patients could be accommodated,
a central place, and have their
m physicians.
Major Merle Smith and others

ganizations combine and purchase

to a municipal and county hospital,

It is urged by the promoters, who
irsonaliy have nothing to gain by

moved upon a lot owned by the
ty, and that it could be remodeled
a small cost and made to answer
e requirements of a hospital, and
us be put to some good use.
The matter is worth investigating,

OREGON GOITER STATE,
SAYS NOTED PHYSICIAN
By Frederick D. Stricker, M. D.
The fact that Oregon lies in a re­
cognized goitre district is not fully
appreciated. This is probably due to
the fact that no specific attempt has
been made to appraise the public and
profession regarding its prevalence.
The only available, reliable data
that is state-wide in significance is
that contained in the published report
of the war department. These records
apply only to young men between the
ages of eighteen and thirty-one, but
knowing the goitre ages, and the re­
lative frequency in males and females
we can deduct therefrom fairly re­
liable information. From these draft
records it was shown that 26.31 men
per thousand examined from Oregon
had simple goitre. This rate being
the highest for any state with the
single exception of Idaho with a rite
of 26.91 per thousand.
Simple or endemic goitre develops
most commonly during fetal life,
around the age of puberty, and during
pregnancy. Simple goitre is two to
three times more prevalent in females
than males. Using the draft records
as a criterion and considering all ages
and both sexes the rate of endemic
goitre in Oregon must be around 40
per thousand population.
“Simple goitre,” states Marine and
Kimball, “includes all those thyroid
enlargements in man and animals
formerly grouped as endemic, epidem­
ic, sporadic and physiologic. It must be
sharply distinguished from ex­
ophthalmic goitre, with which it has
no necessary association or etiologic
relationship.
Exophthalmic goitre,
so far as is yet definitely known, oc­
curs in all animals having the duct­
less thyroid. Exophthalmic goire is
not naturally associated with dist­
ricts, while with simple goitre this is

most characteristic.”
“The ultimate cause of simple goit­
re is totally unknown, notwithstand­
ing a relatively large amount of
study. The immediate cause is lack
of iodin. The enlargement, herefore,
is a symptom and may result from
any factor which increases the iodin
needs of the organism, as in certain
types of infection, or which interferes
experimental deprivation of iodin.
The conception that it is due to a
contagium vivum in the sense that
this term is ordinarily used may be
abandoned. Water has been associ­
ated as an etiological factor by all
peoples as far back as history goes.
If water is a factor, it would seem
that it is the absence of, rather than
the presence of some substance, which
is to be considered, since goitre is
associated with the purest of waters,
chemically and baeteriologically, as
for example in Portland, Oregon, or
in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington,
where there has been a rapid increase
in goitre since those cities began
taking their water supplies from the
Cascade mountains. After consider­
ation of all the various substances,
agents, and theories that have been
put forward as having a role in the
etiology of goitre, we at present
must fall back on the view that thy­
roid hyperplasia (goitre) is a com­
pensatory reaction arising in the
course of a metabolic disturbance and
immediately depending on a relative
or an absolute deficiency of iodin.”
Diagnosis should not be dificult in
an area where the conditions is en­
demic. Any tumor in the thyroid re­
gion connected with the trachea,
arisng and fallng with swallowing,
and with a soft consistency is prob­
ably goitre.
The immediate cause of simple
goitre being the total absence of, or
the deficiency of iodin, the prevention
of the condition is relatively simple.
“If every woman would keep her thy­
roid saturated with iodin during every
pregnancy, she would not develop
goitre, nor would there be any tend­
ency toward goitre formation in the
thyroid of her child. This would
save two of the goitre periods in the
life of any individual. Then if every
girl would keep her thyroid saturated
with iodin during adolescence, that is
from the age of eleven to sixteen in­
clusive, none would develop goitre.”
For the prevention of goitre 10
milligrams of iodin in the form of an
organic iodide is given once each
week throughout the year.
We feel that the maximum good
would be gained by applying the prin­
ciple of goitre prevention to girls as
a public health measure. This can
best be done through our public and
private school organizations, and ed­
ucation on this subject will insure ap­
plication of this method of goitre pre­
vention in latqr life. The prevention
of goitre during pregnancy depends
upon the medical profession, and the
education of the people as a whole.
Each family physician and obste­
trician should make this an important
part of the routine care of every
patient.
PORTLAND-MADE TIRES
According to Alfred A. Aya, vice
president and sales manager of the
Columbia Tire Corporation, the motor­
ing public is swinging back to the
buying of better grade tires. Mr.
Aya has had exceptional opportuni­
ties to study this phase of the tire
business during the last few months
as he has covered 12,000 miles
throughout the Northwest calling on
dealers who handle C-T-C Tires, the
product of his company.
“During the last three or four
years,” says Aya, “ there has been a
marked tendency for the motorist to
“try out” one make of cheap tire
after another in his effort to dodge
the rising prices of that time. Now,
partly because he is ‘fed up’ and
partly because the prices have re­
duced somewhat he is gradually re­
turning to the practice of buying
quality tires. We feel that the C-T-C,
a tire bidding for popularity on qual­
ity alone, although no higher than
any other good tire in price, will
ride into immediate demand on this
wave of better tire buying. The Col­
umbia Tire Corporation has practi­
cally completed its distribution in
Oregon and has, as well, strong deal­
er connections in almost every large
city from San Diego to Seattle.”
It has also been announced that
the Canal Tire Company, one of the
largest houses in Seattle has discon­
tinued three nationally known tire
lines to handle the C-T-C Tiie ex­
clusively. Since the sales develop­
ment work of the Columbia Tire
Corporation has been carried on less
than a year, this wide distribution
and the complete "coverage” of the
territory is regarded as a splendid
achievement by local merchandising
authorties. Mr. Aya states that there
are 328 dealers in Oregon alone who
are looking forward to a big year in
1924 for this new product of Port­
land.
H. J. Nelson, who handles C-T-C
Tires in Tillamook, say that they have
already found a most cordial recept­
ion for C-T-Cs on the part of local
motorists and that they are well
pleased to see that tire buyers are
learning to recognize the great mar­
gin of quality permitted by the west­
ern manufacture of these tires, due
to savings on transportation, power
and overhead.
INAUSPICIOUS WEDDING DAY
On Monday last Walter A. Rodgers
and Georgia D. Boatman of Hebo,
started to Tillamook with Scott Boat­
man and wife and two others in an
auto, the object of the trip being to
get married. All went well until the
wedding party arrived at the Lamb
corner, when the auto skidded on the
turn and threw all the parties out.
Arriving in his city, the services of
the County Judge Mason were se­
cured, and armed with a license, the
couple, undaunted by the untoward
incident of the accident, were married
in the clerk’s office. The bevy of
good looking deputy clerks ceased
their efforts for the moment, and list­
ened with rapt attention to the magic
words that made “two hearts beat as
one.” While the superstitious may
regard the accident as a bad omen, it
is to be hoped that such will not be
the case, and probably, it will not.
