Annual Meeting of Jackson County Association Ad dressed by Dr. Hutchens Oregon's high record for sui cides, her large population In state institutions, brings proof of the necessity today for in creased study of her mental problems. This was the message brought to Medford yesterday by Dr. Wendell Hutchens of the Oregon Mental Hygiene society who spoke before the annual meeting of the Jackson County Public Health association in the court house auditorium to more than 100 health workers and in terested listeners from all sec tions of Jackson county. Oregon ranks fourth in the United States for suicides, with a total of between 2S0 and 300 reported each year, he said. High Insanity Rate Oregon also has a very high insanity rate. Dr. Hutchens stated, showing cause here for much study. In two years Ore gon spends three million dollars caring for the people placed in her state institutions for the mentally unfit and criminal of fenders. There are in thestate Institutions for the Insane, the feeble minded, wayward youths, and the penitentiary 6,174 peo ple each year. This means that one out of every 16 people In Oregon spends some time in one of these institutions. The need at the present time. Dr. Hutchens added, is for less technical talk in psychiatry in terms that the layman cannot understand and more practical and direct treatment of mental problems. The world is divided Into two classes of people," Dr. Hutchens summarized, "Those who can get along in society, nd those who can t. Many times," he added, "people can't get along because of very sim ple emotional disturbances, which can easily be corrected if studied in time. Progress Cited Progress being made by the Child Guidance clinic in Oregon was emphasized by the speaker, who pointed out that these clin ics do not deal ,with insanity cases, but with behavior prob lems and minor emotional prob lems. Insanity develops in the adult, not in the child, he ex- U7 . in i i 'as - -:i U V V. ,1 i I f BAWL BABY-Ferema.

These are but a few facta ob tained in a study made by Maud Wilson, home economist of the Oregon State college ex periment station, the results of which have Just been published as station bulletin 369, entitled 1 "House Planning Ideas of Ore gon Rural Women." Laura Wells is co-author. In order to find out the Ideas of Oregon .homemakers based on actual experience, a survey was made, by means of ques tionnaires, of 450 homemakers throughout the state. About 60 percent of these actually lived !on farms, while the remainder lived in villages, suburban :ireas or on small acreages. For ;he most part home-makers Sub mitting lliswril lu iiiv nursnvir naire were members of exten sion units in the various coun ties, and 99 out of the 450 were graduates of the school of home economics at Oregon State col lege. Some of their conclusions varied considerably from those of the professional builders. Although most of the home makers queried preferred separ ate dining rooms, they also wanted the kitchen to be large enough for use In serving fam ily meals comfortably. Further more, the women questioned were not in favor of a combm tion dining and living room. Only one woman In eight fav ored such combination. Outdoor dining areas, on the other hand, were popular both for family meals and for feeding crews of farm help. As to sleeping arrangements, 99 percent of the homemakers WHAT DO YOU EVER DO TOR DADT Mass Istriwt lie? a atp-pler one.

A second bedroom on the first floor was desired by many of those with young children. The bulletin, which may be had free from extension offices also discusses preferences with respect to washrooms, laundries. room dimensions, fireplaces, tioor cot:rir.s and many other features of the rural home.
