PORTLAND'S FIRE CHIEF
MEETS DEATH In FLAMES

Portland-David Campbell, veteran
chief OF the Portland Fire Depart
ment. was killed at 8:35 Monday
morning, while heading desperate
fight on flames surrounding thousands
of gallons of oil in the Union Oil
Company's plant at East Water and
East Salmon street. The fire was
one that imperiled the lives of scoree
of fremen and thousands OF onlook
ers. The plant was destroyed, at a
loss OF 100000.
Chief Campbell met death while
making courageous efforts to plan the
handling OF n dangerous fire that had
been defying control. He walked
coolly into the burning place In
search OF a possible solution to the
grave problem that confronted him
and his men. Warned OF the risk. he
said simply that II was necessary
for him to go inside.
AS he passed to the center OF the
building n fearful explosion wrecked
the onestory concrete structure. The
chief was plunged to death In o
seething cauldron, amid tons of de.
bris. There was trouble I'm identify.
Ing him when the body was removed
three hours later. Accumulation of
gases generated in empty oil tanks
and exposed to the heat Is given as
the cause OF the fatal EXPOSITION.
Twelve or more firemen. WORKING
at the north OF the building, were
nearly caught by the heavy concrete
wall which collapsed under the force
or the explosion. This wall fell out
ward into the street and the fremen
avoided 1t by mad scramble. a
heavy rush of air from the center
of explosion lending impetus to their
flight Battalion Chief Young was
thrown into the street and struck by
lying wreckage and Patrolman Evans
was knocked down by bit of con
crete. Neither was badly hurt.

Mexican Rebels.

Los Angeles-That the more OF

gland, In combination with the eff
fects OF various diets. may exert q
direct Influence for large or small
families. was one of the interesting
differences drawn from scientific
narrative OF experiments conducted
with mice, which was read Thursday
before the American Medical Asso-
citation by Dr. Reid Hunt, OF Wash
ington, d. C.
An increase In laziness in this
country due to the hookworm was
predicted by DIR. John Colbert, of
Albuquerque. N. NJ, as a result OF
the late Mexican revolution. DR.. Col
bert. who Is regarded as an expert
In hookworm diseases, declared that
ex-rebels afflicted with the disease,
the most prominent symptom of
which is a tired feeling, had crossed
over into the United States to work
on railroads as section hands.
Whether they work or not, he said.
they would spread the dreaded worm.
He added that in response to his
warning the others had taken meas
nres to reduce the danger of infec-
ton.
In his experiments with the thy
roid and different diets, DR.. Hunt
said he had observed remarkable re.
suits. He examined two groups of
-FOUR mice for a period of four months
and found that fecundity or sterility
depended upon the activity or idle
ness of the gland.
One group OF the rodents was fed
upon oatmeal and liver. This simu-
lated the activity of the gland and
at the end of the four months there
Were no little mice. On the other
hand, the second group. which had
crackers, milk and eggs, increased
TO lOl In the same period.
