Bab son, head of the Babson Statistical Organization, declares. "All householders will be compelled by law to use either gas or electricity for heating, cooking, refrigeration, power and other industrial and house hold purposes." A quarter century hence, says Mr. Babson. Kold will be made from Jead; butter, milk and cheese from kero sene; tides will be harnessed and the heat of the sun will be utilized iii in dustry. "Office buildings, factories and apartment houses will be built with out windows in order to obtain bet ter ventilation," Mr. Babson declares. "Street intersections, where traffic policemen are now necessary, will have overhead bridges. All main streets will have two stories of side walks with special provision for the parking of cars anywhere on the pay ment of a fee. When the heliocopter is perfected, every house will have a hangar on the roof. Mr. Babson said tbat clothing would be turned out the way news papers are by modern presses. "The cloth will be fed in one end of the machine like paper and the finished suit or dress will come out at the other end, pressed and in a box ready for delivery. Shoes well be made from an entirely new pro duct and stamped out at a rate en abling two or three factories to make all the shoes for the nation. Houses will be standardized and manufactur ed like automobiles. o A Mr. Welch of Medford will con struct a $10,000 fishing lodge on Rogue river. Just where the demand for such an institution comes from is more than we can conjecture. It is utterly impossible for us to feature overstuffed davenports, tiled bath rooms and electric ranges in com parison with a firbough shakedown covered with army blankets, a plunge from river bank into a pool, and the glow of the campfire. Mr. Welch may find tennants for his lodge, but not from the ranks of those who know that a steelhead tastes right only when broiled over live red coals, out in the open where nature pro vides the bath and the bed, and where every blessed one of us feels bigger and better than we really are. o A 50-car trainload of tractors was recently shipped into Mississippi to be used in the cultivation of cotton, and it is estimated that these ma chines will displace from the cotton fields 1300 men and 6200 mules. The South with its surplus man-power and limited development of resources, is facing a new employment problem brought about through the introduC' tion of modern machinery. o Coolidgc made a popular speech the other day in which he scored section al ideas and artificially stimulated animosities. He chose a subject dead easy for the present campaign has proved more than anything else, that sectional lines have been almost obliterated, in that the "Solid South" is no more. Despite the fact that Portland is credited with the lowest rate of in crease in the cost of living, as com pared with any one of 19 major cities, when going there you should take a dollar or so to eat on. o Presidential candidate Herbert Hoover had his fishing trip on the Rogue spoiled by persistent camera men. And being , a true sportsman and a good fisherman, Mr. Hoover was duly cranky about it. o With a voice choked by tears, Gene Tunney has announced his re tirement from the professional prize fight ring. There may be more to Tunney than the public has hereto fore thought there was. o Italy welcomed royally her sur vivors of the Italia. Other countries through which Nobile and his com rades passed, tried to do the same but were denied the chance. o The finding of a diamond in the swimming tank at the natatorium in Walla Walla, should serve as an in centive for diving. "O Auto fatalities are less; yet in four weeks 77 of the larger cities report ed a total of 514 persons killed. Medford had a warm time greeting Herbert Hoover. He did not tarry long; went fishin'.
