good air to start every red and

Only the power that made it

green trees, flooded with warm
winter sunshine, mountains in
every direction covered with
snow, and those mountains
start at an elevation of 7000

The sky is as blue as the
waters of the Mediterranean,
and not a cloud as 1ig as a
man's little finger. What looks
like a little cloud off to the
northeast is a three-quarter
moon, faint as a transparent
skull in the blue sky.
Beyond question this country
and great stretches of Xcw

it seem made by Divine Wis

If in the meanwhile you can
send your children out to spend

Ho told how he sold one-half
a berth to a tall, lanky individ

bought the other half complain
ed that there was no room for

the berth had such long legs.
The first man was Abraham

Secretary KtlniMou, in a note

Secretary Adams had ordered a

Secretary Adanw, while not di

he had admitted the "substance"'
of his alleged Philadelphia re
marks criticizing Mussolini. i
"Having learned from the navy

Ambassador' de Martino ralld
on the secretary at the hitter's
remiest to receive the note. The
ambassiidor expressed satisfaction
after his conference with the
wcretary that the American gov

what was considered by the Ital

The American note was dated
January l!fl and read as follows:

hearing held by the state public
service commission in the city hall
Jn connection with tho proponed
opening of Fourth and lOighth
streets over the Hntilhnrn Pacific
railroad tracks. The case h pre
sented by tho city of Medford so
far reveals careful preparation
showing need for the Improve
ments.
The. hearing opened this fore-
noon and is being conducted by
Cotnmls.' foners O. l Hortzuioyer
and Hylen I'. Corey. John S. Beck
wlUi is acting as reporter for the
commission. A decision is expect
ed to he reached within two weclis.
Frank Farrcll, city attorney, in
his opening statement, cited needs
for the crossing in view of lack of
through streets. The construction
of the new county court house on
the west side and new school build
ings in the same section were giv
en us reasons for tho opening of
Eighth street. The opening of both
streets is in keeping with cily
plans as were outlined by the
city planning cotnmissinn with Ja
cob Crane, eastern planning engi
neer, ho snid.
Traffic Shown
Dan Herring., who recently made
a traffic check on Main and Sixth
streets, gave figures on the in
crease nf traffic on theso streets.
The totals worn pointed out as
showing why more streets must be
opened over the tracks.
Fred Scheffel, city euRhieer, In
his testimony declared it would not
be a large engineering problem to
bring about the street opening and
spolic o present traffic congestion,
lie declared there are 18,000 peo

cessitating the street Improve
ments, lie explained to effect the
Eighth street crossing one packing
house operated by Ralph Uardwcll,
would have to be removed, as well
as a portion of the Orowcrs' ICx
change building adjoining.
The engineer was asked by Paul
Fan-ens. attorney for the South
ern Pacific company. If he recalled
an agreement the former said was
made by the city with the railroad
company providing that If Sixth
Btreet was opened tho city would
not ask for other openings. Sixth
street was opened thrno years ago.
Scheffel said be did not recall such
understanding.
Census Quoted.
The attorney m;t forth figures
in a traffic count in a do at the
Third street crossing, and said a
recent 31-hour check revealed tho
passing of 506 niitoji over the

Kingsley, alias J. C. Adams, con

morning by Circuit Judge II. I .
Norton;
The court ruled that the present
grand jury could legally hear tho
testimony In the murder case.
There was some doubt on this
point, and jt was thought that
another grand Jury would hava to
bo drawn.
Kingsley Is held to the grand
jury on a first degree murder
rhargft and an indictment on this
charge Avill be sought.
The admitted slayer, howover, Is
adverse to pleading guilty to first
degree murder, which carries the
death penalty, lie has expressed a
willingness to plead guilty to sec
ond degree murder, which carries,
as the extreme penally, Hfu Im
prisonment. The district attorney's
office ref uhch to accept a lesser
plea.
Kingsley claims In extenuation
of his deed, that ho did not com
mit It with premeditation or
malice.
Tho state has three eye wit
