Frost, bacteriolo gist at the University of Wis consin, has developed a vaccine which may prove a means of con ' trolling tuberculosis. If you are threatened with tuber culosis, or If someone near and dear to you la, that la vastly bigger sews to you than what Is going to bap pen to reparations and the war debts. rwlll Interest you, or at least It should, to know that Dr. Frost has devoted 39 years of Intensive research to the discovery of his vac cine. ' Things that are really worth while, you see, require hard work for their accomplishment. One of the worst mistakes you f can take, U you are young, la to ac quire the idea that success Is WON EASILY. SMITH Reynolds! heir to ttie Camel cigarette millions, born nine years after Dr. Frost began hla tuber culosis vaccine research, dies mys teriously just how, no one knows a yet, but It seems reasonably cer tain that a scandal la connected with hla death In some manner. Poor kid! He had too much money and too little sense. ' That combination la always a cal amity. WOOD, we read! Is alighted in the specifications for the new poet office at Portland, the architects In flating on steel in a variety of places where wood would have been both Cheaper and better. Without trying to excuse the arch itects, It Is probable that they didn't ven know of the superiority of wood for these uses. Lumbermen were amazed a few years ago to learn that the big arch itecture and engineering schools were teaching their students all about the qualities of steel and other substitutes for wood, but NOTHING AT ALL about the qualities of wood. WITH all the ' young architects and all the young engineers coming out of Vie colleges knowing all about wood substitutes and know ing nothing at all about wood, It is little wonder that wood has suffered as a building material. THE lumber Industry is In a bad way. We all know all about that, for we live In a country where lumber la the big payroll Industry. But It Is a little surprising to learn that the lumber Industry, as a whole, la running at a higher per centage of capacity than the steel Industry, It doesn't do us any particular good, of course, but sometimes it Is comforting to know that the other fellow la just aa bad off as we are, and perhaps a little worse. IN the big boom 'years that began wits the war and lasted for 11 years after the war ended, steel and other substitutes for wood prospered. They cost more, but who cared? Money waa plentiful, and people were In the mood to get what they thought waa the best, regardless of cost. In the more sensible years that are coming, when a dollar will be worth a dollar and will be harder to get than in the big boom years. wood, which Is the best and most economical building material for very large variety of purposes, ought to come back into its own. VVAR Krueger, the Swedish match king who recently committed sui cide, stole fifty million dollars in . bonds of the International Match company while he waa Its president. That's the kind of business lead ership In high places that has lost for big business the confidence of the public. That kind of 'business leadership, by the way, Is the product of get-rlch-qulck times such as the big boom years that ended with the crash of 1039. 4 B UT note this; The get-rlch-qulck leaders In business are practically all gone. There la Krueger, for example, and Xnsull and Foshay, along with a crowd of others. The men w,ho are surviving are the plain, honest business men, who treated their customers fairly and (Continued on fage four) WASHINGTON. July 18. (AP) More than fire billion pieces of one cent candy were reported today by the commerce department to have been sold last year, Indicating there Is little, If any, hoarding among the children. Sales of penny candy ag gregated approximate'.? 195.000.000 pounds with a retail value of more )bfi $40,000,000, AND RELIEF BILLS ERE ADJOURNING President Hoover Expected To Sign Both Measures In Few Days Last Hours Full Of Fun. Oratory. WASHINGTON. July 17. (AP), The 72nd congress adjourned Its long session at 11:25 o'clock tonight, rack ed to the last with dispute such as has embroiled It for many of the months since December, but able to say that at the end of It had set tled Its differences over the long pending relief and .home loan bank legislation. The agreement on the $2,122,000,- 000 relief bill came through the sen ate's yielding to the house on the controversial clause for publicity on reconstruction corporation loans. Accept Glass Rider Conversely the house gave way on the home loan bill, accepting at last the Glass rider which will make pos sible nearly a billion dollar expan sion of the currency. President- Hoover Is expected to sign both within the next few days. In vie dragging finale caused by the final day deadlocks on the two points, the senate turned to prohi bition, debating at length the Glass resolution to submit a substitute for the 18th amendment. The talk for hours held up adop tion of the resolution of adjournment, both houses having been In session since the forenoon. Equalization Fee Falls. An effort to attach the McNary- Haugen equalization fee plan to the house bill carrying funds for the home loan banking board failed as senators refused to consider it. Of fered by Howell (R., Neb.) It would have applied the equalization fee plan only to wheat as an experi ment. The last hours of the senate ses sion were filled with a mixture of humor, oratory, and bitterness. The crowded galleries were fre quently warned by Vice President Curtis to maintain order as the pro hibition debate waxed humorous. Twice during the evening Curtis warned senators to observe the rules of parliamentary procedure, once when Senator Couzens ,R., Mich.) was making a bitter attack on Sen ator Watson, Republican leader. Couzens said he hoped Watson would be defeated in November. The Michigan senator's speech was on the decision to grant funds for operation of the home loan bank sys tem, It finally being voted to allow $250,000 for that purpose. . 75 HEAT VICTIMS T SPELL OF SEASON By The Associated Press Summer's first sweltering blast re tarded over most of the nation Sat urday, leaving a foil of perhaps 75 dead and considerable crop damage and also a threat to return soon with even higher temperatures. Several sections, notably the south west, suffered under uncomfortable heat, but the 95 to 100 degree tem peratures of Friday ere lacking in most places, except In the western plains states where 100 plus readings were common. Elsewhere from coast to coast, most of the nation had en durable, and In many sections en joyable, week-end weather. A prediction of new and perhaps more Intense heat within the next few days was made, however, by C. A. Donnel, government weather fore caster In Chicago. The toll of dead In Chicago from the 97 degree heat Friday reached 16 with two additional deaths from prostration. SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 (AP) Hope that President Hoover "may de clare himself afresh" in favor of pro hibition was expressed by the na tional northern Baptist convention here today as the delegates pledged themselves to wage unceasing battle in behalf of the eighteenth amend ment and the Volstead act. The expression of hope concerning the president's attitude was added by the convention, by unanimous vote, to a resolution which called for un swerving support of the present dry laws.

David Rosenberg, president of the bureau, expressed great satisfaction that Professor Hart man's services would again be available to the pear Industry of Oregon and Washington and with the full cooperation and facilities of the college. Professor Hartman'a work has been of Incalculable value to the fruit growers of this section. It is diffi cult to estimate the value of his work In the eastern markets and In Med ford. His efforts have been largely responsible for placing local fruit be fore the consumers In prime condi tion. It is now possible to obtain pears of excellent quality at nearly every fruit stand In New York City during nine months of the year. One of the principal fee tors has been the education of the buyers and retailers in the proper handling of the product. Growera are entirely fa miliar with Hartman'a work on condl tlonlng Bosc pears and his exhaustive packing and transportation tests car ried forward in his winter pear com mittee work, together with his assist ance in the advertising program car ried forward on Bosc pears by D. R. Wood's committee. It is expected that within a few days definite announcement will come from the Oregon State college as to the exact nature of the study which will be followed this year. Nells pears and pinhole decay will be one of the major points undertaken and a fur ther study of the proper marketing season for different varieties will be continued. It Is thought that Profes sor Hartman may be In Medford to Initiate his plans In the very near rut ii re. David Rosenberg was re-elected president of the organisation for the next year. Other officers were also asked to continue their services. The trustees were well pleased with the Initial year's efforts on advertising and made arrangements to continue the work through Wm. Horsley, ex ecutive secretary of the organization. A uniform contract was adopted for the next year and It was noted that financial condition of the bureau was excellent Not only has work been done In billboard advertising and through the newspapers but also pears have been Introduced to restaurants and hotels through trade Journa'a and direct service. The bureau will soon he in a position to make an , nounoement of interesting research carried forward along line. S DEFY POLICE BY Disorder Averted By Swift Concessions From Au thoritiesLeader Arrest ed And Later Released. WASHINGTON , July 16. (AP) After a brief tussle, police tonight cleared the sidewalk In front of the White House of a hundred or more veterans of the bonus-seeking squad rons who had attempted to set up picketing there. WASHINGTON. July 16. (AP) The army of vcrterans clamoring for the payment of the Donus rushed the capltol today in open defiance of po lice orders, and disoroer was averted only by swift concessions from the authorities. Concentrating on the great build ing from all parts of the city the ragged army waa ordered by police to stay on the far side of the plaza from the building, but led by their com mander, W. W. Waters, they broke through a thin police line and rushed toward the capltol. Waters was arrested by Brigadier General Pelham D. Glassford, super intendent of Washington police, who took personal charge of the situa tion. "I told the vice-president I'd keep the plaza clear. When I say I'll do a thing, I'll do it," Glassford shouted. "We want Waters," the army ans wered. "I don't want any trouble, but we will have It if you do not get back." Long drawn out boos greeted him. "I have Waters under arrest and as soon aa you go back I'll release him" Glassford declaimed, using his hands for a megaphone. The men did not go back. Waters was brought and his efforts to get them to withdraw were of no avail. Glassford and Waters then met In the capltol basement, left by a side door and went to the back of the crowd. Then?, after an argument, the bonus army commander was re leased and went to the bandstand to speak.

Lamkin, that the Irrigation districts of Jackson county will secure financial aid un der provisions of the relief bill pass ed by congress Saturday and now on the president's desk for approval. According to the county Judge, federal funds thus secured could be used for the re-bondlng of the Med ford and Talent districts and for needed improvements and repalra In the ditch systems of the two projects. Thus the two districts would be able to lessen the burden of the bond in debtedness and make other changes that would improve the situation. Judge Lamkin estimates that $3,000, 000 would cover the needs. "I believe," said Judge Lamkin, that adjustment of the needs of the Irrigation districts should come first, and that It would benefit more peo ple than other projects. Placing the irrigation districts on a sound basis would perk up business, the farmers and conditions In general." County Judge Lamkin said that for five years, efforts had been made to secure federal aid for the irrigation districts, and that the Oregon sena tors and congressmen and California representatives had altlven for this end during that period. He further stated that the irrigation district di rectors, and Manager Olen Arnsplger had been In close touch with the situation for months. I don't oppose the coast railroad project," said Judge Lamkin. "1 have been for it for 13 years ever since it was first mentioned. It would be a good thing. But I feel It Is second ary In Importance to the rehablllta tlon of Irrigation district affairs which will cost leas, benefit Ml lines and not take as much time. Irriga tion aid will take a lot of the strain off everybody and in a hurry." Olen Arnsplger, manager of the two districts, attended a meeting in eastern Oregon Friday and Saturday, when reclamation and Irrigation prob lems of Oregon were discussed and plans for the future made.

I don't like to see any one turn up her toes and suffer" the remark fitted perfectly the tones of Lloyd Osbourne'a English voice, spiced with French exuberance, as the author of much renown answered the barrage of questions from porters, upon his arrival In Medford yesterday noon. Coming with ,hls sister, Mrs. Sals- bury Fleldt whose husband wrote 'Wedding Bells," from the south, and before that from the south of France, for a short holiday at the 0. N. Black river lodge, the author of "Love the Fiddler' and many an other book, was In the best of spirits. His stand on the success question was taken when his thirst for news brought mention of a new book aimed to dethrone the great evange list, Almoe McPhcrson, and he didn't hesitate to aay he didn't like the Idea. Following hla short stay here he will return to San Francisco and to the Bohemian Jinks at Bohemian Grove, "for which,"" he declared, "people are arriving from all parts of the world." "I came over to see what was hap pening," he continued, hla hands In smart gray gloves stroking the extra luggage stscked about him.

Gore, banker, who first proposed the proposition of borrowing $6,500,000 of government funds for railroad construction said, "I have not given up hope, and believe that some work Is being done towards the desired end."

Mr. Gore said that he had In formed the county court that he had In mind a man fully equipped and competent to carry on the necessary work at the national capltol and "would present his name at the pro per time, but did not care to have him discussed at thla stage."
