RebekaKs Give
Surprise Party
A .very pleasant surprise was per
petrated last evening tn honor of
Mrs. Lee Wlmberly by the membeis
of the Kebekah lodge. Following a
small dinner party at the Wimberly
home at which Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Kelley, of Carnes, were the guests,
Mrs. Wlmberly was surprised by the
arrival of a large number ot the
members of the lodge-- who brought
with them bountiful refreshments. A
pleasant evening was spent with
music and conversation. The party
was given by the lodge in anticipa
tion of the departure of Mr. and Mrs.
Wlmberly and daughter Florence for
Phonelx, Arizona, where they ex
pect to spend tbo winter. Miss Wlm
berly will enter school there. They
expect to make the trip by automo
bile, and will probably leave the lat
ter part of next week.
Renewed Interest
in Auto Business
The prospect of a good yield of
fruit with good prices being paid, Is
leading to a renewed Interest in the
automobile business, dealers report.
Fruit growers are beginning to tnlk
about purchasing cars, and It is ex
pected that a great many sales will
be reported-during the fall months.
Past years have shown a greatly in
creased sale record during the
months Immediately following the
fruit harvest and It Is expected that
the case will be the same this year.
Fruit growers are already estimating
the amount of profit to be realized
from the sale of their fruit and many
are planning on putting a portion of
this profit Into new autos. This re
vival of buiiiness Is greatly welcomed
by the auto dealers, as sales during
the summer months have fallen off
greatly, this fact being largely due,
it Is believed, to the gasoline short
age and the torn up condition or the
roads surrounding tho city.
To Arouse Interest
In Douglas Qounty
James Hildeburn will leave soon
for middle western and eastern
states, where he expects to remaiu
for about a year working In the in
terest of Roseburg and Douglas
county. This Is the first time that a
plan has been put on foot to have a
Held representative I if the. east to in
terest people In this country. Al
though practically all of the realty
companies have been carrying on ad
vertising campaigns in various stales
no move to put a representative in
the field had been taken up to this
time. Mr. Hlldoburn will represent
two local companies and will con
duct an advertising campaign and at
the same time Interview personally
such persons as are interested in
Douglas county. He Is obtaining a
large amount of data, including gov
ernment weather reports and crop
reports, and Is also taking along
other material which will enable him
to Interest prospective settlers.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Order Placed For Large Quan
tity ot Badly Needed Fire
Fighting Apparatus
IS EXPECTED HERE SCON
In Ad.lition lo Iliwo and Other
Kqllipiiicnt Council I'urrhases
New Hydrants to be Installed
to l'rotect the ScIiu1k.
As a result of tho recent Investi
gation conducted by the State Fire
Marshal regarding the fire apparatus
and protection in Roseburg. action
has boon taken to add materially io
tne equipment of tho fire depjrt
inent and the new apparatus is ex
pected lo arrive in tho city within a
short Mine.
One of the most necessary requlie
menls has been supplied by the pur
chase of one thousand feet of 2
inch hose. Heretofore the depart
ment has been handicapped by not
having a sufficient amount of hose
to got more than two streams of
water Into action where the hydrants
were a considerable distance away
from tho scene of the conflagration.
After each fire It becomes necesnarv
to dry out tho hose before nultine It
back on the truck, and consequently
only a half of the hose possessed by
the department could be kept In use.
The new purchase will give a reserve
which can be used for emergency
purposes.
A door opener was also ordered.
This implement equips the firemen to
force the locks on heavy floors. It Is
nearly always the case at a fire Hint
tho doors needed for entrance into
the burning building are locked and
considerable time is lost In cutting
them away with an axe, while at th
same time a great deal of damage Is
caused. With the door opener Hie
lock can be forcqd without delay, and
a very slight amount of 'damage
done.
Another time saver Is the hydrant
coupling. This Is a new device which
saves a great many moments in at
taching the hose to the hydrant. A
quarter turn makes the coupling se
cure and the delays incident with
fitting the threads will be done away
with. Several severe fire losses In
the past can be traced directly to
damaged threads on the hydrants
which prevented quiok couplings,
giving the flames a good headway.
One of the most recent of these was
the burning of the Parkhurst homo
on Ella street, where fully five mln-
!iles were lost because of damaged
threads on the hydrant, the fire
gaining such headway that the build
ing was destroyed, while had a
coupling such as has been ordered
been In use the structure would
doubtless have been saved.
Not alone has protection been af
forded for property, but a first nid
kit, to be carried on the truck, has
been provided in order to care for
firemen who may be imdured. This
kit has already been received and
has been made a part of the truck's
equipment. A set of hose patches
have also been received and tnese
will be used to rejuvenate some of
the old hose.
One 40 foot extension ladder has
been ordered and also a 10 foot scal
ing ladder. The department was
very short on ladders previously and
theses additions twere sorely needed.
A cellar nozzle, designed for de
livering water automatically In A
smoke filled cellar has been ordered
and will form a valuable addition, as
III a Siamese connection which en
ables the firemen to take two lines
of hose off the same connection.
In order to provide additional pro-
ection the council has placed an or
der for five new hydrants. One of
these will be Installed near the Rose
school, another at the Benson school
at the corner of East Commercial
avenue and East Third street, the
third will be placed at the Intersec
tion of Pine and South streets, and
the fourth near the California Pack
ing Corporation s building in Norm
Roseburg. The fifth hydrant will bo
held In reserve to be used in case of
the breakage of one now In use.
The order has been on the way for
some time and should he received
within a few days.
Doctors Disagree
On Gland Merits
unnTtAVfl Ane. 28. Portland
physicians differ as to whether the
rafting or goat gianas mio uie in
an body Is a success In combatting
old age.
Some opinions given yesternay
ht tho method Ti'Jd possibili
ties worth c-XDerlmentiTTg wfOl m ie'
termine their real value, while other
opinions were skeptical of real worth
of such an operation. Practically all
the physicians agreed, however, that
the operation Is still In an experi
mental stage and as such should no
receive too much credence.
Dr. WHllam F. Kaiser said that it
was posslblo that the transfusion ot
glands might prove bcucllciul. He
said some patients who had under
gone such an operation had coniu un
der his notice but that he had not
studied them sufficiently to make, up
his mind yet" as to the value ot tho
gland operation. He expressed tho
belief that the use of human glands
would prove more satisfactory than
the use of goat 'glands or the glands
of some other animal.
The entire practice was branded
as "bunk" by Dr. H. M. Orcctie. ' Ha
declared that In his opinion the oper
ation was not followed by the results
claimed for It.
"I am very skeptical," declared
Dr. William House. Dr. Houso said
that he had had no personal exper
ience with the transfusion of glands
and for that reason could not Bpeak
except from what he had read and
heard from his fellow physicians.

these storms are in the air. Germany
will break up into the small states
of a hundred years ago. The 3,000,-
000 Germans now held by the Czechs
will join the Saxons, while the Aus
trlans will Join the Bavarians, per
haps. "There will be a war between the
Poles and the Czechs, as the latter
have an understanding with the
Moscow government. In this war
Hungary will help the Poles, in or
der to get back Slovakia, once her
province. Should the Rumanians
have difficulties with the Russian
bolshevik! over the old province of

the Hungarians to get back Tran

well that the allies can't help tho
Czechs in a military way, and per

"Tho point that, troubles the Hun
