Tho outstanding development of yesterday's sessions wus tho offer of the Southern Pacific, through Its i president, lo make a "bridge" of Its northern California tracks for the Western Pacific to get Into ihe northwest.

She said she would soon be 80 years old. She refused to give her name and told Mr. Brown she had stop ped In Medford to iest two or three days while en roule by train from Seattle, Wash., to Sun Diego, Cul. She climbed Into the cockpit of the Copper King plane with little trouble und appeared 10 he anx ious for the ship to be in the air. After having been given a long ride, viewing the vnlley from dif ferent points, the old lady came back to earth and, without halting, walked back to her waiting taxi, which drove away and disappeared In the generul direction of Med ford, perhups tuking with her the record for being the oldest person to fly from the new airport. There were several passengers up with Mr. Brown Sunday, Includ ing a young lady who flew over her orchard home in the Phoenix dis trict, swooped low and waved to members ot the family' who hud been expecting her. With the good weather still prevailing, tho Cop per King service Is making arrange ments to take no a good many pas sengers on Thanksgiving day. A full realization of tho reepon nihility placed upon tho Hhoiilders of humanity In this age the re Hponsibility of measuring up to the great demands of the times was pictured hy Irving Vlning, princi pal speaker nt the annual Rotary club Thanksgiving meeting held at the Hotel Medford today, as the best way of expressing thanksgiv ing for all that has gone before. That progress In International re lationships cannot be made by America unless she Is able and willing to go into foreign lands with an open mind, leaving her national prejudices behind and rec ognizing the conventions, culture and attainments of other peoples. It Is only after she has done this that she will be able to offer sug gestions for Improvements In their lands, be said. A. H.

Tho aid which the little Christmas seals can render depends upon Ihe ' whole hearted spirit with which the citizens of .Inckson county try and use them. When you receive the seals In tho mall, remember you are protecting yYiur own family and friends by help ing to prevent tuberculosis." Boncock Explains Battery Service to Medford Motorists "Don'l think of your buttery merely as a convenient substitute for the starting crank," warns1 II. I.. Boucock. manager of the Wll lanl Itattery station at Kighth and Itartlett. "Your battery Is working every minute the motor !s running, i You couldn't run a foot without It. "Almost every day wo hear of people who havo worn out their arms and thefr dispositions trying to make the starting crank substi tute for a live buttery. It can't be done wllb the present day car that employs the battery for Igni tion, as well as for stnvtlng and lighting. "Kxpetienced motorists look to their batteries as carefully as they look to their gasoline snpplv. They find It a lot simpler nnd more satisfactory to change batteries In our service station, when neces wiry, than lo find themselves stalled on the road or In their ga rage. "I believe the tlmo Is close it hand when people will discard their old butteries as systemati cally as they discard the old oil In their trankcAso, Instead of In viting the Inconvenience thnt In variably follows when they run them to the falling point. Bat teries wenr out Jnst as surely as oil does. And nt their present low prices it doesn't pny to try and suueeie out their last drop of per formance, nt tho risk of having tho car stall at an Inconvenient time," Sir. Boucock maintains.

' The speaker declared every city must have-a central credit associa tion to J ni pro vo the collection of old accounts and turn Info cash what otherwise might he lost. He said that national surveys revealed the immense loss caused Hy credit business and nothing so far has been found to remedy The situa tion. II. T. Vance, alo of the school of commerce from the agricultural college, punctured the popular be lief that chain stores and mail order houses had weakened the business1 life of Independent firms. Hp said of the entire merchandise sales In the United States, 6t 'per cent was made by independent merchants and lfi per cent by de partment stores. Jle gave the chain stores credit for three and one-half per cent. The speaker declared the figures to be surpris ing but said they were a matter of .statistics. .Mr. Vance also delved into the methods of salesmanship ami man ner of display of goods, lie de clared that the public Ih always looking for new Ideas and will go to the esftiblishment where new ideas are most apparent.
