NEW MIDWA HIGHWAY WILL BE PUT THRU County, fourt Orders New Short-Cut to Sams Valley Built at Earliest Possible Date Estimated Cost $27,000 Ranchers Re joice. Construction of the long dis ctinsed . Midway highway, which will provide a straight line route 10 SamB Valley and tributary . country, from this city, was ord ered by the county court this mor ning. ' The official name of the road, hy order of the county court, will be the Medford-Sams Valley high way. It will be sixty feet wide, and two and one-half miles In length. The county engineer has estimated Us cost at between $27,000 and 2K,000. Negotiations are now underway between the city and the Owen Oregon Lumber 'company for the extension of Court street to the Vaolflo highway. This will divert the traffic from tho heavily travel led Pacific highway to Central avenue, and avoid the current of tourist traffic In effect, the ex tension when completed will give tho heart of this city a straight lino route to Sams Valley. The new road connects with established roads and follows the quarter-section lines. It will he the standard 0 feet In width, and In, time may he embraced In tjte market road system of the county. The Medford-Sams Valley ronu nlso provides a shorter route to the new Med ford airport. The road will shorten the dis tance from Sams Valley, and elim inates 16 curves In the present route from Sams Valley, vlu 'Cen tral I'olnt. Adjustment of rlght-of-w n y damages are now under wuy, and arbitration or court action will provide a final decision where con tests loom.. Under the low, dis putants have 20 day in which to file suits, but under the emergency clause,. to be Invoked hy the county court,, legal actions will not hall road eonstructlon. U Is- expected to have the road ready for travel before the opening of the coming fruit season. The- county court has had the building of the. road under con federation for many weeks, . and have Journeyed over the route sev eral times. They felt that the road won a necessity, that It would be built at a later date at a greater cost, and that now was the time to act. It passes through a section tear the northern city limits, Ideal for email acerage and sub-divisions. A majority of the property, hold ers directly affected were in favor of the road. Protests were filed by cltliena owning property aleng the 1'aciflc highway at the cqnnectlng points, the chief ohjoftlon being to the road viewers' Appraisal of the right of way value. The coun ty and property owners came to terms In most cases however. Chester T. Uaker. secretary of the chamber of commerce, appear ed before the county court, and reported that this city backed the road as of high Importance to all concerned. K. E. Nealon of the Sams Valley Orange, also voiced approval of the project, holding that an outlet was needed for the heavy tonnage and "we people are tired or turn ing right angles to get to Med ford." ' He cited that the tonnage of the Modoc orchard would pass over the route, Including the traf fic of Sama Valley and the Table Itock districts. He opined further, 'that a goose might find his w-uy to Sams Valley," but under the old route no stranger could make It. lie said he once owned a steer that got lost trying to find Its wuy home over the present route. One of the chief side Issues of the Medford-Sams Valley road will he the erecting of a brldgo across Hear creek of sufficient strength to hold tile heavy fruit trucks. The bridge at Centrnl Point now bear ing this traffic, has been con demned and Is dangerous. Commissioners Alford and Dur ell, and County Judge Sparrow, agreed In their decision ordering the construction of the road. Baseball Standings lrlflc Cooet league. V. L. Missions 1 S Iah Angeles 1?

SEND GRANDMA A H TO PRISON FOR SEX PAMPHLET Explanation for Young Peo ' pie Used By Religious, Civic and Health Organi zations Declared Violation Laws. : NEW YOItK. April 24. (VP A Bray-haired grandmother toUay: faced a possible sentence of five; years In prison or a fine of $50001 or both, for sending through the, mails a pamphlet on sex she originally had written 11 yearn ago for her two Bonn, then in their 'teens. Mth. Mary Ware Dennett was convicted by a jury In Brooklyn federal court of violation of the postal laws in sending obscene matter through the mails. The jurors were mostly married men of middle age. - The pamphlet entitled "the sex side of life,' tin explanation for younff people," was printed In 1918 in tho medical Kevlew of Reviews, In used In the Uron Se ville, N. Y-, schools and has been circulated for 10 yearn by many religious, civic and health organi zations. llr arrest followed receipt of a copy of tho pamphlet by a wo man resident of HrottbeH, Va. Tho defendant was tho only witness, Judge Warren li. "ltur rowtt ruled that testimony nf a long list of defense witnefu.es, In- hiding educators, physicians and social workers who had endorsed It would bo Immaterial and irrele vant. Mrs. Dennett testified sho hat! written the pamphlet to give a franker version" of sex to her two sons after having read 60 publications and finding them ull unMitlbfnctory. The government, in presenting its case, merely read the 24-page pamphlet to the Jury. The defendant is 53 yeara old. She was seated during the trial between her two sons, .now 24 and 2S years of age. She was re leased in custody of her attorney, pending sentence tomorrow. CO.MMANKKU McXl'TT, VISITOR (Continued from Page One.) more veterana who are now in over crowded etate iuHtituiions and who should he cared for in government hospitals." Commander McNutt said there Is no hope thai the special session called hy rrexlueiit Hoover can take up the hospital legislation, and It will he next december when the 71st congress meets, before It can now be considered. The address, in part, follows: "It Is easy enough for the crowds to cheer when men march away to the measured beat nf martial mu sic. It Is easy enough for the same crowds to cheer when the remnants come home and It is easy euough for tho same crowds to forget. Hut there are two ornuiitatlons Which do not forget. They are the Amer lean legion and the American le gion Auxiliary. The first thing on our program today, as it has been since the very inception of our organisation. U adenuate service to the disabled ex-service man. "Very early In tho history of our orgaulxatlon we saw the waste, the extravangance and the red tape which surrounded the relief of th.- disabled men. "The Legion did not stop there. It took upon itself the important task of seeing to it that the Indi vidual disabled ex-service Titan re ceived from a grateful government the benefits to which he, us an individual, was entitled. Not Time to Stop "Hut this is not the time lo stop and point with pride to the achieve ments of the past, no matter how glorious that record may have been. "We have a present program for the disabled man. ami the first thlug on that program Is to Im prove and expedite our own serv ice to him. "The second phase of our reha bllltatlnn program is to bring about additional liberalized provisions In the laws affecting disabled vetcr- aus. "The third phase is to see to it that existing administrative agen ctes give a liberal Interpretation to existing laws. "rir the most of us tho war ended with the armistice, hut for the disabled man the war is all of the days. He gave all that a man had aud all that a man hopes to be to the nation. Nothing within the power of this government Is too good for bun In return. "Second ouly to tbe disabled man i comes the needy and homeless child of the war veteran, lhe father is gone. No one Is there to lend the hand of assistance. No one is there to guide the child In the important formative period. "We have some other things on our program. We have an Amcrl canlsm program. Americanism I a word which has been bandied about considerable of recent years but to tbe American Legion It has a very different meaning. "We are interested, in a funda mental thing; in seel'g to t that the cntiuren ot tne coming genera lion not only know but understand and are willing to accept the re sponsibilities of citizenship. "This same reason underlies our support of the Boy Scout move Intent. Our support Is not. as many people wnitld have you understand a step In militarize the Loy Scout 'organization but it is given because we believe In the Hoy Scout move ment. We believe that It builds manly, courageous men who are J willing and able to accent respon sibilities when the responsibilities 'rise.- RRY CALL F0RAIMEE1S I California Solons Suddenly Change Plans and Send for Famous Evangelist .

UPON THE CITY AS The much delayed spring season seems to have come all at .onoe this week, as the trees and early shrubbery and vegeatlon In general are ready to burst out into leaves and shoots, the early planted "nr- dens that had been hanging fire for weeks are perking up, and the lawns, due to the recent ruins, are thick with gren grass and prolific with dandelions, while many early bulbs and other outside plants are j Moomkig. This situation with a ! bring spring out with a veritable crash of beautiful verdure. Especially is this situation no ticeable In the city ptrk, which al ready is a place of neatly ordered walks and green beauty.

DISCOVER ROCI T UBERCULOSIS m FATTY ACID . . . . oU r AlCl 111 SeafCn TOf UUfe tX- pected From Chemical Woman Is Member Scien tists Making Research at Yale University. By Oscar Tcirtlng Associated Prewj Science Editor. WASHINGTON, April 24 DlKCovery of a "fatty" acid which may have fur reaching effect on science's search for a tuberculosis cure was reported today to the academy of sciences. The acid, a chemical substance which is almost a solid at certain temperatures, induces the growth of tubercles when Injected Into normal animals. It may be the root of tuberculosis and a study of its formation in human cells and its activity may provide a new angle of attack against the disease. The finding Is the result of re search in Rockefeller Institute by Florence R. Sahln, only woman member of th academy, and Dr. C. A. Doan and Dr. C F. Forkner. The work centers around the hope that n means of curing the disease may be found by studying the chemistry of the bacillus which arts as a par:usite of one of the cells of the body. Ono part of the study is to tear apart the component elements of "Mihe cell; another is to produce! these fractions in large quantities; the'third is to show the effeci if . . In lnfInRnnlBH, lh, f,rilwth of the tubercle bacillus. The chemical work In connec tion with tho co-operative study is heing done in Sterling laboratory, Yale university." by Professor T. U. Johnson and Dr. II. J. Anderson. The work of pr. Sabin and her co-workers has been lo find the effect of tbe separated substances. One, the hitherto unknown "fatty ,iltM t ..h ., ,inua(, intIduced into tne tissues of a irabbtt easiy produce reactions The newly found acid has the power of causing rapid multipli cation of one strain of blood and tissue tt lis in the body to the exclusion of nil tho olher cells of which the body is made up. 6 N.
