Only 17 persons lost their lives as a result of motor vehicle crash es in April, while a year ago 33 deaths resulted from similar causes, the favorable record for the month helped materially in im proving the report of fatalities for the year in Oregon, the total for four months being 74 during 1935 and 86 in 1934, a reduction of 14 per cent. In spite of the Improved fatality record, the total number of motor vehicle accidents increased during the month of April over the year prior rising from 1,718 in 1934 to 1,736 in 1935. Accidents for the first four months totaled 6,735, a little under the 1934 mark of 6,899. Injuries resulting from auto mobile accidents numbered 433 this April and 443 in April, 1934, while the year’s total for the period ending April 30 was 1,591, as compared to 1,596 last year. Eight pedestrians were among the fatally injured persons In April, comprising virtually half the number killed. One death was the result of a railroad and motor vehicle collision. DRUNK TOLD TO SCRAM Wallace Reeder, Ashland im biber, was given his walking pa pers or an alternative of incar ceration Monday in Judge Fuller's city police court when charged with being drunk in a public place. Judge Fuller advised Reeder to re turn to a saw filing job in north ern California and to show up missing in Ashland for six lrtmths, or he would be compelled to serve out a 60-day sentence, which was suspended. . Some people do tricks with mir rors, while others use carda, but one Ashland stenographer attemp ted to perform surprising feats with a lamp chimney and succeed ed In surprising herself. This saga of the chipped chim ney. or glass-on-thc-floor, happen ed Monday of this week when At torney Bill Briggs dropped into a hardware store seeking a lamp chimney for one of the old-fash ioned oil Illuminators When the clerk climbed to a high shelf for the old fashioned commodity, he tossed the "Unbreakable" glass flue to Briggs, who qualified for the local ball club by missing the missile, which proceeded to bounce a half dozen times and come to rest whole and unbroken, true to ita guarantee. Briggs was so Im pressed he indulged in a repetition of the feat to clients who dropped into his office, and even demon strated the chimney'a remarkable quality to Lucille Smith, his sten ographer, who too marveled. Later, when tne poouiar local ’ attorney darted out on business, his secretary carried on with the' demonstration to the first stranger ' to enter the office. Miss Smith monologued the accepted prelude, I then tossed the lamp chimney onto the floor with alarming abandon,' which changed to 35 cents worth of horror when the temperamental thing flbw into a hundred tiny pieces. The hardware store sold two lamp chimneys Monday. What probably is southern Ore gon's most extensive and varied flower garden is in full bloom at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Jackson at 606 Iowa street. The Jackson lot, which extends 300 feet back into the hili, presents a veritable fairyland of color ramp ant with blends, contrasts and sprays. Mrs. Jackson who has spent four years developing her hobby, has more than 200 varieties of American iris, with a number of foreign iris for contrast, all of which were in full bloom this week. The Jackson garden con tains more than 1200 different var ieties of flowers and flowering shrubs, and includes a fish pond, several comfortable benches and arbors in sheltered spots, with latest addition being a new lawn which will add to the galaxy of living things. Mrs. Jackson has been welcom ing many friends and garden lov ers to her home, and plans are un derway for the erection of a flood light over the lot in the next few days. The avid gardener, true to her pastime, can name any one of the hundreds of species from mem ory. tell of its habits and pecuiar- itles, and has assembled a number of flowers and plants which are new to southern Oregon. ----------•------------- Attacks on public officials re sult from a tax on public patience. —Weston Leader.
