WRITER OF THE f S
TO FINAL
A clinic for the early diagnosis of
tuberculosis was held In the Sparrow
Memorial cllnlo In Medford Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week by Dr.
Q. C. Bellinger, superintendent of the
Oregon State Tuberculosis sanitarium,
under the auspices of the Jackson
County Public Health association and
the Jackson County Medical society.
The Importance of early recogni
tion and treatment was brought out
by this clinic. According to Dr. Bel
linger "tuberculosis Is a preventable
and curable disease. Early discovery,
prompt and adequate treatment gives
us the brightest outlook In the con
trol of tuberculosis."
During the two-day period, 48
children and adults were examined,
some of whom were old oases, some
arrested cases and several new active
cases found by the tuberculin testing
campaign. The clinic was part of the
early diagnosis campaign sponsored
by the Jackson County Public Health
association, which, began this spring.
Approximately 750 tuberculin tests
were done on the school children in
Phoenix, TMent, Prospect, Rogue River
and Gold Hilt. Those children show
ing positive reactions were X-rayed
Funds for the X-rays were provided
by the Public Health association in
those cases where the parents were
unable to pay for this service. These
funds came from donations and the
sale of Christmas seals.
The transportation of the children
for X-rays and examinations was fur.
nlBhed by the American Legion and
the American Legion Auxiliary. Many
trips were made to distant parts of
the county by this organization. This
Is part of the good work the Legion
is doing to aid In the fight against
tuberculosis.
Twenty-seven new cases of tubercu
losis were reported in Jackson county
last year with aeven deaths. "Tuber.
culln testing Is of great value, not
only in finding new cases of tubercu
losis," said Dr. Bellinger, "but also
Is the only method we have of deter
mining the degree of Infection In
any one group of people. For In
stance In testing schools It Is fre
quently found that one school has a
much higher degree of Infection than
normal. Investigation will ordinarily
disclose an open case Is infecting the
rest of the children. I understand
one of the Jackson county high
schools has over 40 per cent positive
reactors whereas ordinarily the posi
tives in the high schools In Oregon
should be around 18-20 per cent. It
has been since found that there Is a
high incidence of tuberculosis In the
milk cattle In that region and also
that a positive case of tuberculosis
was removed from the school last
year by your health department. In
other counties in the state similar
situations are frequently brought to
light by tuberculin testing."
It was also disclosed by Dr. Bel
linger that In Oregon the most deaths
from tuberculosis occur In men be
tween the ages of 40-50, rather than
In the age group 15-25 as in most
states In this country.

Julian Hawthorne once enjoyed s

Of his literary contemporaries, not

In Julian's heyday there was the
social lion, Edgar Fawcett, who wrote
sixty novels, and exclaimed that his

author frankly to confess that he

latter came to his trsnslently. Fifty
years ago he published a book ot

there Is very little of It that t shall

But he wrote msny volumes after

EDERAL RAIDER
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. July 14. (AP)
Lear B. Reed, agent In charge of the
department of justice here, was ar
rested today after the slaying of Mrs,
Desale Masterson, shot and killed in
bed during a raid by officers at her
home.
Mrs. Masterson, 44-year-old mother
of five children, was shot In the
head as she arose from the bed where
she had been sleeping with her 0-year-old
daughter.
Reed was arrested on orders from
John J. McCarthy, acting chief of
police, who said a complete investi
gation of the slaying would be made.
He was released on $5,000 bonds pend
ing the ooroner's Inquest Monday.
Bond of $5000 was required also for
Harry Newbold, St. LouU county dep
uty sheriff, who was a member of
the raiding party. Police said New-
bold was standing beside Reed when
the fatal shots were fired.
Police said Reed, heading the raid'
lng party, fired two shots through
the door of tho Masterson home last
night when the door was not opened
In response to his demand. The of
ficers were searching for the machine
gun used in the assassination May
12 of John C. Johnson, negro state
witness in the Dr. . Isaac D. Kelley
kidnaping case.
Reed said he fired after hearing !
shots In the house. The woman'a
husband, Harry Masterson, an unem
ployed laborer, denied he fired any
shots. Police said no weapons were
found In the house.
Masterson told police he did not
open the door "because this Is a bad
neighborhood and I thought you were
gangsters." He said he misunder
stood Reed's shout of "Police officers
open the door."
The raid, police said, was staged
under the misapprehension that a
police character known as "Jack" oc
cupied the dwelling. The Master-
sons had moved In only last Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, July 14. (AP)
NRA today created an Industrial ap
peals board for the special protec
tion of small businesses against mo
nopolies. Amos J. Peaslee, a New York at
torney, was named chairman, and
John S. Clement, a Philadelphia man
ufacturer, one 6t the other two mem
bers. The third member will be
chosen shortly.
The board, which will organize
August 1, was established In an or
der by Hugh S. Johnson. The offi
cial announcement did not say so,
but at NRA the new appeals court
was regarded as Johnson's way of
handling the monopolistic charges
against blue eagle codes which Clar
ence Darrow's review board originally
was named to do.
The Darrow board, which has
passed out of existence by president
Roosevelt's order, in three reports
said NRA was fostering monopolies.
The charges were denied just as vig
orously by Johnson.
