in fighting It. It occurs in places where people are careless about sew age disposal and about keeping the water and milk supplies free from infection. It does not thrive in a community that Is willing to spend money to protect its citizens and that has an active and efficient health administration. Typhoid fever is spread both di rectly and Indirectly from patients and carriers. Water, milk, butter, cheese, and other milk products, oy sters and other shell fish, vegetables which are eaten raw, other foods, fingers and fomltes may serve as vehicles ot indirect transmission. The i il source of infection is man, and infections always arise through the entrance of the discharge of a case of typhoid fever or of a car rier into the body of another indi vidual. Every case of typhoid comes from someone's Ignorance or neglect Water -borne epidemics present cer tain definite characteristics. The epidemic occurring during the cold months rise to a peak and decline rapidly. Due to a rather direct trans, fer ot fresh virulent material the cases are severe. The cases are found distributed among the users of a given water supply and there is little regard for age or tea. Epidemiolog ical proof ot water as the source of typhoid epidemics rests on circum stantial evidence. It is difficult to isolate the typhoid bacilli from eith er water or milk. Since water sup plies have been largely improved, milk has probably been the most common cause in the transmission of the disease. It offers numerous opportunities for contamination. Milk is an excellent culture medium and even slight contamination be come massive in a very short time. Milk-borne epidemics can usually be traced to carriers, convalescents or ambulatory cases ot typhoid who have had some part In the handling of milk. A great number of foods may become contaminated by the fingers of persons who carry the in fection. Foods may also be contam inated by flies, as the typhoid germ can remain alive in the intestinal tract of the fly. Tyhold Is preventable in two ways, by stopping the spread ot the germ and by inoculation. The spread of the germ It prevented by the early diagnosis ot typhoid, isolation of the patient, and by the disinfection ot all discharge and all articles used by patient. Water, milk and food supplies must be properly safe guarded. All persons planning to travel in countries or spend vaca tions in places where sanitation la neglected should be inoculated against the disease. Suver Mr. and Mrs. M. I. Conger and daughter Florence are spend ing this week with their daughter, Mrs. Emma Bennedlct of Vale. Mrs. Bennedict is a teacher of that com munity. GEHLHAR URGES MORE CARE IN EGG HANDLING Oregon egga certainly suffer by comparison with those ot other states. Max Oehlhar, state director of agriculture said. This stats produce only 23 per cent marketable eggs, Utah for In stance, with natural conditions not . to favorable, hat 50 per cent mark etable," Oehlhar commented. "Ore gon's poor showing lie in Improper handling, which makes it necessary to tell Tl per cent of the output In eide the state." With a standardization campaign under way, an educational campaign will soon be inaugurated by the ex tension division of the stats agri cultural department to acquaint pro ducers with correcting handling handling methods, Oehlhar said.

(LP On the Cherokee Indian reservation, on Okoneeluftee river. 10 miles from Bryson City, in the Great Smoky mountain national park, there live some 3,000 Cherokee Indians. This tribe has a great history and has done much in the pio neering of America. During the Revolution they fought with the English. In the war between the states, they fought with liie Con federacy. Four h undred f i ght ing braves were in Thomas' legion, commanded by Colonel William H. Thomas. The outstanding achievement of the tribe was the creation, of an alphabet, or syllabary, by one of their tribe, Sequoyah. Sequoyah's statue is now in the statuary hall in Washington. Due to encroaching of white men and the great western move ment, this little baud was forced to separate In 1837-38. Then the federal government thought they should be moved to what was then the Indian territory (Oklahoma) The Indians rebelled, but General W Infield Scott, with an armed force and orders from Washing ton, soon sent them on their way. It is said that many of the Indians died on this Journey, many of them from . starvation, exposure ana disease. DRY AGENT HAS SNAKE STORY Cheyenne, Wyt. njTas have been told of the snakes which drive dlspsomanlacs from their beds, and when a state law enforcement of ficer complained here recently that he had been troubled in a similar manner, there were many smiles. R. J. Allen, Wyoming's state law enforcement com m issloner. accom panied by two federal prohibition agents, was searching for an illicit distillery in the mountains near here. The party came upon a trapp?r's cabin, where they believed the still tender lived. The occupant was not at home when the officers arrived. so they built a roaring fire and sat down to wait. Night came, so they decided to spend the night at the cabin. The large room became too warm and they opened the door which led into a small room. Some time during the night, Al lan awoke to find snakes crawling all over him. An examination re vealed that the floor of the cabin was covered with the gliding rep tiles. Alien awoke his companions. They fled. The trapper returned the next morning and explained that he had captured the snakes and intended to convert them Into snake oil, wide ly used In liniment. The pile of wood in the adjoining room In reality was a pile of snakes, which, stiffened by the cold, looked very much like wood. State Ward Taken Back to Institute Independence Oscar Cassiday was picked up here on the river bank a tew days ago and held tor tbe feeble-minded institute near Salem. Officers were notified and came at once. He It 34 years of age and has been at large for a couple months wandering from place to place. He has been a state ward for the past 14 years.
