' Misguided Economy SURELY the state board of control acted on snap judgment when it rejected a request from the state board of high er eaucauon to spend fzsy in advertising in eastern pub lications for the summer sessions of Oregon higher educa tional institutions, f he amount is very small ; and it should be fruitful in attracting to Oregon at its finest season rany teachers from other states. The tuition they pay, their liv ing expenses which they pay while here, will more than com pensate for the small investment in publicity. vertising; and their summer sessions attracted students, chiefly teachers from a great distance. These folk combined study with vacation. On week ends, and after the term ended they visited the Oregon beaches and mountains, and traveled many of the Ifine highways, thus becoming well informed , about the state, its people and resources. When they re turned they had a working knowledge of our geography for use in their school work. i This year there is an added reason for the advertis ing. Portland is to be host to the National Educational asso ciation, whose convention is one of the largest held in the vwuaalaw. a. LLiiiJt-n iiv i. i c 1 1 1 ih;i the convention is so large that Portland had to prove it could accommodate the crowds. Naturally then there are teachers fwho would consider coming! west for summer school work when they could attend the convention also. If Oregon makes no effort to interest them in our courses, they will go to Cal ifornia, Washington or Idaho. So of all years, this is the one when we should e spending a little advertising money. Why should not these summer sessions he develonpd into big affairs? We have the climate which is ideal for summer study. We have the environment which is restful and inter esting to supplement the work of the classroom. With good promotion we should be able to double our summer school attendance to the profit of the state and to the great reward of those who attend. The state highway department, with legislative sanction, .is spending $25,000 this year to attract tourists, many of whom will spend only a night or two in the state. The board of control should not hesitate over $239 to draw students here who will live here for at least six weeks and pav for all the privileges tliey enjoy. Costly Public Works LOFTY as is the idealism of the present administration, its nobility of purpose can not be expected to cover its ad ministrative blunders of magnitude, nor its resort to tawdry politics in the Tammany practices of Mr. Farley. . When the smoke blows away and the country counts the cost it is bound "to find some great monuments to official stu pidity. In the matter of public works, always regarded as one means of providing emDiovment. the povprnmpnt nf nrocont has not stopped with promoting worth-while projects, nor even those of less value but not of tremendous cost. It has launched boldly on magnificent schemes with little sense of direction or of ultimate returns. Raymond Clapper, a very ton, says ims is ine way tne trie old idea of puohc works : "Howw, when the administration .got its hands on the scheme, it -acted like the kind of housewife who has to dress up the telephone in French doll clothes. Show it a Western desert and it must build a Coulee dam, One Thomas Jefferson memorial in St. Louis Isn't enough. The government must spend $30,000, 000 for a second one.

"But gaudiest of aU was the Passamaquoddy tide-harnessing project. They don't know how they are going to do it, but everybody is hard at work, spending and thinking. Even the staid old war department, on which this tide-harnessing Job was wished, has fixaJIy got into the spirit of the thing. It is building quarters for the workmen.

Free Press Sustained fTlHE supreme court by a unanimous decision held the Lou X isiana taxes levied on newspapers in the Huey Long re gime were a denial of the guaranteed freedom of the press. No one disputes that fact; probably the Long machine would agree that the purpose was to stifle the opposition of . newspapers to the regime. Possessing the right of freedom of utterance newspaper editors ought to ,e conscious more than they are of the obli gation conferred upon them of honest use of that right. Many of the leading publishers are distorters of news, false guides of opinionrpropagandists of evil prejudices. The vicious wav in which the Chicago Tribune torpedoed prohibition by news distortion and by encouraging disobedience of the laws is recalled. Hearst's papers have been notorious vendors of his whims and exhorters to mob passions. On down the line are smaii-ume spite sneets wnose capital consists of warping re ports and feeding on hatreds to inflame the public minds Some are scandal sheets living off the blackmail. The press is free, all right. And that freedom is sadly abused many times to the great shame of those who regard rewspaper worK as an Honorable profession and a social re sponsiviiuy. ; Refutation ALPHONSUS O'REILLY, who is doing his share in pre paring Salem's part of the American Guide, a WPA pro ject, has uncovered an interesting tidbit of local history.

THE ARCH CAPE TUNNEL The state highway commission has opened bids on the 1300-foot Arch Cape tunnel job, and we can expect to see ah early start on construction of the bore, with the adjacent bridge over Arch Capo creek. This is a red letter day for Clatsop county, since the bid opening signalizes the a t a r t of construction work that will end ultimately with completion of the scenic Cannon Beach-Nealikahnie mountain road. This road when finished will be one of the mast magnificent scac- lc drives on the Oregon Coast highway, or In the entire north west. It will open up some wonh- derful new panoramas of ocean. forest and rugged cliffs, the bulk of which will lie within the boun daries of Clatsop county. The new road, long a dream ct forward looking citizens of this community, will be perhaps our county's greatest scenic asset, one that will bring nation-wide tame when motorists become acquaint ed with its beauties.

HENDRICKS The city of Stayton 2-13-31 and its trade district have Interesting history: S S (Continuing from yesterday:) Resuming the Lockley interview with W. H. Hobs on: 'I served by first apprenticeship in the postoffice here nearly 60 years ago. A year ago I was appointed postmaster and consented to take the place until & suitable person eould be found. . . . After I bought Mr. Whitney out Tom Sims and his brother-in-law, John A. Shaw, with Lee Brown and myself, built a saw mill at 'Mill City. S m "I owned the land on the Linn county side, so we decided to Put up a mill there to work up the timber in that district. . . . We later sold the mill to the Ham mond Lumber company Life is no longer as simple as it was SO years ago. 'We live a whole lot faster, though I doubt if we form as many warm and lasting friend ships as we did in the old days.' " S The reader noted, in yester day's issue, that Senator Hobson told Fred Lockley: The three I 1 pioneer residents of Stayton are Mrs. Anna Stayton, Uriah Whit ney and myself." The Lockley in terview was published June 2, 1926. Two of the three have since gone the one way trail. s s s The first to go was Uriah Whit ney, who, born March 23, 1834, and passing October 2, 1928, lived over half way through his 96 th year. Senator Hobson testified that Whitney was one of the squarest men he ever knew. He had been a partner of W. H. Darby for five years in general merchandising at Aumsville, prior to 1871. Also, at a later time, in the same town, in partnership with W. H. Hob son. He had been mayor, treas urer and councilman of Stayton, and for a third of a century treas urer of Santiam Masonic lodge, which was a revival of the Sub limity lodge, running back to the early days before the Civil war. Next to go was Senator Hob son himself. He died May 27, 132. Born March 14, 1847, he lived more than two months into his 86th year. S The third of the pioneer resi dents mentioned by Senator Hob son is very much alive, of which fact a letter to the Bits man from Elizabeth A. Korinek gives vivid, interesting and complete evidence. Health By Royal S. Copeland, M.D. A WELL-KNOWN child specialist ones said, "no child should aver be permitted to grow up with a physical handicap that modern science can correct'. I am glad to say that mod ern science has helped to prevent many diseases of childhood. It now offers cures for afflictions which onlj a decade or so ago wer considered hopeless. For example, "marasmus" Is no longer Incurable. Though the condi tion Is still encountered. w know mora about it and are able to bring about recovery. This disease Is often spoken of ae "malnutrition" and is due to the fail ure of providing certain essential sub stances In the diet. It may be tha result of underfeeding, perhaps be cause of aom misunderstanding of tha amount of food required by an in fant. Often It la produced by a diet deficient in one or more essential sub stances. Sometimes It results from Improper feeding practices. It may be dua to soma congenital defect or chronic Infection, such as diseased tonsils, adenoids or nasal Kinases. It may follow chronic diarrhea. Pathetic Sight The young sufferer is Indeed a pa thetic sight. He resembles an old man. The skin is loose and bangs in folds over the prominent bones. He is skinny, emaciated and mark edly underweight. As a rule the temperature la below normal. Tha pulse Is slow and the child may have persistent diarrhea. The condition may be complicated by acute Brlght's disease and sometimes Infections of the ear. In treating marasmus the first Im portant step Is to And out what is causing it. All chronic Infections and congenital defects must receive at tention. An adequate and well-balanced diet should be prescribed Im mediately. This diet should be prepared from a formula that la easily tolerated. Aa a rule It Is rich in proteins and low In fermentable carbohydrates. It should contain an adequate amount of vita min and mineral substances. To make certain of the latter there should be supplementary feedings with orange juice and cod liver oIL It Is vitally necessary to give the child expert medical attention. It Is necessary for the child to remain under observation for a short time, merely nntil all tha necessary tests are made. Do not be misled by the belief that marasmus is a contagious disease. It cannot be spread from one child to another. Answers to Haalth Qaariea Mrs, E. K. Q. What would cause the face to break out In red spots which Itch for a few hours and then fester? This condition has persisted over a year. A. This may be due to some fault in your diet. Regular habits are Im portant under the circumstances.

The letter, dated at Stayton, January 29, this year, follows In fall, reading: S "I spent this morning most en joyably, reminiscing with Mrs. Anna. Stayton, widow of Drnry K. Stayton. There is no one here now who has lived here, as long as she. There are also few wo men of her age so active. For Instance she told me that having washed yesterday she had her ironing finished today at 8 a. m. She takes an active part in affairs of the local Baptist church and grange and is better informed on events of the day than many half her age. She was born in Vir ginia in 1851, on June 4. S S "She was a daughter of Rev. William Jeter, a Baptist minister, who came to Oregon in 1865 from Missouri. The family was origin ally from Virginia, moving to Missouri In 1855. When the fam ily crossed the plains to the Wil lamette valley they had three wagons, one with a team of horses and two others with tour yoke of cattle to ecah wagon. were oxen and the others cows, at rViA wapa wall vTrviA with so they were well provided with milk and butter on the long jour ney. "There were 109 wagons In the train and Joe Craven, who settled at Dallas, was captain. "Also in their train were 118 armed men. This was probably due to the fact that early in 1865, when the government turned loose Confederate soldiers who bad been prisoners of war, they were permitted to enlist to fight the Indians and were on their way out west to do so. S S "- "Beside Rev. Jeter and his wife (nee) Emeline Thomas, others in the family were Sarah, Anna, El las, Matilda, James and the baby blanche, two years of age. "Upon reaching Oregon they settled first on the' Grandfather James Jory place near Salem, known as the 'Red Hills.' coming to the Stayton section in 1866." (Mrs. Korinek wrote in an ar ticle for The Statesman not long since: "Anna Jeter (Stayton) came with her parents from Mis souri, when but a small girl, in 1865. She was born in Virginia, later moving to Missouri. The family lived for a year near Sa lem. In 1866, her father, Rev. Wm. Jeter, began to look for an other location. He had several yokes of fine oxen he wanted to trade in on a place. A man by the name of Goodman living where the Conrad Niebert place is now, wanted oxen to go to east ern Oregon, so Rev. Jeter and he had little argument in making a trade.") This was nearly equal to the mule case nearly 20 years before the mule for the mile square of good land, related heretofore in this series.

"When were you married T" in quired Dad. On October 18th, In Reno." "In Reno? How did yon happen to go there?' Bruce looked bit ashamed but also defiant as he answered, "Well, I eouldnt seem to make Connie un derstand that our engagement was not a success. I didn't want to tell her about Bernlee; I felt no woman would understand what she meant to me. Then Bernlee had mad a long visit; she bad decided to re turn East at once. The thought of losing her was maddening. She cared as much for me as I for her. So Monday night of that crazy week, I persuaded her to marry me at once.

She had gone to San Francisco the that night. Did she love him so-eauchT I wondered. And ho and Bernico were married even then, happy together. That happiness didn't last Jong, however, i suppose a person like Miss Sass would say that happiness so gained never does. "Too will he asked to product this not if yea can, or at least to repeat its content," my father informed him. "I can do both. It waa ver short: bow tt seems sad, but at the time it appeared harsh, demanding, almost threatening." "Will you ten me the gist of ttr "I will tell you -the exact words.

A man who is madly in fore, who has been so recently mar ried to the e-irl of his dreams, who wants to hold that happiness sacred from the touch oz the world, sees suck a message from another woman as a threat, an infringe ment, something to be resented and fought." "No matter what his obBgauon to this other woman might be?" "Nothing mattered but Bernlee, told you."

Would my father advise him on what to say and how? He was certainly leading him on to most damaging statements now. Bruce added another angle. "My next thought was that she might actually take some action when ana found I was married. After all. I knew her very slightly, a pretty gm at a summer hotel, a gin wno had been brought on to luxury and was teachinar now because her family was impoverished. How did I know what course saw might taker More pleasing and socially promi nent girls than she have sued the sons of rich men for breach of oromise." -You were really afraid or thatr "1 was. Mr. Martin: afraid be cause it might touch my wife, would draw her name into the public eye with ail the usual dirty sensation alism, would taint our precious rela- oonshfp with something sordid and common." "You must have reached a rather abnormal state of mind," was my father's dry comment. Lloyd s face changed expression. From showing confusion and dis tress and an effort to make us un derstand, tt shifted to quiet, shame faced caution. I think I was at the time" ho admitted. "When did you receive this note?" "About eight o'clock Thursday night when I called at the Geary Street hotel for my maQ." "You had just returned from your trip to Reno?" "Yes, about dinner time. We had registered at the St. Francis where we intended to stay until we found an apartment. Bernico waited there while I went the few blocks to my own rooms. I Intended to nick on my mail, write a note to Connie, get a - lew more eiotnes, and tell the management I was moving out la a few days," "But the note from Miss Sinclair changed your plans?" I forgot them. I left tha hotel with the note and began to walk about the streets, trying to decide what I should do. I didnt want to return to Bernico until I was calmed down and had determined on a course of action."

The flash that covered Brace's face was deep, but he managed to look my father in the eyes. "Of course, I read that she had beea murdered. That was Friday morning.

By the time wo camo back, it would have beea forgotten." My father regarded ami pretty coldly, I thought. He was not turn ing out to be much of a aero. He was certainly not a very clever criminal either. Even I could see how incriminating most of bis statements sounded. "Returnlnr to that Thursday night, Mr. Lloyd," Dad almost de manded, so legal were tne tones ox his voice. "You received the note which so upset you at 1:08 o'clock. You walked about the streets xor a while. When did yon return to your hotel?" Why. I doni know. I sat in tns square opposite the St. Francis for a while, la the park, you know.
