FALSE REPORTS CAUSE RETURN OF XMAS SEALS Members of the executive com mittee of the Christmas seal sale have reported that one-third of the letters containing seals have been returned to their office, the major nortion of the seals being returned through erroneous reports that 60 rjer cent of each dollar which Mart' on county may keep Is to be spent for campaign expenses and salaries. Miss Mary Fake, county seal sale chairman, states mat tne reports circulated are grossly mlsrepresen tative, as the only expense for the campaign in this county is for In cidental office supplies to carry on the routine work and the postage for the mail sale. No salaries are paid and the city and county work ers are giving generously of their time for the success of the sale. If Marion county sells nine seals per capita, 60 per cent of the pro ceeds may be kept nere to be used entirely for health service through out the county. The Oregon Tuber culosis association affiliates with the Marion county health associa tion in the effort to eradicate tuber culosis. In 1925 there were report ed 78 cases of tuberculosis and 28 deaths. In 1928 48 cases were re ported and 21 deaths. The dif ference of 30 cases lower reported 192$ shows what the public health service Is doing for this county, the object of the move ment being mainly preventive. Thirty-five per cent of each dol lar goea to the Oregon Tubercu losis association. Mrs. Saidle Orr Dunbar, executive secretary in Ore gon, recently received honorable mention by a representative of the United States public health service for the work being done in this state. All campaign materials come to the local association from the state office. Only five per cent goes to the national association. All of the many fine health publications are given free to the" public through this fund. The local a.ssoclations distribute these publications and furnish health service to the people in each county.

October I. on a charge of violating the national prohibition act. The quartet appeared before Fed eral Judge McNary and entered pleas of guilty soon after the Indictment was returned.

Art Fuller. Ed Allen and Bob Kellogg, three men arrested here Thursday morning after an attempt to rob the Star Exchange nad been frustrated and against whom charge of stealing an automobile had been lodged will be turned over to Yakima, Wash., authorities for punishment, according to the local district attorney's office. The three men are wanted In Yakima on a charge of highway robbery. They have confessed to holding up a taxlcah driver of that city recently and compelling him to drive them to Portland. Local authorities were willing to turn the trio over to Washington authorities inasmuch as the punish ment for conviction on a highway robbery charge will be much more severe than for stealing an auto mobile. Telephone conversation with the sheriff's office of Yakima Saturday revealed that the sheriff and deputy were at Eureka, Cal at the present time after a prisoner there. They will probably stop here and en deavor to take the prisoners with them. Whether they will fight ex tradition has not been learned. Allen la believed to be the lead er of the three men. It was he who was carrying the automatic pis tol at the time of their arrest. Y.W.C.A.ELECT NEW DIRECTORS Football Scores Georgia, 12; Georgia Tech North Carolina 48; Duke 7.
