To sec with your own eyes
something well done teaches
more than many words of talk.
Boy scouts are taught to use
hatchets and axes, and yester
day at the hig hoy sout camp
of Allaire, New Jersey, well
taken care of hy Mr. Thomas
McCarter, Jtr. Warren W. Bar
bour and other friends, the
boys saw wood chopping as it
should he done.
M
Peter McLaren of Melbourne,
champion chopper of Australia,
took the thick end of a big log
allotiug the thin end to a local
chopper.
McLaren stood aside until
the local man had cut his thin
end half way through, and then
chopped through the thick butt
of the white oak in one minute
and 17 seconds. An ordinary
wood chopper would do it in
30 minutes.
M
McLaren showed the boys
how to throw a heavy axe from
a distance of G'O feet, burying
it deep in a tree trunk, within
a quarter of an inch of a spot
designated. That accomplish
ment might he made embar
rassing for a holdup man.
How to sharpen an axe with
a file, dulling the too sharp
blade a little afterward, how
to cut through a big log, al-.
ways leaving an end of the axe
nut of the wood, to prevent the
axe sticking in the log, are
things that every chopper
should know. '
McLaren felled an enormous
dead chestnut tree, hard, dry
wood, in a few moments, telling
the boys as he chopped how to
make a tree fall where you
want h.
After all his chopping he
showed the boys that his axe
blade by Vlumb, of Philadel
phia, manufacturer of standard
boy scout hatchets, was still
fcharp enough to shave the hair
from his forearm.
If middle aged men would
become interested in good axes
and in chopping, as Gladstone
was interested, they would live
longer, healthier lives. An hour
a day with an axe will conquer
any overgrown waist line and
restore energy to any liver free
.if cirrhosis. Nevermind if your
farmer neighbor asks "did you
cut down that tree, or did the
woodchucks gnaw it down!"

President Hoover Announces
Consolidation Into Four
Great Independent Trunk
Systems in East, Is Ap
proved by Roads.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (P)
Agreement of eastern railroads on
a consolidation into four indepen
dent systems was announced today
oy I'resiucm. nouver.
The president had asked the
railroad chiefs to map out the
consolidation.
Only 'one minor point remains
to bo worked out in the gigantic'
consolidation scheme. That has
been left to arbitration. '
The railroads are the I'ennsyl-'
vania, the New York Central, the j
Baltimore and Ohio and tho '
Nickel Plate systems.
The Wabash-Scaboard system,
provided for under the interstate
commerce commission's plan is
sued last December, would be
abandoned.
Workers Protected
President Hoover understands
the plan provides for tho protec
tion of employes and of local com
munities and fulfills tho intent of
congress as expressed In the trans
portation' act of 1921).
The consolidation program must
be submitted to tho interstate
commerce commission for appro
val. The president said ho believed
the plan will contribute to oppor
tunities for employment in the
present depression and also in
crease the stability of the rail
roads themselves.
. He also expressed the belief that
eventually the consolidation would
result in lower rates to the public.
Fifth Line Unfavored
The interstate commerce com
mission a year ago laid out a plan
looking to the development of five
great trunk lines but objections to
tho fifth trunk line caused dis
agreement among railroad leaders.
The new plan provides for tho
Virginian railway on the south
and tho New York Central on the
north as the boundary roads in the
movement.
The interstate commerce com
mission, the president said, lias no
power to force consolidations but !
under the transportation act of ;
1 9J0 has the power to approve
such a move.

Supporters of Gordon for
Speaker Put Local Man
On Spot Influence Deuel
and. Day.
A prominent Med ford man is one
of the keys being worked on by the
opponents of Frank Lonergan in
their endeavor to accomplish the
election in the coming legislature
of Herbert liordon as speaker of
that body, according to Ralph Wat
son, political writer in the Port
land Journal, who virtually states
that Pop Gates state highway job
is being used as a pawn in this
contest, which is growing warmer
daily, to switch the votes of IL S.
Deuel and K. B. Hay, Jackson coun
ty members of the legislature, from
Lonergan to Cordon.
The Rogue River fish closing bill
Is another pawn being used in this
game of trying to switch pledged
votes. , . -. j, . .
In part Watson writes as fol
lows: "It is a peculiar struggle in that
Ii tier pan has 3l members of the
house pledged to his candidacy. It
requires 31 votes to elect, that be
ing n majority of the house mem
bership of 60. Representative Gor
don, to win. must induce at least
seven members of tho house who
have given their pledgoB to cast
I heir votes for Irfinorgan to re
pudiate those pledges and enst
their votes for him.
"During the last 10 days or more
different members of the house
pledged to Lonergan have been
whip-sawed by Gordon agents who
have urged a variety of arguments
in the attempt to break into the
Ixmergan support. Efforts were
made to pry James Chinnock of
Josephine county away from lon
ergan with tho argument that
Lonergan is opposed to Roguo
River closing, while Gordon is for
it, and that if Gordon were to be
elected he would see to it that the
river was closed, at least so far as
I ho action of the house was con
cerned. Chinook, however, did not
yield.
"The same argument was put up
lo Representatives K, II. Day and
lialhert S. Deuel of Jackson county,
both Ionergan supporters, and
when they did not desert the lon
ergan camp word was slipped to
them that if they did not come over
to Gordon a very strong probability
existed that State Highway Com
missioner C. H. I'op) Gates of
Med ford would hn lifted out of that
berth and the place given to some
one outside of Jackson county.
Roth Day and Deuel, however, still
arc In the Lonergan line."
