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.

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.

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.-

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 !

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. The nat

Woman Is Member Scien

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
