i. s. ACTS TO CURB
PARROT DISEASE
Interstate Bird Shipments
Stopped for Fear of
Psittacosis.

An embargo on the interstate ship
ment of parrots was in effect today
ordered by the United States Public
Health Service as a result of the out
break in the West of psittacosis.
In announcing the ban late yester-
day. the health service advised all per-
sens to avoid contact with any recently
shipped birds of the parrot family. The
action was based on reports of five cases
OF psittacosis in Minneapolis. where one
death already has occurred, and the
Boise, Idaho. case of Mrs. William E.
Borah. now understood to be recovering
Es a result of serum injections.
Found in California.
The health service in formal state
rnent said that upon its recommended
ton the Secretary of the Treasury had
ordered that interstate shipment OF
birds of the parrot family he limited to
those certified by health authorities as
coming from aviaries free from infec-
ton.
A Public Health Service officer, the
announcement stated, had made a care
full study of the psittacosis situation In
Southern California, with results re-
ported as follows
Conclusive evidence was thus OBJ
tanned which indicated that psittacosis,
or parrot fever infection. is present in
some of the breeding aviaries OF
Southern California.
Spreads to Other Areas.
Parrots and parrakeets from this
source probably have been one OF the
important means of spreading the dis
ease to other States. The cases oc-
curing in Boise and Minneapolis we're
traced to the California birds. as well
as previous cases this year reported from
New York City and oregon"
Stringent quarantine action on parrot
imports was taken in the Winter of
1929-30, when 1853 cases of parrot fever
with 33 deaths. we're practically all
traced to association with recently
acquired parrots and parrakeets. Health
regulations still are being enforced on
imported birds.

las that of helping to- make the

suggestions found in the bulletin
"A Tribute to The Star-Spangled

charge by the national music week
committee from its headquarters in
New York city.
Heading those suggestions is this
recommendation: Present the an
them not as a casual performance
but as an impressive ceremonftl.
Charges that the number is 'un-
singable'' are met with the idea
that the pitch is to be adjusted to
the type OF group singing the song

mixed group and still lower for
men. Other suggestions call for the
narrating of the anthems history,
the ,presentotian of tableaux based
upon it, its performance by mass
ed chorus and the showing OF
"Star- Spangled Banner" films.
Active supporters of the plan are
the American Legion posts, in line
with the pledge of cooperation from
their former national commander
Ralph T. O'Neill, as follows:
You may be sure that the Amer
lean. Legion will be very glad to CO.
operate with the national music
week committee in directing public
attention to the fact that The Star
Spangled Banner by recent con-
gressional action, is our official ma
tional anthem" y
A similar offer of cooperation
came from the Veterans of Foreign
wars, through their former com
mander-in-c chief, Paul C. Wolman,
who commented as follows:
THE Veterans of Foreign wars

Music Week Tribute
To National Anthem
Committee Sponsoring Week Opening Sunday Plan to
Perpetuate 'Star SpangIed Banner"

, posers. also In bringing the best
music OF all nations before the chill
dren Our society will gladly COOP
crate in calling attention, during
national music week. to the fact
that The Star-Spangied Banner is
now our official national anthem.
We would also like to emphasize
the fact that 1882 Is the one
hundredth anniversary Of the writ
ing of America Samuel Francis
Smith,
Just what has been the gradual
trend in the recognition OF the
anthem was pointed out in a COM
ment on the plan by John Tasker
Howord, author of the recently
published book, .sOur American
Music. Said Mr. Smith:
Congress, in its almighty wis
dom. has at last informed the
American people that The Star
Spa ngled Banner is the national
anthem. Now we can sing it with
an easy conscience during music
week. OF course, we really didn't
need authorization by congress, for
the public decided long ago what
1t wanted in the way of a national
anthem; but nevertheless 1t Is COM
forting to know where the govern
ment stands on the subject.
"As matter OF fact, the question
was really settled way back in 1898,
after the battle of Manila Bay. Be-
fore that time the Star Spangled
Hail, Columbia as out notional
song; but when Admiral Dewey
gave orders that his band should
play the star Spangled Banner
Hail, olumbia' dropped out of the
race. During the World war, Wood
row Wilson made 1t official with the
army and navy. So let's hope that
many people will celebrate music
week by making the most of their
national anthem, now that it has
been officially christened. But let's
hope, too, that Americans will
spend some time during music
week getting acquainted with
American music. For there is Amer
lean music, even If some music
lovers don't realize it. In this coun-
try there are today hundreds of
able composers, some of them pro-
ducing music that is the equal of
anything being written in contem-
porary Europe. It isn't a question
of patriotism, this recognition of
our own musicians; it's merely
common sense. for the music writ
ten in America is well worth listen
ing to-"
This phase of the music week
fits in with the study mad presen-
tation of American music which is
the program feature of the celebra-
ton. The keynote of the observance
is that of making music week the
objective for musical activities
which will stimulate the use of
music as salutary form of recre-
alton in these trying times.
