o o o o o MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFQftD. OKTOOX, THURSDAY, MAY Hp 392," p PACE FIVE Si u J :1 OPPOSES OFFER OF HENRY F a WASHINGTON. May H. Henry E Ford's willingness to buy 400 ships : f rom the shipping board. Involving a J largo sorappljig program, met with 1 tj Immedinto opposition today in some shipping bourd quartern. ( ."While the view was expressed that fs eventually three or. four hundred of the lnid-up ships, including for the ' . vjnost part Inkers, would ho forced on 1 f" t-pfc junk pile, some of the commis- . (doners said that It was by no means certain that the board would'agree to Jany wholesale , scrapping fur so mo j time to come. $f It was made clear that no offer ijxfrom Mr. Ford had been received at i;the board and the mombcrs aro Jawaitlng tiio return of Chairman 5 i O'Connor, from a trip to Detroit and jt Buffalo before, formally, going into Eunuch a question. - rCommisslon Thompson said: "For a long time certain Amer ican owners and operators of for eign flag ships have been urging the destruction of a largo portion of government ships. Hut none of the surplus ships .of other countries are being destroyed, nor has puch been proposed. Jt is costing approximately $500 each a year to keep the surplus ships owned by the. government. Their value, as naval auxiliaries at this moment of world condi tions cannot be accurately mea sured. Their value as Important uuits in an American merchant marine when normal world con ditions nrc restored. Is an added security to American cxpotiors, producer.! and consumers. Obvi ously, it would be greatly to the marine Interests of foreign na tions for the United States to de stroy one-third of its fleet of ships. As yet J have no sound reasons advanced why the United States of all nations should weaken Its nnval auxiliary nnd economic po sition in world trade, and stand alone in a program to remove surplus ship tonnage."

What Lamps Show if Factory Machinery Is Working In a canning factory having seven food-packing machines the manager has installed a little device near his desk to indicate whether or not all seven are working properly. The device consists of a panel on which seven miniature lamps are mounted, each of which is con- nectcd to one of the machines, so that every time a can passes to the filling machine it causes a lamp to Sash. As long as the lamps keep Sashing, the man ager knows that everything is coing well, but if any lamps fail to flash it is a signal to him that he is perhaps needed in the factory to untangle some diffi culty. A -switch is, of course, provided so Uiat the current can be turned on or off. .. Silencing Automobile-Door Noises . Squeaking automobile doors can some times be silenced by cleaning the rubber bumpers and the parts they touch with gasoline, wiping dry and powdering lib erally with talc dust. Oil should never be used as it ruins the rubber. If the door rattles, see if the rubbers are pressing against the door. If not, readjust them with the sctscrew, or by forcing small pieces of inner tube under.thcm with a screwdriver. New bumpers may be need ed. A few minutes' attention now and then will eliminate the annoyance. S OF FRACTURED SKULL NEW YOllK, May J4. (By Asso lat.nl Press.) Dr. Otto 1-1.

Charges that Agnes Toohey, 18 months old, was held by tho heels nnd dashed against a wall at a baby hospital con ducted by Mrs. Helen Oeisen-Volk have collapsed ns u result of an autopsy which followed exhumation of tho body. Tho attack occurred the day hefoco the, child died, according to the un corroborated testimony of a nurse but no signs of physical Injury were found on tho body yesterday. An nutopsy Is yet to be performed on tho body of William Winter, one month old who also died at the baby homo and whoae body also has been exhumed. Mrs. Volk is under arrest on a charge of baby substitution nnd vio lation of tho health code. Health department records have disclosed that forty-four babies died at the two establishments maintained by her since January 1, 1918. PORTLAND, May 14. Charges that Oregon Agricultural college has encroached upon certain courses assigned to the University of Ore gon by the state board of higher clrrlcula .are to be considered at a meeting of the board here Monday, said Joseph E. Hedges, secretary of the board. The University of Oregon hoard of regents has prepared;' a brief set ting forth that courses at Oregon Agricultural college In Journalism nnd commerce duplicate work as signed to the university and that encroachments have also been made in music, history, economics, sochlo- logy and teachers traininc. Oregon Agricultural college's brief had. not been filed early today, but was expected to be In the hands of the board before the end of tho week. The board of higher curricula es tabllshed the policy some years ago of giving to Oregon Agricultural college work along vocational lines, agriculture, home economics and en gineering. while the university has been Tfiven liberal arts, fine arts, ahd professional subjects.

As Seenby Popular MechanicifMagazine' Newspaper Pages Flashed by Radio Is Prediction Transatlantic transmission of photo graphs and newspaper pages by radio is a development likely to become a reality in the near future according to Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America. Two way talk by radiophones he also regards as an imminent possibility. A ticker that will actually print words on paper from a central broadcasting point, thus great ly amplifying present news-distributing agencies, is another of the objectives of radio-research engineers, and control of airplanes, submarines and other ships from a remote land station is, he be lieves, a possibility certain to be realised in view of the astounding progress al ready made in radio accomplishments. - Preventing Snow from Sticking to Shovel It is usually somewhat difficult to use a metal shovel for scooping snow as tfie snow has a tendency to stick to it. This trouble can cosily bo prevented by first cleaning the shovel so that it is abso lutely free from dirt, heating the metal part, and then covering it well with melt ed paraffin or wax. When the paraffin Is cold, the shovel can be used, and it will be found that the snow -will not stick. Of course, tins' will last only as long as there is a film of wax on the shovel, but it is surprising how long it takes before this film is worn off. - Wooden shovels may be treated with grease or rubbed witi soap. Ventilating the Kitchcrl In the construction of many houses the kitchen is built without much thought or consideration for the cook. The storm windows usually do not permit much ventilation and no pipe is provided to carry away the smoke and fumes from the gas stove. A good method of pro viding proper ventilntion is shown in the drawing. A wooden box incorporating The Markets Livestock PORTLAND, Ore., May 14.

WASHINGTON, .' May i 4V-Presi-dent Coolidge has definitely, decided to reappoint B. K. llaney, of Portland Ore., as a mcmljqr of the shipping board. r , Senator MeNary, republican, Ore gon, who called on President Coolidge today to renew his advocacy of Mr. J laney's ro-appolntmcnt, advised Mr. Coolidge that Mr. Haney would cop-t re-appointment. Ho Is a demo crat. There had ;bcen considerable doubt as to Mr. Haney's continuing as u member of tho board, It having been reported frequently that he might re tire when his term . expired next month, cither through failure of re appointment or declining ro-jippoint-mcht. During his service on the bonrd, Mr. Haney has on several occasions gone into sharp disagreement with some of his associates as to questions of policy.- Ho cast a dissenting vote in tho plan for giving tho emergency fleet corporation a free hand in hand ling ships. In the sale of the president-type Pacific liners to the Dollar interests, however, he voted with the majority of the bonrd. ING Gil LONDON, May 14. (By Associated Press.)

Nor Is this to bo taken as either a West or Kat side fight. I am for Med lord and the wrole of our unexcelled City of Med ford, no Kast or West side with me. That's That. Now there has come Into existence lately what Is rolled Tho Better Site Committee, In order to save superfluous writing 1 shall refer to them in short us It. S. C. II. S. C. say that the I. & R. p round is so far ahead of tho North Holly Street site that it would be practically useless for us poor devils to wasto our votes. Well. yes. the P. & F.. site is immensely ahead of the Holly Street ground In tho way of ereatini? sickness and hospital to take care of the different B. S. C. soy they will build tho Bear creek. Now I submit that the the northwest. This would then carry fever, scarlet fever, possibly hay fever which aro In the stagnant waters of the pot holes in Bear creek right into the building. The children would he forced to inhale those germs nnd bo sent home to their mothers to bo taken care of by them. B. S. C. say that tho water In pig's wrist it is. I defy any one to make such a fraudulent statement. After the flood waters have ceased then there is nothing but seepage from ono stench pothole to another further down; running. Ha! Ha! That's Hint. It Is peculiar to note that the B. S. 300 feet from Bear creek, and 300 feet Board of Trustees should have the say insured me absolutely that the Bonrd It. S. C. then going to dictate where the tioning the Board of Trustees making I think B. H. C. Is nssumlng immense proportions In running this school problem when they are trying to take of the Board of Trustees' hands. That is If the Bonrd of Trustees havo nothing to do with B. S. C. and one of the trustees told me they had not. B. S. c also say that the Holly street ground is not conducive to hen it h the substance of one doctor's statement one doctor tho poor fish. I have Interviewed ten or eleven doctors statement, so I think the ono doctor who wrote it is trying td pull wool over of Med ford are Intelligent enough not that. At the time the Washington School of tho finest speeches regarding school affairs l3' no less n person than nur good friend tlus Newbury. CJus was honest in his speech every word fef it every one who listened said and thought so, but Clus nor any other person , could forsee what a death trap the futuro would bring around the Washing ton school. Oo there today and see confronts the children at all times by years ago a man was run over in front of tho Washington school, also one of tho students of the school; let us pray to Ood to Have us from further disaster. As 1 said before no one could forsee this state of affairs and no one -can bo blamed. ' But now what is B. S. C. trying to do? Two moro death traps must nnd shall ho created. "Aro we trying to dare the devil? No. I Bay, no, a thousand times no. In addition to the terrible danger breeding germs on Bear creek seven-tenths of our children are asked to cross Hlvcrsido nnd tho Bear, creek bridgo with all kinds of traffic to contend with. Is that human? Compare this with tho Holly Street site whero there are few cars and plenty of parking space, which Bear creek does not have. That's that. Mosituitoes havo their breeding place In Bear creek by tho millions good enough .for our children, of course, thank you B. C. tt almost looks -as though wo nre asked to crento a reptile which will thrust its deadly fnngs into tho flesh and hood of our boys nnd girls for whom vo aro all working, trying to bring them up to be good ami healthy men and women. That can never be done by sending them into that slimy stench hole of Bear creek. That's that. i -. - Where are the septic tanks of Ashland, Talent nnd Phoenix Where aro tho slaughter houses, of, Ashland Talent nnd Phoenix? Go thoro and see for yourself. Seeing Is believing. Would nny oho of the school hoard or the B. S. C. build himself a homo on tho 1. & K. site? Oh, No! But yet they ask to send our children into that cesspool of Bear creek, a fltto hunch of people. I must say I nm surprised at those who havo children. Some of those who haven't any, what do they care. They havo reasons of their own to loeato the site on the P. & K. That's that. Another thing, why do the hoard of trustees publish n picture of tho i future high school before tho election? Tho plans nre made by an outsldo architect they claim the arch Hoc t does this for nothing, lia! Hal That's that. . , "., Wonderful philanthropic architect. What business has ho to meddle with our Internal affairs? Ho does not live nnd pay taxos hero hut. taken part as a rank outsider in our liour of struggle, inspired, no doubt, by, th B. S. C. and tho board of trustees, and yet tho loiter says they are absolutely neutral. That's that. Wo need an architect In Medford. .Wo have one. For years he hardly mado n living but had faith enough In tho futuro of Mcrlford tn stick, and now when something comes along whero lie could make n dollar wo give it to an outsider, but wo won't unless our own man gets n fair show. That's that. ( Citizens of Medford, resent this Infernal action nnd vote for7 tho Holly Street site. Mr. Clark, our local nrchltnct, has built the Hotel Medford, ah achievement for any architect to' bo proud of, and has built many other flno buildings and flno houses, among which, ono of tho finest Elko temples on tho coast, tho Cooley Theatre Building, a wonderful show house, etc., ftnd now without giving him at least a show here comes this buttlnsky and makes propaganda by publishing a new high school for tho P. 4- IC. site, free of charge. Tho neutral board says so. Ha! ila! That's that, "Pop" Gates Is tho only man who says he belongs to the B. S. d. Surely" he Is not tho whole push, hut anyhow he speaks. I have always ridmlred "Pop". for his outspokenness, itlthough I did not nnd do hot always agree , with him; but ho speaks, and that Is What I like about him. Permit mo to say that I love a friend. "I ndmire art enemy, but I hate a sneak. Mothers of Medford, I personally appeal to you from tho bottom Uf'my , heart. Exercise your franchise and kill this reptile with which wo aro con- 1 fronted. Ilemember tho brunt of caring for your sick child has to he borno by you. The father has to attend to, his vocation which takes the wrirry toff3 his mind. But you, who take caro of the boy from his crndlo to his man hood, you who pray for your boy, give all your love for him and to him, do not allow this disastrous affair to come into existence, ahd save our fair city from this blemish. . I havo always felt there Is one place In which the nation, cities, towns, apd individuals can afford to ho extravagant, and that Is education. Whatever tlte cost of education may be It can never ho as great as tho cost of Ignorance. The stability of any nation, economically nnd politically, Is dependant ore an educated citizenship, not only In theory but In fact. In addition J would like to say there is one other place wo can afford to he extravagant and that Is the prevention of dlsensc. It would seem to be an obvious fact that the cost of disease prevention can never bo as great ns tho cost of sickness and that Is the reason I am making this nppcnl td you to help select the Holly street site. And now one moro matter In conclusion. About two or three years ago, we were called upon. to vote for bonds and a high school building on tho Holly street site. Tho plan became commonly known us the John Mann plan because John Mann was tho prime mover In purchasing for the school district this ground and for which ho was outrageously abused. I say out rageously because John Mann is an honorable man nnd his plan was tho right ono. It has been substantiated by the experts and I fought for It then. Wo wero defeated. . .We voted again, and ngnln wore dofeated. This time wo will voto again and we will win. 1 will fight for tho John Mann plan And when I go into a fight I fight to win. I cure not who quits tho John Mann plan, even as I understand John himself Is a llttlo weak-kneed on tho proposition, but It's dollars to doughnuts when on tho morning of the election ho looks his two bouncing rosy cheeked youngsters In the face ho will say: Como on, mamma, let us go and voto tho John Mann plan and tho Hoy Street sito, and so say I, and so say wo all, and so mote It ho. . .
