The Influenza Epi-

M edica1 Writer

.'HE influenza epidemic has
practically expired, but
whence it came and whittier
it drifted, what its germ Is
and what it is not, and how it should
and how it should not be treated
are matters that even scientists are
not in agreement upon.
Woods Hutchinson, the entertain
ing medico-journalist who sets forth
technical subjects garbed in smooth
flowing English, has contributed to
"The Metropolitan" an article tend
ing to show that the "fu" epidemic,
as we'll as all other Of "our great

the flu came to us from Europe-but
it wasn't Europes fault; she just got
it from Asia and passed it on to us.
Nor did the war have anything to do
with it except to delay its arrival on
our shores, by making scarce west

because it didn't originate in Spain,
which is no further from the fact
than the names of good many other
diseases. Like all the other great
waves of q epestilence, which sweep
across the globe at stately intervals,
it began in Asia. In that great seeth-

TNHE epidemic flowed with the
''ordinary streams of traffic"
and was dependent upon persons as
carriers. 1t developed what DR..
Hutchinson terms an "explosive-
ness" that was one of the marvels
of the disease and a mystery as
we'll, as he points out:
"The most dramatic and fateful
enigma Of the whole drama of pesti-
lence was its sudden and mysterious
increase in virulence and deadlness
within few weeks of its arrival in
America. The pestilence entered the
country at Commonwealth Pier in Bos-
ton through and in the bodies of
sailors of the United States Navy re-
turning from convoy duty with the
transports in European waters. This
was in the last week in August. BY the
first of September it had spread in
scattering patches all through the

westward spread. In ordinary times
Of peace we should have had half q
million immigrants pouring westward
in steady stream from Eastern and
Southeastern Europe, carrying the in
hucnza bacillus like hotsam upon it's
bosom.
"The war even greatly retarded the
spread Of the plague across Europe,
for, with the exception of the wounded
and the soldiers going home on leave,
most of the flow OF human material
was westward or against the spread.
This is strictly shown by the fact
that whereas the influenza had in
former days developed regular stand
ard gait of its own, namely thirty to
forty days from its announcement in
Moscow before its arrival in Paris
and London and thirty days more to
New York, in 1918 it took ninety days

TO SAMPLE
juice OF LOGANBERRY
Five thousand VIII Taste
Famous Soft Drink AT
Coming Convention.

Five thousand samples Of the famous
loganberry drink and Of the equally
famous Oregon prune viii be distributed
at the national imperial convention Of
the Shriners Of the United States to be
held at Indianapolis this summer. That
is, provided the plans materialize which
were suggested at meeting Of Salem
Shriners last evening
Salem ShrineFs are alive tosthe fact
that should the national Imperial con
vention Of Shriners be held in Portland
in 1920, il viii be q wonderful adver-
tisement for the Willamette valley.
They also realize that something must
be done to secure the convention for
Portland as New Orleans is making
strong bid.
As an object lesson in the way Of
showing the 5000 or more Shriners who
will attend the convention what we
have in this country, it was suggested
that a package with a small bottle Of
lloganberry juice and several choice
Oregon prunes be made up and distrib
uted among the Shriners at Indianapo-
lis. II is felt that an object lesson Of
this kind would go much farther than
lot of printed matter regarding the
northwest.
To place the proposition in practical
shape, Fred A. Erixon was appointed a
committee Of one to find out if such
pacage could be conveniently packed.
Speaking Of the idea, Mr.. Erixon said:
81 believe il would be a fine advertise
ment for the loganberry industry to pre-
pare a pacage containing small bottle
of Loiu or Phez and have it distributed
among the Shriners at indianapolis. 1t
would also be good advertising to in
clude in a package a dozen or so of
the finest prunes from the valley. One
of the biggest advertisements this val
ley could get would be to bring two or
three thousand Shriners to Portland for
the 1920 convention"

COrrine Barker Says Screen
Acting Not Filled With Fun

they meet that il is a condescension
on their part to even notice them. l

correct way TO spell the name. 1t is
not, as some people think, linotype
error for 'Riley. y
/ should like to be able to tell you
how she was dressed but / would have
to go into detail and It would spoil
the effect. She was so correctly gown
cd, everything was in such artistic
harmony, from the tip Of her stylish
black pumps to the crown Of her hand
somely coiffured head that it would
be exceedingly difficult to find the
correct adjectves with which to de-
scribe her.
81 am SC sorry" she said by way
of introduction, "that Money Mad
was shown here before any Of my 9th
er plays. 1t was my first experience
before the camera and l am not at all
satisfied with my work in it. To be-
gin With, | was only experimenting
with my makeup-it is 80 entirely diff
ferent from making up, for the stage.

In my later pictures l use none what

"Then, too. there is always a diree-
tor calling at you through a mega
phone to life your right hand or drop
your left, to turn this way or that, and
the very natural impulse always as
sails you to look at him when he calls
to you.
''There is another serious difference
between the stage and screen. 1t is
very difficult, when acting before a
camera, to work oneself into the part
which one is playing as the scenes are
scarcely ever taken in correct Sc
quence. For instance, in Money Mad
the scene where l murdered the man
was taken after the one in which /
was discovered You can readily I'M
agine how much harder it is to do that
than it is to act before an appreci
ative audience and in production
where one is enabled to become liv-
ing replica Of the character portrayed
by passing from one scene to another
in natural sequence, thereby working
oneself into the part. as it wero. "
According to Miss Barker there IS q
big opening in the moving picture
field for the right persons. Medium
blondes are more in demand than bru-
nette or extreme light haired types, she
says. Directors prefer them because
their hair catches the light 50 readily
and shows up to such advantage. Mae
Marsh, (who, by the way, has recent
ly married the sporting editor on the
New York Tribune) has bleaehed her
hair from a medium brunette shade to
Il medium blonde one for that very
reason.
Miss Barker is on her way from Cul-
yer City to New York where she will
star in a Klaw. Erlinger stage farce for
a short engagement. Her contract with
|Goldwyn calls for two more pictures
after which, although she has not de-
cided fully as yet, she may go into tho
Rex Beach all.star productions.
In all, Miss Barker has appeared in
four moving pictures. "Money Mad"
her first one "Why Would not Mar
ry," for Pox, and two others with
Pauline Frederick.
Her two most successful stage plays
were Remnant" with Florence Nash
and Orrin johnson, and "Shirley
Kaye" with Elsie Ferguson. both Of
which she left when they went on the
road.
She is, naturally, personally ac.
acquainted with a great many film
stars. Mary Pickford. in Miss Bar
ker's estimation, is the darling Of the
screen, and Charles Ray the best boy
actor Of filmdom. Not many people
will disagree with her.
No one can afford to miss the op-
portunity of seeing her future produe-
tions. She is rapidly becoming famous
in theatrical circles and appears in
only high class plays, put out by the
best companies. Her Goldwyn pictures
will be shown here at Ye Liberty as
quickly as they are released.
"All that is needed" said Miss
Barker yesterday at the close Of the
interview, "to become a successful mo.
tion picture actress, is the necessary
talent and capacity for a great deal
Of good hard work."
The world-old "open sesame" you
see. TO success in any form.

By Gertrude Robson

If you saw her in "Money Mad "
you have some idea of how stately she
is, how she carries her head a triflo
high and walks with the air of one who
is quite certain that every movement
is graceful and just as it should be. .
but the picture gave you no inkling
whatever of the sweet unaffected mus
as Of hor voice or the strange golden
nigh lights in her eyes. Likewise, it
exaggerated tho blackness of her hair
and failed to show up the dull brown
tints that one so often finds in dark
hair when the eyes are brown.
