WILTON MEDIC PRESIDENT OF HEALTH GROUP Dr. Whittemore, State Health Director, Named Secre- tary - Treasurer CONSTITUTION ADOPTED Revision of State Health Laws Advocated — Rass- ‘age of Milk Law Urged Dr. W. P. Thelan, Wilton, late yes- terday named president of the North Dakota Ith Officers’ as- sociation at its convention here. Dr. E. C. Haagenson, Grand Forks, was elected vice president and Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state health director, made ex-officio secretary-treas- wi urer. Adoption of a constitution and by laws provided for a permanent or- ganization and gave North Dakota an official body whose sole object is promotion of public henlth and pub- lic health work. The constitution provides for ac- tive membership by public health of- ficials and association membership by members of city and county boards of health and others interested in the aims and objects of, the organi- zation. Law Revision Needed Revision of the state health laws to make their meaning clear was recommended by Attorney General George Shafer in an address, There are enough public health laws on the statute books, he said. The trouble is in finding out what they mean since many passages are contradic- tory to others. Many are poorly worded, he said, and should be re- cast so that the intent of the legis- lature in passing them will be clearer. Commenting on the importance of public health work, Shafer said it is significant that public health officers are given the broadest executive, leg- islative, judicial and police powers of any public official, The only limit to authority is the it of reason, Shafer said, because everywhere it ix recognized that health officials must be free to make their own regula- tions and be permitted to enforce thir orders to meet emergen i threaten the public welfare. To Improve Milk Sypplies Adoption of a atate standard: gov- erning local health boards in the en- forcement of local ordinances, es- pecially those applicable to the prep- aration and sale of milk, was urged by the convention. The resolution declared milk to be the “most impor- tant and valuable food product in our state,” and that “in many instances dairymen and their employes are dis- ease carriers and are preparing their milk under unsanitary conditions. The state health board was urged to fight for the passage of such a law, designed espectally to improve the milk supplies of small towns. The association also recommended the “prophylactic and therapeuti use of scarlet fever serum by the physicians of the state in cooperation with local health boards.” They were asked to report their experiences in connection with its use to the state health director. Expansion of the state tuberculosis sanitarium at -Bunseith to provide more beds and passage of a law re- quiring each county to employ a full- time health nurse were other recom- mendations. It was said that only 12 of the 53 counties now have health fhurses. . TODAY THE WORLD GROWN SMALL. BRITALIN’S TOO MANY PEOPLE. LAND AND INDUSTRIES. SCHWAB AND FLEISHHACKER. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE (Copyright, 1926.) Bad conditions in Bogised, industry stopped, class arraigned against class, the fearful words, “civil were” used by Baldwin in the House of Commons. No other news short or gigantic cal- amity near home can be very import- ant while the Britisp strike remains unsettled. It wffects every human be- ing on earth. The entire ‘world is now much smaller than it was wtien the little classical world, scattered along the edges of the Mediterranean, thought itself so important, Greece and Rome grew up not know- ing iaet vaster, and older civilizations, ina, India, dwelt on the planet with them. The journey of a Greek phil- esopher to Egypt, just across the Mediterranean, not more than a trip across Lake haperiar, then, was as great an expedition as would be a trip to Mars now.. The world today is one little settle- ment, one newspaper tells it all, one stock exchange covers it all, one danger affects it all. Well Street, the Bourse in Paris, and, stocks. in Berlin all shiver together. Nearly 5,000,000 workmen say to the British government, “You must be ruled by us, since we no longer trust you,” and that is new jn the world’s history. ‘ Men have risen egainst their rulers many til in the world’s long his- tory, as gladiator slaves rose in Rome, or other slaves before them in RD thee wen in ype ‘Many en the uprisings o! masses, rising, only to be put down again.

Un- j @ previous arrangement, | debate would have been con- cluded tonight. Washington, May 8.—(4)-—General debate in the house on farm relief legislation will be closed tonight af- ter three days and two evenings of| continuous discugsion. 4 The three bills under considera- tion—the Haugen price stabilization measure,.the Tincher credit plan, and the Curtis-Aswell national comm: ty marketing proposal be tak-! en up Monday for amendment. With party alignments split, lead- ers are reluctant to forecast the re- sult. Proponents of each measure claim growing strength. ‘A number of members, on the oth. er hand, predict that the Haugen and Tincher bills, which apparently nave) most of the support, will “kill each: ether off” and no farm legislation | will be enacted. Haugen Bill Defended The second successive night » sion was held last night, and bro out a defense of the Haugen bili by Representatives Andresen, Republi- can, Minnesota; Dowell, Republican, Towa; Kvale, Farmer-Labor Minneso- ta; and Little, Democrat, Kansas. The measure was assailed by Represcnta- tive Robsion, Republican, Kentucky and Grigham, Republican, Vermont. Mr. Andresen said the Haugen me: sure would give stability to agricul-| ture and would “stimulate coopera-| tive marketing associations to the fullest extent.” Mr. Kvale held that while the Curti swell bill meritorious, he could not entertgin it as a substitute for the Haugen measure and the Tincher bill “merely a banking proposition.” The effort to pass farm legislation, he said, was not due to any desire of the adininistration, but to “the political revolution of the west.” ‘ Favors Any One of Bills Representative Strong, Republican, Kansas, thought any one of the three billy would be beneficial to agricul- ture, and Representutivt Robsion, favoring the Tincher bill, said the farmers opposed a ship, subsidy, and hardly could be represented as fave oring a subsidy for themselves. The Haugen bill, Mr. Robsion as- serted, would me@n an increase in taxes, but Representat! Little, foring it, said the effect would to be send up the price of wheat and other basic commodi 10 DETERMINE OWNERSHIP OF STANTON ISLE Residents of Stanton and the wtate All Claim This Gift of Nature 3 Action to quiet title to Stanton island, washed up by the Missouri river near Stanton, probably will ‘be ‘ ted by the state in the near fu-| C. At a recent meeting of the state board of university and school lands Attorney General Shafer was asked ‘to institute the proceedings in an ef- fort to settle an argument which ‘has! been raging between the state and sertain Stanton residents for over aj year. The island, separated from shore on the Stanton side by a narrow chan- nel, is claimed by persons owning property on the river bank. They. claim they have riparian rights which include the island. The state’s con- tention is that the island is a gift of nature and ‘belongs to no one, thence is state property. An Important Case The decision in the case’ expected ‘to be a leading one since it may de- termine the ownership of several other islands in the river, as yet u claimed, and of others which may be formed in the future. ‘Stanton residents who claim title to ‘the island have refused to institute a suit to validate their title, Carl R. Kositzky, state land commissioner, said, and the state is acting in order ‘that its title to the land may be per- fected or that it may be placed on the tax rolls. If the state loses its case the other claimants will be forced to pay taxes on the property, he explained. The island, which contains about 10 quarter sections, is partly in timber. and partly in hay land, Kositzky said.! Women’s Clubs Ask | Strict Enforcement of, Prohibition Law Zumbrota, Minn.

His statement was made to Hyalmar Rehn, state's a torney of Will county. who is direct- ing the grand jury investigation of 10) the prison break. A different story is told by Jacob Judnich, one of the guards. wounded by the escaping septet. He related that Leopold had asked to be taken along but that the convicts refused. Leopold at the time of the escape in solitary confinement for steal- ugar, handcuffed so that he was held in a standing position. His cell was in an isoluted cell house in which Klein had his” office and w the latter was killed by the convicts in making their break. Unlocked His Cell As Klein’s slayers passed down the corridor they unlocked several cells with keys taken from a guard, and asked Leopold if he wished to joitt them, according to his story. “I told them I didn’t want to go, w |but they unlocked the door anyhow, and I thought they were going to kill When I told them I was sa fied to stay where I was, they cu d_ left.” Leopold denied he had any knowl- edge of the escape plot.

Lee can find someone capuble of op- erating the plant. The plant, which has been idle for four years, is the only one in Bis- marck and has supplied millions of brick for the penitentiary and other state institutions. The brick, of the common’ building variety, are not of the best quality but are good enough ses those walls of buildings which a) exposed to public view. The presence of limestone in the clay has caused some trouble in the past but Warden Lee ‘hopes to overcome this trouble in the future by the use of a new ma- chine which has been ordered and will be installed soon.

In addition to the need for brick, Warden Lee said, it is bad business to let the plant stand idle permanent. and possibly to get in such bad ape because of the ravages of time that it cannot be operated at all.

This being Saturday, a half holiday, there was little attempt to conduct ordinary business anywhere. A gov- errment statement at 1 p. m. said the situation was the same as yesterduy and satisfactory. _, Labor headquarters did not issue its usual noon statement but confer- ences were going on continually among the leaders, Thus far there are no signs of reopening official peace negotiations and the — miners’ | leader, A.

Disorders are reported to have been fewer yes terday than on Thursday. In some isolated instances it.is reported that strikers are returning to Work, but not in numbers that are in any way significant of a general weakening among the rank and file of the work- ers.
