Death Rate For Mothers
Is Reduced 22 Per Cent
Since 1921, Doctor Says
Since 1921, when Oregon frist
began studying its own problems
in maternal and infant losses, a
reduction of 22 per cent in the
maternal death rate in this state
has been effected. Dr. EsteUa Ford
Warner, director of the Marion
county child health demonstration
told an unnumbered audience in a
radio talk over a Corvallis station
Friday afternoon. For a period of
seven years Oregon has consistent
ly maintained an infant death rate
which is the lowest of any state in
the union.
"Such a saving In infant life
cannot be measured in 'dollars and
cents but it can be measured very
definitely in the welfare of the
state, by the .maintenance of the
home and thj family unit and the
care the mother in able to provide
as no one else na provide for the
growing' children within the
home, Dr. Warner asserted.
Divorces Gain and
Marriages Drop in
Number in County
A gain of 11 per cent in
divorces filed in Marion
county in 1928 and a loss
of exactly 11 per cent in
marriage licenses issued in
the county was the record
revealed Friday when Conn,
ty Clerk Dover made a sum
mary of 1028 records for the
circuit court.
In 1027 130 suits were
filed for divorce in the coun
ty and this number increased
to 176 in 1028. In 1027 the
circuit court allowed ISO di
vorce decrees, the amount
increasing to 134 in 1028.
A marked decline was no
ticed In marriage licenses is
sued, the total of 538 record
ed in 1027 going to 478 in
1028.

Board of Control Adopts Substitute Plans
After Supreme Court Enters Protest
Against Having Rooms Darkened
A MODERN five story office building will be constructed
on the state capitol grounds in place of the three story
building: as previously planned, under a decision of the board
of control Friday.
The building approved by the board Friday will contain
approximately 22 per cent more space than was provided in
the plans previously accepted by the board. The cost will
not exceed $500,000, including a full basement. The struc
ture will be 200 by 96 feejt in dimensions, of concrete con
struction and will face on
Court street. Terra cotta fac
ing will be used so that the
structure will harmonize with
the supreme court structure,
The. new plan was ordered by
the board after the supreme court
had filed a protest against the
previous specifications. The court
alleged that the tower would
darken the supreme court offices.
and that 1100,000 would be wast
ed through the sacrifice of space
Architects I'rge
Single Bnilding
The Oregon architects associa
tion originally objected to the
erection of a separate office build
ing, and urged the duplex con
struction. The board found that
such a plan would reduce mater
ially the space available for state
departments, without any corres
ponding reduction in the cost of
construction. i
Bids for the excavation for the
state office building will be
opened April 29. Proposals for
the general contract will be so
licited as soon as the detailed
plans are completed by the archi
tects and approved by the board.
Money for the construction
operations will be borrowed from
the state Industrial accident com
mission, and repaid through rent
als received for space in the new
building.

Florida Fly
WASHINGTON, April 26.
(AP) The state of Florida was
placed under a limited quarantine
today by the department of agri
culture in an effort to eradicate
and prevent the spread of the
Mediterranean fruit fly discovered
recently in orange groves around
Orlando.
Earlier the house had passed
the Wood resolution making im
mediately available $4,250,000 to
combat the fly. The measure was
sent to the senate whe.re immedi

money will be diverted from a
fund of $5,000,000 made available

worm in Texas.
While the quarantine and regu

established only in the zone known
to be Infested by the pest. That
zone covers orchards . where the

WASHINGTON, April 26
(AP) A strong protest, amount

lief bill, was made today by the
National Cooperative Milk Produ
cers' federation.
In resolutions adopted by the
board of directors of the organiza
tion and sent to members of con
gress, the 44 member associations
sharply assailed the measure
which passed the house yesterday
as well as the senate committee
bill, as Imposing upon cooperative
associations a burden that they
were loath to carry.
"Because of the grave dangers
to cooperative marketing associ
ations involved in both" of these
bills," they declared, "we hereby
clearly, emphatically and com
pletely disassociate ourselves
from all of the provisions of these
bills that require cooperative mar
keting associations to own, con
trol and manage the stabilization
corporation, and voice our hope
that nTooperative marketing as
sociation -will engage in an ex
periment Involving so great a

ASSEMBLY
BOARD
Famous Evangelist Gives Out
Statement Criticizing
Methods at Trial
SACRAMENTO, April 26
(AP) Aimee Semple McPherson,
Los Angeles evangelist, whose
name figured prominently
throughout the impeachment trial
of Superior Judge Carlos S. Hardy
issued a statement tonight bitter
ly attacking the assembly board of
managers for calling her as a wit
ness in the trial.
Mrs. McPherson stated that she
testified willingly before the as
sembly legislative committee hear
ing held in Los Angeles last Feb
ruary, contrary to the board's con
tention that she had been an "un
willing and evasive" witness.
She charged the hoard of mana
gers with seeking publicity
through her appearance in Sacra
mento and of issuing many "ridi
culous and sensational statements
forecasting the evidence they ex
pected to produce against me and
the terrible things that would be
fall me when I took the witness
stand."
"The statements led one to be
lieve that I was on trial rather
than Judge Hardy," the evangel
ist asserted.
Mrs. McPherson, commenting
on her seventeen minute appear
ance on the witness stand Wed
nesday night stated that in her
opinion this was done for the
sole purpose of "attempting to
justify the managers in putting
the state of California and myself
to such great expense."
The "silly" stories that have
been spread concerning her
whereabouts on various occasions
are "unworthy of an answer," she
concluded. 1

This Season As On Some
Previous Occasions Here
Spring has seemed late in ar.
riving this year, but the records
of past seasons reveal that Blos
som Day is scheduled earlier this
year than it was on two previous
occasions since the custom was in
stituted by the Cherrians In 1922,
and that the blossoms were at
their best later in the year on one
occasion since records hare been
kept of the dates.
The three later seasons were
1917, 1922 and 1923. The earliest
season on record was that of 1915,
when the blossoms were out in full
display March 24.
Nature lovers venturing forth
tomorrow to observe Blossom day
by gazing to their hearts' content
on orchards decked with variegat
ed blooms, may wander at their
own sweet will, remembering that
there are 20,000 acres of prune-
trees and close to S000 acres of
cherries in easy driving distance
of Salem. But the established
route is across the inter-county
bridge, stopping at the W: C. Dib

Indications were that the num

and communication was restored.
Georgia, with a death toll of 67,
bore the brunt of destruction,
which extended roughly in a wide
sweep from Cochran, in the south
central part of the state, north
eastward into South Carolina. Vir
tually all of the injured and most
of the property loss also were in
that area, which is largely rural.
Residents reported as many as

homes, uprooting trees, killing
livestock and accompanied by hail
which flattened crops.
