Move For Health Campaign
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.—(By
Associated Press.)—The demand for
individual and community health pro
tection is overwhelming, Dr. Walter
M. Dickie of Sacramento, told the
child specialists and experts on
protective medicine at their sessions
with the America^ Medical Asso
ciation here today. "Its develop
ment has followed a natural course,
receiving its inception in the war
draft and in the health protection
afforded our men while under arms,”
he aald. "Public opinion is strong
ly entrenched behind the movement
and scientific medicine must take
the leadership In fulfilling the de
mand.”
Dr. Henry Boswell, of Sanatorium,
Mississippi, told how the medical
profession could co-operate with non
medical agencies in the prevention
and control of tuberculosis.
In continuing the discussion. Dr.
John M. Dodson, secretary of the
council on Health and Public In
struction of the American Medical
Association, aald that the successful
plan must sack the bast interests of
r
the public. He pointed out that pub
lic health work is without the co
operation of the general practitioner
and urged family physicians to give
more attention to preventive medi
cine.
The child specialists and experts
considered methods of lowering the
mortality of Infants in this country.
Special emphasis was laid by Ar
thur B. Spalding, of San Francisco.'
on the relation of veneral disease and
other Infections of the mother to
deaths In Infancy. It was pointed
out that proper care of the mother
before the child Is born will pre
vent many of these deaths.
Dr. John A. Foote, of Washing
ton, D. C„ stated his belief that
statistics give only an approxi
mate idea of the Influence which i
birth injuries and hemmorhagic dis
eases have on infant death, and
urged more careful examination of
the bodies of infants dying from such
causes in order to determine meth
ods of prevention. Only with a
knowledge of the cause can preven
tion be scientifically applied, be
iald.

Waterpower Taking Big
Industries from Cities
CHICAGO, June 23.--With mo
tion pictures, radio and numberleBB
devices that have come along with
the electrical age, the country no
longer Is u “lonesome place,” and
with the transmission of power by
hydro-electric energy an accomplished
fact, manufacturing is retreating
from the congested, expensive dis
tricts to the open areas, according
to a bulletin of the Illinois commit
tee on Public Utility Information.
"The new development Is as na
tural as It is contradictory to the
early methods of our national
growth," declares the bulletin. "Wa
terpower, the greatest of all ou run
developed natural resources, is mak
ing the change not only possible, but
economically desirable. Arid be-i
cause it Is desirable for that rea
son, the process of decentralization
has commenced.
“As industries change their sites,
leaving the great centers for tl\e
open spaces, there will go with these
Institutions the people whose labor
makes them possible. These obser
vations are proved by public re
ports, and ‘big husiness’ Is moving
with the 'drift.'"

MARQUIS CURZON MAKES
PLAIN STATEMENT TODAY
Disagreeable Situation Ought
Not to Continue—Many
Change Volstead Act.
BULLETIN—WASHINGTON, June
29.—Great Britain’s flat rejection
of the American proposal for pro
hibition at the 12-mile limit leaves
the Administration no alternative
but to await the will of Congress
regarding the revision of the law
now and refuse admittance of ship
liquor stores under penalty of stu
ure. This is stated authoritatively.
LONDON, June 29.—Marqus Cur
zon, Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
stated in the House of Lords' debate
over the American ship liquor de
cision that there is no chance for
Great Britain agreeing to the pro
posal that the United Staes be given
authority to search vessels for liquor
within the twelve-mile limit of Am
erican shores.
Marquis Curzcn said the case was
most important and all channels of
diplomacy were being used to find
a way out of disagreeable situa
tion which ought not be allowed to
continue.
WASHINGTON, June 29. — Mar
quis Curzon's flat rejection of the
twelve-mile limit proposal apparent
ly has countered effectively th.e
effoit of the American State De
partment to clear away at one stroke
the ship liquor controversy and rum
smuggling problem.
As the Immediate result of Cur
zon's announcement comes the re
vival of speculation here on the re
vision of the Volstead law at the next
soesion of Congress so as to make it
less offensive to foreign nations.
