ESTABLISHED 1873 STATE PURCHASES NORTH DAKOTA YOUTHS BECOMING TO COOPERATE Dr. Whittemore Tells Duties of Officials in Address at Conference SESSION ENDS TODAY} Organization Is Formed and Officers Elected at Meet- ing Last Night Health officers from all parts of North Dakota gathered here in their first annual conference, called by Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state’ health head, were asked by that officer to cooperate with each other, the field representatives of the departments and the civic and women's clubs of their district, for the advancement of the public health. Speaking on “What Should Be Ex- pected from the. County Board of Health and its, Health Officers,” Dr.| Whittemore declared that medicine} “should be divided into two great classes: corrective and preventa- tive.” ’ “Public health is concerned prin- cipally with the preventative d sion,” ‘he said. “And nt publie, heaith authority should ever, or very seldom assume any of the preroga- Yives of these in the field of, treat- ‘ent.”. The health officers, he add- ed, should turn all cases over to the; family doctor that gq beyond the| investigatory and preventative du- ties of the health department. | Dr. Whittemore detailed, for the; health supervisors present, the laws/ regarding public health and the con- stitution of public health boards. These boards are composed of the; county attorney, the county superin-| tendent of schools and a doctor of medicine appointed by the county commission. This appointed mem- | ber is the secretary and executive! ‘head of the county health depart- ment. “He should be faithful to his duty, with a high sense of civic obliga tion and ‘community interests—in other words, a good citizen,” the alt, officer said. “The time which we have a right to expect the health officer to de- vote to the health work of the county depends entirely upon the a@mount the commissioners are willing to pay for it. x doctor should not be expected to give any more time than a ‘county commissioner should according to the compensation re- ceived, but every good citizen should feel it his duty to give something of himself to the state and commun- ity.” { Dr. Whittemore outlined salaries, approximate periods of work that) should be expected from this health officer, powers and duties of the of-! ficer and his reports, inspections | and other duties. : The state public health laboratory, part of the school of medicine at the state University, was explained to the health authorities by Dr. H. E-| French, dean of the University school of medicine. He ,declared that the services of the state laboratory “are a part of public health work and are primarily for the advantage of all health of- ficers and doctors of the state, but through these they are for every citizen.” Through this indirect ser- vice to the public, the laboratory has been and will continue to be a “larger factor in reducing both the! number of cases of disease and the! death rate from such diseases as{ typhoid, diphtheria, tuberculosis, in-} fantile ‘paralysis and wenereal dis- | eases.” In its first year, 1907-08, the lab- oratory performed 1826 examina~ tions, and its work steadily increased until in 1916-17 it did over 18,000 examinations and ever since thre} time it has averaged 16,000 examina- tions per year, he said. The laboratory head explained that the Bismarck, Fargo, ‘and Minot branches of the state laboratory. and the laboratory itself “are not com- peting agencies; each has its own field. Our object in having branch- es is to make the sefvice more prompt and efficient. Time is an! important element in diphtheria par-| ticularly, and an early and prompt report is desirable.” in March, -1925, the main labora- tory did 713 examinations; the Bis- marck branch 292; Fargo 519; Minot 667, a total of ‘2191,'the laboratory head said. “In addition to the examinations, the laboratory and branches pre- pare and send out outfits, contain. ers, etc., including. media for diph- theria cultures,” Dr. French said. | Every doctor in North Dakota should be in contact with this state laboratory, Dr. French said. “We can i e him and through him, the Peo) ; le that the state laboratory and its branches “welcome inquiries regarding water, water supplies and hygienic production of milk, from any citizen of the state,” and that “we would like to extend the s vice” to include “regular exami tion of the water and milk supplies of neighboring cities, similar to’ that we give to cities in which the labor- atory and branches are Mr. French ‘health office and kinds of tests mad laboratory. * Dr. M.

He added that ‘stall towns and thinly settled sections produce the healthiest ordinary men as well as the best athletes. “Men are too aesthetic,” in the opinion of Major Harrell. “It is not the fault of the young men that they do not possess strong bodies. It is the absolute lack of obstacles in their every-day life. Lincoln would never have been able to do the work he did if it were not for the work, trial and hardships he suffered when he was a young man,” said the Ma- jor. “If being mentally _‘sissified’ means evading ‘stiff’ courses and picking ‘soft’ instructors, then I do not believe the 20th Century young folks are ‘sissified’,” Dean Minard said. . “In fact I believe that the modern student works harder for and at his education. The number of men be- ing pushed through by tutors hired by their parents is noticeably small- er than in the days when I attended college,” he said. “Personal ambition is sending many to school from poor families who would never have thought of going to college several years ago. There are as many students going out of the prescribed lines of study to find out things for themselves in the subjects in which they are es- pecially interested now as there were in the days when personal re- search was one of the chief factors in college life,” concluded the dean. REORGANIZATION OF PROHIBITION UNIT IN PROSPECT (By The Associated Press) Washington, April 28.—A reorgan- ization of the prohibition unit is in prospect, assistant secretary Andrews indicated today, as a result ofta month's study he has given the bur- eau since he assumed office, Secretary Andrews did not disclose the nature of the-changes to be made but reiterated’ that commissioner Haynes will remain for the present in charge of enforcement. There was every reason to predict satisfactory coordination between Mr. Haynes and his own office, the assistant se- cretary declared. ND, PARENT ‘TEACHER BODY RATED FIRST To Be Made in Rural Sections of Nation Austin, Texas, April 28—A com- prehensive program of expansion in the rural sections of the nation, with North Dakota as the demonstration state, was approved late yesterday by the board of managers of the national congress of Parents and Teachers, in session here. Extension work in North Dakota which has been under way for a year will be authorized for four additional years, with the goal at the end of that time 100 per cent organization of parentsteacher as- sociations in all schools. Similar organization work in other states with large rural populations is planned because of the North Da- kota success, it was said. Newspapers encourage the less age,” Walter M. Splawn, presi- dent of the University of Texas, de- clared in an address tonight. President Splawn dwelt on what he called the supplementary educa- tional factors, which he identified as motion pictures, newspapers and mis- cellaneous clul and organizations. “The ne per,” he said, “comes to us with roaring headlines, with screaming announcements of some trivial incident, “The makeup, the methods, poli- cies and character of the average newspaper of our day make for rest- lessness, for carelessness***and for lack of confidence in the represen- tations of others. The “newspaper brings much of good and much of evil every day to bear on the indi- vidual. It is a powerful instrument in the education of the youth, though never designed as such.” MANDAN JUDGE HOLDS DISTRICT ” COURT HERE Judge H. L.

D. Association DR. HEDGER SPEAKS Well Known Chicago Woman Physician Gives Address at Session Today Gathered together from all over the state to learn of the advance- ments being made in their pr6fes- sion and to hear of the aims and work being done by their state or- ganization, almost a hundred mem- bers of the North Dakota State Nurses Association met this morning at the opening session of the thi teenth annual convention in the Mi sonic Temple and listened to the president's address and to talks by Dr. Caroline Hedger of Chicago an Mrs. Elsbeth Vaughan, R. N. of St. Louis. Following a musical program, Mrs, Harry E. Morris, R. N. of Jamestown responded to addresses of welcome by A. P. Lenhart, on behalf of the city of Bismarck, and by Dr. J. 0. Arnson, for the Sixth District Medi- cal Association. Miss Edith B. Pier- son, R. N., of Fargo, then delivered the’ annual presidential address. « “There is much for us to gain,” she said, “by the renewing ot. per- sonal acquaintances and the intimate knowledge that is received by small- er group conferences, as well as from learning of the advancements in our profession, And what ad- vancements are being made! We no longer think of the patient’as some one to bring back to safety and then to be forgotten. Everywhere nurses are learning that in order to help him most we must think of and in- vestigate the social and the economic circumstances, as well as the physi- cal circumstances that involve the sick. iY “I trust, too, that we have come to know what the State, Association has been doing and what you may do for it. Early int the year the directors adopted as part of the program, plans to increase membership in the State Association, increase attend- ance at our State Conve; yn, stimu- late local organization, and ‘encour- age state registration. We are not satisfied with the results and ask your assistance in stimulating these projects for the coming year. “We are grieved too that the peo- ple of the state, as represented by the legislators do not see the value of better education for our nurses, This is something that must come, and we as an Association shall havé to continue to labor in that direc- tion, knowing that first the people! must be educated to the true concep-| tion of the place of the nurse in her community.” Dr. Caroline Hedger of Chicago, who is the principal speaker at. the two-day session of the annual con-| vention, also gave an address this, morning on “Positive Health.” “I am not at all satisfied with the standards of health in the nursing profession,” said Dr. Hedger, em- hasizing her major interest in health for nurses. “You have all had a tremendously expensive education; so expensive, in fact, that a number have broken down in health during the process. From $1,100 to $1,300 a year. it is estimated, has been ex- pended in your training, and we can} not afford to have such expensively | trained people wasted because of lack of health.” H Scoring the negative attitude of; the training schools toward the health of nurses, Dr. Hedger advo- cated the adoption of a positive side, in recognizing those nurses who do keep well, instead of “soaking the nurse when she gets sick by adding on extra time, and making her make up for every day she is out.” “We have got to get at some atti- tude towards nurses and their lives that will permit us to send oute of the training schools women in bet- ter condition than when they enter-|* . Maty of you will be called into the public health field, which is the great field of the future, an educa- tional, positive field. As we get out of ‘the training schools today we are not equipped for that field. A “I believe there should be public health training in our schools for nurses; but if we cannot get that yet, we can at least teach the nurse standards of health, so that’ she will be fit to sell the health idea to a community, by exemplifying in her own appearance what she stands for”. “The nurse must have definite con- cepts of health, and most often she has not been able to get these, be- cause her contacts have been only with sick people, Dr. Hedger declar-| Teg; ed, advocating setting ideals for var- ious ages ot children through the observation in the training school of well children at various ages. Important ‘factors in positive! health, the speaker emphasized, were beauty, vitality, nervous balance or one’s attitude toward life. One should look well, should have the proper, proportion of weight to height should be neither “too skinny” nor “too fat,” Dr. Hedger insisted. is Mrs. Elsbgth Vaughan, R. N., of St. Louis, also spoke at the morn- ing session, her subject being: “The Reorganization of the Red Cross.” Referring to the organization which existed before the war period, and to the changes made during the ‘war, Mrs. Vangene. sketched the reorgani- zation which went into effect on February 15, 1926, by which the six divisions which. comprised the Red Cross in the United States were con- solidated into one-main office at Washington and two branch of! located at St. is’ and other San Francisco.

British officials presume that Ger- many will stand by her security proposals, end that Hindenburg will confirm and continue the present German cabinet which is the govern- ment that made the recent propos- als accepted: by Foreign Secretary Chamberlain as “honest and sincere.” British officialdom takes the view that further developments depend largely upon France. In a fortnight or so, it is thought, former Minister Bi will visit. London and con- tinue the conversations begun by M. Herriot as premier with Mr. Gham- berlain in an effort to reach some basis for assuring the security of Western Europe. FRENCH ARE WORRIED Paris, April 28.-—-Germany’s pres- idential election continues to occupy the French public to the exclusion of all else, and the newspapers to- day print columns about it, with long extracts of editorial from the press of the world, An analogy is drawn in some poli- ical quarters between the choice of eld Marshal von Hindenburg as president of the German Republic and that of Marshal MacMahon, as first president of the French Third Republic. Like MacMahon, von Hin- denburg is credited with royalist leanings and the problem of the new flag against the old is expected to occupy him as it did the French- man. REDS DISAPPOINTED Moscow, April 28—News of the election of Field Marshal von Hin- denbure as president of Germany was received with astonishment in Soviet Russia where people had been led to believe that the aged military leader had little chance of success. His triumph is especially unwelcome to the Russian communists, who know his avowed hostility to Bolshevism. MUBIC IN GERMANY Berlin, April 28.—The victory of the Nationalists in the presidential election has been closely followed by the resumption of the band con- certs in the public squares, |custom- ary in the days of the monarchy, and which consisted chiefly of the ren- dition of patriotic airs. At the Wittenberg Platz yester- day afternoon the band played the “Army March No. 9,” the ‘Kaiser Waltz.” the “Freerious Rex March,” the “Black, White and Red Imperial Flag Song,” ana ‘veutschiand Uber les.” STRIKE IS URGED Berlin, April 28.-The Communist Organ Rote Fahne (Red Flag) today published an open letter to the trade union and socialist executives urg- ing a twenty-four hour strike on the day of Field Marshal von Hinden- burg’s entry into Berlin to assume the presidency to which he was elected Sunday.

A. Flynn, the undertaker, received a telephone call purporting to come from Captain William Linn of the Gary police, saying he had informa- tion that the girl was Grace Dixon of Gary. Later, however, Captain Linn denied he had made such a call, or that he had any such information one’ and pronounced it a hoax. Attempts to trace the call were made. i The telephone call was only one, of a mass of tiny clues being devel-; oped by investigators. One theory | held that the girl was the wife of; Henry J. Saunders now in the pen-| itentiary, a member of the band of | H. J. Ferenekes, the “midget” rob- ber held here on murder charges. | Another tip to Chicago and Gary, a woman who posed as the wife of; a Chicago whiskey runner. Lists of missing girls also were checked. The only tangible clues were a partly burned pair of eye-glasses, bits of dress, a string of beads, a powder-box, and a Pennsylvania Railroad employee's card. Opticians Who measured the eye-glasses said they were only slightly off a certain standard and would be difficult to trace, Belief that the girl was from Gary and that she had been killed there was expressed by Dr. A. 0. Dobbins of Valparaiso, Porter coun- ty coroner. A Gary newspaper and the card, apparently from Gary, he said, gave evidence of that. Dr. Dobbins said last night that an examination had disclosed that the girl would have become a mother in a few months. A report from Evansville, Ind., said the girl might be Finith Al- stadt, who disappeared from Mur- phyesboro, Tenn. ‘last January with a man known as Charles Miller. The girl's mother, Mrs. J. R. Al- stadt told newspaper men she fear- ed the body was that of her. daugh- ter. A description of the charred body tallied in many respects with that of her daughter, Mrs. Alstadt declared. At the time of her dis- appearance she wore a black plush coat with a fur collar, A similar coat was found near the body. When last seen she wore a string of heavy glass beads and a white gold wrist watch and a white gold ring. LIVESTOCK IN GREAT BRITAIN SHOWS DECREASE Margate, April 28.—Britons will have to rely on foreign imports of meat to a greater extent than ever because of the serious decline of cattle raising in Great Britain. At the annual meetings of the National Federation of Meat Traders’ Associ- ations it was stated that since 1916 stock had declined in England from 18,000,000 to 14,800,000 head last year. The decrease in Scotland was about 200,000. head and in Ireland the numbers had fallen from 3,700,- 000 to ‘509,000. The meeting agreed that it was vitally necessary to increase stocks and that the government be asked to investigate the position arising out of the increasing slaughter of im- mature lambs, _ pi the country.

The price agreed upon was $65,000. Formal transfer of the building to the state will be made by July 1. When the Bank of North Dakota was established some six years ago this building was rented for $1,000 a month. Some $72,000 has been paid out in rentals and considerable money has been spent by the state in remodelling the building. The lease expired July 1, so that it was necessary either to purchase the present quarters or the Bank of North Dakota was forced to secure a new location. E. A. Hughes pro- posed a building at Second and Broadway and other local business- men were ready to make offers of locations. Decision to purchase was unani- mous. Members of the Industrial Commission are: Gov. A. G. Sorli Attorney General Shafer and C missioner of Agriculture Joseph A. Kitchen. It was their opinion today that a very good bargain for the Bank of North Dakota had been se- cured. The holding corporation will be the Bank of North Dakota. It is planned to remodel the build- ing putting in a passenger elevator and making available all the build- ing for office purposes. The bas ment can be utilized as well as quar- ters now used by other tenants in the building other than the Bank of North Dakota. When the build- ing is revamped into a modern of- fice building, it is hoped to take care of all state offices now located in the various buildings in Bismarck. Provision toe care for them will be made as rapidly as present leases expire. These include such offices as the Workmen’s Compensation Bu- reau, State Fire Marshal, Livestock Sanitary Board, Health Laboratory and others, Gov. Soglie stated today that there were many departments of state now located at Fargo which should be functioning at Bismarck such as the Oil Inspection offices, food regulatory offices, hotel in- spection and several more. When this change is made a number of families will be brought to this city. The Bank of North Dakota build- ing was built seven or eight years ago by the Missouri Valley Motor company. Among the stockholders and officers of this company are P. C. Remington, Bismarck; Mr. Ta- vis and J. H. Newton of Mandan. TRAFFIC COP TO BE HIRED Morton County and Bismarck To Have Man on River Road A motorcycle officer will patrol the River road from the east limits of Bismarck to the east limits of Mandan and have authority to make arrests in both Burleigh and Morton counties, according to plans now be- ing made by Bismarck city and Morton county officials. Commis- sioners French, Wachter and Larson were appointed by President Len- hart of the Bismarck city commis- sion as a committee to meet with a committee from the Morton county commission this week to complete plans for hiring a man for motor- cycle officer.
