Medford Mail Tribune Dftllf Tvtfltr-farth lm. McWtlf rui-uiiui tMT. MEDFORD, OHUGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER z'o "9-!)- No. 211. V Today By Arthur Brisbane Warning to Arabs. ; Pittsburgh's Big Bay. More Caesarean Sections. Beware of Emotions. (Copyright by King Features . Syndicate, Inc.) Yesterday Britain made the Arabs' imdefslunil that murder is not a safe pastime under a British mandate. At Ilaiea '.three Arabs were sentenced to death, by Chief Justiee Sir Michael' MacDon liell, for causing the death of Isaac Maniaan. . . . The men convicted and Arabs witnessing the trial called upon Allah to resent it. Allah didn't say- anything. He was missing from the .swnc, as angels were once missing in Constantinople. Christians had heen assured that at the last moment if the Turks took Constantinople an gels would appear in the square before the Church of St. Sofia and smite them. Turks took Constantinople, have held the city through all the centuries since. No angels have appeared. Mjoral: If you want any thing done, don't depend on Allah. ' Signs of Mohammedan and Arab unrest in Algeria. Moor ish tribesmen attacking French troops on tho south, slope of the Atlas mountains ' killed 50 and wounded many. "A column of : the Foreign Legion, hard fighters, killed many of the Moors.v-"- - ... -, No serious; Mohammedan Up rising lias ooourred for ' hun dreds of years. iWhcii Mo hammct put his men on a pro hibition basis, they fought marvelously. Then their en ergy died out. If another Mohammedan up heaval should come, airplanes, gas and tanks will take care of it in a new way. i Pittsburgh had a big cele bration yesterday, and for good reasons. Fifty years ago you could wade across the Ohio river in many places with water no higher than your knees. Now tho government has built fifty dams, costing $118, (M)0,(MI0, giving at least nine feet of water, enough for large boats' all year round through out the 1,NH) miles of. stream between Pittsburgh and tho Mississippi. Ohio river traffic has in creased in twelve years from four million six hundred thous and to twenty million, nine hundred thousand tons. The river now makes pos sible a saving of $20,000,000 a year in- fright charges. - Dr. Bloomfield, noted ob stetrician, conducting a Caesar ran clinic in Chicago, said mod ern women lacked "the re sist iinne their mothers and grandmothers had for under going the hardships of child birth." Therefore Caesarean operations will 'be resorted to more and more. Necessity for Caesarean op erations could be avoided by more exercise, more nourishing food and more weight. The Assocaltcd Press makes Dr. Rlnomfleld say: "Children will have to be borne as was Caesar." Caesar's mother never needed any Caesaran operation, although that legend of "Caesarean section" grew up In the middle ages. - Roman law said that every wo man dying In advanced pregnancy must be cut open after death and the child saved. The Idea was that It might be a boy, and a useful Roman soldier. IS Staters Slaughtered 40 to 7 By Stanford Kitzmil ler's Long . Run Feature . of McEwan Triumph 0. S. C. Unable to Stem Card Attack. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 1!). VP) Coach John J. McEwan'g Uni versity of Oregon football team, which two weeks ago went down before a Stanford avalanche, turn ed viciously on Leo Gotland's Ida ho Vandals today and ran up a score of 34 to 7 as more than 20,000 persons watched Johnny Kitzmiller, the Flying Dutchman, land his grid comrades with an 80 yarfl dash for Oregon's second touchdown. The Idaho squad, considered one of the most powerful and at tho same time most colorful in tho history of the school, and unbeaten until they bucked up against Ore gon, managed to grab their dis tance in midair plays. ' Their sole touchdown was mado in the first quarter when Pcder son. bulky quarter tossed to KerBh isnlk who was thrown on the Ore gon six-yard line on two succes sive plays, with the ball on the one-foot line Wilkle grabbed it and rushed It for a touchdown. Dlehl converted. v Oregon's victory was due to its backfield, plus . ability to nab passes which flew up and down tho field until line smashes put them over. Oregon literally swarm ed over Idaho with a variety of plays which failed to Btop the Stanford team, but which seemed to baffle the Vandals. Many of Idaho's passes wero fumbled and recovered quickly. Within three minutes the ball changed hands as many times. ' Kltzmlller's spectacular run was tho outstanding play of the game. Ho received Pederson's punt on his own 20-yard line and mowed his way down the field. Pedorson s'howed his ' Vandals how to play the game and star red with a series of line plunges which kept the ball in motion, al though he tilcd to make any great gains. It was a pass from Kitzmiller to Hobison over the goal line that Robinson managed to bring home the third touchdown for Oregon. It was freak play and some delay was caused because of the swift ness with which the play trans pired. On a pass from Kitzmiller to Archer wftlch went out of bounds behind the goal line, tho referee called It a touchback and awarded the ball to Idaho on Its own 20 yard line. Barrett, on a latoral pass from Wllklo bounded 37 yards around Oregon's right end. Barrett made another line smash but was stopped by Archer in ills tracks. Wilkle retaliated with a line smash but was thrown for a yard loss by Robinson w-ho stop ped him and then was thrown to field by Chrlstensen. Wilkle re mained on the ground for nearly five minutes, injured, but rubbed his neck and resumed play.
