It was estimated that the dir

Preliminary discussions have de

for an attempt to defraud the Zep

He may even escape a fine of

student driver of the automobile
which caused the death of Gilbert
Hill, 19 year old Pomona student.
Hill was. an occupant of an au
tomobile filled with Pomona stu
dents. Another car, loaded with
students and other youths from
Ontario, crowded the former to
the curb while occupants of both
exchanged volleys of tomatoes.

of the Lake Bluff police station,
apparently either the victim of an
assailant who tried to burn her
alive in the boiler room of the

the injuries on herrelf.
The girl was found by the Jan

her body stripped of clothing, and
her arms and' legs burned to the
bone.
Police formed a theory that she
had been the victim of an assault
and that her assailant had at

What. . .
They think of-
Motor Stages as
Compared to the
Railway Trains.
ITH constant improve
ment in highways and
motor vehciles, and the
attendant strides made by
the builders , ot -the motor
stages, some persons venture
the prediction That railroad
passenger service, for the short
rides at least, soon will be dis-.
placed in favor of the automo
bile. Recently there was In
Salem a stage equipped as a
"sleeper" and diner. It is argued
by some that these will take the
place of the . familiar pull
mans. Desiring to find out what
Salem thinks about this the
New Oregon Statesman sought
Interviews on the subject with
-several persons Tuesday. This
la what they had to say:
FLORENCE ESTILL, wait
ress, recently come here from
Los Angeles, said: "For short
journeys I prefer the motor
stages. The scenery is more
impressive and the trips leas
monotonous. I do not think the
stage ever will displace the
train but It Is bound to cut in
to railroad patronage on short
hauls. I came here from Cali
fornia by stage and liked it.
Maybe-these sleeping-car stages
will make it even more enjoy
able." MRS. J. H. HATHAWAT.
1240 Market 'street, said: "I
like to travel by train best, but
traveling out of Salem by train
is an almost impossible feat.
Ton either have to get up early
in the morning, or else ljave to
wait so late in the evening that
yon never get any place at the
time yon want to. I think more
people would travel by train if
trains "were run more often and
if they had as convenient sched
ules as the stages have. Of
course,. I suppose It takes more
to operate a train, and that Is
why that our train service Is so
yery poor. The stage comes in
very handy If a person is going
somewhere in a hurry, but I
do like the train best. I have
a sense of safety and security
that I never have on the motor
stage." ,
MRS. T. C. GOSSER. 1B98
Mission street,, said: "I Tike
the stage Jots better than I do
the train. The stage is quicker,
cheaper, and more convenient
in many ways. Ton can see the

Manager of Shoe Shining Par
lor Weds Childhood Sweet
heart at Pyrgos
George Paulus, manager of a
local shoe shinging parlor, has re
turned to Salem after a five
months trip to Greece to find and
marry his childhood sweetheart
whom he left 16 years ago when
he came to America to seek his
fortune. His bride, who until May
20 of this year was Athanasia
Matas of Pyrgos, Greece, is well
pleased with her new home in
Salem and is a frequent caller at
her husband's place of business on
State streeet.
"She can't speak English Yery
well yet." says George, "but she's
learning."
George was 15 years old when
he left Pyrgos, his home town, and
sailed for the United States. It
was only a few years after he
landed in New York that he made
his way west and settled in Salem.
"I've lived in Salem' most of my
life," he avers. "I knew this girl
before I left Pyrgos. and my rela
tives, they knew her too. We
wrote letters back and forth all
the time."
Pyrgos is situated within a few
miles f thf 8Pt where the an
cient Greeks held their famed
Olympic games.
The newlyweds had a wonderful
honeymoon trip, they report. Im
mediately after their marriage
they went to Athens. From there
they journeyed to Italy, visiting
many parts of that country, then
north into France, on over Into
Portugal and north to England.
The voyage across the Atlantic
took about two weeks, and they
landed at New Tork September
26. They arrived in Salem early
on the 12th of thi month. The
bridegroom had left Salem March
20.

bating a typhoid outbreak, a
systematized protection cf
the city's milk supply nas
oeen introduced and maternal
welfare health work has les
sened the number of maternal
deaths in the county.
These were highlights of a pro
gress report given at a dinner at
the Marion hotel last night at
tended by members of the eoaa
ty court, the city council, the city
school bpard and the health dem
onstration of which Dr. EsteJla
Ford Warner is acting director.
Future Problem
Are Pointed Out
Future projects and needs were
(Also pointed out in the progress
:rport and the program which
t.:e county will be called upon
to carry forth when the demon
stration has closed its resident
work in another year and a half
was suggested. Some results of
the child health program were
presented.
A summary of the health work
done, as presented last night, In
cludes: Due to the control meaenren
put into effect by the county
health unit and the giving U 6,
466 children three immunizing
doses against diphtheria, the
county's very unfortunate and re
gretable death rate from -diphtheria
has been practically ettai-'
inated. An accompanying .chart
showed diphtheria . deaths , as . 20
in 1923, 17 in 1924 and 18 n
1925; in 1926, the year the co nat
ty health unit established the
diphtheria campaign, there
three deaths, in 19 27 one,
so far ln 1928, none.
Smallpox Scourge .
Nullified Here
During a period when small
pox hae shown a large increase
throughout the United States an4
especially in some sections of the
northwest, Marion- county suf
fered comparatively lightly frees
this disease. The number
vaccinations in the county, x near
ly 5,000 since the beginning of
the Demonstration does not whol
ly account for this but together
with protective quarantine mea
sures taken by the health wait
has no doubt been an import
factor.
The occurrence of a large naaw
ber of cases of dysentery early to
February 1927 started prompt
measures of control' which check
ed what would otherwise hav
been in all probability a serions
subsequent epidemic of typbotd
fever. The problem of typhoid ts
by no means under control and
will not be until Salem has a
modern water system and the
sanitary toilet problem - of tST '
county is much further advanced,
nevertheless, the health unit ha
been effective in preventing far
more serious results. - - .
Babies and Mothers -'-
Greatly Benefited
- The actual figures of maternal
and infant deaths in 1927 show
clearly that mothers . and babies
having the preventive health work
taught . them have a far better
chance of life than those' who
have not had this service. - There
wa a still birth death rate f
45.7 per cent none of whoa
were under nursing supervision.
Death rate under one " mouth
reached 34.3 per cent wit newt
nursing supervision and 20 pr
cent under nursing service; there
was no maternal deaths : tender
nursing supervision and a rate of
7. per cent without It. ' r
