DE VALERA'S VISIT HERE REMEMBERED BY SONS OF ERIN Eamon DeValera, new president of the Irish Free State, who has recent ly been In the limelight because of his declared intention of abolishing the oath to England, and of retaining for the state the land annuity pay ments, was a visitor In Medford for 10 or 15 minutes, about 12 years ago, and Is well remembered by a larse group of Medforditcs who met htm on the depot platform during that stay. On his tour of the United States at that time, DeValera was agitating against England's rule of Ireland, and soliciting financial aid for his cause. His party, including his secretary and the mayor of Wexford, Ireland, was en route from Portland to San Fran cisco, Quite a number of citizens of Irish nativity, and others, were assembled at the depot, and the future presi dent of Ireland was Introduced ull around, giving each a hearty hand shake. The tall, gaunt man of tre mendous personality and earnestness, made a pleasing impression. Bishop Crlsty of Portland, head of the Catholic diocese of Oregon, hap pened to be on the same train en route to San Francisco, and Joined In the greeting at the depot. The writer had a moment's talk with Mr. DeValera, and Owney Pat ton was also one of the welcoming crowd. Owney remained on the train when it pulled out and rode with the DeValera party as far as Ash land, sharing a scait with the mayor of Wexford, a fact of which the lat ter official has ever since been very proud. 4 It's the New De Soto Six Reminiscent of the speedway, yet drawing inspiration from smart European design, the new De Soto radiator sets a fashion that promises to be widely copied. The rich, rounded radiator, with the grille in full view; the bowl type lamps fastened to the frame Instead of being supported by the conventional tie-bar; the full crowned, one-piece, wide sweeping fenders are a few of the smart front end features which individualize the new De Soto.
