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.

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.

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.

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.

INDIAN TRIBE
AIDED PIONEERS
Bryson City. N. C. (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.
