Did t. A. Raffety, chief traffic
inspector of the state of Oregon,
break the traffic laws of the city
Of Salem when he was arrested
here on the night Of April Cor
aidn't he?
s1 A special committee from the
city council, ordered to investigate
The case, reported back to the
Ieouncil last night with "exonera-
tions" for everybody. Inspector
Raffety and Chief of Police Mof-
fit, the report explains, were call
ed before the committee to relate
the circumstances pertaining to
the alleged traffic violation and
forfeiture of bail money, and the
committee, after making a thor
ough investigation of the facts in
the case found that no actual vio-
lation of the traffic laws had been
committed"
HAYDEN Not Called.
Miller Hayden, motorcycle pa
trolman and the arresting officer
in the case, was not called before
the special committee. Officer
Hayden, who first noticed the ma
chine which, he said. was operat-
ing on a downtown street with one
headlight and no tail light, was
not aware that a probe" was in
progress on the night in question.
1t was after Hayden had explained
in detail the circumstance sur
rounding the case that Chief Of
Police Moffitt announced the fol-
lowing morning he would file a
complaint against Raffety.
In the hope Of allaying criti-
cism that was being directed to-
ward the officers and foiling those
who were seeking to make capital

upon the case" the report con-
tinues, "Chief Moffitt filed com

Further the report says: While
the members OF your committee
feel that the step taken by Chief
Mofntt was a mistake and only
tended to eomplicate matters, we
also find that bis action was
prompted solely by a sincere desire
to relieve an embarrassing situation

A funeral in the Hills of Kentucky

We mission workers who were
accompanying the tent in Ken
lucky last summer, heard one
day there was to be funeral
not so far distant and as we were
all anxious to go we decided to
attend it.
We left the camp ground
about an hour later than the
time announced for the funeral
but We were told we would be in
time for they were usually an
hour later than the appointed
hour.
We went in the Mission Truck
and as we approached the church
we saw the funeral procession
arriving. 1t was a sight strange
to behold. First came the hearse
(if such it could be called) for it
was nothing more than a box
like wagon with two mules pull
ing it. The coffin in which was
lying the little seven year old
boy, was in the center on the
floor and completely encircling it
was the family seated on chairs.
Following this wagon came
two or three more wagons with
the near relatives and friends
also seated on chairs. Behind
the wagons came quite a few of
the friends and neighbors on
horse back and some walking.
Our mission truck was as much
curiosity to them as they in
their strange way of travelling
were to US. Many of these peo-
pie in the south among che
mountains never rode in an au-
tomobile, others never even saw
one for some of the roads are
impossible with a machine.

ture, a movement which has the
strong support of numerous in
f1uentisl organizations.
In an address before the Wom-
ans Club of Paducah, Joseph P.
Byers. Commissioner of Institu-
tions for Kentucky, stated that
an increase in the staff at the
Western State Hospital will per-
NIT DR.. Wallace Durham, the
Superintendent, and DR.. Edward
Davis. his Assistant, both of
whom are trained phychiatrists.
to hold consultations and clinics
in conjunctions with individual
physicians and medical associa-
tions of the counties of the wes-
tern district. in order that they
may examine, diagnose and pre-.
scribe treatment for the cases of
persons showing evidence of ner-
vous or mental arrangement,
and exercise a more thorough sr:
pervision of patients who have
been dismissed as cured from
the hospital.
Mr.. Byers stated that the ad-
vantage of this work is three
fold, according to whether the
view point is that of the individ-
ual, the State or the advance
ment of the scientific treatment
of insanity; in the case of the
individual, the insanity or loss
of mental or nervous poise is dis
covered in its incipiency, and
therefore, just as in abnormal
physical conditions, stands a
much better chance of being
cured, if it. is at all durable. with
out the necessity of residence in
the hospital; while in the case of
patients who have been dismiss
ed, such supervision, until they
have given satisfactory proof
that their nervous resistance is
sufficient for contract with the
outer world, will decrease the
number returned to the hospital
for a second or third period of
treatment.
From the viewpoint of the
State, Mr.. Byers pointed out,
leaving out of account the bene-
fit of maintaining its institutions
according to the most advanced
standards set by scientific inves-
tigation, research and expert
ment, the advantage is one that
can be measured by dollars and
cents; with the greatly over
crowded conditions at most of
the institutions as the basis for
an estimate even a casual OBJ
server would calculate the saw
ing in thousands of dollars. As
an aid to scientific research, such
a department make possible the
collection of more accurate his
tories of patients, and more
thorough investigations of the
causes of insanity, and will be of
