The principal points in the reorganiza-
ton scheme, it is stated, are the trans
fer o. the authority of general manager
of yards from the chief naval constructor
to the yard captain, who is necessarily
line officer, and the creation of an ad-
visory board, such as exists in the British
admiralty, for the purpose of passing on
all questions of an important nature.
both before and after they are referred
to the general board and the board on
construction. AS the captain o. the yard
will relieve the commandment of yard of
all detail work and practically of all re-
sponsibiIity. vesting him, however. with
fina; approval SO will the advisory
board relieve the Secretary of the Navy
of his principal administrative functions,
leaving him only the duty of approval or
disapproval.
Later, if legislation can be had from
Congress. this board may be made an
official body, to correspond with that of
the general staff of the army.

DREAD DISEASE
First Pallagra Victim Discovered
in Kiowa County

The first known case of pellagra in
Oklahoma has just been reported to
DR.. j C Mahr. state commissioner of
health, by David w Griffin, resident
physician of the Oklahoma hospital
for the insane at Norman. His dag
noises has been confirmed by DR. Mahr,
by DR. L S Lane, a specialist Of Okla
homa, and by Drs Bobe and Capsbaw
Of Norman.
The patient is the wife of farmer
80 years old, a native of Iowa, and
now a resident of Kiowa county. DR.
Griffin reports that she has suffered
from three severe attacts Of melan-
cholla, one in 1898, and one in 1902
and a third in March 1909, coming
to the present time, during which
she has been under his personal obser-
walton. He states it is impossible
for him to say whether she has been
suffering from peliagra all these
years, or whether or not the pallagra
has been superinduced by the severe
attack of melancholla, with resultant
bad health.
Her hygienic surroundings have
been all that could be desired.
