LOVE BLUEBEARD FIRST TRAIN RUN OVER NEW RAILROAD SYSTEM Sue Aimee's Hubby Comment The Weather Oregon: Fair Sunday and Monday; lowly rising temperatures and de creasing humidity In tbe Interior, moderate to fresh north and north west winds offshore. on the Day's News ' By FRANK JENKINS IN VARIOUS part of Oregon, crews are busy with the annual task of painting white lines down the center of the highways on curves. It Is a tine Idea, adding greatly to safety. The white Una picks out the center of the road, making it much easier for the driver to atay on his own aide especially at night. But why atop with the CURVES? N CALIFORNIA where they do SOME things better than we do, they paint a white line down the center of ALL state highways stralghaways and curves alike. Those who have driven on the Cali fornia highways, particularly at night, know what a comfort this white line down the center Is. It would be just as much comfort, and Just as much an added factor of safety, here In Oregon,. PUTTING the white line down the center of Oregon's state highways, ALL THE WAT, not Just on the curves, would be Inexpensive. If it saved Just one life In the course of a year, It would be well worth while especially If it happened to be YOUR life, or the life of some mem ber of your family. M IN NORTHERN OREGON, two major highway projects are under discus sion. One Is widening the Pacific highway from Portland to Salem. The other Is building a THIRD high way they already have two, both paved from Portland to the beaches. Here In Southern Oregon, we ap prove without hesitation the pro posal to widen the Pacific, highway from Portland to Salem. It Is the most heavily traveled road In Ore gon, and It Is far too narrow to carry safely the traffic that goes over It. As to the proposal to build a third highway to the beaches, we find It hard to be so enthusiastic. fOU'VB heard the statement that It pays to advertise.' Up In Yak 'lma, in Washington, where for years they have been advertising the qual ity products of their soli, they BE LIEVE It. The Yakima Herald says: "One fruit grower estimates that national advertising of apples has returned a value of five to seven cents per box In Increased demand and better prices from the charge of one cent per box assessed." Five to one Is a pretty good return. A DVERTISINO,' 'wh 1 h creates " wants, and so stimulates de mand, Is the most powerful Influence In modern business. But advertising Is no miracle work er. Just any kind of advertising won't create wanta. If advertising Is to create wants, It must be OOOD ADVERTISING. PERHAPS you may ask: "What Is a good advertisement? Any advertisement that makes you want to buy the product advertised It a good advertisement. But don't forget this: A good advertisement may make you want to buy ONCE, but only a good product can make you want to buy again. COUTHERN Oregon, with Hs Rogue River pears, Its Klamath potatoes, and Its Umpqus prunes and melons, has plenty of distinctive products OOOD ENOUOH to make people want to buy again. Some day Southern Oregon will benefit greatly by Intel ligent advertising of its quality pro ducts. --- "IETTINQ back to Yakima, they have Just acclaimed a new world's champion cow at the state fair held there this week.

FACES VENGEANCE OF Angry Mob Surrounding Jail For Lynching Dispersed With Tear Bombs Lynching Rumors Excite But Leader Lacking. CLARKSBURG, W. Va., Sept. 19. (Sunday) (AP) A crowd of per sons estimated at 4,000 gathered about the Harrison county jail here tonight where Harry F. Powers, ac cused alayer of two women and three children la confined. The massing of the crowd followed rumora current throughout the day that an attempt might be made to get the prisoner. Deputy sheriffs were attempting to hold the assemblage and three arrests were made after tear gaa bombs had been discharged to discourage any at tempt which might be made to storm the Jail. This morning's mob was the first to assemble at the entrance of the county prison since detectives were questioning Powers following his ar rest late In August and the subse quent uncovering of his Quiet Dell "murder farm" on the outskirts of the city. At that time threats of lynching were heard but the crowd waa persuaded to disperse. From conversation gathered among the crowd, it was indicated that those who had gathered as a result of the rumors afloat during the day time that an effort would be made to seek vengeance on the accused slayer. It appeared a mob without a leader, county authorities eald. Those on hand, for the most part men and boys, although there were a goodly number of women to be seen, filled the street at the entrance to the jail.. Shouts of "bring Powers out," and "we want Powers" could be heard. There was no Immediate, concert ed effort to rush the Jail door, the assemblage appearing to, believe an other mob waa on Its way from somewhere to do the actual storm ing. Whether any such a plan was to be expected could not be veri fied. One man, identified as Samuel McQulre, was hurt about the head when struck by a' portion of a tear gas bomb thrown by - police. He was taken Into the Jail for first aid. All available city and county officers were hurriedly summoned to the jail. The fire department waa called into action but as soon as hose had been attached to hydrants It was cut by members of the mob and this effort waa abandoned. The city and coun ty officers, augmented by state pol icemen, continued to throw tear gas bombs, scattering trie crowd and keeping it at a distance.

Although China Is facing a situa tion tantamount to a foreign Invas ion, Nanking aviation officials Indi cated their desire to carry through the full Lindbergh program and to assist the air tourists In seeing as much of China as possible under pre vailing conditions. However, for the government and the nation In gen eral, the Lindbergh's visit Is entirely overshadowed by Japan's pressure In Manchuria. Nanking afternoon newspapers cov ered the Lindbergh's arrival In a few sentences, devoting their largest head- Unes to the Manchurlan crisis and much of their space to long, strong editorials calling upon the nation to unite and face the grave emergency.

(AP) The American government looks upon the clash of ' Japanese and Chinese troops In Manchuria as a conflict be tween Individuals rather than gov ernments and accordingly boos no present ground for Invoking the Kel-logg-Brland pact for renunciation of war. The state department said today It waa following the situation care fully, but that on the basis of news thus far there seemed to be no indi cation of any violation of the treaty. Officials contrasted the situation with the trouble between Russia and China several months ago-which led the United States to remind the two countries that they had signed the Kellogg-Brland agreement and asked all other signatories to use their good offices to prevent war. In the Slno-Russlsn affairs, officials said, the state department was satis fied that the soldiers were acting un der direct authorization of their gov ernments. In the present instance it Is felt 'the fighting Is wholly unau thorized and results largely from 111 feeling between the Japanese and Chinese troopers in part growing out of the recent execution of a Japanese officer In Manchuria. It was Indicated that If develop ments showed the governments were Involved and warfare threatened this country again would remind the con tending nations of their agreement and also appeal to the other signa tories of the pact.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Sept. 19. (AP) Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, prominently mentioned as a Democratic presidential possibility, tonight urged the nation to face the fact prohibition cannot succeed. Addressing the American Bar aa aoclatlon he related his definite opinions on Important economic and political, national and Internatonal questions, emphasizing that "the peo ple want the truth" on all questions, ; and condemning the policy of pub lic men to "aide-step' 'and "pussy foot." He upheld the effort of business to lessen government intervention and regulation, but assailed the "ten dency of the people to look largely to the business men and the finan cier, as specialists, for leadership," recalling that this depression "the fifteenth major one In the last cen tury, we are told on high authority caught him (the business man) unprepared." He urged realization of the eco nomic Interdependence of the nations of the western world, despite a "Eur ope almost In economic reverse" part ly because of an American tariff so high It "shuts the door on some of our best national customers and In vites their retaliations and repris als." Meanwhile the bar association adopted a resolution, largely along the lines of the Wlckeraham report, on crime, condemning unlawful en forcement and- third degree methods, but adding a recommendation prose cutors be allowed to comment on the refusal of a defendant to testify In hla own defense, which was direct ed particularly at gangs terdom. On prohibition, Governor Ritchta said: "If some of us In the beginning believed in the 18th amendment as a means for temperance, which 1 did not happen to do why after ten years delude ourselves any longer into thinking prohibition can ever pro hibit or that It will ever promote temperance In any way? Why not face the fact the last state Is worse than the first? "The Wlckeraham commission did what I regard as a stupendous piece of work thoroughly well done, and yet they submitted unanimous de cision to which nearly all the Judges who concurred In It filed strong In dividual opinions dissenting from It and it la In these Individual opin ions that the facts are given, clear, palpable and Incontrovertible." ,. "I believe the people want the truth," the governor added. "If pol itics has fallen from its once high estate, I think thla Is largely due to the fear of so many In politics to face the truth. . . . Side-stepping and pussy-footing two soft sound ing names for political cowardice and hypocrisy are becoming a fine art." ROSEBURO, Ore., 8ept. 19.
