Miss Mary Garden, still very
younK, returns to America
weighing only 1 1(5 pounds. Ifer
prescription is "diet, thinking
and sunshine."
The diet 'is. meager, hardly
enough for a few canary birds.
Sunshine abundant. Thinking,
doubtless, very deep.1
To weigh 116" pounds is not
important. Hut if all of us imi
tated Mary Garden, ate less and
thought more, civilization
would progress rapidly.
Children dream great deeds.
Youth plans thcin, aecumulat
rw'ing years and dullness abandon
heiu, with most of us. But oc
casionally a start for immor
tality or death is made.
Alexander with his handful
of men plunges into Persia. Col
umbus starts across the ocean,
although they tell him be will
"fall , off the edge." Peary
starts for the North Pole. Stan
ley enters unknown . Africa,
Lindbergh lands in Paris.
The latest adventure is that
of Ditcman, young Montana
cattle man, starting alone in a
liny monoplane on a trip from
America to London, with gas
enough to last 27 hours. ;
Win or lose, the adventure
is worth- while, for a good ex
ample stirs ambition in others.
The odds may be 1000 to 1
Bgainst success, .but the odds
lire fair. It is ten thousand
limeS' better to live, having
ilmie something, than to exist
having done nothing,'
The death of Thomas Has
tings, most distinguished of
American architects, is a great
loss to his profession, and a
loss inexpressible to his friends.
Many enduring monuments,
testifying to his ability, include
the great public library in New
York, and the memorial amphi
theatre in Arlington cemetery,
where the unknown soldier lies.'
h addition to inborn ability,
Thomas Hastings possessed the
ability to work hard and think
ahead. Often as a young man,
pointing to the old reservoir on
Fifth avenue in New York, he
said to friends:
"They will tear that down
some day, and build after a
public competition. I intend to
win that competition because I
am working at it now."

STEM PANIC
Wild Selling Scare Hits

Reassurance By Leading
Financiers Has Rallying
Tendency Near Close All
Trading Record Broken.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2-1. (JP) Tile
most terrifying panic of Belling
since the war scare of 1914 dealt
a crushing blow to the leading
stock markets throughout the coun
try today and was checked only
by prompt reassurances from Amer
ica's leading bankers. All records
for wild and frenzied trading were
broken and, while prices rallied
substantially during the afternoon
from the lowest levels of the day,
closing prices of most leading
stocks disclosed severe declines.
The recovery In prices, which
followed the appearance of a re
assuring statement of the bankers
led to a rebound of 35 points from
the earlier low level in Johns-Man-ville,
while numerous others gain
ed 10 to 20. U. S. Steel sold more
than 2 points above the Wednesday
close, American Can 8, Sears
Roebuck S'.i and Union Pacific 3.
The closing tone w unsettled.
The sales approximated 14.000.000
shares, a new record, and the ticker
tape was about 2 ',4 hours late.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. (JP)
Thomas W. Lamont emerged from
the bankers' conference at the of
fice of J. P. Morgan & Company
early this afternoon and announced
that insofar as the bankers had
been able to learn, no financial
houses were in difficulty.

proposing an inquiry into the stock

Investigation pressed at the regular

The Sale yesterday reveals that
Detroit prefers the largo sizes,
while New York hat siiown a
preference for the smiiUer HlzeH.
The iloscs sold yesterday hIho
demonstrated that the fruit, to
bring the top prices, needs to be
highly conditioned , and of a high

VALLEY BOSCS
BEST SELLERS
FOR NEW YORK
Eighty-Three Per Cent of
Pears Sold Are Grown
Here, Is Report to Traffic
Association Ripening Is
Viewed As Impractical.
lOlghty-lhree per cent of the
Huso pears sold on the New York
market, are grown In the Rogue
River valley, a report of tho New
York pear committee to tho Rogue :
River Traffic association today
said. The New York committee is
composed of the heads of leading
fruit buyers, operating in this sec
tion. The committee also reported
that they regarded as "impractical
the ripening of Boycs for the New
York market" as practiced by tho
Winter Fear committee, in its
campaign in the development of
the Detroit market. The reasons
given were: that the volume of tho
Now York market was, too largo to
permit of ripening; the lack of
ripening warehouses, and that New
York fruit sellers understood:,. the.
handling of Bosch. "-
David Rosenberg, president . of
tho Traffic association, said that
despite these objections, "Boscs
will sooner or later bo rlponed for
tho New York trade." Tho success
of Bosc ripening in the Detroit
market, aroused the Interest of
other fruit sections and shippers
generally throughout the . Pacific
coast. It, was also declared New
York was slow to accept Innova
tions. Prof. Henry Hartman, Oregon
State college pomologlst, is now in
New York City, investigating pear
marketing and storage conditions,
and will conduct a series of ripen
ing tests In ripening sheds built on
the same line as ripening sheds
used in the banana trade.
Ripening Needed
Growers generally feel that
ripening will place the Bosc and
other winter varieties In the hands
of the consumer in prime condition
for eating, and end the drawback
occasioned by the buyer being
forced to throw away a high
priced pear because he could not
blto it, in a steel-hard condition.
Local growers and shippers desire
to place the Bosc and other late
pears on the market in first class
eating condition.
Laboratory tests of fruit hero to
date have cost association mem
bers and non-members a total of
$2086, a report read by Ouy W.
Conner showed. This was at an
average ccost of .592 cents, and
average cost to association mem
bers of .545 cents. It was estimat
ed at the start of the season that
the cost would be .75 cents per
car. A refund of 20. IT cents per
car to association members on the
cost to date wan shown.
Tho Big 7 company to date has
handled 2,000,000 pounds of New
town apples, and uf this amount
approximately 677,000 pounds
wcro culls, destined for the elder
mill. Tho apples, this year run to
small sizes.
Water Injures Tree
In a short discussion It was
argued that the raising of the
watrr level, due to Irrigation, had
caused a deterioration In tho ap
plo trees of this section, resulting
In a high economic: loss. President
Rosenberg said that this caused
mt ailments, and that more
drainage was the need. He also
said that R. I. Htewart & Hon had
Installed a ditch digger, which he
held would be an important Item
In future orchard culture, by re
ducing tho cost of dralnago
ditches. i
President Rosenberg said the rig
chlsplled out a "beautiful ditch."
Irrigation, ho said, had brought
drainage p'rohlcms, which would
have to be solved. In connection
with the government survey
underway.
Rawles Moore, counsel for the
association, reported that In con
nection with the application for a
reduction of the export freight
rate between this city and Port
