FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND THE UNITED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use tor publication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper and also local news published herein. 'Without or with of feme to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly at it goes." Byron 1 Einstein on Armaments ' In a cable dispatch to the New York Times, Professor Albert Einstein, the eminent scientist, set3 forth his views on disarmament and limitation of armaments and presents a aimnlp formula to renlace the limitless discussions that only evoke suspicion and distrust. In brief it is to the effect that the way to disarm is to disarm, that it is the makers of munitions and the military and naval forces only that profit by the perpetuation of armaments and that nothing would happen to a nation that scrapped its armaments. On the contrary the example would influence other nations to fol low. He says: it hu no Wrtm a aeneralhr recognized axiom that the tjlant arms menu of all nations are proving highly Injurious to them collectively. I am even Inclined to go a step further by uie assertion mat, unaer pres ent da. conditions, anv one state would Incur no appreciable risk by un dertaking to disarm wholly regardless of the attitude of the other states. If such were not the case It would be quite evident that the situ ation of such states as are unarmed or only partially equipped lor de fense would be extremely difficult, dangerous, and disadvantageous a condition which Is refuted by the facts. I am convinced that demonstrative references to armaments are but a weapon in the hands of the factors Interested In their production or In the maintenance and development of a military system for financial or political-egotistic reasons. I am firmly of the opinion that the educational effect of a first and genuine achievement In the realm of disarmament would prove highly efficacious, because tb suce-.edlng second and third steps would then be Immeasurably simpler than the initial one; this for the obvious rea son that the first result of an undertaking would considerably weaken the familiar argument for national security with which parliamentari ans of all countries now permit themselves to be Intimidated. Armaments are not economic assets but liabilities, un productive exploitation of men and material and drains on the economic reserves of the state as well as demoralizers of industry and destroyers of morals. But the Einstein form ula of getting rid of them is much too simple and revolution ary to be seriously entertained. The armament profiteers and politicians will see to that. The United States isolated as we are, could set the ex ample without loss of prestige or influence, by cutting our armament to what was actually needed regardless of what other nations did and the example would be followed quick ly enough. It shouldn't make any difference to us what the armaments of other nations are, they will grow less as ours do, or grow greater with ours. . . In fan t Dea th Ra te In Marion County Lowest in Oregon The infant death rate in Marion county is 37.5 as com pared with the state rate of 46.9 and the United States rate of 68.7, according to the report for the past year issued 'iTnirsaay oy tne Manon county The Irony of Fate It is the irony of fate that Thomas B. Kay should ba forced by the condition of his health to forego the realiza tion of his life long ambition ami decline to become a candi date for the governorship with the prize almost within his grasp, and thus round out his thirty years of public service in the highest office in the gift of the people of Oregon, for there was little question of his election. Of all (he candidates before the people or likely to come before thorn, Mr. Kay is the best qualified, in knowledge of state affairs, in executive capacity, in aggressiveness and in accomplishments. In Bound common sense, in ripened business judgment, and in far visioned enterprise, be tons the list of men in the public life of the state! Although Mr. Kay is a shrewd politician, he has 'never been a pirssyfooter or side-steppor, or played the hypocrite. He has always had the courage of his convictions ami fought the good fight. He has been constructive and an exponent of fair play. It is fortunate for Oregon that Mr. Kay has two years more to serve of his sixteen year tenure of the office of state treasurer and member of the Board of Control, where his knowledge, experience and counsel will prove invaluable in keeping the Bhip of state on an even keel, no matter who the pilot. That his recovery in health may be complete and permanent is the wish of everyone. Sour Grapes Dropping its apologetic eulogy of Water Company's sharp practices for a tew minutes, the Statesman pauses long enough to say under the caption "Worst with their news": Thomas B. Kay. state treasurer, will formally announce his candi dacy for the Republican nomination for governor during the coming week. , , . The Capital Journal la advised through sou- .cs recognized to be close in the state treasurers counsel that the die l.as been cast that Mr. Kay Is preparing to launch his campaign." Saturday's Capital Journal. Just another case of trying to brat tlie gun and It back-fired. First lth the news doesn't always mean the first with the truth. The Capital Journal's authority for this statement was Mr. Kay himself. Saturday Mr. Kay was a candidate and confirmed it by telephone from Tortland, though he did not jvant to be directly quoted. He was also a candidate Mon day and repeated the statement in the Capital Journal office. It was therefore news and published in good faith as such. .Late Wednesday afternoon Br. Kay telephoned the Capital Journal that, after consultation with his physicians, that he would not be a candidate. This was also news and published as such. All of which emphasizes the fact that if you want news. Instead of history, ynn have to rend the Capital Journal. health unit. Marlon county has an enviable record In child health, due to the health education and program carried out here for . the past five years by the Marlon county child health demonstration of the Commonwealth Fund. The program Is being continued by the Marion county health unit, with Dr. Vernon A. Douglas as county health officer. The ttoal number of births oc- curlng In the year 1029 among res idents or Marion county was 810 oi which 307 were boys and 413 girls. Of these babies, 244 were born In hospitals. Among Infants In the unty, that Is children under one year of age. there occurred 31 deaths in 1928 as compared with J in The number of deaths occurring in the county among residents dur ing 1929 was 656 which shows a de elded advantage for Increase pop- ulatlon when compared with the number of births occurring. The principal causes of death were- heart disease, 124; cancer, 78; apoplexy, 78; kidney diseases, 75; communicable diseases including tuberculosis, 62, and auto accidents, 6. Of the communicable diseases there were 20 deaths due to tubercu losis, 16 of which were over 20 years of age many of these being heads of families. The number of auto fatalities oc curring In 1929 compare favorably with 1921 when there were 13 re' ported. Over the United States as a whole, auto accidents have been in creasing and it is the only type of accidental death which Is now In creasing In this country. or the most serious types of com municable diseases there were 23 cases of diphtheria with one death. Of this number, 12 were adults, six were school children and flvs were pre-school children. The one death occurred in a pre-school child. In connection with diphtheria control. 1739 children received toxin anti- total for the past five years up to toxin during the year bringing the 7755. This does not Include those done by private physicians. Thirty-six cases of smallpox were reported with no deaths. This is not an enviable record and is due to the fact that a large portion of our population still remains unvaccinat ed. It Is interesting to note that 25 among unvacclnated adults were In eluded In the 36 cases of smallpox reported. In the control of small pox a total of 1738 Individuals were vaccinated during the year, bringing tne total number given by the coun ty health unit during the past five years up to 7518. Four cases of typhoid were report. ed and one death occurred. There was only one case of infantile pa ralysls reported during the year, one case of meningitis which died, three cases of sleeping sickness with one death, and one case of Malta fever. There were 56 cases of scarlet fever reported during the year and no deatns occurred. Under medical service. 1604 ex- aminatlons were given to Infants and pre-school children and 3895 to school children. In addition 152 ex aminatlons were made of adults. practically all or which were milk handlers or county dependents. In the control of milk supply for Salem, the Inspector made 140 visits to milk producers and 493 to dis tributing planta. under general sanitation the total number of unlsances abated during tne year were 193.

I The person, who called himself 'i their salty companion showed them I around. I They went through tunels, then I went further and further until they 1 came to huge rooms made out of salt. On they went until they came to the salt ballroom where the chan delier sparkled as though made of diamonds. They went through tunnels, then could see glimmering lights reflect ed in an -undergound lake, and some of the salt looked green and some gray, but some was so white it al most hurt their eyes. The children were given a din ner of chicken and vegetables and delicious blueberries for dessert, and then they went back to the ballroom. The colors and the lights were like dazzling crystals and then the mtulo began. Folk songs were sung and everrone danced. Well, they had awrer expected such a oartv. and they had nev dreamed there was such a place as this in the world. .It was surprising how many sur prises there were still leu in me world and how many places the Little Black Clock knew. They had never known there were actual rooms made out f salt under the earth. It was the Little Black Clock who had brought them here. They were lucky to have him for the leader on their adventures!
