At the Forum luncheon at the J lo
ti'l Medford thin noon, Kd White, who
acted as chairman, gave an appro
priate and pleading Introduction to
the principal speaker, John l'liilip
outta.
Mr. Soutia'H address was Hhort and
filled with clever and humorous re
lunrka. Ho d!d not dwell upon tho
beauties of the valley and endeavor
to cram liln audience with insincere
flaltory, but with his easy manner
i.nd sparkliiR remarkH, kept the as
mmbly rocking with laughter. He
told of Reeinn a woman scrubbing
stairs in a hotel In which he was
slaying and noticed that she perform
ed tho taHk daily. Uelievlng her to
lio a hard worker and worthy of a
Jlttlo diversion lie aiiked Iter if she
Xioulct like to attend tho concert that
night. In return site asked him, "Is
tills the only night you'vo got off?"
From this reply ho deduced that she
had more engagements than he had
imagined.
In concluding his address .Mr. Sou
Da made Hie remark, for the benefit
of people who contemplato making
Bpcoches, that a speech should be
similar to a modern girl's dress, "long
enough to cover the subject, but short
enough to bo Interesting."
.Mr. Sousa's speech measured up
to the above requirement, being of a
length and style that did not drag.
Fow speakers who have addressed
