DEATHS FROM
BOTULISM NOT
SO NUMEROUS

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 16. UP)
Deaths from the dreaded food
poisoning termed botulism are be-
coming fewer and fewer over the
United States, Northwest Gamers
in convention here were told re-
Gently by DR.. Karl H. Meyer, of
the Hooper Foundation, University
of California.
A death from botulism has not
been traced to American CONNER
cially canned goods in several
years, said Dr.. Meyer, an interna-
Iionally known authority on food
diseases.
Eternal vigilance is the thing
that has put down this deadly all
ment," said Dr. Meyer.
Adjudication and sterilization
are its masters. The canning in
dustry knows this, and is careful
to see that proper methods are
employed.
Housewives who prepare foods
at home have been educated
through cooking schools an d
through intelligent reading about
botulism"
The fact that the greatest num-
ber of deaths from botulism is re-
ported in California, Washington,
Colorado, New York and Oregon
does not mean that housewives in
those states are more careless than
in others, said DR.. Meyer.
1t only means that authorities in
those states intelligently investi-
gate and segregate botulism deaths
from other deaths, he said.

COUNTY CAMP
FOR VAGABOND
BOYS SUCCESS

Z LOS ANGELES. Feb. l6. U.P)-
The Los Angeles county camp Tor
yagabond boys. in the San Dimas
Canyon. is the answer to the na-
tionai problem of what to dc
about the 100000 homeless boys
wandering on the highways of the
country" according 10 Harry NJ
Baine, member of the county board
of supervisors.
The camp was constructed last
March and has established a rec
ord of economy to the county and
rehabilitation of destitute youths.
Instead of confining vagabond
boys TO the state reformatory at
Preston, Juvenile Judge Samuel r.
Blake has been sending the youths
To the camp to work out their
transportation back to their homes
the supervisor Seid.
''The boys are paid so cents per
day for their work on road con-
struction, and they apparently have
been extremely happy and content
ed" he said.
The camp accommodates 80 boy
between l6 ana Is, and plans are
under way TO increase the capacity
TO go boys More than 100 have
been held at the camp for an ay-
erage stay of three months each.
There is not lock. gun or heavy
screen in the camp. and discipline
is maintained by the boys them
selves. Very few have sought TO
escape. Bsine declared
AS an indication both of the &C. I
onomy and character building of
the camp system, Baine pointed
out that it costs the county $4,000 /.
for the care of 100 boys at the +
Presten reformatory, while the
same number are handled at the ,
camp for less than $4,000. In ad-
dition. the boys are sent back to i
