Allied Accusations

icle charged that the Swedish so
cial democrats were supporting the
Finnish "bankers and industrial
ists" although they had refused to
aid the workers and refugees from
Spain.
Position "Unneutral"
The Red Star attack on the al
lied powers said that they were
maneuvering the Scandinavian
states Into "an unneutral" position
under the guise of aiding Finland.
The ultimate purpose of Britain
and France, the magazine said, is
to bring Sweden and Norway Into
the war bloc so that they can be
used as a spring board for attack
on Germany from the north.
French sources were quoted by
the Red Star to the effect that the
Rhlneland fortifications on both
sides had resulted in a "stand-still"
on the western front.
Therefore, these sources were
credited with arguing, the allies
must attempt to establish a Scan
dinavian front with the help of the
Finnish factions headed by Mar
shal Carl Gustav von Mannerheim,
chief of Finland's Brmies.
In order to achieve this end, the
British and French are now offer
ing mutual assistance pacts to Nor
way and Sweden, the Red Star as
serted. Saturday Closing

erative programs x X x one ob
stacle to efficient administration
in the states lies In rapid turnover
of personnel due to partisan poli
tical considerations. During the
fiscal year, one sixth of the state
health officers were replaced.
He suggested a merit system
for filling all responsible profes
sional positions.
During 1938, Dr. Parran said,
infant mortality dropped to 50.9
per 1,000 live births, the lowest
on record. Maternal mortality
was 4 per 1000 live births, the
lowest recorded.
The lowest death rates In his
tory were established for typhoid
and para-typhoid fever, scarlet
fever, diphtheria, infantile par
alysis, spinal meningitis, tuber
culosis, malaria, pellcgra, diges
tive tract diseases and nephritis.
Roads Dangerous
Parran said that automobile
accidents continue to take more
lives than typhoid, measles, scarlet
fever, whooping cough and diph
theria combined.
Cancer and heart diseases were
the only major causes of death
which increased during 1038, the
upward trend being attributed to
a larger proportion of the popu
lation living to older age.
Parran said that a "curious
public indifference" was respon
sible for a steadily increasing
number of smallpox cases. There
are more smallpox cases in this
country than any In the world
excepting India.
The national health service sur
vey of 800.000 families compris
ing 3.000,000 individuals indi
cates that there arc 7,000,000 per
sons In the United States suffer
ing from rheumatism; 3,500.000
have heart ailments; 3,700,000
from arteriosclerosis and high
blood pressure and 3,400,000 are
victims of asthma and hay fever.
Greatest unsolved problem in
medicine, Dr. Parran said, are
mental and nervous diseases.
There are more than 617,000 of
these cases in hospitals, he said.

Hore-Belisha, a national liberal,

But there were some doubts
whether he would do this.
He sent a message to his con

Siltcoos Lake Shore
Lines Are Defined
The shore line of Siltcoos lake
is defined by the state attorney
general as 100 yards distant from
the low water mark on the lake
and this does not apply to the
several islands in the lake, ac
cording to District Attorney L. L.
Ray, who has received an opinion
on the question from the attorney
general. The opinion was asked for by
the state game commission to
which the matter of hunting
ducks in the lake from boats was
submitted. The request was made
at the instance of the Lane dis
trict attorney.
Several local men who hunt
on the lake and others who have
islands there have recently asked
what the shore lines of the lake
really are. The law prohibits
hunting ducks in boats in the
lake beyond the shore line.
